| Description of the problem | The problem started today out of the blue on a cold wet day. I drove home from work at 7am in the rain and parked. At 2pm i tried to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start. It would just stall. After several attempts at starting it, it would just stall. Then it wouldn't start at all so i let it sit for a while. When i went to start it again, it would start but all the lights were flashing, the radio was going on and off, the windshield wipers would go and stop. I rented a code reader that read u1411, no connection to the problem so i cleared the code and it fixed the problem for about an hour. Now it doesn't fix it. Jeep says they don't know unless i take it in for a diagnostic. But i looked online and found lots and lots of jeep owners having the exact same complaint. All of their complaints started the same way, in the rain and without warning and they were all fixed the same way, replacing the ignition switch. It appears to me that there is a problem but jeep isn't addressing the problem. I don't think i should have to go pay them to diagnose and fix a problem that they already know about, but won't admit! |
