Warnings problem #3

When the vehicle is in reverse, whether stationary or moving, sometimes the parking assist grid lines do not show up at all on the screen that you are looking at which are supposed to help you when you are backing the vehicle up. The grid lines let you know how far to keep backing up, if you are going straight or at an angle, let you know when you should stop backing up, etc. This means you are not exactly sure when you should stop & sometimes you hit the curb behind you with your wheels or in my case, I hit our backyard fence. I also couldn't tell that I was as close to a parked car as I was or that I did not pull into a parking space straight. I've emailed Jeep several times over the past 2 years & joined several online blog groups & Jeep keeps telling us Jeep owners they will be putting out a uconnect upgrade which should fix it but we've been waiting over 2 years now & nothing has happened.
