This is crazy.
I can relate and I have not got the option of going to the dealer...nor do I want it right now. They canned my warranty because I exported to Canada...oh well. A friend at the local dealer cleared the 6 codes I keep getting and within a mile the engine light returned and all six codes are back.
Its all related to cold engine, cold exhaust and the regen. Not gonna worry bout it anymore...its not indicating anything mechanical so I am going to put a piece of black tape over the engine light.
Frustrating, I know but so is going back and forth to the dealer...Been there and done that too many times in the past.

Sounds like someone is not driving it far enough after the supposed repair. Very possible it could be a broken wire in the harness causing the intermittent problem. It can be fixed it is just going to take patience on everyone's part.

Got the truck back today. Drove it for a while with no warning lights. The service manager showed me where they added 5000 miles to my basic 3/36. I thought that was pretty cool, essentially just starting the warranty as if I bought it today. He mentioned that if it comes back in with a cel or mil that they wil double my basic warranty to 6/72. I'm very happy with my dealer...right now.

Glad you got everything worked out. That is an awesome truck that you have, but as with any new vehicle, the little bugs have to be ironed out. Every new vehicle that I have ever bought in my life has been like that also..I spent alot of time at the dealership with each one of them for the first 6 months or so, but after that everything is usually worked out. Good luck with your new truck and like I said before, I think it is pretty awesome!

I have had the same problems you are having. My truck has been back to dealers for various codes 11 times. Took the matter up with Dodge Customer Assistance Center(=CAC). CAC is a misnomerfor sure. They wont give a definitic=ve answer to the simplest of questions. They created smoke and mirrors foe weeks. I tired of the game and hired a Lemon Law attorney. The suit will be filed next week. I recommend you check the Lemon Law statutes in NM. It sounds to me like you trips back to the dealer for the same "non-conformity" will qualify you for a replacement vehicle or a buyback.
All you have to do is Google--Lemon Law Attorney+ New Mexico. You will find firms that, believe it or not, specialize in Lemon Law suits. Normally, you will pay no attorney fees. If they win the lawsuit, Chrysler has to cough up. If they lose, you pay nothing. Obviously, they wont take your case if they feel they will lose.
I wish you good luck.
