Had vehicle through multiple warning lights, crash protection inop, lane assist inop, ABS inop, power steering inop, turn signal didnt work. This happend twice. The first time taken to shop and said it was fixed but had it less than 50 miles and same thing happened. It was going down the highway at 70mph and steering went out with no turn signals. Turned vehicle into dealership looking into vehicle buy back Electrical system
The vehicle stopped communicating with the key fab. The whole car is dead because of this. I thought this was a 1 off type of thing, but I see this complaint and an article about this on the web. Waiting to see a repair from Jeep but they cant get parts. Being sitting at the dealership since monday february 14. Waiting on the communications thing to fix the car. Electrical system
Brand new car. Driven 600 miles. After shopping at Costco I get to the car and it is completely dead. Will not turn on and every single code possible popped on the screen. Luckily I wasnât with my kids or out of town or this couldâve been a nightmare. How can this happen with a brand new car? Makes me afraid of what may happen in the future. Electrical system
