I HAVE A 2008 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE THAT JUST WILL NOT START. NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM. STARTED WITH WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS WHERE THE WIPERS JUST STAYED ERECT AND ONLY WORKED ON HIGH. THIS HAPPENED TWO TIMES 10/1/2010 AND 12/26/2010. ALWAYS STARTED WORKING AGAIN BEFORE I COULD SEE DEALER. ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN EITHER RAIN OR SNOW WAS PRESENT CAUSING A DANGER OF COLLISION. ON MONDAY 2/28/2011 IT JUST WOULD NOT START. INTERIOR LIGHT LIT, COULD NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR ANY OTHER GEAR. COULD NOT GET ANY HELP OR EVEN A CALL BACK FROM DEALER, AND TWO CORPORATE MANAGERS NEVER RETURNED MY CALL AS THEY PROMISED. WHEN I FINALLY SPOKE TO CORPERATE, BOTH CORPORATE MANAGERS WERE RUDE AND CONDESCENDING, DEALERS ALL GOING OUT OF BUSINESS LOCALLY IN NJ BUT NO WILL CONFIRM THAT. LOTS ARE EMPTY. I FOUND SERVICE IN ANOTHER COUNTY. HE FIXED IT. HE CLAIMS IT WAS A WIRE CONTROL MODULE AND MY KEY FOBS ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THESE ARE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS TO OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I KNOW THREE OTHER PEOPLE HOW HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. ONE HAS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. *TR
