Lebowski Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Only redeeming feature? Give me a break. You're right, I should have specified better that I was talking about the electronics/infotainment/climate control. I have no qualms about everything else (though I'm keeping my fingers crossed).

journal Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I am having the same problem with an AWD crew. It had a dead battery early in 2012 and I had it jumped. No problems until the battery was dead again in November 2012. It happened twice last month and now every day this month it has had a low battery and needed to be jumped. The vehicle started once today after driving for about 70 miles and letting it sit for 6h. I just drove it for 5 min and now it won't start. I have a service appointment tomorrow. I will post the results as soon as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the software flash mentioned earlier in this thread will cure the issue. Please keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told last night that they were looking for a short as the source of the battery drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car is ready to be picked up now. It had to stay overnight to make sure battery wasn't draining. I will post the final resolution after I pick up the vehicle.

journal Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) problem was thought to be open wire in harness and was repaired. software update was also performed. so far so good. Dead battery again this morning. I called roadside assistance for a jump. I am getting rid of an otherwise perfectly good vehicle as soon as possible. The problem is too unpredictable making the vehicle unreliable. Edited May 8, 2013 by journal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
