CAT/Battery Issues

[AFX]

I’ve been one on the lucky ones with neither of these issues, but I saw this on Facebook (So it has to be true), so I thought I’d share. Quote below, screenshot attached.

“All, my father is a retired engineer from Stellantis. He was a director in the ECM cal group working on the TRX/Hellcat. I had him reach out to a guy that worked for him who is now assigned to the T6 (RHO). According to him the cat issue is resolved with an updated calibration. The battery issue has been being worked on and there will be an ECM update next month. The earlier models built need to make sure software and ECM cal is up to date to minimize issues.”

Not to burst any bubbles but battery issues for stellantis have been around forever. Since they still havent figured it out and more tech keeps getting added which means more modules i dont see it going away. My 2 cents...

No, most likely not...but maybe they can mitigate things with a software update? So maybe it still drains but they find a way to not have all the modules wake up and make it last longer.

Either way, if the OPs post is true this is great news that they are working towards fixing things.

Im am optimist my friend, but hope to start seeing action. Automotive industry is so dissolved its crazy. When jobs are outsourced im not sure how that helps. The guy in India working to resolve battery issues that cant touch a phyisical vehicle and relies on data. Just doesnt box to me. Nothing against him/her just handcuffed from not physically being boots on the ground.

I agree. It is not looking good overall for the industry. That said, I am glad (again if what the OP stating is true) at least something is in the works. I can't even begin to explain how badly I want this truck to be a bit more reliable. If this truck was like all my other vehicles that really had very minor to no issues at all (at least for the first 2-3 years), this would hands down be the best vehicle I have ever owned. There is still a chance it could get there lol.

We are in 1000% percent agreement with that. I have the same hopes. I bought instead of lease like normal so i have a long term plan for this vehicle for now. Unless i truly get sick of it being black. Hahaha... But also could likely happen. If i sell I hope its for that reason alone and not a reliability one.
