Limp mode?

Okay guys who has dealt with this in their R/T plus? Or in general? Just drove 2 hours for work then 2 hours back. Broke down like an hour into my two hour ride home. Had to get towed to nearest dealer since it was closer than my dealer. It’s under warranty I’ve only had it about a month and a half.

Is this a good deal? I hear horrible things about this car but the discount seems pretty insane for a new car

I live in vancouver and the price is in CAD

First oil change.

One of the easiest vehicles to get to once you remove the 10m bolts (4) on skid plate and t25 torx bits on side of wheels (3 each side).

3/8 12v extended ratchet sped up the time.

Went with K&n over Mopar so it'll be easier to twist off next time.

Assuming when I bought it that dealership did oil change based off uconnect5. Still seemed after driving 5k miles, oil was black.

Used scan tool to reset uconnect5 and hornet is back up and running. No dealer needed. All in about 45 bucks and hour of my time.

2024 hornet Rt Battery

My battery under the hood died and the dealership is charging $750 for replacement. Did anyone else have to do this. Is this a fair price? Do you have to go to the dealership for replacement?

Random alert sound

Every now and then, I get a random alert sound and I’m not sure what it’s trying to tell me to be cautious about—it’s driving me crazy though. I thought it was for motorcycles, then thought it was for emergency vehicles. I even thought it was telling me to watch my speed, but then it doesn’t do it when I’m going over and the red outline is on the speed limit icon.

It’s like a playful 3-5 dings. And always when I’m driving over 50mph.

Can anyone confirm what it might be?

How to reset oil / Maintenance screen with scanner

I have finally figured out how to reset the uconnect5 screen under car settings that shows maintenance / oil life.

I'm using a kingbolen k10 pro scanner with FCA Authorization.

Once you scan the vehicle and login to FCA Auth.

You will will. Look at system scan, then IPC (instrument panel cluster).

Then go to special functions. Then reset service information.

Boom shaka laka. No dealer needed or witch 2.0

I feel like I'm going crazy, here (No 12v port)

I feel like I'm going crazy, here

I recently bought a '25 RT Plus and I cannot, for the life of me, find a 12v charging port in the front of the car. I've checked under climate control (above the charging pad), to the side, in the center console, and everywhere else I can think of.

Do I really not have one?

Hornet screen

I pressed something or did some type of motion and it made my screen be just a clock with a generic background but then I clicked off it, how did I do that it was kind of nice for short drives?

Is it worth it?

Hi everyone! I’m curious if a Dodge Hornet is actually worth the money. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about them online, but my aunt is on her second one (she wrecked the first lol) and she’s never really had issues besides recalls and a few electrical problems.
The main reason I’m considering one is because I found what seems like an amazing deal, but prove me otherwise if I’m making a mistake 🤣 TIA!

How and why am I getting this screen?

(Please forgive the dusty screen!) ‘24 GT with 11k miles. Today it started displaying this screen after turning the car off with Sport mode engaged. Began intermittently this morning but now seems to be consistent. Doesn’t seem to do it when not in Sport mode, and nothing else seems out of sorts. I’m assuming this is simply some part of Dodge’s half-baked infotainment programming rising to the surface, but I’m curious if anybody else has had this happening, and what comes next??

For the record, we bought this car new on the lot one year ago, and we absolutely love it. We’re not kidding ourselves on the long term reliability prospects, but we had been looking at these since the first promo materials dropped four years ago and we got a smoking deal on this one with the options my wife needed, since this is primarily her car. Not trying to turn this into a “bash on Dodge” session because we truly have very few, minimal complaints so far.

Headlights gap

Hi, so I have a quick question. I bought my Hornet RT Track Pack a month ago, and I'm just noticing there are gaps in the headlight and the bumper. Like you can see the clips sticking out i dont know if its normal or if there’s something misaligned with my car. Any information would be appreciated. Im taking it in at the dealership for a infotainment recall so idk if i should tell the dealership about it.
