    Glad I don't have remote start. And my foot is always on the brake when I start my jeep

    You have the same circuit board though.

    Something doesn't seem right.... cracks in a circuit board are the root cause to the transfer case shifting into neutral, but ONLY when remote starting? I'm trying to wrap my head around why cracks would cause that under just one special condition. Other than the crack miraculously bridges a circuit that changes the control logic for that one special case, but that seems like a stretch.

    Also begs the question how they know the crack won't propagate any further to cause any other problems.

    "Cracks in the circuit board" sounds like the simplified cover story for the layman. It has to be a lot more complicated than that. The article says only that the NHTA investigation began when a customer remote started his vehicle--not that it only happens on remote starts. I'll try to learn more when I take mine in.
