My 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee will restart itself after I push the on/off push button to turn off the vehicle. It does this 1-2 times a week. I have not had issues with the remote start, it only does it while I’m the car and manually turn the vehicle off, restarts within a few seconds. I have tried to recreate it, thinking I was doing something wrong, nothing happens, it’s just random. Dealership has not found an issue yet. ---

See if there is a software upgrade available. ---

indeed some newer cars have “Boeing 737 max syndrome” ☹ tens and hundreds of lines of code written to give customers features they not necessarily asked for, yet competition is fierce and Quality Assurance is something in the back-burner… ---

Yet another reason not to have a car with push button ignition, to my way of thinking. We never had these issues with simple metal keys and turnkey ignition switches… ---

Start keeping records in case you decide to report this to the carmaker. See how-to in the owners manual. ---

Find a Jeep forum and post this there. You’ll find a lot more owners that might know about your problem. ---

And, as the years pass, the possibility of being able to buy a vehicle that _doesn’t_ have “push to start” is becoming less likely, on an ongoing basis. Some manufacturers are able to handle that technology with minimal problems, but apparently Chrysler isn’t one of them. 🤔 ---

I’d get used to it if I owned a car with it, but it was a mystery to me when I rented a car with it. Also discovered I didn’t know how to put gas into that car! Rental agencies should provide a card with that basic info.
