so i got my jeep out from the dealer on tuesday. wanted to get some wheeling in on sunday (today). i drive all the way down to independence trail and shut my jeep off to give it a break, then go to run the trail and the Sh8t wont start again.

i call chrysler for a tow and their info is all jacked up and said my jeep isnt covered for a tow. so i call gieco and they get me too paved road where we pushed started the heep. now its back at Centenial. man im upset. i wish they sold jks without the electronics

That sucks dude. I had mine do a random no start one time, a few minutes later it started fine and hasn't had trouble since. I know there are some other threads about this, seem to remember some thinking its a fuse issue.

Happened to me once. The dealer reflashed my computer and it's started every since. But, some times it does take to turns on the key to get some spark.

RubyDoo did that the third time out and what i did was to treat her like a bad acting PC. I disconnected her battery for a minute then reconnected her and she worked fine all day. went to the dealer monday and found that she had a bad key and they replaced it.
