You are posting in the 2025 Ram 1500 current owners thread. You just posted you have a 2022.

I just drive a turbo car like any other. I don't bother giving it any kind of special treatment. For people who park in a garage, it's not really feasible to start your car and let it run for a few minutes before driving, nor is it feasible to let it continue to run in the garage before...

I don't think people have a problem with someone saying something negative about Ram, but you sound understandably disgruntled and do seem to generalize your issues to applying to every Ram. Ram sells a lot of pickups. I have had 3 Rams and never had any of the issues you listed above. Ford...

I use to hate turbos. And still do in some cars with small motors. Historically, turbos would have a lot of lag and the motor would have no power at all at lower rpm's. But many cars and trucks today you can't even notice the turbos. For me, the i6tt in my Laramie just feels like a big...

I never even tried using sport mode in my truck. I do consider myself a little bit of an aggressive driver though. Not so much punching it from a start but more like I'm not so happy being stuck behind slow drivers. I do have a sports car for the warmer months that I like to have a little fun in.

I should have mentioned that my post was referring to how it works without Apple CarPlay working. I'm not a big fan of CarPlay so I still haven't used it in my truck.

I'm not even sure. It just always worked that way since I got the truck.

On my truck if I get a text message, a pop up shows up on my uconnect screen with options. One of the options is to listen to the text message. It won't read the message out loud unless I press the listen button tab on the pop up.

Go to your bluetooth settings and make sure notifications are turned on in your uconnect setting. That might be it, but not sure 100 percent.

I think there is a setting on your phone you have to turn on notifications or something. So check that also.

Ok, good luck. My only point was that any time I ever heard of rodent damage to a car, it was usually followed with something about the car being parked for at least a few weeks.

My feelings on this are that if you drive your vehicle regularly, the chances of rodents making a home and damaging your vehicle are slim. My guess is that this most likely started while the truck was sitting parked for extended periods of time. Since the OP just purchased the truck, and was...

So is the dealership covering the cost?

You just recently purchased this truck? Edit: Just reread your post that you got the truck a week ago. Is the dealership going to take care of the rodent damage for you?

I tend to agree with this. Vehicles get labeled as lemons, but it's because someone is failing to diagnose the problem correctly. If the problem was diagnosed correctly and repaired properly the first time, the vehicle wouldn't continue to be problem and labeled a lemon. Instead, they start...
