Hoping for some help, I have 1200 miles on my 2021 limited, the check engine light now stays on and I cannot get the engine to go into ECO mode ( light is enabled) despite my trying. I cannot remote start it with FOB now, and will shut down if I remote start with the APP. waiting on delivery of a code reader .
Had a 2013 Laramie that also had issues the day I drove it out of the dealer I had to drive it back in. Pushrod failed! Then a long list of other issues. Hoping history does not repeat here

I know it sucks but I’d take it back to the dealer and let them figure it out , that’s why they give us warranties .

This is totally a dealer issue. Drop it back off, get a loaner, and test the snot out if when you they say it's done. (Don't sign for it: tell them you'll test drive it, with a tech, if they want. Make it about ~20 minutes or more (to run all the MIL tests) before you head back to the dealership. A 5 minute spin around the block is insufficient.)

After it's fixed to your satisfaction, then sign the papers.

Remote start will not work under certain conditions, an illuminated check engine light being one of them. Get an ODB II scan tool, super cheap these days and can save a trip to the dealership
