Q: Weird starting behavior

asked by

on January 16, 2018

A few weeks ago, the touchscreen on my Jeep became unresponsive. I reset it by holding the volume button and time button. This resolved the issue. Last week, I tried to start car and ignition button read “run” however engine was not on. I turned the car off. When trying to restart, the brake pedal locked. I had to press very hard, but car ended up starting. The electronic system almost seemed like it reset. The heat/ac was off and the external temperature reading was way off. A few days later the check engine light came on. It turned off when I filled up my gas tank. The lock brake pedal/start issue has occurred on and off since then. Today, the Check engine light is back on. It is not flashing. What could be causing this? I’m having a lease return preinspection on Friday so I want to get resolved ASAP with minimal cost of course :)
