| Description of the problem | I have a recurring problem with my 2017 jeep grand cherokee that has been going on for a period of 17 months. My problem started in may, 2016 when my navigation system failed by giving me the wrong information by instructing me to turn into a one way (wrong way) traffic lane. This has since happened many times since then by directing me incorrectly. The complete navigation system, clock & compass, periodically don't work. On occasion i receive the following message on my vehicle's computer screen "vehicle phone requires service please contact your dealer." after numerous appointments with the dealer & telling them that the problem is not with my phone they finally said they could not repair the problem and gave me an 800 number to call the manufacturer customer service. After numerous discussions with various customer service people over a period of two months, on 9/28/2017 customer service person patricia said there is nothing they can do to repair the vehicle however that a "jeep service bulletin #08-028-17 with updates to software level 17. 11. 07 will occur in a phased roll-out and maybe the problem will go away." they told me i would receive download instructions but could not tell me when these instructions would be sent out. The system will work periodically but fails more often than not. Yesterday i was again using the navigation in an area that i unfamiliar with and the system again tried to route me into oncoming traffic. |
