Hey Everyone,
Just registered on the forums. Had a 06 Dodge magnum sxt for 8 years and it died last week, checked out and loved the Jeep renegade. Leased the latitude 4x4 earlier this week.
5 days later, remote locking doesn't work, and internal lock controls are non-responsive. remote locking and unlocking button flashes the lights on the jeep, so i know a signal is going out, but locks don't move at all. Trying to use the in cabin buttons also does absolutely nothing. Called dealer and they said it might still be in ship mode. Based on the research I found on on these forums, the lock issue has nothing to do with ship mode, but ill take it back this friday and see if they can resolve it. if they can't, or don't install new firmware, ill go the battery disconnect route I guess.

Also tried to clear the ship mode with lights on off position, turn signal on right turn, and holding the high beams for 10+ seconds. does nothing.
Second issue I'm hoping you guys have insight on is, in or around 3rd gear, the jeep "transmission" ? starts making a weird noise, like vwooooooooo. Sound like my motorcycle when I let off the throttle, except I'm still on the gas pedal. the only way I can describe the sound is a weird zipper like noise thats very distinct from normal engine noise. Almost like I'm driving over the grooves not eh side of the road to let you know your about to crash. Is this normal ? Do you guys get the same noise ?
Last thing I noticed now is that I can't turn off recirculate on the climate controls. I've hit the button, held the button down, caressed the button, and **** near licked it. anyone know how to turn it off. ?
Thanks Guys ! Looking forward to my Jeep getting all these things resolved in the near future and sticking around these forums for much longer.
