2015 Jeep Renegade Electrical System

The backup safety camera screen that is also used for the radio and Bluetooth intermittently goes black which disconnects any calls, and doesn’t display the backup safety camera.

Touch screen radio/back up camera screen blacking out and malfunctioning

My car turns off at random times while driving. This has happened while going down the highway at high speeds and while turning left into a business and everything in between. I am usually able to start the car after waiting five minutes or so and it may or may not turn off again before I reach my destination. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times for this issue with no resolve. The first time I took my car to the dealership was July 14th, 2021 and they determined it was the battery, that did not solve the issue. On December 29, 2022 I took the vehicle to the dealership and on January 09, 2023 I picked it up. They told me my battery cable was loose, that was not the issue. On January 24 I took it back and on February 7, 2023 I picked it up. The dealership replaced the wiring harness, but the issue still remains. Driving down the road at any speed and having the car shut off is a safety risk to everyone around. When my daughter was turning left into a business she was terrified and blocking traffic going both directions and had to be pushed out of the road. While driving down the road I constantly am looking for a plan of action, a place that I can coast off the road if my car dies. The dealership has not been able to recreate this problem. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealership. 60% of the time all of the warning lamps are on, and the other part of the time just the check engine light and battery lamp are on, but this is not an indication of if the car will safely get me to my destination without turning off. Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not. I am not the only one who has suffered this issue. Numerous similar incidents can be found from other people on various websites.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, SPEEDING UP TO REACH THE 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT, WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR STALLED OUT AND BEGAN DECELERATING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WARNING "SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL " FLASHED ACROSS THE SCREEN. THE CAR CONTINUED TO DECELERATE SO I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR.

MY RADIATOR FAN ASSEMBLY WAS VIBRATING WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. IT HAS NOW FAILED. THE PART HAS OVER 4000 BACK ORDERED WITH NO ETA AVAILABLE.

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.

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 SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, SMOKE BEGAN TO COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS CAME TO A PARKING LOT. THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAD MELTED AND WAS SMOKING. THE VEHICLE HAS 40,813 MILES ON IT, AND THIS IS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURE. THE DEALER HAS ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE MINE THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER A MONTH FOR THE SAME ISSUE.
