2017 Jeep Compass UNKNOWN OR OTHER

SIRIUS/XM GUARDIAN WEATHER ALERTS ON RADIO FOR AREAS THAT ARE NOT IN YOUR LOCAL AREA ARE A CONSTANT DISTRACTION AND CANNOT BE DISABLED. ALERTS OCCURS FOR WEATHER THAT IS 100S OF MILES AWAY FROM HOME LOCATION. ALERTS DO NOT GO AWAY BY THEMSELVES, THEY HAVE TO BE MANUALLY CANCELLED ON THE RADIO DISPLAY.

AS MANY OTHER OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH THE UCONNECT INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WILL ATTEST, THE PARTNERSHIP WITH SIRIUSXM AND WEATHER ALERTS HAS BECOME AN ACTUAL ISSUE. SAD THAT IS THE CASE SINCE A SIMPLE FIX COULD BE PRESENTED BUT HERE WE ARE AS CUSTOMERS WITH AN UNSAFE AND SOMETIMES NEVER ENDING SUPPLY OF FULL SCREEN POPUPS OF WEATHER ALERTS ON OUR INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. FCA, UCONNECT, AND SIRIUSXM ALL SEEM UNWILLING TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO THE NWS' GEOGRAPHIC WEATHER ALERTS. THESE ALERTS CAN AND HAVE HAPPENED AT A STEADY INTERVAL OF EVERY 30 SECONDS AND THEY NEVER LEAVE THE SCREEN UNLESS YOU CLOSE IT. NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING, TO INCLUDE GETTING NAVIGATED TO A POI, THE POPUPS OVERRIDE EVERYTHING. A SIMPLE FIX FROM CONNECT AND FCA WOULD BE TO PROVIDE A SETTING TO DISABLE ALERTS; ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO HAVE THE ALERT "TIME OUT" AFTER 20 SECONDS. I AM AWARE THE ALERTS COME FROM NWS SO NO FIX TO THE CRAZY GEOGRAPHIC ALERTS TO THINGS 200 MILES AWAY. PLEASE PRESS FCA AND UCONNECT TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE THAT MANY MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING SIGNIFICANT COMPLAINTS ABOUT.

ATTACHED PLEASE FIND MY WORK ORDERS AND THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE CALLED TOW TRUCKS. SINCE DECEMBER 31, 2017, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH CONTINUOUS STARTING ISSUES WITH MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS, I HAVE CALLED (5) TOW TRUCKS SO FAR, THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS SINCE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND CONTINUE TO RETURN MY CAR KEYS BACK TO ME. MY ONLY SOLUTION FOR NOW IS TO CONTINUE CALL TOW TRUCKS, MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I HAVE MAILED, RECORDED AND PROVEN EVIDENCE OF MY STARTING ISSUES, NOW IT IS ALMOST MARCH AND MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS STILL HAS STARTING ISSUES. TWO OUT OF THE SIX TOW TRUCK WORKERS INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE TOWED NEW JEEP COMPASS'S AND THE REASON FOR THE TOWING IS DUE TO STARTING ISSUES. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY RECALLS NEEDED FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I HAVE LOST COUNT ON HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE CALLED FCA, SPOKEN TO MANAGERS, SERVICE MANAGERS AND NOW THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND I HAVE GONE NOWHERE. MY FIRST ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS ON JANUARY 1, 2018, THEY TRIED TO JUMPSTART THE BATTERY NO SUCCESS, I WAITED UNTIL JANUARY 2, 2018 TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS A HOLIDAY, TOOK 4 HOURS FOR THEM TO ARRIVE. SINCE FEBRUARY 18, 2018, MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP "UNREPAIRED" THEY PLAN ON RETURNING ME MY VEHICLE THIS WEEK.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING STARTING ISSUES WITH MY 2017 JEEP COMPASS SINCE DECEMBER 2017, IT IS NOW ALMOST MARCH 2018. I HAVE CALLED SO FAR 5 TOW TRUCKS AND EACH VISIT AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PLEADED WITH THEM REGARDING MY SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT PURSUANT TO THEIR "POLICY" THEY RETURN ME MY CAR KEYS BACK. THEY WANT ME TO CONTINUE CALLING TOW TRUCKS UNTIL THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

THE UCONNECT 8.4 RADIO/HEAD UNIT WILL DISPLAY WEATHER ALERT POPUPS WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN DISTRACTION DUE TO BOTH THE AUDIO AND VISUAL ALERT AND REQUIRING PHYSICAL INTERACTION WITH THE TOUCH SCREEN DEVICE. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THE ALERTS, EVEN AFTER UNSUBSCRIBING FROM THE "FEATURE." JUST AS SCROLLING AND SETTINGS MENUS ARE DISABLED WHILE IN MOTION FOR SAFETY, THERE SHOULD BE NO POPUPS AND REQUIRED INTERACTION WHILE IN MOTION. ATTACHED PHOTO IS FROM LAST SUMMER, BUT ISSUE IS ONGOING ANYTIME ANY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALERT IS ACTIVE WITHIN A ~400 MILE RADIUS.

OWNERS MANUAL SHOWS REVERSED POLARITY ON BATTERY TERMINALS IN THE JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE SECTION. CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL (T46) OUT FOR THE CORRECTED MANUAL FOR VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH APRIL 28, 2017, MY CAR WAS BUILT ON APRIL 29, 2017 AND HAS THE INCORRECT MANUAL BUT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO PROVIDE A CORRECT ONE, SAYING I'M NOT PART OF THE RECALL.
