uConnect error ALMOST went AWAY

I tried all of the "fixes" power reset, factory reset, RAM cares, dealer evaluation with reset and/or tinkering (3X) with shark fin being replaced on the first time into the dealer, checking for correct system information and registration and especially cussing at the damn thing, nothing was very permanent, or at least lasted more than two days. Looked for fixes with the uConnect system on the Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge forum since I found the uConnect error prevalent with all these different vehicles. Looked for "fixes" on older systems because the error message was on many of all these vehicles, years, and various uConnect systems. Even found that one Government web site mentioned this issue not being resolved by any of these manufacturers, and the fact that they have started to monitor this problem for a possible class action lawsuit that might occur, but they did not mention who is the manufacturer of the actual system software.

NOTHING BUT NOTHING

Then, went on a 3 1/2 hour trip, all with strong cell and satellite signal, turned the truck back on the next day and no error popped up!!!! Felt I should have bought a lottery ticket, but after several on-off cycles and 5 days the error message has not come back!!!!
I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best, because it is obvious that who ever actually programed the uConnect system is inept at changing the software to accommodate what ever it is trying to update, register or connect in a manner that doesn't create such a common problem.

Love the truck, but the uConnect system is going to bring the whole mess down if these manufacturers don't start getting better programmers that can make this problem to not be so prevalent for what ever reason!

Two more days and three more power cycles and I'm still free of the dreaded (uConnect - see your dealer error message).... HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!
 
IT’s BACK :mad:
Went up Spencer Canyon and there was a clean satellite signal but no cell phone service. Driving back down the mountain I got both red lights lit again and the infamous error message pops up and now each time I turn on the ignition I have to cancel the error message. I do so hope Ram can figure this out and actually fix the issue. Nine days of the damn thing working is the new record and is really not acceptable.
 
Did a power on reset and it worked, error message and red lights are gone…I hope this lasts until I am in the back woods again with no cell reception.
 

I had a great experience with UConnect 5 as well...
 
Well it lasted almost one full day! This time I was always in cell signal range. Going back to the dealer again, and again. Maybe third times a charm. Can this be called a significant failure so the lemon law can come into effect?
 
I just picked up the truck this Friday morning and the repair was to reseat a loose connector. I have had 5 restarts and I am happy to say all systems are go! Haven’t taken it out in back country yet - where most of the reoccurrences happened, but with the connector found loose I hope this fixes the problem for good.
Please wish me luck… I do love this truck and want it to work.
