At river oaks chrysler-plymouth-jeep: 7/6/2016 - (1) red lights "on" in upper console that dials 911 and emergency road services. (2) radio display indicates radio needs service; radio replaced by dealership. At northwest chrysler - jeep - dodge - ram: 4/24/2017 - all lights failed while I was driving back from lunch. Back up lights, turn signals - all lights were not working and I drove immediately to closest jeep dealer, near work. The lights were back on after 5 minutes or so, and the dealer could not find a problem. No work was performed on the vehicle. 7/14/2016 - (1) red light still on and dealer never fixed; still an issue as of 8/14/2017. (2) after new radio installed, apps were missing; back up camera not working; bluetooth not working; radio cannot access wi-fi. New 8/14/2017 (will take to helfman dealership today, where I originally purchased the vehicle on 5/5/2015): on or about 8/1/2017; large warning light came on when I started the car (I say large because it was in part of console that shows speed, miles traveled and other customizable screens) indicating that it needed some type service right away, but it disappeared within 5-10 seconds. Will also try to get dealer to explore red lights in upper console that are still present and occurring after more than one year. They appear and stay after I turn the car off and let it rest only a few minutes. Red lights are not present if car sits for several minutes or overnight.
While driving car lost power looked down car shifted into neutral by itself. Then a few days later radio n backup camera did not turn on finally did after pushing the radio on button then after a few miles jeep started bucking and heard a whining noise while stepping on gas. Read may complaints and this is a dangerous vehicle. This happened the first time while driving @ 50 MPH the second time I was stationary starting up at first then bucking n noise starred at @ 30 MPH.
Forward collision warning inadvertently and randomly turns off, as does back up camera and camera guide lines. Additionally, 911 and uconnect randomly are showing, indicating a malfunction. Seven trips to dealer have not corrected, including dealer contacts with manufacturer (work orders on file). Shutting off engine and restarting sometimes corrects the vehicle's issues. First stop with dealer to correct-11/15/2015 (vehicle purchased in october). Most recent stop with dealer 4/8/2015

Electrical system: cybersecurity
- What is wrong
- Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Jeep Renegade vehicles manufactured September 18, 2014, to June 25, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with radios that have software vulnerabilities that can allow third-party access to certain networked vehicle control systems.
- Risk
- Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on September 30, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1‑800‑853‑1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R45.
