| Description of the problem | At the time i first tried out the vehicle & prior to purchase the battery was dead & it had to be "jump" started. I requested that a new battery be installed prior to delivery. I took delivery & about a week later went on vacation, did not take jeep. It was not driven for about 3 weeks. When i tried to start it the jeep would not start, as if the battery was dead. I jumped it & continued to drive it, every day for several weeks. After a few weeks, i let the vehicle sit for a day without starting and when i tried it would not start. 8/19/13 took jeep to the dealer to get problem with electrical system fixed. They tightened the negative battery terminal & reprogrammed one of the computers. 9/2/13 jeep would not start, had to jump it. Did not run it or try to start it yesterday. 9/30/13 jeep would not start & when i jumped it the uconnect system would not work.. Took it to dealer. They think the radio is drawing current from battery. They replaced radio. 10/21/13. Jeep would not start after setting two days. Took it back to jasper jeep. They are going to try putting a new battery in it under the assumption that the problem may be a battery post. Service manager checked the records and could not find where a new battery had been installed prior to purchase. 12/30/13 9:15am tried to start jeep, it would not start. Got clicking sound like low battery, interior dash lights were on. There was a new dash warning light on, it is a red lighting bolt. 9:38am. Started it & after it was connected to "start car" for a minute it started. Let it run for a couple minutes shut it off & it started ok. Red lighting bolt not on.
