The auto start stop has malfunctioned so many times now I've lost count. I've had the Jeep for 6 months. It started the first week. The check engine light comes on and goes off and the start/stop issue light does the same. I've had it in and they just clear the error messages and send me on my way. Very frustrating! the engine has turned off completely and had difficulty coming back on multiple times at stop signs and stop lights!

I have a humming noise between 30 - 40 mph. I took it back to dealer at 700 miles on new Jeep and they told me that is normal. That is the muffler system. Now it seems like it is humming louder and when I turn some corners there is a small clunknoise. I mentioned it to dealer and still told nothing to worry about. Everyone that rides with me asks me what is wrong with my car.

It makes a humming noise and it sounds like when you are slowing down it's almost like it's shifting down. Been doing since I picked it up from the dealer on 01/19/2018. I have had it at the dealership they say the noise is normal. I disagree. I have had a symbol twice come up that looks like this (a)!. my main concern is that humming noise and where is it coming from should I be concerned with the transmission? it happens around 25 and higher speed.

Vehicle would not start - error message parking break engaged. Push gas pedal and release brake. These operations were performed and the vehicle would still not start. It took several minutes and attempts to finally get the vehicle to start. This is not safe operation of the vehicle.

When I adjust the forward collision preferences settings it show me "selected" and I can back to the main menu and come back again to this option to check and continues selected, but when the ECU sleeps (turn off the vehicle) and I turn the vehicle back on after 30 seconds the forward collision preferences are showed set in the default values, my custom values are not saved, so it is very dangerous to trust this security function. Also at the time of starting the advance in the morning, when the vehicle is cold by the ambient temperature, the front brakes produce a loud noise when braking gently, as when the ABS is activated during a sudden braking, but after a few minutes of normal driving and braking this stop happening.
