NHTSA Complaint #11500259 — 2018 JEEP RENEGADE

The entire lamp needs replaced for the front passenger running light. Continues to blow lights and sockets. Estimated cost to fix is $600 and is NOT covered by factory warranty or most extended warranties. I see this issue with MANY jeep son the road. Car will alert driver that running light is out, replace light, will blow new light within hours. Replace socket - will blow new socket. Car will also alert driver that other lights are out on the vehicle EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT. This speaks to a possible, more serious, wiring issue. Lights exist on a car FOR A REASON. I should not be paying to fix shoddy workmanship BY JEEP. Please, investigate how many Jeep Renegades have come in with this issue or similar. I was told by my mechanic that many Renegades have such poor light wiring that beating on the lights a few times will "maybe make them come back on". YES, my dealership looked at the car and told me the entire lamp needs replaced for $600. Not covered by any warranties, but broken no fault of my own. This is not a wear and tear issue. This is a lighting and wiring issue which is UNSAFE. Yes there were warning messages, but some are false and some are true! I received warning that my plate light was out, when it is not. This running light issue IS a known problem with jeep renegades. PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURHTER. This has been an ongoing issue since I certified pre-owned purchased the car with 5,000 miles on it. Took it to dealer on Monday 01/02/2023
