Mine kind of pissed me off coming home from work today. So, I swore out loud at it. LOL
I went to clean the windshield, but only washer fluid came out of the driver's side. Really pissed me off. Maybe because it is cold out? But, I would assume the heat from the engine bay would have heated the hose so it could pass? Anyways,.... the other little issue I had a while back, when it was also cold out again, I tried to use my power mirror button and only the driver's side worked. It's all better now, it was a while ago and when it was cold out as well. Same side of the truck. (I repeat, the passenger side mirror does work well now. It was one day when this happened in the cold.)
I'm starting to really dislike the MDS system as well. I know it can be disabled at every start up, but I wouldn't mind the MDS system if it was loud and sounded like ****. lol

We'll see. I love my truck, but these little "issues" really bother me. Thanks for letting me vent.

Well guys, I went to get my yearly inspection sticker this morning and the washer fluid is now flowing out of that nozzle no problem. It was probably, frozen. That's all I can think of. I'm just happy it's working again!

I bought my tuck in Chicago with 30k miles but it came from Canada so no one in the USA will honor the Canadian warranty. I knew it beforehand I just think it's complete BS on Fiats part. I'm surprised it can use USA fuel instead of Canadian petrol, I was so happy when it drove off the first time I filled it up.

Other than the warranty issue, I love my Ram. I have noticed no Candian Trojan Horses or any other suspicious activities

A list of what I do like would’ve been shorter.

I don’t like:

That the doors squeak and groan no matter how many times I grease them.
The leaking brake light, and the stained headliner that came with it.
That no hot air comes out of the drivers side vents.
The occasional fast blinker when no lights are out.
The airbag light that likes to randomly appear to drive me crazy.
The fact that every time I stop it sounds like somebody threw an extension ladder off a roof.
The impossible to use CD player under the seat.
The dash board draw that rattles uncontrollably when open.
The side step that broke because I stepped on it.
The fact that all these problems exist on a well cared for 40,000 mike truck.
The fact that my jeep will soon be bunk mates with a Chevy.

I like:

The hemi
The style.
That’s all I got.

You're lucky Canadian fuel has extra additives like maple syrup and polar bear ****, usually Canadian vehicles don't run without it.

Rofl. Same octane fuel up here as down there 87 to 94 at the gas stations. A lot of it comes from the US. We Canadians don't use Trojan Horses any more Trojan. They're too easy to spot with the mounties on top and we can't hide inside because as everyone knows Canadians are afraid of the dark.

Its hard for me to believe that you are truly a Canadian when you didn't apologize once in that paragraph.



Lol I know most of our fuel comes from our Northern Brothern. I can't for the life of me wrap my head around why the warranty is void.

Sorry about that. Drank a few too many molsons and lost my manners. My pet moose seems disappointed in me. It's just FCA using legal loopholes to avoid fixing their stuff as far as I can tell. I know from experience if it had Canadian plates on it they'd fix it down there.

I lucked out. Mine was also from Canada, but because it was a fleet vehicle from Enterprise I was able to transfer the warranty. It is a 2016 and had only 16k when I bought it in June.

Yep. My local dealer told me that it was the fact it was sold to Enterprise (assembled in Detroit) and already had the miles instead of km pre-programmed in. Good luck and enjoy it!

My gripe list at 6 weeks/1300 miles:

1) If you insist on using a rotary knob for the shifter put it somewhere to the left of the steering wheel so I do not find it every time I am searching for the volume knob or blower speed.

2) The sound quality of the "Alpine" radio sucks and cannot be improved much by a speaker upgrade.

3) Most aggravating because it is most frequently encountered: When using cruise control and approaching "Reduce speed ahead" I hit the cruise cancel button, allow the truck to drift down to the new speed and hit the set button when the digital readout indicates the new speed. Instead, I am looking at "Cruise control ready" displayed in the cluster instead of my speed. The analog speedometer only tells you that you are traveling somewhere between 40 and 50 or 50 and 60. The police radar around here is much more precise than that. Better yet, why not just do what Honda did on my wife's Odyssey and leave the CC in the ready state unless you turn it off? Just hit set when you get the speed right.
