Consumer Description

I submitted a report about this vehicle on December 4, 2023 (11558276) because the mechanic thought the computer chip failed on this vehicle that had less than 25,000 miles. After waiting 6 weeks for a new chip, the mechanic test drove the car and experienced the same problem. He took the front bumper off and discovered a wire that had the covering worn off. Once this was repaired, it seems to run OK. However, my concern is what caused this wire to become exposed? Is there a defect in the design or sloppy manufacturing? I want to make sure that someone outside of Jeep is aware of this problem.
