I have a Brand New 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel 4x4 Off Road. Not Quite 7500 KMs on it. Started it up last week after it sat in cold temps for a week and Battery Saver Mode pops up on screen, figured it was from sitting in cold. Took it for a drive for an hour hoping to charge up batteries. Didn’t come on next day. Today while driving Front parking sensor coming on and stays on when in drive,have to manually shut it off. Truck is clean, nothing on sensors. Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated before i take it to Dealership .

 

It's under warranty, have the dealer see what is going on. You want ANY problems documented by the dealership while still under warranty......

 

 

There is nothing service writers hate more than a customer telling them how to fix the problem.

If you want to get the most from your service department..... tell the service writer exactly what the problem is, when it occurs, if it is constant, or intermittent..... and if you can produce the issue on demand. If it is an intermittent problem..... unless it is something that actually will set a code/log some info/whathaveyou, and it doesn't do it while at the dealership, they aren't going to be able to simply guess what the problem is, and throw parts at it. (though some will anyway...... or, if it is a problem that has cropped up before, and they found the fix.....) So, be prepared for that eventuality as well.......

Basically, your truck is still brand new.... so, getting documentation on any issues NOW, will only help you later, when the warranty expires, and it crops up again...... (if it does.) You can probably find a good deal of info on what various things are telling you, simply by reading thru the Owners manual. An often overlooked source.

I used to BE a service writer...... and the customers that exhibited the desired behavior generally were treated better than the folks that came in telling us how to fix/what to replace....... (and we tended to do exactly what they told us, and give their vehicles back.... and when they came back with the same problem, complaining we didn't fix it, we pointed out that we did exactly what they told us to do.......)

So, let the folks at the dealership do their jobs. Don't try and do it for them. If you have issues, update this thread with the outcome (which we would appreciate seeing, good or bad.....), and we can probably come up with some suggestions for ya.

Oh, and: Welcome to DF!

 

exactly! Describe the symptoms not what YOU think the fix is.

 

 

I wonder if the issues are in any way related to the alternator recall on some of the older vehicles? Sure sounds like it.......

Did your owners manual have any enlightenment on what the messages were about?
