NHTSA Complaint #11700003 — 2023 RAM 1500

On approximately September 2024, after a few months of purchasing my vehicle new, the manufacturer installed battery died. This required me to jump it every time I needed to start it over the course of a week. A local dealership replaced it under warranty, though I noticed when I was driving the parasitic drain on the battery would continue. This repair was done through the Berlin City CDJR dealership located in Gorham, New Hampshire. I suspect if I drove long enough, critical systems would not function correctly while driving due to the battery dying. Today, I noticed the same issue arising. The battery died again, presumably from the same parasitic drain, and voltage was sitting around 10 amps. I would approximate that, over the past six months, the hybrid system has not been functioning as normal when I first purchased the vehicle. The trucks display notes why/when auto/start stop doesnt work. Over the past few months it displays that the battery is charging so auto/stop start is disabled, no matter how far/long I drive. It’s concerning to think what may happen if the hybrid system connected to the truck dies. The first time the regular battery died the display noted low voltage. For this most recent incident, it did not.
