2018 JLUR
I don’t use Start/Stop much but I do want it to work. It wasn’t working due to “Battery Charging” warnings. I had zero issues with the batteries, no bad battery symptoms. So I took it in and the dealer said both batteries are bad. The JLUR was exactly 3 years old with about 22,000 miles. I don’t run any accessories, it’s a 100% factory stock JLUR.
The dealer replaced both batteries under warranty and it fixed the issue. Funny side note is the JLUR was actually 2 days out of the factory warranty. My lifetime FCA OEM warranty doesn’t cover batteries. The dealer didn’t catch it so they ate the new batteries and service (Nice). This would have been a $600 charge.
Batteries should last more than 3 years. All my other vehicle batteries lasted 5+ years. I wonder if FCA batteries, whoever they use, are of an inferior brand?
Can anyone recommend a better battery brand for each battery? Next time I run into this I’ll probably look for better batteries.
So, if your Start/Stop system is acting up it could be a Canary for battery issues. Get it checked out.
