Uncertain what other vehicle systems this affects. There is no geographic location dependency on the issue. Vehicle operation is pending further understanding of potential risks, and issue correction by fca. Fca customer service (3rd party to fca), claims that there is no over-the-air solution to this update failure. They were unable to reach management level personnel at nearest dealership to generate issue awareness. Dealers claim no awareness or knowledge of issue, and are seeking fees for diagnosis and correction of issue. As the outright owner of the vehicle, what can be done to terminate fca from conducting any further unauthorized vehicle software updates? All purchase terms have been legally reviewed, and there is no binding agreement that allows fca or affiliates to conduct any vehicle modifications - including software changes - without owner permission. It has been learned in the last 24 hours, that this issue has become chronic affecting a large number of vehicles. Wait times in contacting fca customer service are indicative of the extent of the problem, forcing owners to wait on hold for service up to an hour.
