2019 Limited 1500 with 5.7 hemi 42k. Morning wake up, dead battery. Jumped it later in the day and was greeted with several error messages and tranny stuck in 1rst gear. Made a few calls and read forum, seems 4 years on these stock batts are not uncommon. Unknown why bat was drained down, I supposed it is possible I had a door ajar and cabin light did it in.
Let it sit for a while and restart with no jump, error messages cleared and tranny running fine. Mech said it was in limp mode (1rst gear) and he could clear any remaining codes, brought him a new larger NAPA battery to swap out and it fit fine. Checked for codes (none) and no issues since. Scary sitrep for a truck I have had only 3 months.
I have read that some folks are having to soft reboot the uconnect, but so far my system seems fine, climate controls where a bit funky at first but seem to have calmed down.
