It usually takes a good 10 to 15 minutes to start sometimes then when i do get it started i have the same issues that i have read about on this website and many other websites. the car will not go over 20 miles per hour and you have to pull off the road, turn off the vehicle, wait and turn it back on. it is almost like the jeep has to be reset. i have talked with several people and had the codes ran. it keeps coming up that it is the solenoid and starter. i have read on many blogs about the same issue that the solenoid wires are not protected from rain water in this vehicle and it causes them to corrode or go bad all together. this is an issue that needs to be recalled. if they know that the wires are not protected from rain water then there needs to be some type of protection that they can put over them or install a different kind of wire. this is costing people hundreds of dollars to repair something that should have never been an issue. also this is a safety hazard because when we pull out on the road we expect our vehicle to excel properly and go over 20 miles per hour. *tr
