Since I bought the vehicle in February 2025 I have reported the infotainment screen failure/ going black while driving. I immediately reported it to my salesman and had it assessed by my local dealership as well about it. They told me it was up to date and they could not find any codes and sent me on my way. Shortly after I realized the auto start/stop wouldn't engage and I also encountered a random subwoofer boom upon starting my vehicle at times.

Every time the vehicle starts, the driver dash display and radio display reset to a language I do not speak or understand (Italian). The paddle shifter is inoperative (with no option to enable), pedestrian emergency brake (peb) lamp or forward collision warning (fcw) lamp turns on with no way to disable, units of measurement changes to celsius, and numerous other settings reset as well. This is a dangerous situation. I don't understand the meaning of warning messages on the driver display because they are in Italian. It is difficult change the settings because the menus are in Italian. Plus, even if I change them, they all reset the next time the vehicle is started. I have taken it to the dealer numerous times.

This vehicle has been making a noise in the front left side since new (day one). The vehicle has been taken to the dealership about 10 times in attempt to fix this issue. During the last service, the dealership performed multiple tests and concluded that the noise source is the engine motor mounts. If they disconnect the electrical plug of the motor mounts all the noises are gone. Consequently, they proceeded to replace the left front motor mount but unfortunately the noise is still there and concluded that there is no fix available right now. They understand that Jeep needs to redesign the motor mounts and update the software the controls the engine motor mounts. I know a few owners of the same vehicle that have the same issue. Jeep knows about it but doesn't do anything to redesign
