Anyone have any repetitive issues with their start/stop idiot light coming on? My wife's 2017 Cherokee started doing it months ago here & there, then one day the damn Jeep wouldn't start. Turned out to be a dead battery.......at only 45,000 miles! I changed it, & now just a few weeks later the light just popped back up along with the check engine light. Anyone have any thoughts here? I'm guessing it's a non-warranty issue? Thanks!

If there was an issue, it would be covered under the 3yr/36k mile warranty, and you're past that mileage at 45k. I'd still go to the dealer and make sure there isn't an excessive power draw.

Depending on the length of time he owned the Jeep and the climate, 45,000 miles may not be abnormal. If he replaced the original battery with a non-AGM battery then it is no surprise that it failed quickly.

But since he hasn’t been back since he first posted he won’t have seen these responses.
