Do you live in a place where you can return a new car within 3 days or anything? If so, I might take that one back and get another one.
it is common with aux battery dying. Had mine go out at 4k miles but reading your later post you said the dealer charged your battery. That's a mistake because our dealer told us once aux battery has to be replaced then main battery has to be replaced as well. So go back and get it replaced.So Wednesday June 10 I traded in my 2014 BMW 335i and bought a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Willys manual transmission, in less than 24 hours later and only 98 miles on the Jeep it won't start. The alarm won't disarm, the fob won’t unlock the doors and did I say it won't F*ing start. I am so mad and disappointed with Jeep. In the 3 years and 42 thousand miles the BMW never left me stranded. It seems like an electrical issue to me Where my Jeep won’t recognize the key.
Is this a common issue or did I buy a lemon?
I took it to a different dealer this time hopefully they can get it sorted out.
Dang. Sorry to hear of the troubles. I’m looking at purchasing a new Willys but I always have doubt in the back of my mind after reading posts like this. My wife daily drives a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I’ve had to replace the oil cooler after it cracked one winter, I’ve had abs wires corrode in half and currently I have a new radiator sitting in the garage for it. I always told her I wouldn’t buy another Jeep and then I found myself test driving wranglers for myself. What’s wrong with me? Anyway hope they get your Jeep sorted out and your experience gets better.
Dont let one experience ruin it. yes there are some wranglers with issues out there. but to be honest i have one of the first JLU 18 wranglers ive had one issue on it and it was fixed within a week at the dealer ship and has been fine since. every car manufacture will have problems with a couple hundred or even a few thousand when making millions of them. if you like the way it feels driving and if you smile when you see it. then go for it.
hopefully that's it. keep us updated. first ive heard of the RF unit being replaced. i'd also ask the new dealer if they where to change the aux battery would they recommend changing the main batt at the same time. If so, then ask them to swap that out since the other was just replaced. This should give you piece of mind.
it sounds more than just the battery. Could be harness. have them buy it back if you can or get in another wrangler. Once electrical issues start they don't end.
