If you’re George, you’ve probably already told everyone this is your summer. On the other hand, with recall after recall, Jeep has yet to have a good summer. Due to current problems, more than 340,000 SUVs must be fixed at Jeep shops. Autoblog says that Jeep has issued two recalls because of problems with the software. The Central Vision Processing/Park Assist Module software, which is in charge of the rear-view camera system, needs to be more stable in some Jeep models. Due to a bug, the system can’t show the picture from the camera on the computer. The problem affects 162,713 cars, including the Grand Cherokee 2022-2023, Grand Cherokee L 2021-2023, Wagoneer 2022-2024, and Grand Wagoneer. The NHTSA report says that Jeep thinks the problem affects all of the cars that are being recalled. The little Jeep Compass also has software problems that keep coming. According to the NHTSA, the software in the Body Control Module in 181,999 cars from the 2022 and 2023 model years is broken. This makes it impossible to change the lighting in the instrument cluster. Even though it may not seem like much, it raises the chance that drivers may not be able to see the group well in some situations. Both recalls will require software changes at the dealer, and Jeep will start telling customers about them on October 3. If Jeep had used changes sent over the air, it would have had much less trouble. These refunds also caused the latest problem with the company. Jeep had to recall SUVs in May because of problems with the airbags and steering columns. In June, they had to recall over 330,000 SUVs because of problems with the suspension. The expensive recalls are happening at a time when Jeep is having trouble selling its cars. In June, the company had too much of more than half of its products, and the Ford Bronco is giving the fan-favourite Wrangler a hard time. During the summer, the average cost to buy one of the company’s cars was more than $53,913, suggesting that high prices make people less likely to buy. The problems with the Jeep recall are a good reminder that planning things right the first time is often cheaper. We can only hope that the issues are fixed quickly so that some Grand Cherokee drivers don’t return to the road and hit mailboxes while their cams don’t work, even though it would be funny.
