2 years? Someone at the dealer is making $hit up.I overheard from one of the dealer advisers that these batteries average life is 2 years max in many cases

dont worry you'll learn the hard wayGot my truck back from dealer.
New battery was install. Still Dash and center back console usb's turn on in a loop when fob is nearby, atleast that seems to be the case. Not sure if this would be enought to drain the battery. Getting a faraday box for the fob

lol, hopefully not in the middle of nowheredont worry you'll learn the hard way
This is ridiculous.
Did they just put some crap batteries in or is this a defect caused by eTorque? Never seen this in any other previous Generation before eTorque was added. Has a cause for batteries dying well before normal life ever been confirmed?
nothing officially confirm from FCA but - apparently by the numbers not enough % for FCA to investigate - I also was wondering yesterday if it had something to do with the etorque vs a standard alternator but it just cross my mind and don't know enough to make an educated guess or statement on itThis is ridiculous.

answered in another threadHere we, hoping this is a fluke but maybe it was more than a dead battery.
2 days after dealer replace the battery on my drive from work to home
Dash, 12 " screen and light under steering column all started to flicker

Looks like it but it just started doing it out of now where mid way during my drive and never when away until i turn off the truck.Looks like the dimmer for the dash
Was thinking maybe the potentiometer wheel for the dimmer is going bad.Looks like it but it just started doing it out of now where mid way during my drive and never when away until i turn off the truck.
No flickering today.
could just need some working to clean any thing that might be on the rheostatWas thinking maybe the potentiometer wheel for the dimmer is going bad.
