I've always wanted a Grand Cherokee, and I absolutely love my GCL (limited with towing and luxury tech 2 packages). I've had it about a month, and has only 450 miles. But, there have been a ton of little issues:
1. Auto stop/start has never worked even once. I'm aware there are lots of conditions that disable it, but even when those conditions aren't present, it won't work. Dealer wasn't able to get it working either.
2. SOS call doesn't work, and the Uconnect screen says I need to take it to the dealer.
3. Automatic brake/warning light and beep has gone off twice when there was no cars or obstacles in front of me, nor were there shadows or anything that can confuse those systems.
4. Uconnect screen won't operate, and says "Turn vehicle to Run or Key On to access menu" even though the car is running and being driven.
5. Carplay screen goes completely black. Carplay also frequently won't connect wirelessly, but I'm aware that's a common issue.
6. Bright lights won't turn on in "auto," but I'm told that a fix is on the way.
7. Today, the screen brightness on the dash and Uconnect screen suddenly went to the highest brightness setting all by itself, and it could not be turned down with the knob. Later, it suddenly returned to normal brightness.
8. Minor issues: weather app rarely works; Uconnect software won't update.
I'm definitely not a picky person, and I don't need things to be perfect. But, I'm starting to get nervous about all these little issues, and I hope these issues can get fixed. Are these issues within the normal range for a new vehicle?
