| Description of the problem | I purchased my used 2014 jeep grand cherokee from jt's chrysler & jeep in lexington, sc on may 27th, 2017. Sometime a few weeks later in june, we started having issues with our radio and touch screen panel. It did an automatic update by itself (screen said to keep vehicle running for 15 mins to complete) and now it will not save any presets that we try and save to it. The volume to the radio works fine some days, other days, we cannot get the volume to work on the radio at all... Or worse, sometimes it will let us turn the volume up some and then we cannot get it to turn back down (causing issues when i need to hear things outside of the vehicle) until we power the ignition down. It has affected the navigation and speakers to some degree already and we have taken it back to the dealership twice to have it looked at with no resolution. They have told us they tried a "flash update" but it still has not helped. We constantly get an error message stating "vehicle phone needs service". I did some research after our last service appointment and realized there was a recall on the radio's for this model and year jeep for the same issues we are having but, i do not see our vin # listed in the recall. I am looking for someone to shed some light if possible on how we can go about getting this resolved. Thank you! |
