The driver door faux wood appliqué squeaked badly when driving. The door was removed, the appliqué was welded too deep and the heat stakes rubbed the door substrate which caused the noise. I let them silicone spray the bosses. I took pictures and sent an email to the assembly plant quality manager that this was a systemic issue present on two other grand cherokees at that dealership and described the assembly issue and steps to correct the noise. My email was reviewed by FCA headquarters Jeep Brand Manager and is now a standard all doors with appliqués get lubrication on the back of the heat stakes prior to install to stop squeaks.

ESS system reporting "system not ready" diagnosed as needing an update to computer, took 7 days to figure it out. That did not correct problem, took it back and then they found 2nd defective battery in under 2yrs, replaced with a new battery. Worked fine for two days and started not working again. DIY fix was to fully charge new battery and ESS has been working since then. Apparently dealer installed a battery that was not fully charged. Gas nozzle kept shutting off constantly when trying to fill tank. Fuel filler neck was replaced once already. Found out that initial fixed was done improperly and kinked a line. 2nd repair seems to be working
