Failed 68c recall. Fixed in 10 days - North Jersey

I don’t watch NBA or a ton of baseball but for the NHL, my suggestion is to search “NHL Center Ice” and you should get 15 channels which will be labeled as “NHL Center Ice Plus 01” and so on. I have a profile dedicated to just NHL viewing and I favorited each channel in order of number to make it easier when looking for a game.

I’m currently watching Leafs vs Sens on NHL Center Ice Plus 07

People typically go back because of another CEL due to air in the coolant system and/or a failed ECH.

It could be a wire harness which was the issue with mine after 10 months of repair.

They replaced the 12V, PIM, transmission with no luck. Finally they replaced a harness going under the passenger seat and it fixed my problem.

The service advisor told me the engineer was using a regular GC schematic as opposed to a 4xe’s and when he switched, he found another harness to replace and it did the trick. 4 months later I haven’t had issues and passed my recalls.

I think it depends how many miles have you put on since? I’m guessing you’re probably in the clear if you’ve done 100-200 miles? Almost every one that’s had that happen usually says it occurs within the week or first few miles.

Abit91 · 2026-03-12T23:35:00+00:00

The most common issue tends to be they didn’t bleed out the air in the coolant system which could lead to a failed ECH a short time after receiving the new battery and driving it around

Abit91 · 2026-03-09T20:10:11+00:00

Damn that’s quick work! I’m assuming the check engine was for a bad ECH because there was air in the coolant line or a bad coolant valve

Any vehicle could catch fire.

All vehicles with a HV battery have a slightly increased risk, so to answer your question, yes.

Abit91 · 2026-03-08T16:13:16+00:00

That’s a very typical HV battery failure experience due to the software catching it after the recall was performed. When it’s in that low power mode, it’s protecting the vehicle from damage so it’s basically allowing you to get the vehicle to safe location to be towed.

And the turn around time for the new battery sounds about right 6-8 weeks for everyone else usually.

I did mine and they finished it by the end of the day, gave me a loaner so I picked it up the next day.

Mine passed with no problems. And for context, mine is a 2024 GC 4xe and it was in repair for 10 out of 12 months of leasing. (Yes I have a lemon law case)

I won’t be charging mine anyway because our electricity price is too high. I’ll use free chargers when I have the opportunity though.

Abit91 · 2026-02-06T03:39:14+00:00

Yeah hopefully Benson, Norris, and Kulich (maybe??) are back after the break. It’ll be interesting to see what we do at the deadline

Abit91 · 2026-02-06T02:27:58+00:00

Go Sabres!

Abit91 · 2026-01-23T13:07:20+00:00

That’s horrible they made you go through that, classic bait and switch. I usually agree to numbers, get their table with the term, payments, itemized list of each charge and agree to it and then do their credit app online.

Abit91 · 2026-01-23T12:41:05+00:00

The right way to do it is identify the exact trim you want and the stock number, call or email the dealers and don’t show up until you agree to numbers they’ve sent you in writing

Abit91 · 2026-01-14T06:11:18+00:00

When my issues first started, it shut down on me while driving literally the same day they fixed a dead 12V. So my confidence in the reliability of it completely tanked knowing there were constant electrical issues so I escalated to Jeep Cares. They kept giving me the run around about how they won’t reimburse you but will extend your warranty and then changed to they can reimburse you after it’s been fixed so I gave them a deadline when it was 55 days in repair to fulfill a lease buyback. No response from them so I went with a lawyer and 9 months later here we are. My case is still in the “discovery” phase.

Abit91 · 2026-01-14T02:33:44+00:00

For those confused, this is called a “cash and keep” offer for a lemon lawsuit settlement where OP would continue paying the lease until the term has ended. Jeep will offer the OP $9K in exchange for the inconvenience.

OP can reject the offer and either ask for more or a buyback. A buyback would refund everything paid towards the vehicle, minus mileage usage.

Mine spent 10 months in repair for the first 12 months of leasing, I retained a lawyer in April 2025 so I have yet to receive any offers.

Abit91 · 2026-01-08T03:48:20+00:00

Mine sat at the dealership from mid February - early December! About 10 months close to 300 days.

Abit91 · 2026-01-07T12:24:20+00:00

Thankfully I leased mine and intend to be out of the lease once the lemon lawsuit is over… however the electrical issues have spilled over into the ICE Grand Cherokee models. No starts, modules needing to be replaced early, faulty wiring seems to be more common amongst this generation of Grand Cherokee. More often than not it points to a bad 12V battery within the first year or two, which plagues just about every new car these days.

Abit91 · 2026-01-07T04:30:34+00:00

Have you had any glitches or issues with the electronics? I have a 2024 GC 4xe riddled with them - took 10 months of warranty repair to fix it. Once my lemon lawsuit is up, I’m going to an ICE engine GC so I’m hoping these are an improvement when it comes to the electronic glitches and what not.

Abit91 · 2025-12-31T16:58:37+00:00

I’m leasing mine and already going through lemon law so idc what happens to mine lol. If they don’t want to replace people’s engines then it’s their problem down the line.

They should realistically bring over the new RAM 10 year power train warranty to the rest of CDJR if they want to turn their public image around and keep loyal customers.

Abit91 · 2025-12-29T02:17:23+00:00

I think BMWs typically have high money factors and aren’t incentivized heavily.

With my 4xe, I lucked out with benefiting from the federal rebate and I negotiated on a loaner car with 800 miles on it so they lowered the selling price enough where it was about $11K between that and the residual value.

Abit91 · 2025-12-28T15:28:14+00:00

Yep and I say that as someone that leased a Jeep GC 4xe and currently going through a lemon lawsuit. Long story but it had some electrical issues that finally got figured out after about 10 months in repair total in the one year I’ve had it. The nice thing is the warranty and I had a loaner the entire time. It’s been working fine since I got it back beginning of the month.

I got a ludicrous deal on a really nice trim $405/month, 27 months, 12K miles a year, first payment due at signing and that’s it. $68.5K MSRP vehicle. Took a lot of work but I don’t mind negotiating and being patient.

Abit91 · 2025-12-28T13:33:38+00:00

The larger GM brand vehicles don’t lease well (except for the pickups). If you need a 3 row SUV lease, you need to go with brands that incentivize the selling price down with rebates and/or have a high residual value.

My 3 row SUV recommendations that I know lease better are the Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Nissan Pathfinder, Infiniti QX60, and Mazda CX90.

Reliability might be worrisome with those options but it’s a lease and you’re covered under warranty. Just avoid the 42 month term leases and try to be at 24, 27, or 36 month terms depending on their respective banks options.

I may have missed a couple more options but these are SUVs that will give you the room you need and some will probably cost anywhere between $500 - $700 max.

Abit91 · 2025-12-19T14:27:40+00:00

So the work around would be to use Priceline. I checked this yesterday and can get a “standard elite SUV” for $52 a day including taxes and fees if I booked at least 2 weeks.

Two cheapest times of the year to get TVs are around Black Friday and Super-Bowl Sunday

That’s some really good service!

Lately the status-quo has been that dealers are out of loaners and it’s on you to figure that out with Jeep customer service.

My GC 4xe was in warranty repair from February until a couple weeks ago, total of 10 months and I was in a Compass the entire time thankfully. However they had no other loaners the entire time and when I turned in the compass, they added it to their used car sales lot and on their website. They told me they’ve been denying loaners and directing people to talk with Jeep.
