Consumer Description

I STARTED MY 2018 RAM 2500 IN THE EARLY MORNING AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP IN MY MESSAGE CENTER ( SERVICE 4X4 SYSTEM) . USUALLY IT WOULD NOT BE A BIG DEAL BECAUSE YOU SHOULD SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE TO KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE , BUT I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK 10 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS 5000 MILES ON IT. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM, 4X4 WILL NOT ENGAGE IN THE MEAN TIME.
