I had this issue and opened a support request by phone and it was resolved in about a week without taking it in.I have the same issue, but also none of the cell functions I the vehicle work. Not sure how an OTA will work without the cell service working. I’m taking mine in next weekend for the new software update but don’t have much faith it’ll fix it.
Wow, I really expected better from these GCL's and I wish jeep cares had more power with getting dealerships the information they need as we are essentially the guinea pigs.I have that issue along with assist not working, hotspot not working and radio freezing issues.
It goes in Wednesday for the radio software update so hope that fixes it. Have had them since pushed a few months ago, this will be the third time into a dealer for the same issues. Its getting old very fast, and if this is not fixed this time they can take this back, I cant waste any more of my time on a new vehicle. Its not even just he radio, the tailgate is not aligned from the factory and they cant get that right, the door skin popped away from door frame (spot welt broke) and the just "pushed" it back, had the trans shifting issues but the TSB fixed that one.
Check this video out, I went out last week to check the radio (froze the night before) and I got in, sat down and pushed to run (not start) and something went off like an alarm from the radio speakers. I got out, shut the door came back out a few min later and it was still going off so I opened the garage and started it...still going off, as you see I had to reset radio to stop it.
(video is kind of rough and turns but you will get the idea)

Here is how I can get into the backend Android computer (I put wrong password in):

I have been working with a case worker back and forth but have had issues with that at first also..they said they called and never did. It has got better when it seemed to switch to another at least but even they did not understand when I said the assist would connect but I could not hear anyone, they said it was a hardware issue with the button not working!

Make sure the perform the radio recall! A lot of people have had good luck with new software.I have this issue as well on our new GCL. SOS and assist buttons do not work and I get that same message about taking it to the dealer for fix. I took it to dealer yesterday and they said that they have never heard of this issue before (just like my funky shift issue). Also, the radio just goes blank from time to time among other quirky issues that I cannot replicate when I get to the dealer (of course). I do have an appointment next week.... trying to keep the faith in a very expensive new car. Our 2019 GC was bullet proof and it just worked... all the time! I love the new car, but surely do miss the reliability of my 2019. Wondering why I took the plunge into a new untested car. :-(
I had it happen once this week, but didn’t repeat. Only, after it happened I was able to enable the hotspot for the first time. yesterday, i had my appointment for the recall software update so we will see if it returns.
My sos, client services and wifi are all not working. I have a case in with Jeep. They acknowledged today this is an issue they are aware of and it’s software related. I was told they are working on a software patch to fix with no time table. Not really ideal on a new car and in my opinion the SOS button not working is a matter of safety. I don’t want to be too dramatic here though. It’s frustrating to have these types of issues on a new car but as others have mentioned this is a trailblazing exercise with this model L. I’d suggest everyone call and open a case that has this problem and it might pressure them to resolve it sooner.I get this message almost every day when I start my car. Do you know if this was an issue that will be solved with thr OTA update or this requires a dealership visit? View attachment 1034

If you'd like any additional support while working with your dealer to get this addressed, let us know!Pretty sure this software update doesn’t fix the sos/assist button issues. They’re saying it does but have to see one case where it has. I take mine in next week for the update since my incar WiFi isn’t working and can’t get the OTA update.
So far, the issue has not returned.If you'd like any additional support while working with your dealer to get this addressed, let us know!
