    bigtsr got a reaction from Shawn855 in Vibration between 35 & 40 mph   
    Common complaint among many DJ owners.
    My personal experience (based on my DJ) is that
    it shifts into 6th gear at about 63 km/h or around 40 mph
    for fuel economy and if you accelerate slowly without
    either double tapping or a solid push of the gas pedal
    it will lug the engine to achieve the speed you want.
    I use manual mode sometimes in the city and run around
    in 4th gear in traffic where our limits are 60 km/h / 40 mph.

    Sparkyssxt this is not the way the ignition works on the 2011 and up.
    According to past posts.
    If you start the DJ then get out and walk away it can still be driven
    until the first time it is turned off ( there may be a timed sequence for auto off)
    but I have not tested.
    So in theory you could walk away someone could get in drive it backwards
    hit the fence/whatever and either stall it or timer sequence happens - hence
    mystery movement/damage.

    Well that is what the "volume control" is for for "incoming calls".
    Outgoing is a product of your speaking voice , ambient in car noise
    and microphone placement.
    "i cant hear who is calling me but they can hear me" is what was posted.

    I believe if your a automotive entusiast or live in an enviromentally crappy air
    quality (next to a steel mill) this would be the way to go , having said that I
    apply "Nu-Finish " polymer 2x a year from the day I pick them up and I have
    never clay barred any of my cars.

    I agree with Webslave on the subject I think in the long
    run it could turn out to be expensive frustrating experience.
    Would have-should have bought a Jeep!

    It's been reported before and the usual result is that
    the radio black box has to be replaced.
    Make use of that warranty and get to a dealer.

    Have you tried disconnecting the DJ battery for 10 - 20 minutes?
    The same windshield washer motor is used for the front and rear
    windows they just reverse the rotation on the DC motor.

    I think these posts are using the diesel and they do develop
    shuddering problem with acceleration if the EGR valve is
    starting to fail ,previous posts have pointed to this problem.

    bigtsr got a reaction from verse in Up and down tactometer   
    Yes it is normal , the power steering pump draws the rpm down
    and the computer compensates to prevent stalling /rough idle.

    Try your second fob.
    If that fails disconnect negative battery post at jumper point for 10 - 20 minutes
    re-attach see if problem clears up.

    Yes 20L/100km is rotten mileage.
    It depends on several factors such as geography,temperature,vehicle weight and
    least but not last your driving style in any given traffic situation.
    AWD does worse than FWD as a rule.

    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.

    Welcome to the forum.
     
    Tell us about your DJ.
    What year is it?
    Is it the original battery and have you had it load tested?
    As for the German I have never seen such a problem posted .
