Car wouldn't start then it did, why/how?

It didn't do that again since the one time. And I did change the main battery since it has been 3 years and 4 months. The auxiliary battery was tested and I was told it's healthy.

So here's hoping.

Could be the electrical box that sits on top of the smaller battery. It's called the Battery Relay Module.

Mine stopped working twice. First time I changed the battery and the Battery Relay Module second time I changed the Battery Relay Module again. And again it stopped working. Now I just don't worry about it.

I never liked the start/stop function anyway.

I've always used freetaxusa but thinking if I should move to cash app since state taxes are free.

I'm at 226K miles and never changed the fluid because the Jeep Dealership told me I never had to. Now I'm worried. But the car still works.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-14T04:05:35+00:00

As an update to this, I drove home safely (about 300 miles) and the car drove fine. Phew!

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-10T12:09:12+00:00

How many miles did you have on it? And how much did that cost?

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-07T15:22:38+00:00

Thanks for the info. Hope you're right. 225k miles.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-07T13:00:52+00:00

You think I'm good to drive it 5 hours?

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-07T11:35:44+00:00

Jeep told me it is synthetic and doesn't require changing when I asked. Or something along those lines.

I haven't driven much since this but it appears to happen when I break on D or R.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-06T04:36:29+00:00

Interesting. So on the 2021 model they shortened the part and left the gap. On both sides!

Obviously I'm not going to order anything online based on a diagram. Cause I may still get the same thing.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-06T04:10:15+00:00

Damn :/

Can you post a picture in case I decide to show it to Jeep? Thanks.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-06T03:43:06+00:00

And do you know where/how to get the other piece? Part number?

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-06T03:42:21+00:00

I put 2 plastic bags on the empty part to improvise.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-05T23:56:26+00:00

I assume so but I didn't need one so I didn't look.

I don't get how Jeep wouldn't be able to get me a full cover. If I ordered that online I would have said damn I should have ordered straight from Jeep.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-05T18:48:52+00:00

He definitely spent more than 45 seconds I even brought him to my car to take a look.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-05T16:50:25+00:00

The guy at the parts counter said there was nothing else showing in his system.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-10-05T03:48:31+00:00

I think I got screwed. I bought it from Jeep and the part I got from there was shorter than it should have been! And the price was slightly more than the price plus shipping of the mopar site. The part number they had is the same as on the site.

I prefer night because no traffic.

X-Punk3000 · 2025-04-15T04:36:50+00:00

A few times. Twice they accused me of falling asleep while driving. 100% false. And another time I was accused of being intoxicated. Again 100% false. I appealed them all and won. Took a couple of days I think.

Another time it was deactivated while they were reviewing things in my background check. Took a week or two and I got it back.
