4300 miles - So many issues

[JPreston]

Check engine light and low oil light - Was told it was software and dealer cleared them
Infotainment screen rattles - Dealer shoved foam on the exterior of the dashboard which did not help
Door panels all rattle - Dealer put foam in the panels
Ventilated seat broke - Waiting for parts
Low oil message continuing to show even after software update - Dealer said "Don't know what to tell you"
Memory seat does not remember
Audio settings will not save

Anyone else have any of these issues? I have had the car for two three months and I am ready to be done with it.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear of all your issues. What model did you buy and I take it you bough of the lot. Hope you can get your issues resolved as these are some new ones that I have not heard of. Later RJD

Hi and thank you. I have 2026 Scat Pack Plus. Purchased it new.

I have not. Sounds like you got a rough one
Dealer should check if there's a software update to fix the memory issues. If they already did, then you may have a faulty computer in the car

Sounds rough, probably reach out to @DodgeCares

I have had the too much oil warning and a oil light come on 2 times and clear about a minute after it warms up. Got 1 oil change so far to clear the shavings at 1500 miles. And I do hear a rattle at the screen area but I know these cars are not built that well so I crank the music and i drown it out. Sorry that your dealing with alot. ( I have a check engine light on and I know its due to the software needing to be updated)

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear your having such a bad time. My dash screen rattles now, probably started around 6k miles. I have not had any oil lights though. I did however have my transmission blow after five days of ownership. So I get it. I sincerely hope the dealership gets your issues fixed. I still love this car even after all of its flaws.

Check your state's Lemon Law and keep a record of every issue and every return to the dealer and the results of the return to the dealer. This is not like the old days where if a manufacturer sold you a crap car there was nothing you could do about it.

Best of luck.

Just remember it has to be a safety defect or a return for the same issue at 4 times. I had this happen on a 2011 Dodge Dakota that had a issue that they could not originally resole and we sent in the paper work under the lemon law and it was accepted but in the mean time Dodge chose to send a team out from Detroit and where given 5 days to correct the issue. Well guess what they finally found the problem and fixed. I have not looked at the manual but back then they had a page that told you how to proceed on the issue. I hope they can resolve the issues for JPreston . Later RJD

I’ve heard that it’s common to get extra oil put in since it’s not an even amount? Even though it’s slightly over full it registers as low since it’s basically just an error code. Bummer you can’t check the oil. Dumb move in my opinion.

I'm right around 3k miles and now my memory seats no longer have any memory. I also starting to hear the rattle around the screen. Also Android auto is finicky at best.

I also cannot put my car into RWD. When i try, the first attempt it will always throw a CEL. Then if I restart the car it will go into RWD but that won't clear the CEL until I go to the dealership. This has happened multiple times. I'm currently driving with the CEL light on since I tried RWD yesterday. Almost time for a oil change so since its not limp mode I'll have them address it then.

Your oil life is almost at zero after only 3K miles?

where is it mentioned he has 0 oil life? I have 1200 miles on mine and still have 82% left. Later RJD

[aceinspp70]

Only 3000 miles not due yet. He mostly does not have %. Later RJD

Idk where the % is at I havent scrolled through to find it yet. Just assumed it'll probably be close in the next 1000k miles or so which will be within the next 4-5 weeks.

But my CEL just cleared itself, im sure only until I try to put it in RWD again.

I'll try that today then.

Just for the record, regardless of what the car's oil life says, the car requires synthetic oil, which should be changed around 5000 miles. I believe it also states this in the manual. Better to go by that rather than the indicator, unless your car sits a lot without driving.

From the manual.......MAINTENANCE PLAN At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System● Change the oil and filter.......... Have a link for your info?
