Hello everyone!
I'm new to the site and was hoping to get some support. I just traded my 2019 Laramie sport in a week ago for a new 2024 Limited 1500. MSRP of $89,000. Less than 7 days of owning and only 200 miles put on it the truck completely failed. I was driving my daughter, who is only 7 months home from daycare when the truck downshifted and engine light came on. Contact dealer and scheduled appointment for next day, Saturday 4/30. It's an hour an half drive to dealer. Roughly 30 minutes into the drive the battery kept going on and off. I monitored the battery voltage and it kept decreasing. About 3/4 of the way there in the middle of farmland and steep bluffs, the truck completely failed. Everything shut down, including the power steering and brake system. If I was going around a bend and this happened I'd likely be dead today. As there are numerous steep drop-offs where I live.
Has anyone experienced this with a new 2024 with this low of mileage? I don't feel this vehicle is safe to be driven on the road for myself or anyone on the road as it failed brand new. Especially with a 7 month old in the vehicle. Luckily it was just me this weekend and luckily I was almost to a small town with no bends.
Any help is much appreciated.
