I picked up my Grand Wagoneer Series III 2 weeks ago, and yesterday it wouldn't start. Battery voltage was at 10.1v. I put my charger on the batter and my charger was acting funny. The needle was bouncing, so I jumped it instead and watched the meter climb to 14.5v. I drove it for a bit, parked in the drive way and with the engine off and the vehicle in "run", I adjusted a bunch of settings. I assumed that having the fobs near the vehicle (always parked in the attached garage) was activating the lights and running boards and that may be draining the battery. I shut all this stuff off. Then I tried to start the truck and it was dead again. I jumped it, let it run for a bit, shut it off and successfully started the vehicle. This time I got an error message stating that the air suspension needs to be serviced.
The Uconnect in my truck has been IMO poor. It lags. It's confusing. Weird little features only work when they want to. I am not a fan.
The phone app will lock the doors, and remote start the vehicle. However the vehicle health report, mileage, location, etc, do not update in the app.
My drive train clunks when I turn right from a stop.
I thought the key fobs would be tied to a specific profile like my Durango Citadel was. It doesn't appear to be so.
I set the mirrors to auto fold in after you shut the vehicle off. The mirrors do not auto fold out after you put the vehicle in drive.
The passenger side running board has stayed down a few times.
Sometimes when I approach the truck the lights come on and the running boards descend. Other times they do not and I don't understand why. I have tested different scenarios and I can't get the operation to repeat consistently.
There are lots of high points to this vehicle. The design and features are pretty amazing. If I wasn't having these problems I would be very happy.
Now we will see how jeep handles this. I have owned a few higher end vehicles be for this one. I had a Durango CItadel with every option. It wasn't cheap and it was sold to pitched to me as a high end luxury vehicle. When it had issues they treated the situation the same as they would have with a Compass. Now, in the rare event there is an issue with a Merecedes they are overly accommodating when resolving the issue. They come pickup the vehicle and leave you with a loaner of the same quality. I hope this Wagoneer program from Jeep is a little more like Mercedes. After all I paid Mercedes money for this vehicle.
