Business ProfileforEarnhardt Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram

I purchased a 2021 Ram 1500 from this dealership in Nov 2021. It has about ****** miles on it and is still under warranty. On 05/14/2024 I parked a a local ******* and when I came back out the battery was completely dead. Their auto service **** checked my battery with an analyzer and determined that it was completely dead and had to be replaced. As the dealership is ***************************************************************************************************************** traffic so I elected to have ******* replace it. As soon as I restarted the truck every warning light on the dash lit up. I called the dealership and they told me it probably just needed to have the system reset which was a simple matter and could be done quickly. She noted that the truck was still under warranty. I drove it to the dealership immediately and was told there was a $200 dollar diagnostic fee if its determined the problem isnt under warranty. I agreed as I knew the trucks warranty was still in effect. After they checked it out they told me that the new trucks and cars have to have the entire system completely recalibrated anytime the battery goes dead, is disconnected or replaced and that it would have to be done even if THEY replaced the battery. They stated that was a vehicle design issue. They claimed that had I not replaced the battery yet, the recalibration or diagnostic cost would be covered by the batterys warranty but since I had already replaced it I would have to pay the fee to get it recalibrated. Since the dealership stated that the problem lies with a design issue of the vehicle not the battery, the fees should be covered by the vehicles factory warranty and not dependent on the batterys warranty. They required that I pay the $200 fee.
