My Jeep is 2 years old; was built 3 years ago. It has 8,200 miles and the 8.4 screen. It got new main and auxiliary batteries four months ago.

This week I started getting a blue screen when backing up; it stays on for several minutes, even after I engage into D and start driving forward. After a minute or two, the system reboots itself and goes back to normal.

It's done it twice in three days. Never had this happen before until this week.

Going to the dealer is not an option. It is 30 miles away and half the time they can't replicate squat.

I am especially leery because my JKs went through head units like toilet paper.

Thoughts? Ideas? Fixes?

Thanks in advance.

I'd take it to the dealer while it is still under warranty. In my experience car electronics do not fix themselves, or get any better with time. They get buggier and buggier as time goes on. Get it replaced (or get on the list for replacement) while you still can and start fresh

Thatā€™s a coincidence.

I wonder if FCA did an OTA update that is causing this.

Thatā€™s a good questionā€¦.Iā€™ve had my Jeep about 10 weeks, and this is the second time. First was about a month, second time was a few days ago. If it does it again, Iā€™ll definitely take it in.

My trust in Jeep electrical/electronics is about the same as my trust in Jeep dealers: not much.
