Mine is very intermittent as well -- spoke with service manager and he suggested the same -- bring in when the code is active and they can scan it while before it cycles off.
Joe, I just had mine serviced yesterday. Here's what they did:I will be interested in how your visit goes, Duckin.
My blind spot seems to get worse. It takes out Auto Emergency Braking as well and Hands Free driving assist. When it shuts off, it turns on the indicators in the side mirrors and they are so bright that you cannot see well at night and could easily miss a car in your blind spot, which is ironic. It is an accident waiting to happen.
Mine got worse over the weekend. Not my Active Driving Assist (non active driving) is not working as well. I have adapted cruise, but not the ability to steer the truck wih hands on the wheel. I have had it now enter a controlled stop mode where it says coming to a controlled stop in the road twice, but thankfully it has not done this yet.
Also having issues with parksense not being available. Again another intermittent problem. Not sure if this is related
All of these issues are intermittent, and I got the dreaded dealer could not duplicate response from service which is very frustrating. Does this not leave some kind of fault code that they can check to diagnose? Since mine is getting a lot more frequent (happens every other day seems like - although has hit me last 4 days every day), I am hoping that they actually can duplicate. Best case is I drive it to the dealer when disabled, but I am worried that they shut the truck off and it goes away. My hope right now is that it degrades to the point that it happens more frequently and they can duplicate it. My cell phone pictures of over a dozen incidents are not sufficient for some reason.
Duckin - I am hoping that you have some luck and can find some information that helps.
Joe,Thanks Duckin! What a comprehensive reply. I hope your issue is fixed. Interesting that this seemed in your case to be more of a software/calibration fix then hardware. I am taking my truck in tomorrow to get it fixed. I will definitely mention the fix that you outline above. We seem to have the exact same issue from your description.
Are they saying the cleaning off of the mud isn't covered, or fixing/protecting the module isn't covered?I have a 2025 Warlock, 2,500 miles on it so far. Amazing truck and love the new Straight Six!! and have been having the same issue for almost 1,000 miles now. Took it in and mine was covered by dirt and mud. I do have to drive down some dirt roads and depending on the rains, they do get muddy. Apparently the module is inside the bumper and not very protected from the elements. Waiting to hear back from the advisor as they are initially saying it’s not covered by the warranty.
I guess the off road Warlock package from RAM, is meant to just look off-road! No driving down dirt roads
I will be very upset if they don’t cover it. I also will need to figure out ways to protect that as I cannot avoid those roads. Funny, my last trucks a F350 and Chevy 2500 nor my wife’s Subaru Outback or Kia telluride has any issues like this on the same roads traveled!
We shall see how this gets handled.
I'd say push back on them, or go to another dealer or try to get RAM cares involved, if that's still a thing? 1-866-RAM-INFO Unless you are doing major off-roading or going bumper deep into a mud pile, that's a place that no one is going to see/clean regularly. I'll have to check my bumper to see how mine looks.I’m the same as you, luckily they built a very nice quality car wash near me. I have a monthly unlimited membership for myself and the family and I use it daily. If not every other day. I like to have a clean car when I show up a client‘s homesmy job doesn’t tell me to drive down dirt road so I’m gonna have to figure out a fix for this for sure! They’re saying the dirt mud and water apparently got into the unit and that’s what caused it to go bad. Looking at the photos it appears there’s just a small amount of a fabric covering it but it’s pretty wide open. Surprise ram didn’t catch this in their testing before they released it. Also surprised I don’t see more of this on the forms with it being an issue.
This is what the advisor text me back.”
Good morning; The module would not be covered under basic warranty do to the cause of failure being the excessive mud build up in it.”
I replied back, of course, and I’m still waiting for a reply again.
It appears there’s some type of fabric that’s partially covering the bottom as you can see it in the photo they sent me. I honestly didn’t look under the bumper because the display kept telling me to clean off the back of the brake light. When I get the truck back, I’ll definitely get under there and take a look and see what I can come up with. Wondering if a good protectant film spray would help as well once I replace the part. But I feel like that should be covered on the back of the bumper.
