2385 mi Found exterior signal light operation (front, possibly rear) non existent when using lane change feature operation, even though assistant confirmed dash light indicator showed operation from within vehicle. (Discovered this while viewing suspect vehicle in rear view mirror - while leading suspect vehicle.) Located a deserted area, had assistant placed at roadside while driving toward and away from same, observing front and rear signal light operation. Confirmed faulty operation. Subsequently, placed (reflective) foil strips at outside mirror indicator lights to monitor operation when driving alone - intermittent number of flashes observed - not always 3 flashes and confirmed with dash light indicator operation as well. Reported concern(s) to Dealer, however they could not duplicate operation within shop. (Also contacted FCA Canada with concerns about safe/unsafe operation of vehicle.) Was advised to monitor light operation and report any further instances of faulty operation. Problem seems to have corrected itself.

Blind Spot Monitors not working. Repairs made prior to me acquiring the vehicle *used from another car dealer who sells all models. The rear bumper must have been removed for a service or replacement at the dealer I purchased it from (Carmax) or prior to their having it. Dealer said the BSM modules were installed incorrectly *backwards which caused the false readings. No components replaced on service was to correct this issue.

Just before I sold Jeep I had to have dealer install a new window actuator for passenger door. Brought them a thermostat switch for air conditioner, difficult to replace behind glove box. Adjustable speeds not working on the fan switch. Also put in new wiring harness behind it because it gets really hot and melts sometimes. Only thing left unrepaired was the driver door lock button. It would unlock the doors but not lock them. You have to replace the entire driver door panel if the switch goes bad. Mechanic offered to do it for $400, but already spent $1,800.
