My apologies, I am not very technical (aka knowledgeable) when it comes to Jeep terminology. Bear with me lol
I have had the Jeep for 1 month, and recently my dashboard reboots in the morning. The pattern I have noticed is that it only happens when the outside temp is below say 23 degrees Fahrenheit. It is somewhere between 20 and 25 degrees, but I will call it 23. I do not have an engine block heater, I do have the cold weather group. I try to remote start when the temp is really cold, but it happens whether I remote start or push button. The other Jeep functions do not seem affected by it at all. The Sirius keeps playing, the lights stay on, no rough engine running. As I am driving, the screen behind the steering wheel will shut off and reboot itself over and over while the hands on the RPM and speedometer seem to be stuck in the OFF position until the engine temp bar hits just below the halfway mark. Roughly 3/4 of the way up between that half mark and the line immediately below it. When the engine warms to that temp, the console reboots itself one more time, the RPM and speedometer hands swing up and back, and everything is normal for the rest of the day. The first few times the process fixed itself within 2-4 miles of travel. This last time I went about 13 miles before it set itself, but it was much colder.. like 14 degrees that day.
Has this happened to anyone else and/or is it something to be "concerned' about.. meaning should I contact my dealer to have it checked out?
