  1. Too Cool
    RMV got a reaction from OhareFred in Is this thing a lemon?   
    I checked all solutions, had the dealership here go over all the wiring and grounds.  It was 2 hours in they checked the so called by dealerships new alternator. I was told it was a new part and waited for it to be put in.  The dealership took ownership of the issue thankfully and its been replaced.  I had to replace battery in key fob as soon as I turned it on but that's the only message to pop up so far.  My opinion was based on a lie from the dealership, as if I'd known it wasn't new alt I'd have replaced it asap. Bc out was dead in my yard I had to make sure it wasn't something simple before I had to pay for a tow and shop to fix it.  I was also going to take all costs of fixing it before knowing the dealership had been dishonest in the sale. I get where you're coming from.... but if you feel this post was a waste of your time you didn't have to read or reply. I read each post and brought all of it as possibilities to the mechanic... not that I should feel defensive about asking about the reliability based on what my experience has been this far.  Hopefully my opinion can improve now that I can actually drive it around.

    I'm glad this worked out for you.  I'm also glad to see the seller bear responsibility.  If your experience is similar to mine, you'll enjoy the DJ.  Smooth, powerful, and lots of utility.  Best of luck to you...
     
    Peace.

    Says service park assist, then service awd, then vehicle not in park, battery, check engine, and something about the key not in vehicle. 
    towed it to a dealership in my town. Hopefully with what I told them they can solve it.

    Is there nothing that the seller will do to help you make this right?  If not, here's my advice...
    You sound like you know your way around a car, but if you're going to keep it, you should involve a mechanic to independently work on the car so the seller doesn't say you caused the problem.  You should pay your mechanic and recoup the repair bill from the seller.  Good luck.
     
    Peace.

    I might guess that whoever you bought it from screwed things up royally when they installed the battery and alternator.....or they were trying to hide something from you by doing so.
    Hope you enjoy your next vehicle
    I have a 2013 with 117000 miles on it and it has been a peach not a lemon

    I would return this DJ.  I have 80K miles on my 2011.  These are great cars.  Sounds like the one you have has been abused or damaged in some way.  Good luck.
