A couple years ago jeep had to “quietly” recall all their new Grand Cherokees because computers kept acting weird, like suddenly dying or accelerating uncontrollably. After researching it they found the cause.
They had started using a new compound that year for the windshield wiper blades. Turns out that if you accidentally turned on the wipers while the windshield was dry this compound somehow produced enough static to cause havoc with the computer.
Crazy stuff.
Makes you wonder what might really be happening in the Burmuda triangle. haha
