Dead battery today. 2019 Rebel, 8700 miles on the truck. Took me awhile to get her started while jumping it with my wife’s Yukon XL (I mention her vehicle only as a point of reference that it was being jumped with a hefty battery). Truck has only been sitting a couple of days. No aux power...

Honestly: get a lawyer. If FCA is the same as they have been the last few years, I would not be hopeful that they will roll your investment into a new vehicle. Plus, the lawyer can probably get you more than your initial investment for the pain and suffering (literally in this case).

You would be surprised how powerful the customer voice is these days...especially with Social Media.

Excellent. Thanks for the piece of mind.

Hey gang, I noticed that my oil pressure runs higher than "normal" for the first 3 miles or so when first driving the truck. It idles ~53 psi and climbs to ~60 psi during normal driving. After the first few miles, it will drop back down to what I have noticed, prior to my first oil change, to...

Thanks @RamCares Sent you a message.

Oh no. They are willing to fix it. By repainting it. I dont want it repainted. I asked for alternatives...he said anything else they try will most likely make it worse. So taking the option off the table of repainting a brand new truck...and if the body shop is saying there is no...

Met with dealership. The took it to their body shop for an estimate. Never gave me the estimate, said to just bring it back on Jan 15th, and that it may take a few days. Asked them what was going to be done: service advisor didnt know. Left there, went straight to their body shop, asked the...

Sounds like what I went through with my 2016 Charger. Was told to come pick it up after they supposedly fixed it...only to be told once I got there that they attempted to fix it, only to fail. Instead of offering me a loaner while they continued their efforts, I was asked to take it home and...

My gut tells me you are not wrong. I am hoping that having a face-to-face with the service manager next week will yield some results.

Talked to the Service Advisor on 12/23. He claims his manager stopped/prevented the claim from reaching FCA, as the service manager was under the impression that the truck was purchased from their dealership and he wanted to track down who did the PDI (pre-delivery inspection) prior to...

+1 on the iPhone issue where the other party cannot hear me in the middle of a call. Has happened a handful of times in the ~3 months of ownership. Also had the backup camera remain engaged once. Reversed out of a parking spot...put it in drive...backup camera never went away. Tried everything...

Well...still have not heard back from FCA. Working with service advisor to have their body shop just take a look at it and make a recommendation. I hate it when things take this long.

What did they offer? A re-spray, or are they going to wet sand/buff it out?

Yeah, I can only imagine. Its not like they wrap these things in bubble wrap until the new owner takes delivery.
