Owners/service Manual problems of the 2017 Jeep Compass

Sirius travel link/uconnect system installed in fca's 8. 4" nav infortainment screen comes with a 5 year trial of sirius travel link which access the national weather service alert system, and as a result the driver is bombarded with numerous weather alerts for the region - they are very distracting pop-up windows which must be manually dismissed, requiring driver to look away from the road and take a hand off the wheel to "x" out of each one on the touch screen. These alerts pop up many times during a single short trip depending on the weather, sometimes as many as 15 in a short 10 minute drive, and includes counties over a hundred miles away. There is no way to disable them in the radio. It is impossible to get rid of the service - we tried cancelling our sirius subscription entirely but the weather alerts have continued. We have experienced a number of instances where the radio has caused us to not see things while driving because we were looking at the screen to turn off the alerts. These alerts are numerous, frequent, and horribly annoying, and very distracting. There has to be a way for the user to disable these notifications.

Sirius/xm guardian weather alerts on radio for areas that are not in your local area are a constant distraction and cannot be disabled. Alerts occurs for weather that is 100s of miles away from home location. Alerts do not go away by themselves, they have to be manually cancelled on the radio display.

Jeep's uconnect system has, on three occasions, not recognized my voice for calling an existing phone contact. In place of canceling, or asking for a manual selection on the screen, uconnect defaults to calling 9-1-1 emergency services. This places me in an awkward position, ties up essential emergency service resources, and is embarrassing. I have even changed the names in my phone to avoid any sort of confusion. Since September 2017, this has occurred three times.

Owners manual shows reversed polarity on battery terminals in the jump starting procedure section. Chrysler has a recall (t46) out for the corrected manual for vehicles built through April 28, 2017, my car was built on April 29, 2017 and has the incorrect manual but Chrysler refuses to provide a correct one, saying I'm not part of the recall.
