2020 Ram Laramie 1500 5.7
53k miles
My truck has been in the shop for over a month with an electrical issue. The speedometer and the screen intermittently light up until the battery is completely dead.
BCM has been replaced. The truck is completely torn apart, front end, dash, door panels, etc. They found if the module underneath the passenger seat is unplugged, the issue goes away. They replaced that harness and module, problem still persists.
Tech says they are back and forth with the corporate engineers.
I explain to the tech today that it’s getting hard to be with one vehicle. He says” well, have you considered trading it in?”
I am so tired of being in this “just get rid of it” situation or being at the dealers mercy because “moms and pops” can’t do the programming etc. So is this where we really are? Force me into a new truck and let the financial problem be mine?
Truck is close to being paid off and has a 2.49% interest rate. I also only paid $48,500 For the truck. Not going to find that now!
Shouldn’t there be an incentive for admitting you can’t fix the truck and we need to get you in a new one?
Hoping Ram Cares chimes in..
Thank you for reading my rant, anyone have any wisdom or thoughts to share?
