The fact remains s that is an issue that begins at the factory.

Driving my jeep to work and a bunch of warning lights come on - air bag, power steering, camera, front collision detection, abs system, parking brake, etc. I also lose power steering. Mechanic cannot find cause and all modules appear to be working - codes clear and return after about 30 miles of driving. Car isn't safe to drive and has been in the shop for 11 weeks with no answers. It is about to come back to sit in my driveway - and I will have to continue to make payments on a car that isn't drivable and may never be again. Since electrical issues seem to be prevalent with the vehicle - there should be a recall to protect driver safety.

The UConnect screen has not worked properly on the vehicle since September 2023. Initially the screen would be black or have lines through it when the temperature outside the vehicle was above 80 degrees and during daytime hours. Now the screen is black at all times. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The screen is the only way to control numerous functions including the radio, climate control, backup camera, speaker settings throughout the vehicle, and basic vehicle settings such as time, etc. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by the dealer as well as numerous other individuals who own the same vehicle make and model. Jeep states that the issue is not covered under the warranty, although the inability to use the features listed above poses a safety issue while operating the vehicle. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

I submitted a report about this vehicle on December 4, 2023 (11558276) because the mechanic thought the computer chip failed on this vehicle that had less than 25,000 miles. After waiting 6 weeks for a new chip, the mechanic test drove the car and experienced the same problem. He took the front bumper off and discovered a wire that had the covering worn off. Once this was repaired, it seems to run OK. However, my concern is what caused this wire to become exposed? Is there a defect in the design or sloppy manufacturing? I want to make sure that someone outside of Jeep is aware of this problem.

We experienced an electrical failure while driving the Jeep Renegade. We had no power or brakes and multiple warning lights were flashing on the dashboard. Fortunately, we were able to pull into a business parking lot and stopped by running into a snow berm. We could not stop the engine and tried many times to turn the engine off during the 3 hours we waited for a tow truck. We were finally able to turn off the engine and drove it to the local Ford dealership with the tow truck following us. We went to the dealer the following morning and the customer service rep started the engine and experienced the same problem. He was unable to stop the engine. He said it could take up to a month for repairs since they only have one Jeep mechanic. I drove it the previous day on a 120 mile trip and traveled on I-75. It could have been deadly if the car failed on that busy Interstate.

Service Passive Entry error code. The vehicle will not turn off without manually going into the settings area and even then sometimes does not always work. Sometimes I Have to keep playing around with the menu to get it to shut off. Once turned off, sometimes it will crank back up and sometimes it will not. It has 22,000 miles and is under factory warranty I bought an extended warranty but neither the Jeep Manufacturer nor the Warranty company will offer me a solution. I was advised there is a "bulletin" and that will sometimes turn into a recall but as of now, there is no recall for the issue. I've had to reach out to the Jeep Manufacturer several times, attaching some information regarding my attempts.
