Consumer Description

RECENTLY BOUGHT OUR JEEP AND HAVE DIMMING LIGHTS DUE TO LOW IDLE AND ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STARTING IT. THERE ARE TIMES IT WONT START UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED 5 MINS LATER AND THAT'S AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AFTER DRIVING IT. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRE HARNESS FROM THE BATTERY. THE LOW IDLE IS MAKING THE LIGHTS DIM THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THAT IT NEEDS A SYSTEM UPDATE THAT CAN COST ROUGHLY 1000 WHICH I DONT HAVE. MY WIFE ALSO SAID WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING HOME THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED ON HER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SHE SAID SHE PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND BACK IN GEAR AND THEN IT ACTED FINE.
