| Description of the problem | After receiving n23 recall and other software updates (p73) the 4 wheel drives system disables at random. This has to be repaired at dealer. Error code points to shift actuator, but in reality it is software. If errors are cleared parts function fine. Loss of 4 wheel drive can be a life threatening. Since most of the time 4 wheel drive is needed is when not near help. My vehicle has been having this issue ongoing since 2013. Chrysler has been contacted since 2014 with starcases. Issue has yet to be resolved. Latest break down left me stranded while on vacation and having to pay for repairs. The 4 wheel drive shifting fails randomly, it can be while driving or stationary. It can happen when trying to engage 4 wheel drive or just driving down street and service 4wd system warning comes on. Error can be corrected sometimes by pulling fuse for final drive control module other times requires dealer to reapply software flash. Some dealers refuse to try this and just proceed to charge to replace shift actuator motor. Started in 2013-14, ongoing most recent failure 1/9/2017 reference: http://www. Jeepforum.
