    Snowed today, but couldn't get out of driveway!

    My question would be what is under the snow? Was there rain changing to snow resulting in the rain freezing into black ice then snow on top of the ice? If so, that may be the issue and only winter tires would help. Mechanically I assume the front drive axle disconnect is working or there...

    Safety Recall - Taillamp-Side Markers

    They are refering to the led wrap arround side marker light strip. Evidently some of these were defective and don't illuminate.

    Safety Recall - Taillamp-Side Markers

    I wonder how much the dealer gets reimbursed under warranty for inspecting i.e. turning on lights and looking to see if the taillight side marker illuminates? I guess the NHTSA/FCA can't assume the vehicle owner is capable of this inspection. Glad to see they are on top of this as they first...

    Knocking Sounds?

    There is a TSB on incorrect heat shields being installed. The service tech told me the heat shield was the issue and they fixed it. They said the heat shield would heat up and expand causing a clearance issue which resulted in a popping noise.

    cruise control

    Is the spring tension on the gas pedal too weak? I always keep my foot on or near the gas pedal when using cruise control. This has never been an issue with any car/truck I have owned until now. Unfortunately, I am unintentionally increasing the vehicle speed overriding the cruise speed setting...

    Rear license plate bracket or bottom screws

    I use a Silicone License Plate Frame; it seems to work well. YMMV https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X5XCYX7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Recall confusion

    Y79 recall shows as incomplete on both Mopar and NHTSA. It is strange because I had the dealer perform the Y79 recall fix on Nov 18. after which the recall status then changed from incomplete to complete on the Mopar website. Then some weeks later the Y79 status changed back from complete to...

    Gas Gauge/Low Fuel Light/Range Estimation Question

    This article will likely explain what is happening. http://www.stanag.org/pdf/fuel-gas-tank-accuracy.pdf The vehicle's fuel tank capacity does not include the vapor headspace (that portion of the tank compartment at a level above the filler pipe neck) or the volume of the filler pipe. Sometimes...

    Grand cherokee L Limited - Active Lane Management System (self driving???)

    I personally hate the Active Lane Management System and keep it turned off. I like being able to gradually change lanes when passing a vehicle. However, this system fights your steering input requiring excessive steering input resulting in an abrupt lane change which is very noticeable to the...
