I received and upgrade on the navigation system that was supposed to address the navigation issues. They recommended going into dealership and they contacted the dealership also.
Update from : Contacted Jeep customer service and received a prompt response. We are 67 and 71 and have navigation for a reason, we need CORRECT guidance. Different navigation vendor they tell me, it is crap. We took same route with our Chrysler 200 in October and had no trouble with our navigation on it sailed right thru on 80 no problems no recalculating or anything. Chicago was a nightmare wanted to take us off of 80 on int 65 to Indianapolis. Took a trip to Pennsylvania a straight shot from Moline, Il to Strousburg, PA on I 80.
Speed limits aren't right and takes you off route occasionally and when you follow exits she will say recalculating and follow up with your destination is on the right so you never know what to believe or listen to. We paid an additional $700 for this crappy navigation.

If you're one of those hundreds of thousands of Chrysler drivers with potentially insecure cars, the patch may be the best option you've got. "It seems like our attacks don't work anymore," he says, a little uncertainly. Miller says he's briefly tested the patch, and it appears to fix the flaw he and Valasek used. With repeated scans of the Uconnect network and an algorithm sometimes used for tracking and counting wildlife, Miller and Valasek estimate that there are as many as 471,000 vulnerable Chrysler vehicles on the road. Owners of those latter vehicles should update, too. But Miller and Valasek say they've scanned Uconnect's Sprint-enabled network and found other hackable vehicles, including 2015 Jeep Cherokees, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokees, and 2015 Chrysler 200s. In a statement to WIRED, Chrysler listed several 2013-2014 models of Dodge Ram, the 2013-2014 Dodge Viper, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Dodge Durango as all vulnerable to the Uconnect attack. "If consumers don't realize this is an issue, they should, and they should start complaining to carmakers." They're also sending a message: "Cars should be secure," says Miller. That's how they were able to wirelessly disconnect the Jeep's engine with me behind the wheel, and later disable the brakes to send me rolling into a ditch.Īt the Black Hat security conference next month, they plan to publish a portion of that exploit to allow for peer review of their work. For 2014 Jeep Cherokees in particular, Miller and Valasek have extended their attack to the vehicle's CAN bus, the network that controls functions like steering, brakes, and transmission. The carmaker posted a notice to its website informing its customers about a "software update to improve vehicle electronic security." What it didn't explain in that cryptic post is that the update includes a patch designed to prevent the attack developed by security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, which can compromise those Uconnect computers-an optional upgrade feature that doesn't come standard in the Chrysler vehicles-through their cellular Internet connection to tamper with dashboard functions and track their GPS coordinates.
Last week, Chrysler quietly released a software update for a collection of its vehicles that have an internet-connected computer feature in their dashboard known as Uconnect. Luckily for Jeep owners, there’s still time to avoid sharing that experience. Though it was just a demonstration, I learned that trying to drive a vehicle as it’s paralyzed by faraway hackers isn’t pleasant. Earlier this month, a pair of security researchers used a wireless attack to disable a Jeep Cherokee as I drove it on a Missouri highway.
