Description of the problem | For the past three months since labor day of 2018, my 2018 jeep cherokee latitude has not started on several occasions. Eventually it does start but it will always say, "cannot read key fob". I have discovered that it's worse when i use the remote start to warm it up. What's really weird is that i have discovered that when i get out of my vehicle and go to the back hatch and use the remote to lock and unlock the doors, it starts after that. Go figure. Just this week, the driver side door wouldn't shut twice within three days. The latch was stuck. Eventually, after trying just about everything i could think of like turning the vehicle on and off and locking and unlocking the doors from the inside of the vehicle, i tried using the remote to lock and unlock the doors, and then the driver side door shut properly. I don't understand why such a new vehicle purchase brand new in april of this year with less than 14, 000 miles on it would have so many problems. The dealership is picking it up again tomorrow for the third time to attempt to fix it. Last chance. If not fixed this time, i will be getting legal representation. Not sure if these are safety issues but i know that driving down the road with the door not closed properly could be a hazard. I am just wondering if something else might go wrong with it next. I am really disappointed in this vehicle to say the least! |
