In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 1.4 yr in service
Went, to start the Jeep. No power to anything, dead. Waited a bit tried again nothing. Called Jeep and they sent a wrecker out. he tried to jump nothing. ended up towing to the dealer. They found no issue. Then Jeep sent this letter to me after a few conversations. They must have a problem they do not want to fix.
