Hey Folks - Picked up a '19 Base JL Sport (2-Door, V-6, 6-Speed - Base model) as a 2nd vehicle in addition to my '17 Grand Cherokee. I only have ~1,300 miles on it
Over the last few weeks, as it's started to get cold here in Rhode Island, I've started having problems with intermittent operation of the gauge cluster.
As an example, Yesterday following the snowstorm, I went out to shovel/clear the Jeep. Upon getting into it and starting it, the vehicle starts right up, the center digital display works, but the gauges just bounce on the very bottom (speedo/tach) and the temp/fuel gauge read zero. The low gas light is on (since the gauge is reading empty) and i keep hearing a warning chime. Usually within a few minutes, whatever is causing the problem clears itself, and the gauges initiate (scroll to the top/bottom) and everything works fine.
Yesterday it took me turning off the Jeep and restarting it after nearly 30 minutes to get it cleared. There's no water leaks or anything which was my original thought... and nothing I can see which could be causing this.
I have seen postings on other Jeep boards about such issues, just wondering if anyone else has come across this and what was done to fix? I made an appointment for next Tuesday to get it looked at/hopefully fixed by my dealer.
Thoughts? I'm stumped on this one!!!
I've already had it in for the loose steering, and after doing the recall it helped some... now another issue. Was hoping the Wrangler would be as rock-solid reliable as my Grand Cherokee... and am now getting concerned.
