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 something going wrong now.
Vehicle was previously driven, parked, shut off, returned to vehicle and it failed to start. Lights, horn, alarm, radio, windows all power still works on the vehicle. Vehicle taken to in network car shop, all parts tested working properly (alternator, battery, starter) no intermittent starting with the vehicle at all. Vehicle has failed to start since incident. Vehicle will be towed to manufacture dealership tomorrow. Current mileage 100784.
Car has had starting problems left us stranded. If you let it set over night usually starts have taken too dealer 3 times they haven't found problem. Replaced starter and wire with new end with no luck. Like car tiered of getting stranded. If you read forums there are a lot of these problems.
