Default Attention all 2012 Wrangler owners with Remote Start and Auto Temp Control......

Hello all, Im new to this forum and this is my 3rd Jeep wrangler... 2012 JKU Rubicon with all the bells and whistles. DOES your 2012's a/c light come on when it wasn't on when parked.. Im doing a survey let me know the results (Picture with the a/c light off is parked).. (picture 2 with the light on is later after remote start).. same settings but that little orange light comes on when i get in.. and does not go off automatically, EVERY DAMN TIME I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF!.. in either of the duct settings (not auto ), in any and all temp settings and in all fan speed settings. Can every one set there jeeps to those settings... park it and remote start, open the door and let us know what happens!!

Yes mine also does the same, I started the other thread! But a survey was a good idea... Went to the dealer today! No Success! They still say this is normal even though another 2012 on the lot with identical options does not have this issue! Come on Chrysler!! Let's come up with a fix! This cool the box reason is ridiculous!!

Just for everyone's information.. The A/C will not kick on when the outside temp is below 50... For those of you in colder states! This will become an issue even more when winter ends! Guys if your having this issue, make sure you let your dealer or chrysler know. No matter what,this is by no means a " normal " occurrence! Come on man!!! It's normal for the a/c to come on with remote start only? Even when it wasn't on? Right??? No way

Remote start? Auto temp control? When happened to the good old Jeep? You know, the ones with just power windows and cruise control??

Jeez.
