First off, I love my truck. However, here is a list of the things I've found to be defective in my new 1500. Hopefully I don't seem too whiny but I just want stuff to work right and if anyone has experience with the fixes it would be nice to know so I can point the dealer service dept in the right direction to sort this stuff out for me.
1- The Digital Speedometer display has a glitch to it when accelerating or decelerating.
The dealer agreed that it wasn't right and had never seen the problem before. they ordered a new Instrument Cluster. My appointment is this Friday.
2- The EVIC does not accept changes for the accessory time off delay, it always reverts to 45 seconds.
The dealer said Chrysler was aware of the issue but does not have a fix.
3- The EVIC does not display the time or radio info if I select it in the menu.
I haven't talked to the dealer about it yet.
4- The EVIC does not stay on the screens that I select from one time driving to the next. Example is if I select to display any of the gauges like oil temperatures, it reverts to the tire pressures the next time I turn it on.
I haven't talked to the dealer about it yet.
5- The SXM radio does not work when it's cold. If I keep my truck in the garage it works find in the mornings. However, if it has sat outside and the temperature is in the 50's or below it can't acquire a signal until it gets warm. It takes a lot longer than my commute to warm it enough to work which makes it worthless.
This can't be normal but I haven't talked to the dealer about it yet.
It seems that everything is tied to the EVIC and/or radio.
