2017 Jeep Renegade

The vehicle instrument panel begins flashing multiple warning lights while driving and subsequently while stopped such as emergency brake on, key fob left the vehicle, fuel engine, TPMS, etc. All of these occur while the vehicle is moving. While coming to a stop the power steering pump also becomes inoperative, the shift indicator (PRND) is blinking, and it is impossible to move the shift lever. The vehicle will not shut off until the battery is disconnected. The problem seems to manifest when ambient air temperature exceeds 80 Fahrenheit and the vehicle has been previously operated.

My 2017 Jeep Renegade has had issues with electrical failures for several years off and on. At times it will state that parking lights, headlights, and brake lights are not working and they really are. The radio will also go very loud then quiet or quit working all together. The air conditioner will stop working randomly and then start again. On another occasion it would not go out of park, the wipers would not shut off, and the windows were not working. It usually always randomly resolves but always occurs again. There is a known recall for the software which causes these exact issues but this VIN is not included. I have video of the malfunctions if needed.
