My jeep started with an error 'service shifter' on the control panel shortly after that all the codes started popping up. Steering wheel, tire pressure, etc. I took it to the dealership they have replaced the body control module but unfortunately the codes have not cleared.

Driver side air conditioner blows hot air even when temp is set as low as 63 degrees while the passenger side works normally. Service rep at dealership informed me that this is a common problem with jeep vehicles. Was told repairs could be over $1000. If jeep knows that this is a reoccurring problem, why should i have to pay for their error?
