| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 jeep grand cherokee that just will not start. Not a battery problem. Started with windshield wiper problems where the wipers just stayed erect and only worked on high. This happened two times 10/1/2010 and 12/26/2010. Always started working again before i could see dealer. Always happened when either rain or snow was present causing a danger of collision. On monday 2/28/2011 it just would not start. Interior light lit, could not shift into neutral or any other gear. Could not get any help or even a call back from dealer, and two corporate managers never returned my call as they promised. When i finally spoke to corperate, both corporate managers were rude and condescending, dealers all going out of business locally in nj but no will confirm that. Lots are empty. I found service in another county. He fixed it. He claims it was a wire control module and my key fobs also needed to be reprogrammed. These are identical problems to other complaints filed. Similar complaints all over the internet. I know three other people how had a similar experience. One has a 2008 jeep liberty. |
