Yup! Sad thing is it’s across the board in all realms of business…lack of “trained technicians”. All the old guys and gals who used to know how to actually know how to trouble shoot and think out side the box to do repairs (days when we all could actually trust a stealership) are gone. Don’t get me wrong there are onesies and twosies still out there and I give credit to them folks but the majority now are all the folks who seemingly don’t give a •••• about your vehicle but rather come to work to simply collect a pay check. Lone gone are those days of pride and professionalism in workmanship/craftsmanship at dealerships. Now it’s just all about the almighty dollar. How to do more with less and another sad fact is it starts at the top with leadership and finds its way down to the folks we try and put our trust in who are turning wrenches on vehicles. Sorry for the rant I’ll get off my soap box now because it infuriates me how our country has come to this.
Does this message stay on constant or upon start up for you? I get this message but it flashes and then goes away. It never stays on very long.
I doubt they will do a recall. If most of the cases are because batteries are going bad they can deflect the blame. Yes it is a Mopar labeled battery but I doubt they actually manufacture the battery. I’d have to research to verify. That is why most people just replace the batteries themself. Dealers are made to go through the FCA diagnostic steps and who knows if they are even doing it right.
Not going to happen, IMO. Typically it's batteries going, which is what batteries do. Especially in hot places - they die quick.
Keep an eye on the main battery too if it's still the original. Odds are that one may be on borrowed time as well since it'd be the same age as the aux if it hasn't been replaced.
After 12 months my dealer ordered an IBS for my 2020 JL. This is the 4th time they have played with it. Charged or replaced the Aux battery 3 times and AS/S would work for a few days then quit. Search this site for post by Rhinebeck01 which I think is pertinent!
