My 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee will intermittently not start. I will push the button and it revs up but does not turn over. This lasts for about 10 minutes and then will start. This happens about once a week. The car also stalled underway twice this past summer.
My car has stalled twice in the last 3 days and has also no turned on so we needed a jump 1 day ago. We bought this car brand new off the lot with only 65 miles on it. Also there's an 'a!' symbol showing on the dash now
The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to immediately shift into drive or reverse. In addition, the dashboard computer malfunctioned. After the computer self reset, the vehicle would suddenly accelerate.
When using the view screen for navigation I continue to get weather alerts for locations that 100s miles away from me. Which make me look down at the screen to touch the ok button to get back to the navigation.
I got into my vehicle and when I tried starting it would not turn on the engine. The only thing that would illuminate was the speedometer area. The audio unit would turn on off and then on and then off. I tried about 10 times and would not start the engine. The vehicle was parked in my driveway when it happened
