| Description of the problem | Final drive control module (fdcm). Vehicle had n23 and p73 recalls completed. Sometime later, lost 4wd low. Returned to dealer for re flash per fca recall for life. Upon investigation, they cannot access fdcm due to a short; part needs replaced. Called fca multiple times and they will not cover as its hardware as opposed to software recall. There are many instances, in my research, where their recall causes the loss of 4wd low. Fca knows their "fix" was for a hardware issue and they fail to cover it. Owned jeeps a long time and i'm done. I have six children so they maybe they can do the math on what this will cost them over generations! |
