Sounds like a relay sticking. I haven’t looked, but if there is a starter relay in the power distribution center, I would try swapping it with a comparable relay.

any resolution on this issue? mine is doing the same. took it the dealer a while ago and they couldnt recreate the issue. It doesnt do it at every startup, but when it does, I have to shut it off. It always fires right up on the second try
@JeepCares,
I still have not resolved this issue. For the 2nd time, the jeep as at a different dealership and of course it wont duplicate the issue when it is at the dealer. They claim it has no issues
