2013 Jeep Wrangler driver assistance complaints

My left hand drive jeep unlimited wrangler has a clock spring issue too that cannot be resolved. All jeeps need to be on the recall, not just the right hand drive jeeps.
Esc light is constantly on. This results in cruise control not working, this also causes the mil (check engine) to stay illuminated. This was initially a problem when I bought the vehicle new. I have ignored this issue, but after relocating to a new state, california requires the check engine light to be off in order to pass a smog inspection. I've replaced the clock spring. No change. I believe my jeep is affected by the same issue that resulted in the federal safety agency recall no. 14v‑636. I would not say that the federal safety agency 16v‑290 should apply to this vehicle, only because the airbag warning light is not on.
Check engine light goes on and off. Default code shows problem with oil pressure sensor. But check engine goes off when vehicle is at 3/4 fuel tank, then goes back on when at 1/4 fuel. The oil pressure sensor problem appears common to these vehicles. There are lots of people noting the same problem and explanation is that jeep knows there were faulty oil pressure sensors installed over many vehicle models and years. The repair is roughly $400 - $500 as the head needs to be pulled to replace the sensor. However, many still report the check engine problem after the repair is made. Unknown as to extent of damage the engine may experience due to this problem.
Jeep randomly stalls and engine dies while driving. Jeep has replaced o2 sensor, PCM and tipm. Problem is still occurring. Very dangerous to drive not knowing when the engine will quit working. Problem started occurring around 45000 miles and is still occurring
On 6 separate occasions, the electronic stability control light came on, which disables the cruise control. The jeep has 42,000 miles, and it started happening at about 39,000 miles. It happened at various speeds between 30 MPH and 65 MPH, on moderately bumpy roads, however, not bumpy enough to be described as outside of the normal. Took it into the jeep dealership, and they said it was working properly, but it never happened before 39,000 miles of driving the same roads under the same conditions.
Jeep has been stalling for 7 months. Been in shop 9 times. Jeep stalls going at different spends, while stopped, moving at idle in forward or reverse. Jeep will not start unless terminal on battery removed or sits for awhile. Transmission fails to engage occasionally in reverse or drive after stalling. Last program download appears to be a fault with the tipm (totally intergrated power module). Ptm and tpm changed out due to different readings in downloads. Mechanic believes now, that the tipm is faulty. Jeep has stalled up to 5 & 6 times on some days.
A week ago I noticed when I started the jeep in the morning the air bag and the traction control lights on the dash came on. The cruise control quit working along with the radio controls on the steering wheel. The jeep is parked on the street. I disconnected the battery for about 30 min. I reconnected the battery and started it up. The air bags and traction control lights were still on in the dash. The steering controls do not work. The jeep was parked in front of my house on the street.
As I begin to pull into heavy traffic, I hear and see the check engine light warning along with the skid control light illuminating. The car then stalls leaving me sitting in 70 MPH traffic. The vehicle starts back up but has a noticeable loss of power. This loss of power continued until I got home. When I finally get home I use a code reader which indicated it was a camshaft position sensor. Code p0344. This could have been a much worse incident as there were no mechanical issues leading up to this.
