| Description of the problem | There is a recall (#89275) for improperly manufactured front control modules on certain 2008 jeep grand cherokees. I own one such make and model (bought it used in june 2011), and am being told that i may have to replace my front control module by a service writer at the local jeep dealer. It would not start this morning at all. Since august there has been intermittent malfunctions in the automatic start, navigation system and power seat settings, and parking assist, too. I am being told separately by the jeep national recall center that the recall is vin-specific and does not impact my particular vehicle. Is this a legitimate explanation of fact by jeep? *kb |
