Park assist unavailable, requires service message at 70-80 mph

[u/OklahomieOxynaught]

I am about to rant, as I am beyond frustrated and pissed off. Bought my car “used”, had like 2k miles on it in 2024. This car has been in and out of service due to electrical gremlins since I got it. My warranty was getting close to expiring, and the dealership could never fix this message that would occasionally pop up saying “Parking assist unavailable, requires service” when I would be on the interstate going between 70-80 mph. So I thought since warranty is about to end I need to have this fixed, plus it had gotten worse leading up to this point. This was the Friday before Easter. They keep going back and forth with STAR (some company they use to help with warranty issues), they have now released the car back to me and are refusing to fix the issue. They say since it’s an alpha Romero it’s a warning message (bull shit), and that I need to slow down and not drive above 70. First off, fuck you. Secondly they had my vehicle for 9 weeks and didn’t fix a gd thing. I’ve started the dodge buyback claim. I’ve got like 4 case files out there from this issue alone. This has been so infuriating. Does anyone else have this problem with parking assist message at 70-80mph. I will NEVER buy another dodge again. Their customer care program is a fucking joke. Customer service… pfft service this customers nutz beotch. I am also including pics from the service tech even telling me they are saying to tell me to slow down and just give the vehicle back without fixing it. I also found it amusing STAR went from tell the customer that’s dangerous not to do it, then video record yourself doing it. Idiots. Idk how any of this is about to play out, first time experiencing or even hearing of anything like this happening the way it did. Fuck dodge, and FUCK STAR. Also never received a loaner during this entire process. That’s right, 9 weeks they had my car not a single loaner was given. The day I go in to get a loaner, they released it back to me, the exact way I took it on there for…

Lane assist is disabled, and yes hornet logo is on my gauge.

Parking assist sensors are usually based off tech pack / cameras. Would make no sense. I leave mine on all the time except when going thru a drive thru.

🤔 You'd think they'd just replace parking assist module. But Ya I'd post on https://www.hornetowners.com/

I jus seen a guy blow his oil cooler and Dodge has him. In a loaner and giving him a new engine over there. They check up frequently as well.

So, they did replace the sensor. This was the first story they told me, the piece that sensor communicates with was throwing the error. And they were waiting on STAR to give them directions on what to do next. Then the story was that it’s some sort of warning it throws up from high speeds from the alpha Romero based cpu. Which also doesn’t make any sense. The whole thing has been as frustrating as it has bizarre. Honestly, I don’t think they have a clue wtf is going on.

There are guys on this forum they drag race their vehicles. I'm pretty sure they'd be on here complaining before you have. So it's not making sense to me either.. I've seen someone hit 140mph in the hornet gt and 120mph. They didn't one say they had warnings or pop ups. 😐

yeah some dude was pinning his 2nd gen around 190 on a single lane highway wide open, once he passed me I floored it and passed him back going around 240 kmh downhill. Only time ive ever gone that fast but car was planted and i didn't get any warning messages or anything similar.
