BOUGHT JEEP BRAND NEW. ONLY COUPLE MONTHS LATER MY FOB WOULDNT START CAR. JUST DEAD. TRIED TO START 20 TIMES BOTH FOBS. RANDOMLY STARTED NEXT DAY. BROUGHT TO DEALER THEY WERE PERPLEXED REPLACED FOB. SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS JEEP WONT START WITH FOB AND THEN RANDOMLY DOES HAD IT TOWED 2 TIMES. I DONT TRUST TO TAKE IT FAR. ONCE WHEN DRIVING ON STREET. JEEP JUST SHUT OFF.VERY SCARY I LOOKED AT PANEL NO LIGHTS NO NOTHING. I WAS LUCKY I WASNT ON A HIGHWAY OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.NO POWER STEERING FORGOT NO POWER CANT STEER.VEERED OVER TOOK FOB OUT , PRAYED..STARTED UP. I DIDNT HIT IT WITH MY KNEE (IVE READ THAT COULD HAPPEN)ALSO MY FOB ALWAYS HAD A GOOD BATTERY. I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS ON MY MAKE AND MODEL THAT MATCH MY ISSUES BUT WHEN I CHECK MY VIN # IT DOESNT COME UP. I HAVE OTHER ISSUES THAT MATCH RECALLS ALSO THAT I WILL USE THE OTHER CATEGORIES. THE DATE WILL BE THE TIME I WAS DRIVING SINCE WAS MOST DANGEROUS

AFTER RECEIVING N23 RECALL AND OTHER SOFTWARE UPDATES (P73) THE 4 WHEEL DRIVES SYSTEM DISABLES AT RANDOM. THIS HAS TO BE REPAIRED AT DEALER. ERROR CODE POINTS TO SHIFT ACTUATOR, BUT IN REALITY IT IS SOFTWARE. IF ERRORS ARE CLEARED PARTS FUNCTION FINE. LOSS OF 4 WHEEL DRIVE CAN BE A LIFE THREATENING. SINCE MOST OF THE TIME 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS NEEDED IS WHEN NOT NEAR HELP. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE ONGOING SINCE 2013. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED SINCE 2014 WITH STARCASES. ISSUE HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED. LATEST BREAK DOWN LEFT ME STRANDED WHILE ON VACATION AND HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SHIFTING FAILS RANDOMLY, IT CAN BE WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN TRYING TO ENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE OR JUST DRIVING DOWN STREET AND SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM WARNING COMES ON. ERROR CAN BE CORRECTED SOMETIMES BY PULLING FUSE FOR FINAL DRIVE CONTROL MODULE OTHER TIMES REQUIRES DEALER TO REAPPLY SOFTWARE FLASH. SOME DEALERS REFUSE TO TRY THIS AND JUST PROCEED TO CHARGE TO REPLACE SHIFT ACTUATOR MOTOR.
