What's funny is I leave mine on 90% of the time and turn it off only when I feel like having a little fun. I wish it was like my RAM and had a light that came on when it was active.

 

When I had the flash done on my '14 GC 5.7L that was supposed to fix this, it didn't.

So you aren't alone.

 

The bizarre thing is why a few users here claimed that they were able to fix it for their 2014 models...

 

This was done on my wife's '14. ECO is now permanently off. Drives much better now.

 

Permanently off? Can never turn it back on?

 

Just got the oil changed last week and they did another couple updates. Once for the AC and one for the PCM. I'm not sure if the PCM update would fix that or not, I'll have to see.

Regardless, its been a much smoother ride and the difference between regular and eco isn't as drastic as it used to be.

 

I just had them to do an all-update on my 14 SXT and economy still defaults to on at start up.
I think this guy mixing up the on/off status.

 

It was similar to this one for the '15 WK models - http://wk2jeeps.com/tsb/tsb_wk2_0809814.pdf

 

I'll post my sheet from my last visit tomorrow. They performed 2 updates. One for the radio and one to pcm. The ECO button now has memory and stays in whatever mode you left it in. The drive is smoother in both settings. I drove it around in ECO the other day and it was just about tolerable.

 

Looking forward! But I had radio update and some other one too and nothing new so...

 

I just had all available updates performed this past Friday. They did 4. PCM update, radio/amp update for EQ issue, the one that addressed having to hit fob 4x to get hatch to open, and shift quality update. My ECO button still does not retain setting. I would love to know what was updated on your 14' to fix that.

I wish they included the TSB article number.....can u confirm the model year in your sig? A 2014 RT?

 

There wasn't a tsb for it as its just an update to the system (like the radio was). If I get a chance I'll call and see if my service advisor can pull the upgrade flash number.

And yes mine is a 2014 sxt+ with rallye package, v6 awd

 

The tsb has ** on it for the eco memory because it doesn't fix it for the 5.7L 8 spd from my understanding. I purchases a PAC unlock add on for camera installs just because it had eco memory on it. It worked like a charm until I flashed my PCM for my Whipple. Unfortunate thing is I believe the Whipple flash makes my PCM not recognizable as a 2014 so I lost the eco memory. Fortunate thing is the Whipple flash fixed the shift points so my eco mode is finally tolerable to drive. So you have two options. PAC add on, or install a Whipple

500+ crank hp and ECO mode sounds like a win to me.

 

Mine was also part of the tow pkg activation. And I remember reading another post from someone who said when they had their tow pkg activated it fixed the ECO mode memory. Not sure if it's related or just coincidence.

I bought mine used last October. It's a Dec 2013 build I believe.

 

I had a tow hitch installed on my 2014 RT at the dealer last week. I just noticed today that the ECO mode will stay off when you start the car again. The only computer flash that is listed on my invoice was something about the heated seat module.

 

My updates didn't fix it, the eco still defaults to on at startup.

 

It would seem on a 2014 if you have the tow package you get the ECO off as default, if not you have ECO on as default?

 

Not true, I have the factory tow package and my ECO default is on. The latest update did not correct the issue as some other had reported it had.

 

Bought my 2014 R/T used back in August. Dealer I bought if from (BMW dealer) took it to Dodge dealer who "installed some updates" while it was there. When the vehicle was started, ECO was always defaulted to the "on" position.

Took it to local Dodge dealer to "fix" sunroof that did not sit flush when closed. They said it just needed to be re-calibrated and they did it no charge. They also said they installed some more updates. ECO still defaulted to "on" position when starting.

Took it in first week of October to get oil changed and asked service manager to make sure all updates had been completed. He said it had one they had to install and it was now up to date.

The ECO now stays in whatever mode it was in when the vehicle was shut down. To clarify, I do NOT have to turn off ECO every time I start the vehicle and I can turn it on if I want to.

Moral of story-before updates ECO always defaulted to ON. After updates ECO remains in mode last activated.
