My service 4wd light keeps coming on intermittently. My dealership is awful and won’t try to fix it because there isn’t a code and they don’t try to diagnose or fix anything unless their scan tool tells them what to do. I’ve brought it in for this and the awful noises coming from my rear end three times now and they keep giving me the “could not duplicate”. I just opened a case with Jeep. I hope they help. I’m beyond frustrated. The rear end noises are painfully obvious if you just drive it across the parking lot and I even gave them videos and they don’t care.

Some dealerships want nothing to do with warranty work. They don't get to charge their per hour rate and are stuck with a fixed amount from the manufacturer no matter how long it takes to fix.
Shop for a new dealership for your warranty work.

I kept bringing it where I bought it because they were cool and always had a loaner vehicle for me. There is a closer dealer, but they pissed me off by lying to me and saying that Jeep Wave doesn’t give me a loaner vehicle so I’ve never given them a chance.

i have 18000 on my 2020 overland and this just started happening within the last week. Never been in 4wd. it also causes the Forward Collision Warning light to come on and the Park sense to turn off. anyone have any ideas what could be causing this. Dealer wont look at it until Monday the 16th. Just want some knowledge so I dont get bs at dealer.

I just got my 21 Mojave back today after it was at the dealership for 3 days to address the Serv 4WD lite on my dash. They ended up replacing the 4WD Control Unit behind the rear seat. It lasted 40 MI and will be going back next week...it has less than 3k on it

My Rubi had "Service 4WD" followed by "Swaybar disconnect not available" - obviously your Sport won't have the swaybar message. I started noticing these coming on when the "2H" in my 2H-4H-N-4L indicator started flickering occasionally. Over a few weeks it became more frequent. Eventually took it to get serviced (it was a busy summer... Jeep was working hard).

Ended up being a switch on top of the transfer case - I think it was part number 5083138AA. Probably could have fixed it myself but I didn't know what I was getting into at the time and everything was still under warranty. Dealer's service dept was great - Foss - fixed, resolved. Maybe have them check that part.

I've had this issue from the beginning with my 2020 JTR. Been to the dealership 3 times. Last time I took it in with the error lite on so they could scan it. They replaced the front end disconnect cable but the light still comes on. Doesn't matter what condition triggers it. you could be driving in a straight line and it comes on.
Going back for the 4th time this next week. Any ideas on what would trigger this would be helpful.

Have them check the 2WD/4WD switch on top of the transfer case.
