Randomly loses satellite signal then a few times nav was going crazy had me jumping in 1/4 mile off the highway erratically.

I have had an 11 1500 (i know it was a different system) and a 14 2500 8.4N and I never had an issue. I know the antenna placement was totally different on the 14. The nav issue happened I-10 on flat ground. The satellite issue is random but also on flat ground.

I wanted to update this. I brought my truck in this morning and I only have 500 miles left on my 36k warranty. Honestly, this issue was an after thought. But I was in there and brought it up. They told me the radio threw a code and needs to be replaced. Any one heard of this before?

I have, my sister's grand cherokee did the same thing and the dealer advised her with the same advice. She did not have a problem after that

I had the issue. My 911 light would come on and the time would be off and my nav was off by a mile. Got a new radio out of it.

Awesome that it was caught before your warranty was up.
