I feel your pain man!!!

I had mine for 3 days and it up and quit on me. Would not re-start. Gear display read a continuous 4 with shifter in "Drive". Gear indicator displayed a red "R" with shifter in any position. MIL (Check Engine) Check engine light on.

Spit out 6 transmission codes.

They Said they have to check the piston and Cylinder again, That means Remove top of engine cover again for the 4th time, That means its going for 3 weeks in the shop. ..I do not want that truck back, going to get a lawyer involved know..Its a Lemon and Bad Service

UPDATE:

Dealer picked up my truck at home and requested 24 hours to resolve the issue. After 23 hours dealer called and advised that there were some issues that would require more time.

I (very diplomatically) requested a different truck. 6 hours later a new truck just like the first one was delivered to my door.

I've had good customer experiences with my three former Dodge dealers but this was way beyond what I expected.

Well They are Replacing Cylinder 5,7 with New Heads, Pistons, Springs, and Two New Valves. Day 28 of service, This Truck only 5 months old is not the same know and more likely what they are repairing is not going to fix the problem, Stupid Dodge and Dealership,. They should have game me a new truck before New Years,
