The navigation system goes blank mid trip screen goes on and off and switches to other media. The transmission clicks from switching from park to drive or reverse. The truck makes a weird vibration noise it sounds coarse and feels weird after 20mph. All these problems have been happening since I took the Jeep out the dealership. I always bring it back to the dealer they say they fix it and I always bring it right back with the same exact problems.

HVAC system not working correctly; system cycles off/on rapidly and unable to maintain desire internal temperature of Jeep. Has been taken to Jeep dealer twice in 3 weeks without having situation fixed. Jeep service manager states "we know of issue, have no repair at this time, but not considered an official problem by Chrysler at this time".

Drove one block from home and the battery voltage spiked to 17V. Warning sounds and messages posted on the odometer. Parking assist off; acc unavailable-service required; wipers activated even though turned off; transmission locked in D; radio screen blacked out/came back on; message read to stop, press the brake, turn engine off then place in park. Red battery icon, anti skid icon, engine icon lit on odometer plus warning sounds non stop. Took directly to the dealer where the tech tried to get a reading on all of the trouble icons. Nothing was posting on their equipment. It was decided the vehicle may need the alternator replaced. Was told to continue driving and if this happens again to turn the engine off and restart the vehicle and keep driving.

Received 2nd notice of recall for sun visor wiring -P36/NHTSA 14V-391 contacted the Jeep dealership 3 times and each time they stated I'm on "the list" to be called when the parts come in. According to my last conversation with them, they stated "there is no list"! why am I getting two different stories and why am I wasting my time? dealership does not know how to treat their customers or are not correctly informed as to the guidelines of how to process recalls. I'm beginning to rethink my next purchase!
The entire stereo screen all of the sudden "blacked out" not allowing any controls to work. Every 20 seconds the blacked out screen goes blue with a message to "please insert update usb". the bill luke dealership states that this is not covered under the warranty and no recalls on this. However, states this problem is common requiring the entire head/stereo unit to be replaced. Recall #P6/NHTSA 14V-634 states that depending on the alternator failure mode and timing that the ESC (electronic stability control) or ECM (electronic control module) can be disabled. Even though there are not other issues with this Jeep at this time, who is to say that this recall is not affecting the stereo/head unit? it is a possibility. I should not have to pay to replace a stereo/head unit in a new 2014 vehicle that stopped working by a defect that is no fault of mine.
