long story short, the truck has never locked in any form, but the alarm will go off when a doors are opened. Currently in shop.
purchased new. When I was looking at it before I bought it I was inside with the doors closed and pressed the lock button and nothing happened. The light did not illuminate on the button. I thought nothing of it. Purchased, took home, and after I locked it from the key fob (horn honks and lights flash) my fiancé opens the passenger door, it’s unlocked and the alarm goes off. I mess around with it and 3 non driver doors cause the alarm to go off. The driver gives you some time to put the key in and start it due to the proximity key (not lariat push start). I still thought I had to be doing something wrong, and assume walking away with the key fob legitimately locked It. 800 miles in and I had to go go to the dealership due to my extended warranty not showing up in the app. The solution to that was the manager didn’t submit it… but anyway I asked for them to show me how to lock the truck. They laughed and came out. Then they were dumbfounded. They have never seen the issue. They also incorrectly said it was not a proximity key. So I went to the service department. They have never seen this before either. They initially blame “after market parts” and point out my light bar. I unplug it from the battery and show the truck still does not lock. After some waiting then finally getting a dealer provided rental, they tell me they believe the issue is caused by only the drivers door latch. Part ordered and will arrive Monday. Still in rental.
I’ve had two vehicles from mopar that were lemons previously. I sewed fca and won. My states law says that a dealership has 4 chances to fix an issue, and it may not take longer than 30 days. This is attempt one.
