On Sept 5th, I had a small parade, used Jeep regularly,
Never had issues.
I bought in March 2019 even though its 2018 brand new
Next day, Sept 6th, Jeep brakes were stiff, very hard to press, Lights, radio everything had power
Trying to start the car, it would crank for about 5 seconds, try to turn over to start, then just stop and then a note on dash would say "for safety please wait 52 seconds before attempting to start again"
Then it would countdown
1. I read about pressing hard on brake -- Nothing
2. Tried to do a few other things-- like test battery (battery strong),
Finally had it towed to dealer on Labor Day
It was at dealer, Tuesday, Wednesday then finally on Thursday around 12 pm they called to pick up
(Never got call from dealer on Tues)
Wednesday they called afternoon wondering if I used a tuner
Thursday, the text I got, NO FUEL, Replaced the PDC
So when I got to dealer asked them , Why wouldn't you just change the fuse that was causing the issue and not the whole PDC. He said because the fuse(s) weren't working?? LOL huh? I laughed to myself
Actually, I'm ok with a new PDC if in fact it was NEW.
(my original service guy wasn't there he was at lunch)
I think what really happened is since it was there 2 1/2 days they had to do something MORE than simply replacing a fuse to save face. Probably didn't know what was wrong or which fuse.
Maybe I'm wrong
I'll tell you this. After warranty expires-- I will take to my Jeep guy that customized my Jeep not back to the dealer.
Hope this helps people in the future
