NHTSA Complaint #11024132 — 2015 RAM 1500

MY RADIO SCREEN WENT BLACK WHERE YOU COULD SEE NOTHING ON IT NO MATTER WHAT CONTROLLERS YOU TRIED TO SWITCH. THIS HAPPENED ALMOST ON EVERY TRIP. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT ON WAS TO PULL OVER AND LET THE VEHICLE STAND FOR A LITTLE BIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN, THEN IT WOULD TURN BACK ON. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE RADIO SECURITY RECALL. GOT THE RADIO SOFTWARE UPDATED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. THE RADIO SCREEN LIGHT STARTED DIMMING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THEN GETTING BRIGHTER. OFF AND ON, NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY AND HOW DARK OR BRIGHT IT IS OUTSIDE. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY TOLD ME IT DOES THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS. WONDER WHY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THE RENTAL TRUCK THAT THEY HAD ME DRIVE WHILE MY TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP?? ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON FOR A FULL DAY. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT GET ANY SIGNAL OR A MALFUNCTION CODE. AT THE END OF THE DAY IN TURNED OFF.
