My jeep has periodic starting issues. all the lights work on the dash it just clicks. this is very random. if you jump it the vehicle will start. sometimes if you wait a period of time it will start. took it to the dealer they replaced starter but issue stills persist. it is very difficult to recreate. dealers have no clue what is causing the issue.

The remote car starter starts my vehicle? but 5-10 seconds later it shuts back off and my radio turns itself on and off even while its not on. the display goes black, makes a click, shows the jeep logo, bars where the time should be, 12:00, then the real time, then does it all over again the entire time the vehicle is running. there is also a clicking noise sometimes when i unlock the doors even while the jeep is off, it also happens sometimes when turning the heat on. this is sometimes resolved by changing the fan to cabin mode, other times it continues for random lengths of time. i see that there were other recalls regarding the electrical system on this model & am worried about driving it in case it turns into a more serious issue. when looking at recall information on kbb.com it says my vin is a part of the electrical system recall for power train transfer case, but when i check it here it says there are no inrepaired recalls. i am not sure if it has already been fixed, or if my vehicle is y a part of it, but there is definitely ...

Mid winter of 2018 i drove my jeep home and parked it on a flat landing and when i went out to start it 2 days after parking it nothing happened. i had to have it towed because the problem was with my starter. now it is october 2019 and i was waiting at a red light in the middle of a busy city intersection and the jeep just shuts off. after i couldn't get it started up again we found that it was once again the starter. this happened 2 weeks ago and since then i had the starter rebuilt and put back in. this morning it did the exact same thing at the exact same red light. on top of this it has been overheating at random times while driving, it does leak antifreeze but it has overheated even when the antifreeze was full. also, over the summer i parked at s pizza shop in my hometown and left it running while i picked up my order. when i returned to the jeep it was stuck in park and needed the shifter replaced. the ...

While driving straight in the fast lane on the highway at around 65 mph, my vehicle suddenly shut off with no warning and i noticed that all dashboard warning lights came on. fortunately, there was a fast-lane shoulder that i was able to steer it on, or i might have been killed by oncoming traffic. vehicle would not re-start so i disconnected the negative battery cable, waited a few minutes and re-connected it and then the vehicle re-started but ran very rough. i proceeded along the shoulder to try and get off the highway, but the vehicle shut down again. i repeated the same process and it again re-started and i managed to drive home on back roads at 40 mph. this has happened on at least three other occasions, but the incidents occurred many months apart, which made me think it was a one-off situation. i have since researched this issue on the internet and have learned that many other people have had this happen to them. i think this is a tragedy in the making if chrysler does not address this deficiency by issuing an immediate recall. i also request that a chrysler dealership ...
