    Well if the dealer can’t figure it out....find a new dealer

    Maybe because it was the first model year? Got it in July of 08. That’s why I have the lifetime power train warranty. Trying to sell the model....

    There is nothing in my warranty paperwork about a certain value (just looked at it) It does limit the mileage to 999,999 and expires in October 2091, so I guess it’s not truly lifetime cause I plan to live forever. Anything drivetrain related is a separate lifetime warranty and has no deductible as long as it’s inspected every 5 years (it has been) if they want to give me a new Jeep ( like the 2019 Cherokee Latitude plus 4x4 loaner they gave me to use, just not white) I’d do it in a heartbeat, title for title, right now. Not in love with this Dodge. I’ll let you know what they say.... BTW I always wanted to learn French.....lmao

    So, took my 09 V6 3.5 with 90,500 miles to the dealer with the following issues: ENGINE: 1-vibration felt throughout car when warmed up in drive. Goes away if you shift into N.... 2-loosing antifreeze, no puddles or wet hoses 3-mpg dropped to 13 mpg. HVAC System off, not using remote start, not cold out, longer trips (20/30 mins at a time. Got 16-17 mpg same routes Plugs were changed at 80K HVAC SYSTEM: 1- hissing noise in car when compressor cycles-low on Freon. AGAIN 2- AC compressor turns on even when entire hvac system is off-why? ELECTRICAL: 1- hands free system going nuts. Ask it something it wants to change everything to French. Constant shifts between connecting and disconnecting phones during calls Dealer loaner car,2019 Jeep Cherokee with 500 miles on it. So, if I fix EVERYTHING, it’s going to cost what?? OOOHHHH YEAAAA. I bought the Lifetime Warranty, it’s going to cost no more than $100, plus whatever gas I use in the loaner. Gotta love that warranty!!!

    This has been covered to death. All your answers can be found by searching radio upgrade or similar. in short yes it can be done but you lose heat controls,etc and it costs $$$ good luck!

    When you say there are only 4 connections, how are we supposed to know how stupid you are? Maybe you missed two, wouldn’t be the first time someone missed something
  7. OhareFred
    Isn’t the 3.5 a 6 cylinder? I know my 09 is a 6 and pretty sure it’s a 3.5, but might be wrong. If not you missed 2 plugs....

    JW, just so I got this right: You bought a car you knew was wrecked, didn’t get a CarFax report before you plunked down your money to see how bad, knew it needed work and is at least 10 years old (I got my 09 in July of 08) and expected to make money on reselling it? Seems pretty optimistic. That being said, my has been far from problem free, but I purchased a lifetime warranty AND got the free lifetime power train warranty because I’m the original owner. OK, none of that bullshit helps you. Check the negative battery cable. The sensor at the end corrodes and fails. Check the voltage at the jump terminals, see what you have. Anything less than 13+, start looking at the battery. Also, there has been occurrences of the HF Module draining the battery. Try removing fuse 131 in the fuse box on the passenger side fuse box. Good luck!

    Not true on the AWD. BUT another reason for a extended warranty! LOL

    I’ve done a complete delete everything from the car, then the phone, turn the phone off for 2 mins, repair everything. It finds the phones, connects, pairs, then keeps switching between the hands free and phone constantly while talking. Not the most pressing issue, so it will wait till I take it in for something else. It’s a DJ, something’s gonna break....lmao
  11. OhareFred
    Your pressing the wrong button? Your battery is dead? Your at the wrong car? sorry, couldn’t resist. Like JKeaton said we need more info. Do any of your locks open with the remote? How about the door lock button? Do you hear any noise at the tailgate when you try? Are all your tail lights, license plate lamps working? Let us know...
  12. OhareFred
    I’m having the EXACT problem with my 09. I figure my BT module is going bad. I’ve done the delete, repair routine several times, no change. I’ll take it to my dealer when it’s time to get the timing belt changed. I have a lifetime warranty so not worried, it will cost my $100. Just curious, what kind of phone? I have IPhone 7’s....
  13. OhareFred
    One of the dumbest statements I’ve heard all week came from someone with a 6 year old car crying because something broke, but i’ve had a slow week.
  14. OhareFred
    Can’t help you with the cost of plugs,etc. but who gave you the line of crap about the alignment? I get a 4 wheel alignment every couple years.....about $120 US
  15. OhareFred
    Cool video! Gonna try this this weekend.....
  16. OhareFred
    Good luck with your search
  17. OhareFred
    Kinda complicated. You need special tools. Since it’s a sealed transmission , no real need to check it unless you have issues. I leave it it to the dealer myself. I have a lifetime power train and extended warranty so I’d rather pay to have them do the PM and be covered if something goes wrong.
  18. OhareFred
    One post is enough. See your other post

    I believe that the 2010 can add the hands free module to the UConnect system if you have the buttons on the radio, which you say are there. I know that’s what my dealer did with my 09. Newer models you can’t do add it. You don’t get the mic in the mirror, but the external mic is small and works great. You can purchase the kit from MOPAR.COM and install it yourself, but the dealer needs to add the sales code.

    In my Jeep I used Mopar Kickers. Easy swap ( in my Cherokee anyway), direct plug and play. Didn’t change anything else and the difference is night and day. Maybe give them a look....
  21. OhareFred
    Is it causing other issues? If all that’s going on is a short ding, I’d leave it alone myself. However, if your having issues with window operation, mirrors, or door locks check the wire loom going into the door. As mentioned, 09’s had a recall for the wiring that goes into the door. Not sure if 10’s are in that or not.

    I did not mention Carmax in my original reply, I thought maybe you purchased it there and were confusing the two. I am not irritated. You tell us you engine light is on along with ABS and Brake lights go on and off. You offer no codes or other information. How is anyone supposed to guess at your problem over the internet? I gave you the only answer you could expect with such little information. since you apparently not aware you can do this, take it to AutoZone or some other parts store in your area, have them read, but not delete, the code. If they delete the code it will not help whomever you decide to let work on your car. Let’s us know what it is and perhaps you can be given more help. Since we have no idea where you are, it’s a bit difficult to suggest places to go for repairs. I myself use Fields CJRD in Glenview,IL.
  23. OhareFred
    So take it back and tell them they did not fix your original issue. confused on your warranty, is it a Chrysler MaxCare warranty or not? What does Carmax have to do with it?
  24. OhareFred
    When he changed the brakes did he use a brake tool and twist the rear calipers in? If not he damaged the calipers and they need to be replaced. I am not sure if that would keep it from going out of park, but if the pedal won’t go down maybe.

    Sorry, I used Weather Tech in channel on my Jeep. They fit perfectly and are not coming out. Good luck with your hunt!
