The water line for the windshield washer reservoir running to back windshield is bundled with the electrical cables and is made out of plastic not rubber leaks inside car back passanger floor. I went online and noticed several people complaining about the same issue. Line is in a hard to reach place to replace, think manufacturer of vehicle should replace for using inferior parts and bundling it with electrical wires that my cause a short. Please investigate problem. a link to the problem [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The hose that holds the widow wiper fluid is made of cheap plastic and has cracked and leaks badly on the drivers side of the passengers section. I found a YouTube video wher the exact same thing happened to someone else car. Same model same problem and can cause other water damage. I have a video.
My fog light has now caught fire and burned twice. The entire assembly has melted to pieces. This is a safety concern and can result in someone's vehicle burning to the ground and possible injury to someone. This is not ok that my fog lights are catching fire like they are doing that is from the manufacturer. I'm being held responsible for repairs also that's not ok as I'm not at fault for this occurring.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE OR AT A STOP LIGHT, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRAVO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ALHAMBRA (LOCATED AT 1100 W MAIN ST, ALHAMBRA, CA 91801, (626) 283-52120) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDOW TINT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE WINDOW FAILURE, AND THE OIL WAS AT AN UNSAFE LEVEL AND NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS COMPLETED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL WAS AT AN IMPROPER LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,570.
THERE APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2017 JEEP RENEGADE IN THAT WHEN THE WASHER FLUID IS USED, THE FLUID DRAINS NEXT TO THE AIR INTAKE AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF VAPOR IS DRAWN INTO THE MAIN CABIN. THIS WAS VERIFIED BY A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALER. WASHER SOLVENT FLUID CAN BE POISONOUS AND HARMFUL IF BREATHED IN. THE AMOUNT OF VAPOR DRAWN INTO THE CABIN CAN BE REDUCED BY USING THE RECIRCULATE FUNCTION, BUT SOME STILL LEAKS IN AND WHEN DRIVING IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS, OTHER VEHICLES THROW SALT AND OTHER DEBRIS ON YOUR WINDSHIELD CAUSING YOU TO IMMEDIATELY USE THE FLUID TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BREATH HARMFUL VAPORS IN. IN COLD WEATHER, IF YOU SET THE RECIRCULATE FUNCTION ON SO YOU WON'T BREATH THE VAPORS, THEN THE DEFROSTERS WON'T WORK AND YOUR WINDSHIELD CAN FOG OR ICE UP. THIS IS...
