So my 2013 is back at the dealer again for:

All Climate controls would occasionally lock up and were not functioning. I had to pull over and shut my truck off for a couple of minutes to get it to work.

Also my SD Card port would lock up and become unusable... Again pull over or shut truck off for a minute or so to get it to work.

Memory error keeps popping up on EVIC. (literally 200 times on my 600 mile trip).

I had it in 2 weeks ago for this stuff and all 3 problems happened before I even got on the highway from the dealer (less than a mile).

I brought it in yesterday again, and got a call today stating I should have waited to bring it in the first time. I guess a couple of days later 3 seperate days RAM release 3 seperate service bulletins that are suppose to fix all these issues!

I am crossing my fingers they work! If not dealer has 1 more shot before it's a lemon!

That sucks to hear. I hope they get everything squared away for you. Did they say anything about it effecting all the 2013's?

First year for all the new updates. I'm sure they will get it all worked out.

You 2013 guys like the 2009 guys (myself included) are test owners. With change comes a little growing pains. Glad to see they have solutions for you.

Check the fuse box, there are a couple fuses that the dealer installs upon delivery.
I'm not sure if there are any similarities, but on my 2011 Durango one of those fuses had a white plastic retainer around it that made it not seat easily. My 730N would randomly reset or shut off. A firm push on the fuse through the retainer seated the fuse and I've had no problems since. When my Ram arrives this will be one of the areas I check on my walk-around.

Just got back from the dealership, they performed two flash module updates. One for the "memory unavailable vehicle not in park" message (TSB 08-027-13), Flash MSN Module 18194793. The other was a general software update that is supposed to correct some issues including ambient temp being off. I was nervous about this one as I had read other on here had serious problems with software updates, but so far so good. This one was rapid response flash module 181929M. Everything seems to be working better now, but haven't been in her longer then about 10 mi so we will see...

My truck is now problem free! The latest bulletins fixed that annoying memory seat error as well as fixed my lockups of me uconnect screen. Seems like the outdoor temp sensor is reading good as well. If anyone is having these issues it is worth getting them done as it does fix the problem!

My 2013 Ram 1500 was having some issues with the climate control as well which usually occurred in the mid range area of the temperature selector. When it was cold, I was fine and all of sudden, my legs would start to get cold but as far as I could see, it only lasted a few minutes or until I changed the temperature setting. The dealership did tell me there was a software upgrade for this but my truck has a list of software problems. Some have software upgrade to correct the problem and some don't. They told me a whistling noise in any gear at about 1100 or 1200 RPM was normal. My truck has a 4.7 litre engine but right now, I have a 5.7 HEMI loaner and it does the same thing. Both have the 6 speed transmission. COINCIDENCE or a inherent problem. I haven't posted anything about this whistling noise on the general discussion page. Should I?

2013 dodge ram big horn hemi with 8 speed transmission. After 4 trips to dealer they finally replaced my navigation. It would reboot while driving down the road. Would do it a couple of time in a row. Pain in the ***.

Also, anyone having shifting issues with their hemi 8 speed transmission?

Had my truck in today and they did the N37 Recall as well as a Rapid Response Update.
Number on the paperwork is 13-050 I searched but can't find anything.
Any ideas?
