The bottom line in reading all the threads and posts on this issue is no one has ever had it fixed. Shame on RAM again.

Did you check your Aero settings?
Mine has Settings/Suspension/Aero you can turn Aero on or off. If off, it doesn't automatically go to Aero height.
In you press the info button it tells you that turning this on will automatically return to Aero height when you start driving.

Whether you have this feature on or off, truck will not allow you to drive in EE mode above the set speed limit.

This is incorrect. The truck will not prevent you from driving any speed the truck is capable of reaching if it doesn't automatically raise from EE mode on its own. Numerous videos and pictures prove this.

Yes it will do exactly that. It comes up on my cluster "reduce speed to maintain ride height" also when in off road mode, it will tell you the same thing as you approach 20mph

At what speed does that happen? You exceeded 45 mph in the video you posted, and that message wasn't displayed.

Yes, that's the point I was trying to make in the video and reason I started this thread. In the video it doesn't Raise. Hence the "malfunction" title. Anyway.

Sorry man, maybe I'm not being clear and didn't go about describing this properly from the get go. Give me a couple hours and I will post a video of the "ride height" msg.

No worries, I believe you when you say there is a message. I was just wondering at what speed that message is displayed.

Looks like I was mistaken. There is no message. But regardless, It should lift automatically like it does here everytime

we don't want them to "fix" it. it is fine the way it is. power cycle the truck or hit the button. or don't lower the truck with the fob, lower it before you open the door when you park.

You'll get thst message but the truck will not prevent you from going faster.
That's simply an informative warning that increasing speed will cause the truck to raise. It doesn't prevent an increase in speed

You either don't have this feature or don't know how to use it. The reason the lowering button is on the fob it's SO YOU CAN USE IT ON THE FOB. Not hard to figure that one out is it ? Anything that does not operate as designed - or ever will- is not "fine" - it shows a lack of quality control and customer service apathy by RAM.

My Rebel seems to be working fine so far. If I lower it with FOB or with button to exit mode.
It auto move to aero mode at about 20-25 KM. It will also lower to aero if you are driving too fast.
I turned that feature off.

In console settings, you can turn off messages and it will just warn you. I have messages on.
As I mentioned above I also turned off auto lower based on speed, off.

I keep mine almost always in Aero mode.
I have 2021 Rebel

Nobody said it prevents you from going faster. It doesn't auto raise sometimes. Will stay on EE even if I'm going 100mph. I don't know why this is difficult for some to understand.

IT GETS STUCK IN EE sometimes and I have to push button myself to raise. It should auto rise every single time...regardless if it's been lowered by the keyfob..the button or fairys.
