I understand how Dealerships work. I used to call other dealers all the time and ask if they would sell me parts. My issue is dealers don't even try that anymore. Just order and wait.
same story some have been sitting at dealers for months waiting on parts
Because it doesn't matter if they call or not. Dealers aren't selling to other dealers.
ok lol
So the dealership has no idea what the issue is. Star Service sent an engineer out and he is also not able to find the problem. He states that my truck is the only truck in the nation having this issue. I've reached back out to Customer Care and am pushing for them to buy it back, I've also started looking for a lawyer that specializes in lemon law cases.
It’s now 25 days waiting for the “star” people to respond or do anything. Sounds like a great system!
I feel your pain. They are idiots just code readers and parts replacers lol. They are not mechanics anymore. They can't even balance tires right anymore.I have one of the first few rebels to leave factory and my trans is like a bad stick driver when driving slow after three four trips to dealer i gave up. Dont be nice gets no where with these people.
C’mon, man. Slow the hate. Not all techs are like that. Maybe you should swap dealerships
This number was magic!!!!
Your right i shouldn't hate.At the same time if there isn't a code they can read to get them going in a direction then the problems begin like your brand new 80k truck sitting at dealership.C’mon, man. Slow the hate. Not all techs are like that. Maybe you should swap dealerships

Sounds just like what I’m going through! 231 miles and it went crazy! Blind spot, airbags, brakes, the whole deal. Lights and warning all over the place. Took it back and they said water in the left tail light. They replaced lens and wiring loom. After about a week in the shop I got it home. So I thought if it was water intrusion then maybe I should run it through the car wash with the undercarriage spray option. Did not get out of the parking lot. 285 miles it went crazy again. I got under the truck to inspect the connectors expecting to find one not properly plugged together but instead I found what I believe to be a design flaw that almost guarantees water intrusion. I pointed it out to the service manager and the tech but they said it was likely a ground issue. So when they called me back and said they had it ready and for me to come and pick it up, I ask if they had sprayed up under it. He said give me 15 minutes and I’ll spray it. 20 minutes later he called me back and told me it went crazy on them right there in the shop. The service manager called the Field Engineer and he opened up a “Star Case”. The connector junction is directly below the driver’s door and mounted to the outside of the frame. Two wiring looms terminate at this junction with the wiring entering the lid assembly from the top. There are cavities where each of the wiring looms enter the assembly and I can’t see how they can help but fill up with water when it’s wet outside. They said Stellantis was working on the issue and they would contact me when a fix was available. In the meantime, they taped it up with some 3M electrical tape and that should do it until they come up with a permanent fix.
pics would be awesome. Is this rho only or all models.
I’ll have to check this out if my new pcm doesn’t fix it. Are you in a RHO?
I doubt it. More likely it would be ruled that if you buy a pro scanner you already have the ability to diagnose & repair your own vehicle (assuming you can buy the necessary parts which even the dealers can't). When I first started watching this forum I couldn't believe how many people were hacking their vehicles to add features and how simple it seemed using off the shelf consumer grade tools. What this implied was lack of security in the electronics modules. Over the past few years suppliers have been hard pressed to implement cyber security features to ensure vehicle safety. After all, no one wants their vehicle hacked remotely and as a consequence, hacking in your garage is eliminated as well. This also comes at a cost of not allowing detailed information on proprietary bus messaging into the public as well as ensuring bus traffic is encrypted. So take your choice, new high end tech features (with a locked down bus starting in 2025) or the ability to hack your RAM (2024 and earlier). One of the reasons it was so simple to hack the earlier Rams was the use of LSCAN allowing modules to be plugged into a star bus. This is no longer possible when they implement CANFD. Harnesses become much more specific to the vehicle build.https://www.kbb.com/car-news/federal-judge-rules-you-have-right-to-repair-your-own-car/
Maybe this means the CAN Bus will have to be decrypted or published or whatever to allow ALFAOBD
Windex fixes everything, I saw it on the Big Fat Greek Wedding movie...
