This starting issue is only one a several. I'll post them separately. Had the engine replaced already too! This Jeep was purchased at Auction Direct USA in Victor, NY in October 2017. The starting problems began occurring 2 months into taking ownership. Figuring it was probably a battery issue since the Jeep was 5 years old. I bought a new battery for $170 at Auto Zone. Issues continued. Then the Jeep died at an intersection one day so we had it taken to a dealership. THANK GOD we bought the extended warranty. They found a melted relay and a melted coil of wires in the shifter console. Replaced them and then the starter as well. Still having issues with Jeep starting once in a while. It's like the ignition isn't communicating with the starter because it doesn't even turn over. I sometimes get the Red Lightening bolt and check engine light though. That's fun! 58,000 miles on this POS
