I've had my JGC Overland for almost 2 weeks now. Unfortunately, the Jeep dealer (name purposely withheld!) failed to provide me a spare key fob. I've found a place (https://ikeyless.com/vehicles/Jeep/Grand+Cherokee/2011/1004135/) that offers fobs for $100. How much should the dealership charge to cut and program a new fob?

Since he didn't provide you with a second fob, and you are paying for one yourself, he should cut and program it for nothing.

'zero...they cannot be "reprogrammed". Programming the fobs is a one-time deal which is why you want a pristine new one, regardless of source, when you need a replacement or an extra.

Why would you even consider paying for one? Go back to the dealer and demand a second one. You aren't buying a vehicle that is ten years old.

No, but it's not new, so unless somewhere in the contract it clearly states it comes with two fobs, there is no requirement for then to supply two.

If it was new, demand new fob, as it is used, this one falls on the OP to buy a second fob.

Greetings,

Since the JGC has been purchased used, you can check with your local state requirements if you are suppose to be provided with 2 sets of keys under the used sales agreements or used car guarantee laws.

The dealer is most likely siting the as is clause. Which in their case makes them look like a idiot by not providing a quality consumer relationship over a couple of bills.

Best for now.:)

Key fob update:
Good news: Jeep dealer successfully programmed the fob! Bad news: it only works for locking/unlocking, remote start and power liftgate. It will NOT let me drive with it. The "keyless-go" feature does not work. The truck doesn't recognize the key is present so it won't fully start. Kinda sucks. Unless there's a way to override the system to make it recognize this new fob, i will probably need to get another one from the dealership ?
