First Gremlin

[Snekpete]

Drove the truck to the Appalachian Trail, about a 15 minute drive. Walked for an hour and came back. Started the truck, let the Uconnect stabilize, set the temperature to low, then back up to 62. The horn blows once, the emergency flashers come on and the center console display switches from MPH to Tire Pressure. I tried manually turning on and off the flashers with no effect. Maybe ten seconds later the flashers turn themselves off and everything returns to normal after that. I manually reset the console.

4,400 miles, the first Gremlin. It seems like it could have been a low voltage condition but I didn't check the voltage until after everything returned to normal. It seemed like the AC compressor kicked on when I set the temp to low and that triggered a gremlin.

Check out this thread, might clarify your gremlin. I've had this happen before.

Hazards flashing/Horn honking while in park?

Had stopped to take a call putting my '19 in park when my instrument cluster switched to the tire pressure screen, hazards turned on automatically and the horn began honking.... WTF? turned truck off and restarted - hasnt happened since. 10k miles on it....

Thanks Jeff! I did a forum search with "horn emergency flashers" and that thread did not come up. Clearly that is the relevant thread to what I experienced. My Rebel specs the front tires at 55psi and the rears at 45. The TPS shows 59/59 and 46/48. Perhaps one of the fronts hit 60 on the TPS? But who cares, the tires are rated to at least 70.

Anyway, I went into the Uconnect settings and turned off tire fill assist. I hope that gets rid of this gremlin. Thanks again!

Hahaha

I thought this was the first gremlin?

Second Gremlin, 4,500:

Took the truck out into a snowy, muddy harvested corn field by the Monocacy river. Had trouble getting her back up and out. Axle lock actually makes things worse. Left her in the mud for an hour while I walked Louie. Left the truck in 4WD High. Came back, started up and got two console warning messages, Service Stability Control and Service Trailer Tow. The orange console traction control off light illuminates. No CEL, everything else is normal. Get out without too much trouble, shift to 2WD and the traction control light goes out, everything back to normal.

Both of these Gremlins are software bugs. RamCares should point these anomalies out and open trouble tickets so that the errors can potentially be fixed, at least in future iterations.

Needs a hellcat engine....

Not exactly a gremlin. I'm driving down the highway and changing into the left lane. A console warning pops up, "Turn Signal ON". My brain processes the information as Put the turn signal on you moron. I've driven rental cars where if you change lanes without using the turn signal you get a warning, very annoying, I didn't think that my truck had this.

Then I realize that the right turn signal was on and has been on for quite a while, hmm, am I one of THOSE drivers?

Third gremlin:

Opened the two rear windows yesterday to let the dog stay cool while I went in the store. When I came back the right rear window would not close, it would not do anything. As I was driving the dog got excited and jumped on the ledge to stick his head out. After that the window closed. Haven't tried opening or closing it since.

Well, you might want to try opening the window to let the dog get his head out!!!
