Rear brake and back up light assembly ground wire shorted and burned out. This caused all of the lights in the assembly to go out and sent multiple warnings to the dash board. This short came close to melting wires and the plastic assembly itself.

Multiple warning lights by model year
What owners say
I have been taking my car to the dealership with the same complaint for over 2 yrs. They charge me for things that they say its not under warranty. I pay but car continues the same as I brought it in. I had to call "corporate" so they can get involved and help me, they did and in a way I was punished by keeping the car for a month and when I asked to get it back they kept telling me they are waiting on parts.at one point my granddaughter got sick (lives with me) and I called them I need my car soon my kid is sick and I was told "get an uber". Finally after a month I get my car and now is worse than ever. My daughter was driving and car smelled like smoke, all the lights on dashboard started going crazy, the air conditioner went dead and vehicle stopped. I have spent so much money complaining about the same thing and now im without a car again. I need help please. I lost my job and now I had to sell my home due to this pandemic. Im suppose to leave and move to another state this coming weekend and I have no car to leave. How can anyone help me, please.
When turning on car all warning lights came on and then each one started flickering one by one. Then my transmission light and warning message came on. Car would start but locked itself and couldn't shift gears . I tried unlocking it and shifted to reverse it would not accelerate and would get stuck in that gear so had to manually unlock and shift to drive and couldn't accelerate. Couldn't turned it off gear shift would lock itself. Happened while heading back home. So I took it to the dealership and saw the recall for transmission. They ended up doing something else that I didn't say yes to now they are charging me for it and while my car was getting repaired. They gave me a loaner car, I get in car accident in their loaner car I had insurance but only liability. Dealership won't give my car back until I pay in cash a deductible of 2,500 and plus repairs I didn't agree to.
Car stalls while driving. All lights flash on dashboard flash. Shifter froze.
Indicator light for right turn signal out, left turn signal out, daytime running lights out, brake light out and parking lights out cycled while the car was in motion. All lights are working properly. Turned car off and back on again, all lights disappeared. Researched that other renegades have had this issue, but only 2017 models were recalled.
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.
2nd occurrence of all the sensor lights coming on and engine simply stopping. Both times, the vehicle had been braked and was ready to accelerate when all the lights on the dash and gear shift began to flash. The first occurrence all the lights flashed and halted before it could completely cross the highway. The dealership applied all updates to the computer keeping the car overnight. The second occurrence vehicle was just towed to the dealer as unfit to drive. After resting, only the check engine light came on. Will know more after auto is checked.
Vin - [xxx] here's all the issues I have: - hard shifting - loss of power when turning and accelerating, even on bone dry roads - all lights (brakes, headlights, fog lamps, turn signals) malfunctioning (inoperable) on startup. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I started my vehicle and then shifted it from park to drive. All the warning lights flashed and the vehicle lost power and the interior and exterior systems went dead. I shifted back to park and attempted to start the vehicle again. It did not start and turning the key resulted in all the warning lights lighting up. The parking brake engaged and did not release. The power door locks and windows did not work but after the key was turned the headlights did flash if the lock or unlock buttons on the key fob were pushed. Also the steering wheel did not turn with the key in place and the key could not be removed from the steering column. The tow truck driver had to resort to using a power pack on the battery terminals to get power to the electrical system so he could restore the steering and release the parking brake. At the dealership that repaired the car they found the electrical systems functional and the battery fully charged. The service reciept states the dtcm had an active code c2502-64 and they flashed dtcm with latest flash number and cleared codes.

- 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.
