The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the rearview camera image was intermittently blue or blank while reversing. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer determined that the infotainment system and the rearview camera needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a claim was filed; however, the claim was later denied. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Various warning lights will come on, especially at colder ambient temperatures. High coolant temp warning when it's below zero. Check the parking brake after I've starting driving, etc. Nav 6.5 cannot seem to stay connected to satellite radio and constantly has to re-load (during this time, no sound will broadcast from radio). Also, takes up to 5 minutes minutes for the nav 6.5 to load - so often I have to go without the backup camera. Also, when getting in car and on a phone call, the call will not transfer to the car immediately. It's so slow that I am missing the conversation because during the process of transferring the call the sound from the call is completely cut off on the phone and hasn't yet come through to the car's speakers. I am putting today's date on the form, but these things happen every single day that I drive the car. I have had it for 2.5 years and it has 16.7k miles.

I believe there is a problem with the electrical system with this 2016 jeep renegade trailhawk which I bought new in 01/07/2017. These problems below happen at random times: driving city, highway, parked. Started around 1300 miles which was around 02/12/2017; last time I picked it up from the dealer was 06/30/2017 which they had it for 10 days. Freezing cluster, rear reverse camera staying on while in drive, alarm going on and off on its own. The main safety concern I have and have been back to the dealer three times in 6,000 miles with no solutions: is the alarms of 'service electronic parking brake' alert going on which is 90% time paired up with 'service airbag system' alert going on, and the seatbelt warning system flashing on. Sometimes it will clear itself, other times it will clear when I stop turn the car off, and then back on. Dealer says there is no errors in the system, and it didn't happen while they had the vehicle. July 5 still going on more frequently. I called dealer twice in the last five days and I have not received a call back. I do not feel safe in my vehicle, I have personally witnessed while working on a fire engine and ambulance that air bags sometimes do not get deployed for various reasons, and the out come is sometimes not good for the passengers. I have also seen that when air bags deploy properly it can save lives. I do not trust my vehicle for the safety of my family and I. I do have all documentation from the dealership. As well as video's on my iphone of this happening.
