going in for various warranty repairs

Why does that fluid look red?
ATF is not red (not in the ZF transmission - it goes in green then turns a tan color after a while - never ever red)

The charging system - you needed another dealership shop. That's a simple diagnosis. But then so few who work at ANY shop these days, and I am referring to ANY shop, not Jeep dealership shops - they just don't know squat about electrical or charging systems or batteries.
I ran into people at a big car even this weekend who were so messed up on batteries and charging systems and even jump starting. They toss batteries in and assume they are fully charged, or they have a dead battery, jump start it, drive it home and assume the alternator has done a good job of fully charging that battery. So wrong.
Sadly even people selling these parts at parts stores don't know any more about them.

i agree with this statement. i will add, that i believe the competency of the people making, selling, and fixing the vehicle all adds up to my total opinion of the manufacturer. some may not agree. if jeep cant get a handle on shotty dealers, they need to find a way. im going to go ahead and say that the general consensus on this forum, by and large, is that all dealership suck. that should say something.. i was told by a mopar technician that the color of the transmission fluid is supposed to be reddish brown due to a dye they use. but that could also be wrong, doesnt really matter now.
