Mine does this a little too. Many blame the stock Goodyear tires and claim it disappears when you replace them.

Get a double stabilizer bar and that should fix the death rattle.

My outside temp display is never accirate, annoys the he'll out of me
Mine usually shows warmer than it is so it makes me wonder where the sensor is located. Usually out by 3 or 4 degrees in the winter based off different outdoor thermometers I have. Still better than my 06 was. It said 22 degrees at all times. I guess it was sometimes right. Lol

Mine is usually pretty accurate. Usually!

Sometimes when it’s parked facing the sun it will have a high reading. I noticed this with remote start in 20f temps and the heated seats and steering wheel weren’t on, when I got in. The display was showing above 40f temps until I started moving.

I agree you would think you'd have the option of turning on the passenger seat heat with remote start. Between all the mud and snow I drive in and summer bugs my park sensors rarely work so if I had the option my new truck wouldn't have had them. If in a few years the bumpers get rusty i'll probably replace them with non park sensor ones and remove the system. It drives my nuts having anything not work on my truck, but it seems impossible to keep the park sensors working consistently.

Exactly why I don’t like those things either. My wife has sensors all over and it’s always sending false alarms

I don’t like how my truck won’t keep putting how air out the vents even when I don’t have the fan on. I have to leave the fan on low all the time and adjust the temp control. All my other vehicles allowed air flow through the vents with the fan off

Easy fix for this. Discontinue Sirius XM service. I would not sign up for this service if they gave it to me cost free.

It’s free for me but I do really dislike commercials.

I like getting in my truck and hearing a song instead of an ad for Durham Kia. If you haven’t heard it it’s F-Ing annoying. Also, the bang bang burrito commercial gets on my nerves

Hah! This is your lucky day. I have an even easier fix for this. Turn off the radio! I rarely turn on the radio in my truck and never in my Charger. My favorite song is "6.4 Exhaust Note." No matter how many times I play that tune, it never gets old. None of the garbage on radio today even comes close.

I hate the oil filter location on the 5.7. I guess that's supposed to be a deturant for someone changing their own oil, just take it to dealer and let them deal with the mess. Ain't gonna doit, some how some way I'll figure out how to change the filter without the mess.

You are right that the location of the filter can be messy. All that oil coming down on the steering gear is a pain to clean up. What I have learned to do is spread out a 30 gallon garbage bag flat and drape it over the steering gear and channel the bottom of the bag on the back side of the steering gear into the drain pan. When you loosen the old filter, all the oil will run down the bag and into the pan. Not a drop touches anything on the truck. Since my truck has the raised ride height option, I do not need ramps or jacks. I just slide under the truck with my tools and have at it. I can change the oil and filter in 30 minutes with no problem.

I don't like that, in cold weather, the front and rear sensors go all bonkers. I get that is probably ice somewhere in / on / around the sensor, but these things are made for being exposed to the elements. I clean off the part that I can see (which already looks clean), but it makes no difference. I've had sensors on my last 4 vehicles and NEVER had this issue unless there was a visible build up of ice or snow on the sensor.

The airflow from the rear vents is horrible! Nothing like spring or summer temps to make for a miserable passenger experience.

Per the stealership and FCA, there is “airflow”. They said to shut the front off which means I️ get less air and the back gets just a little bit more? Ugh!
