Battery dead??

[SC30]

My brand new RAM 1500 (only 800 miles!) was at my aunt's for a month, and the battery was totally dead. AAA jumped it, I drove it for a bit, but then it died again as soon as I turned it off. AAA came back, but even they couldn't jump it this time.

That's a really bad sign for a brand new RAM. A dead battery after sitting is one thing but dying again so quickly and then not even jumping is a clear indication of a deeper issue. Call your dealer immediately and have them tow it in. This is a warranty problem so don't try to fix it yourself. They need to figure out what's causing the drain.

Whoa, that’s definitely a big problem! A brand-new car shouldn’t be dealing with battery issues like that, especially after only 800 miles. Definitely get it over to the dealer ASAP, they should sort it out under warranty.
