1st. PROBLEM WITH MY RT!!!
Well how do I start this? So after a weekend ride I decided to give "CASPER" a bath, when I was finished I took him for a ride to blow the water off and out. I manually hit the susp. toggle to lower the firmness since I rode it two-up with the wife and noticed that the indicator d/n change. Went back to the garage and put it in gear and applied the brake and hit the switch, nothing. So I went to the fuse box and found the appropriate fuse and changed it, nothing. OHM checked the relay and found it had only 12-15 ohms of resistance which I d/n feel was excessive. Soooo I called the dealer. Took said machine in for the issue and they put it on B.U.D.S and they told me I had 33 codes (28 active & 5 inactive). They were able to clear the inactive codes but could not clear the active ones. The fix was to replace the ECM and the VCM due to the fact they were not "communicating" with each other. Parts cost is $530. and $918.00 plus 7.5 hrs. of labor ($757.00). Now riddle me this batmen, I have almost 17,000 miles on this machine and have had 0 issues, no blinking lights, no weird sounds, no drivability issues (MPG has improved also), no "LIMP HOME" modes, "NANNY" kicks in when I get a little HOT in a corner or two, Machine runs great, lights work, no issues pulling trailer, all works as advertised. Wouldn't you think if I have 2 computers not able to "talk" to each other, the machine wouldn't even start! Much less go on a 5000 mile trip with not even a hiccup. Oh and when they brought the machine back out to me the ACS was working as advertised. And they did nothing more than hook it up to their laptop!!!!! I think CASPER (wife named it) has a real ghost located within. List of codes are as follows: c006c,c0061,c0062,u0100,u0122,u0128,u0259. That's my story and I guess I'll stick with it. Just was wondering if any of you have had this problem(s)? I guess I'll just ride it until it leaves us on the side of the road somewhere then I'll set it on fire to keep me and the wife warm if we spend the night in the desert some place, I guess once were warm I could also cook a rattler or two before the fire burns out!!!:D (P.S. B.E.S.T. warranty ran out on Jan 1st. of this year).
FIRST PROBLEM IS NON EXISTANT!!
Well it's been awhile and figured I would post my end of season results. Put another 3,000+ miles on the machine and have had absolutely no issues with it. I got a 2nd opinion from the dealer we bought it from and the tech. flashed the trans. and motor updates, checked for codes, which there were none, buttoned it back up and sent me on my way. Tech told me that the other dealer must have wanted me to buy a new ride because he could not find any issues with this one. So like I said in my original post, I'll just ride it!!:thumbup:
Simmilar situation..........
My wife's Jeep's charging system quit charging. Took it to the dealer. They said bad ECM and replaced it to the tune of $3.500. Of course they had also charged up the battery. Almost got home and the headlights started to go dim. I charged the battery back up and took it to another repair shop. Problem was a disintegrated plastic wire connector on the back of the alternator. My wife, to say the very least, was HOTER THAN A PISTOL about the matter. She went back to the dealer and raised such WHOLLY HELL that they refunded her $3,000. I asked her where was the other $500? She said it was complicated and didn't want to stay there any longer to wrangle the rest out of manager. Yes, second opinions are well advised.
