Has anyone had a dead battery?

You jumped it 6 times in 5 days and only after that stopped working did you decide to take it in?

That's 3 new people joined around 6:45am to bump threads with weird stories.

My guess (for this one at least) is they googled the issue they were having and that search brought them right to this thread

I had my new RHO for 5 days and jumped it 6 times before it wouldn't jump and I had it towed to a dealer. The dealer claims it needs a "Digital Key Control Module" which is on backorder. It's been sitting at the dealer for 15 days. I haven't set up my phone to use as a key in UConnect so I assume this part also controls the key fob or contains a receiver for the key fob. Has anyone else had this issue?

Update: after 21 days at the dealer I went to pick up my RHO. They said they replaced the Key Control Module as well as both batteries. They went to bring it around for me but it wouldn't start. So they put me back in the loaner. This is painful. At what point do I push the dealer to take it back?

That's not really an option commonly available. What you should be doing is researching lemon law in your state and opening a retention case with Ram. The buyback will come from Ram, not the dealer, if at all. And if they are not interested in doing that, you need to be documenting everything so that you can open a lemon law case and handle it that way.

That's like asking most folks here if they breathe regularly...
