Started off about a year ago with the driver side door lock button not working. Few months later, the mirror adjust control quite working. As of this passed weekend, now the remote start doesn't work and stereo stays on when I shut her down. You'd think these engineers would design a more robust connection for a Jeep.

Time to break out the magnifying hood and pin tools :mad:

Sometimes I get triangles on both mirrors after a remote start or after the passenger door shuts. A problem of bent pins.

Completely sucks, and I agree, the engineers to do better. This however is why I insisted on a "5 infotainment screen and a Sport with minimal electronics, since its for an off-roading vehicle with Fording capabilities. That said, I hope Jeep warrantee makes it right for you and you don't get frustrated to the point of wanting to bail on Jeep products. Hang in there.

I read a lot about this and was concerned I’d have this issue too so I had thought why not try a spray on both mating sections of the connectors that would lubricate the pins and holes and also help improve connectivity.

I use this spray and it feels so much better putting the connector together. They just slide together with ease.

Yea. I never really complain about anything but the door connectors are an issue with me. My question is, why did they not just use the same connector as the JK? We have a JKU as well and the connector is much more sturdy. Like the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Lol
