My 2014 RTL coded on me Sunday after I washed it. DESS Amber Key Failure Notice. Would not start regardless of what I did. Tried both keys and moving it around and everything else I could think of. Pushed it into the garage and the next morning it started up and I immediately took it to the dealer. They said that they have experienced other 2014's that they had replace the ignition switches on and in fact one was sitting in front of mine to have the same thing done to it. The replaced the ignition switch the very next day (knowing I was going on vacation with the Spyder on Friday) and everything seems to be working again. I've read a bit about the DESS module needing changed out also but they stated that it was a switch problem and not the DESS module. Hoping this is correct and that the problem is fixed. Headed from Southern Utah to Lake Tahoe on Friday for a week worth's of riding time. How could the switch have changed so much from one year to another as to cause problems like this. Shouldn't the dealers be calling the owners to advise them of the issue and do a recall before it causes a bigger problem. Like leaving me stranded out in the middle of the desert with no cell service and no water. Great dealership here in St. George Utah. They always go the extra mile to take care of me. This trip will put me at the 3,000 mile first service point.
