Light-emmiting-diode lamp which indicates when the parking-break is engaged is not visible in daylight [i.e. peak bright southern california sunshine]. and, the led color is non-optimal for human observation. the led which is illuminated when the parking-break is set is not visible in day light. please consider fixing or repairing this problem asap. i routinely need to cover the area with my hand and squint in order to see if the led is lighted. this is a serious problem that could easily be fixed. perhaps someone during assembly used the wrong resistor??? i hope that chrysler jeep used pwm to control the led brightness, so that this issue can be fixed with a software update.
Vehicle had run unattended in enclosed garage. vehicle consumed all fuel in gas tank (about 14 gallons) resulting in excessive heat build up in garage that items in garage melted. parts on the vehicle melted. the battery was ruined from excessive heat, the fuel pump, inside the fuel tank, melted. the fuel tank became distorted. plastic was found in the valve train and is believed to have been sourced from the melted fuel pump. interior was damaged and flat spots on the tires were created due to excessive heat. vehicle was stationary and in park. this jeep is equipped with a keyless ignition and engine stop / start function that shuts engine off when braking to a complete stop and then restarts engine when brake is released. either the vehicle started on it's own, or vehicle was not shutoff prior to driver exiting. jeep does not provide any audible alert to the driver that the vehicle is running after the key fob has left the vehicle or fob is out of range. it is also a concern that the vehicle control modules would let the vehicle run for at least 24 hours and not shutoff. given that remote start will shutoff after 15 minutes and the acc position is only good for 30 minutes, how can jeep design a vehicle to idle unattended until the fuel tank emptied? vehicle was also observed to be running in a parking lot two weeks later. witnesses parked next to the jeep have no recollection of it running when driver left the vehicle.

I have had transmission issues since buying the vehicle. i have been to the dealer about 3 or 4 times to have the issue fixed and it was never fixed. low power, hesitations in acceleration, randomly dropping speed while acceleration, and complete loss of power. it happens when in motion at all speeds but mostly at speeds under 40 mph. it all continues to this day and i have all but given up on getting chrysler to take responsibility. i am sometimes even afraid to drive the vehicle when one or more of these symptoms happens. chrysler needs to take responsibility. as a consumer i am entitled to get what i pay for!
