Have the battery load tested.
It's a 2012 so may have been installed 2011 and batteries
in Mopars typically last 4 - 6 years if you have a good one.
When things get erratic that should be the first assumption.

-
How old is your DJs battery?
-
Press the TUNE and BROWSE controls at the same time and hold
to reboot Radio/Uconnect.
-
ESS or start stop FCA vehicles are equipped with a AGM battery and heavy duty starters .
at least that's what my Jeep Cherokee has on the build sheet.

No radio retains presets and nothing else but fault seems to disappear.
-
You do realize that they have a "TIMED" function , in other
words they shut off as part of the battery saver logic in the DJ.
-
It could be as simple as disconnecting the battery at the Negative jumper point for 10 - 20 minutes
to reboot the CanBus.
Another point to check and clean the terminals at the TIPM (fuse box under the hood).

Has any answer been found? I recently bought a brand new 2016 Dodge Journey V6 and when I fill completely up, it always reads 7/8 full and never full. I also only get around 200 city mile range and 350 highway range.
This typically normal on the DJ it can be sometimes cured with
work on the the gas evap system venting being replaced.

Yes it is normal , the power steering pump draws the rpm down
and the computer compensates to prevent stalling /rough idle.

Your check engine light being on solid is ok until you have the codes
read , without the codes you have no clue where to start trouble shooting.
As far as TPMS alerts first thing to do is bring all tires up to spec reading
as posted on the label attached to drivers side door frame and try driving around ,
it may take 2 - 3 driving cycles.
-
Is there any noise associated with the pushing of the button?
It may be the door controller/solenoid , compare the sounds
to the still operating passenger door as they should be the same.
-
Unless they have changed it recently that cap covers the emergency release
for the "Park locking solenoid".

Laptop , desktop ,Samsung tablet and my Moto G!

What Bramfrank said^^.

Dave have you watched the youtube video of a Trailhawk and a Wrangler doing
serious offroad?
It's posted over there and it does exactly the same trail as the Wrangler.
-
Disconnecting the battery for 15 - 20 minutes resets the CanBus computer
network which controls all the primary functions in the DJ , it may resolve
electrical faults/gremlins but not always.
A bad battery causes many weird faults on todays computer controlled vehicles
that is why it should be load tested as part of fault finding particularly if you
don't know how long it has been in service.
If you goto FCA Chrysler website you can enter your VIN# and if there are recalls
outstanding it may well tell you but a dealer must do the work irregardless.
-
That is what is called "LIMP" mode.
2009 it may be just electrical with regards to battery or recall
that has not been performed for 2009 models.

Hands Free option
in Accessories, Modifications
Posted
You don't provide much info such as if you have
phone buttons on your steering wheel.
If you do then your DJ was equipped with BT for
hands free operation.
It should be as simple as "pairing" phone to radio.
