No issues and all is working perfectly

None of the CEl or other “common” forum complaints?

Correct, none of the 'common' complaints. It's almost as if the number of complaints on forums is bias by the fact people come here to complain about the truck.

Well, my 2011 never had a problem. All that was done were oil change's, Inspection and I changed the brakes. I did a favor for the guy I sold it to. Because I felt the rears were getting low, I gave him a vehicle with 26,000 miles on it. They were Power Stop brakes with drilled and slotted rotors, and red powder coated calipers.
Then this 2020 Bighorn/Longhorn was treating me good with less than 8K on it when I got it. Then the problems started at 12,500 miles. So I shouldn’t complain about the problems. Especially when it is almost a $3K radio problem? I didn’t join this forum to complain but look for answers on my problem. You say people come here to complain. Well, the people I talk to who have Rams about my problem in the Stop and Shop and CVS parking lot. Also have told me horror stories. Some with 2023-2024 trucks and they aren’t the ones on forums complaining. When I come upon 5-7 people in 2 months that have had major electrical problems. Lucky they are still under warranty. So, you don't see them complaining cause the money isn't coming out of their pockets yet. Yesterday I talked to a guy who was having his 2024 jumped for the 3rd time by a Walmart.
My neighbor’s daughter just bought her first vehicle. She got a 2024 Jeep Wrangler about 8 months ago. 4th day hood up and AAA jumping her. Then it was flat bedded from her job. She has it in the shop more than she drives it. I told her parents that it is time to check into the lemon law. So, it isn't only Rams with these electrical problems, Sirius radios, or U connect problems. Or batteries going dead 2 days after a vehicle is bought. I will say so far no one I spoke to has had a driveline or engine problem. Mostly the problems in that area are related to the stop and start feature. They hate it and wish they never bought a new vehicle.
Please don’t take my rant personally. I wish anyone who spends hard earned money on a vehicle. Nothing but 200-300,000 miles of no major problems. But has a mechanic and a certified Journeyman then an ASE certified mechanic. Not saying I am a better mechanic than someone who didn’t get certifications or works has an apprentice to become certified. I am now lost without a $50-100K machine to tell me what’s wrong in these modern times. But I am beside myself on the number of problems with every single car company. I am not saying in the 60’s and 70’s when I started working for Pontiac. Then other dealers, that there were no problems. I was going to Tarrytown to classes for fixing problems on new vehicles. But the amount across companies and models were never this abundant.

If that were true, this would have happened months ago when I first started saying the vehicle is fine.

I have a 2021 Wrangler with almost 90K on it, never had a single issue. As for cars across all areas having more issues now, of course, they are far more complicated. Far more are fine than are problems and people need to realize that misery loves company.

Sometimes it’s a delayed jinx.
