| Description of the problem | Vehicle started displaying malfunction indicator light (mil) & had error codes u0402 & u1424. Dealer where i bought the vehicle performed recall r01 - flash of tcm & pcm (took about 3 hours). In june, i received notice of recall r05, which i had performed & also advised dealership of mil light ( same error codes u0402 &u1424). Dealer performed r05 service & cleared error codes & advised i should have no further issues. July 2, the mil & the start/stop error light came on. This was approximately 11, 800 miles. The lights went off after multiple drive cycles over 4 days, but came back on monday. I called a local jeep dealership & got an appointment for saturday, 7/11/15. Between monday & the appointment, the mil & start/stop error lights went off and came back on after multiple drive cycles. This happened 5 times between 7/2 & 7/11. Each time, the error codes were u0402 and u1424. The dealer could not see that the tcm & pcm flashes had been done, so they were done again (almost 3 hours to complete). I was advised this should resolve the issue. Several drive cycles & 2 days later, the same 2 lights are back on with the same 2 error codes & i have to take it back for the 4th time for the same malfunction error codes. Since this is transmission-related, i have concerns about the safety of my vehicle at this point. |
