MY JEEP STARTED WITH AN ERROR 'SERVICE SHIFTER' ON THE CONTROL PANEL SHORTLY AFTER THAT ALL THE CODES STARTED POPPING UP. STEERING WHEEL, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE CODES HAVE NOT CLEARED. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY TWO YEARS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM ON IT.
Electrical system, Nov 20, 2019
WE PURCHASED OUR JEEP IN 2014 BRAND NEW. I BELIEVE IT WAS 2- 3 YEARS LATER SO POSSIBLY IN 2016-2017 WE NOTICED OUR HEATED STEERING WHEEL WOULD BE GLITCHY AND WORK/NOT WORK. THEN ONE DAY IT WAS LIGHTLY RAINING SO I TURNED MY WIPERS ON THEN IT STARTED RAINING HEAVIER BUT MY WIPERS WOULD NOT GO ON A HIGHER LEVEL WHICH MADE IT VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO RESET IT. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY NOW SO I HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THEM ON EVERY TIME I WANT TO USE WIPERS. THIS ALSO HAS TO DO WITH MY BLINKERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY EITHER AND THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN DOESN'T WORK, SO I CAN'T CHANGE SETTINGS ON THE DASHBOARD EITHER. WHEN TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A LITTLE PIECE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILES THE WARRANTY WAS VOID. A CAR THAT NEW SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT FIXED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE SINCE IT IS A FAULTY PART. THIS CAN BE SUPER DANGEROUS WHEN YOU USE THE WIPERS, ALL THE OTHER AREAS DON'T AFFECT SAFETY AS MUCH AS THE WIPER ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS ALL LINKED TO THAT ONE PIECE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A RECALL ON THIS THINKING IT WOULD COME UP SINCE IT WAS A NEW CAR...BUT HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I WAS RECENTLY TOLD ABOUT THIS SITE THAT I COULD SUBMIT ISSUES TO SO THAT IS WHY IT HAS TAKEN LONGER TO REPORT. I AM PRETTY POSITIVE THAT IF THE DEALERSHIP I TAKE IT TO KEEPS TRACK OF THE TIMES IT IS BROUGHT IN, WE CAN SEE THE NOTES FROM WHEN THIS WAS ADDRESSED.

THE ALTERNATOR IN MY VEHICLE FAILED AND CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS A RECALL, P60 ALTERNATOR BUT IT IS ONLY RELATED TO THE 3.6L ENGINE AND I HAVE THE 5.8L V8. THERE IS ALSO AN ADVANCED COMMUNICATION T3607112017 WHICH SEEMS TO DESCRIBE MY VEHICLE AND INCLUDES THE V8 JEEP BUT IT IS ALSO NOT LISTED AS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. HOW DO I FIND OUT WHY MY VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL AS MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED.

IN 2018, THE A/C FIRST WENT OUT AND WE WENT TO MOPAR TO HAVE IT ASSESSED. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT A "CHARGING" PROBLEM BUT ELECTRICAL AND NEED THE DEALER. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WITHOUT ANY INTERVENTION THE A/C CAME BACK ON. IN JUNE 2019, THE A/C WENT OUT AGAIN AND THE DEALER SAID "FAULTY TIPM" AND THE REPAIR WITH DIAGNOSTICS WOULD BE CLOSE TO $900. HOW DOES A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES INCUR A BRAIN FAILURE?! I GUESS IT COULD HAPPEN BUT RESEARCHING THE TOPIC I SEE JEEP HAS A LONG HISTORY OF FAULTY TIPMS WITH ONLY 1 RECALL. WHY DOES NHTSA ALLOW JEEP TO RIP OFF CUSTOMERS? IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT JEEP HAS A CONSISTENT HISTORY OF INSTALLING FAULTY TIPMS SO THEY CAN REAP $1,000 REPAIRS. YOU CANNOT SEE THE A/C NOT PRODUCING COLD AIR SO I WILL SKIP UPLOADING A PICTURE.

THE "SERVICE GEAR SHIFT" WARNING HAS APPEARED WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION (6 TIMES) AND WHILE PARKED (1TIME) AND THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS STARTING TO SLIP AND WILL GEAR DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE NEXT THING THAT OCCURS IS THE WIPERS WILL START ON THEIR OWN AND CAN NOT BE TURNED OFF. AFTER THE WIPERS ARE TRIGGERED THEN THE NEXT MESSAGE WILL SAY "UNTIL YOU REACH A DESIRED LOCATION YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT AGAIN UNTIL SERVICED". NEXT ANOTHER RANDOM MESSAGE WILL APPEAR AND THEN THE SCREEN WILL GO BLANK. THIS INCLUDES ALL DIGITAL FUNCTIONS OF THE DASH. SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, TACHOMETER, ETC. SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ARE THE ONLY THING THAT WILL APPEAR. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED ON AUG. 2, 2019 THE CAR WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK OR TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAD TO PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND GET UNDER THE HOOD WHERE THE FUSE PANEL IS LOCATED AND PULL THE IGNITION FUSE TO DISABLE THE CAR. WE HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN TO BYERS CHRYSLER LLC. 7 TIMES AND HAVE AN ONGOING COMMUNICATION CASE WITH A CORPORATE JEEP CARE ASSOCIATE. WE HAVE MUTIPLE VIDEOS THAT CAN BE SEEN OF THE ACTIONS OF THE CAR. THREE TIMES THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO US WITH NOTHING DONE EXCEPT CLEARING THE ERROR CODES IT GENERATES WHILE THIS OCCURS. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS NOW AT THE POINT WHERE IT WILL NOT SAFELY PARK AND TURN OFF. THE IMAGE I AM INCLUDING STATES THE THE CAR SHOULD BE SHUT OFF TO ENGAGE PARK BUT IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO THIS. I HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN GEAR AND RUNNING WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON. THIS IS AS UNSAFE AS IT CAN GET AND THERE IS NO CLUE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. WE HAVE CURRENTLY SPENT $1600 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO REMEDY.
