Multimedia screen blacked out, the touchscreen itself works but the screen is black (or blank) we took this to the dealership and they informed us they are not sure how to fix the issue other than replace the whole screen, we had taken the vehicle to the dealership prior stating the screen would cut out or black out. The dealership found nothing wrong. Finally when the screen completely blacked out the vehicle was out of warranty by 1,000 miles and would not be covered under the warranty. We do not have the finances to pay for the replacement. The multimedia touchscreen is the hub of the entire car, we are unable to view anything behind us when backing up the car in reverse as the rear view camera is tied to the screen. This poses a risk of injuring children when backing up. We are also unable to control multiple settings within the vehicle as well as able to view any warning lights that may pop up. The dealer has stated they are aware of similar issues with the same make/model. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership. The only warning we have had is the screen blacking out and reseting while driving and the screen blacking out for extended periods of time before resoring.

1) Back up camera goes blank periodically. A few times the monitor would not come on at all. Frightening when I am using it for directions. 2) Service System 4WD light has come on. Jeep dealer said it is a Disconnect Acetutor (?). I have appt to repair but am concerned it might not be safe to drive. 3) Cannot figure out how to get high beams to automatically turn off when oncoming vehicle is approaching.

While on the freeway, the left speakers went out and then the car slow down and would not accelerate. The car was able to roll to the emergency lane. The safety of myself and my son were at risk due to being on the freeway and the car slowed down without warning. Cars were blowing their horns. Also, the main screen which houses the back up camera and gps is not functioning. This issue was brought to the attention of the Jeep dealer about 2 weeks ago. I was informed that a part is needed. The part is expected around the 15th which is an inconvenience and safety concern..
