My car battery died. After replacing battery I have an error message displayed across the odometer. I have tried resetting the panel. Had it scanned and found nothing. . Disconnected the battery cable for over an hour, did not reset the message. Was told the pcn needed to be flashed. Cost $200 dollars. I have seen numerous complaints for the same thing and wondering why there isn't a recall of what ever is going on. All of the stories are the same. Loss of battery power when they turn car on after reconnecting battery. The error message occurs and does not go away. This should really be a recall it is effecting a lot of Jeep liberties.
