The radio has been replaced 3 times by the jeep dealer. The issue is over the air updates of the uconnect radio system fail and put the radio in Italian language disable foward collision safety features and other car features that I paid for need to also be enabled by the dealer that the dealer can only activate due to Stella’s firewall issue that prevents people to work on their own cars and require the dealership software to fix. The radio replacement does not fix issue even though they replace 3 times. They don’t actually have a fix and they are just putting band-aid on the problem. The…

Dealer has attempted repair however fix only works for a few weeks and then reverts.

Hard shifting occurred. Then service 4WD light came on dash. After an oil change, the light went away, but the hard shifting is still there. An independent dealer replaced my transfer case as well as completed an update to the transmission. The hard shifting came back even worse, with almost every gear. Took to a Dodge/Ram/Jeep dealership who completed a TSB 21-015-23. Their next recommendation is to replace the valve body and if that doesn’t fix it, then replace the transmission. They stated this recommendation came directly from Stillentis. Since this is a known issue from Stillantis, they…
Forward Collision Warning has been disabled since a forced OTA software update in August of 2024. Jeep has issued a STAR report to their dealers (S248A000013). Jeep acknowledges it is an issue, but fails to cover the remedy. Dealer wants $200+ to diagnose plus the cost of the software refresh. The system forces you to take the software update, removes a key safety feature, and then Jeep wants you to pay to restore it. This is a major issue with this model covered in the forums and should be addressed via recall. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT…

The specific safety concerns regarding seat positioning while moving, language change of instrumentation and critical alarms, metric changes to critical items like speed, and failure of front…
There was a previous recall for camera system that was fixed using a OTA over the air update per JEEP. This update introduced new problems It disabled the forward collision detection and disabled paddle shifting and other safety features which should also be issued as a RECALL because the dealer is not reputable to this on their own. The fix that they did requires customer to come in and have more work done at their expense and they pretend they didn't cause it but clearly this is a major problem across their whole line of Cars.
