Starts, then immediately stops. Cycling the start/stop button allows it to start again and run. dealership has had it 5 times and still no official diagnosis other than wanting to charge me $500 for changing key fobs. I did not allow them to do that, as costs for fobs and resets are <$250. And they were giving me a "deal".

Took the Jeep into shop here in Winchester VA (Dealer: Safford of Winchester) to diagnose a problem with a very rough and clunky shift. They said I needed a $430 Transmission Flush service and that would resolve the problem. I agreed. However the problem still persist and now I am told that it’s the Rear Differential and it will cost $4350 to repair. For this and other reasons, I do NOT recommend anyone ever go to this dealer for service... they are HORRIBLE,
