Ram Experience

[Dvaut]

I just need to vent. At 6600 miles the electrical/battery issue hit me today when I tried to go to work. Last night the radio was coming on randomly. I have also been noticing the bed light staying on at night when I turn truck off and I have to manually shut it off. Who knows if it stays on during the day. I tried having it towed through the ram app to my regular dealer and they wanted over $400. The closest dealer was going to be $60. I called ram cares and got quoted over $400 dollars to be towed to my ussual dealer. I guess I will just buck up for aftermarket batteries because I can't afford to be out of a truck. What a pain in the ass.

Went in for a few recalls and a couple of updates. Which I was fearing the updates as the truck has been perfect (my26 11 months). Well one of the updates sucks, my Uconnect is now glitchy and the update to the backup camera has made it horrible. Never had an issue with it now I question if it will actually turn on as it has a big delay in it (delay is not turned on).
Who does Ram hire to make their software? Did they get their degrees out of a crackerjack box? I mean come on really!!!!
Going to try a hard reboot and hope for the best.

Maybe, if you don't have any issues I would leave well enough alone.

I decided to have it carried to another dealer that is 15 miles closer at no fee. I have never dealt with them. I guess time will tell.
