There are 9 owner-reported lighting complaints for the 2015 Jeep Renegadein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Received warning that rear drivers side taillights, reverse light, parking light, and turn signal were out. Changed all 3 bulbs related and still didn’t work. Looked at the circuit board and connector and the center pin is burned out. Searching Jeep Renegades and this is a common issue with many model years of the Jeep Renegade. This appears to be a defect the manufacturer should be responsible for through a recall.
Both fog lights have had to be replace due to the inside reflectors getting so hot, the bulbs are melting them with the potential to cause a fire. This vehicle is a 2015 bought brand new and has 52000 miles on it.
Rear brake and back up light assembly ground wire shorted and burned out. This caused all of the lights in the assembly to go out and sent multiple warnings to the dash board. This short came close to melting wires and the plastic assembly itself.
The drivers side fog light reflector was melted and charred like it was nearly on fire. There was no silver coating on the plastic reflector and it looks like the plastic was absorbing all the heat of the bulb.
MY FOG LAMPS HOUSING MELTED. THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF BOTH HOUSING ARE MELTED DUE TO HEAT FROM THE BULBS. MY LENSES ARE BLACK. IT COST ME 225.00 FOR NEW PARTS AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. HOW LONG BEFORE THESE NEW ONES MELT AGAIN? HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT CAUSE MORE DAMAGE AND SHORT MY CAR OUT OR CATCH ON FIRE. *TR
I NOTICED ONE FOG LIGHT SMOKING WHEN MY WIFE ARRIVED HOME. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION BOTH ARE CHARRED. FACTORY INSTALLED BULBS ARE STILL IN THE VEHICLE.
GOT INTO JEEP TO GO HOME FROM WORK AND I LOOK DOWN THE SCREEN IS TELLING ME MY LEFT SIGNAL, PARKING LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS WORKING FINE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT IT DID IT AGAIN WILL I WAS DRIVING THIS TIME THE LITTLE LIGHT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN POPPED ON AND CAUGHT MY ATTENTION,SO I CHANGED ALL THE BULBS AND STILL NOTHING SO I CHECK FUSE IT'S GOOD. TAKE TO SHOP AND FIND OUT THE CONNECTOR SHORTED OUT AND THE WIRES WERE CORRODED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HAD I NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION AND HAD MY HUSBAND DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE IT WASN'T WORKING I MAY HAVE NEVER FOUND THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD AND THE SECOND TIME WAS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 5TH
TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM NEEDS SERVICE, PARKING LIGHTS OUT, DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHTS OUT
FAN STOPPED WORKING CAUSING CAR TO OVERHEAT AND SMOKE WHILE IDLE. CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR. ALSO HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT BLOWING OUT. HAD THE LIGHT FIXED THREE TIMES IN A FEW MONTHS AND BLEW A FOURTH TIME. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY SINGLE TIME AND IT'S CURRENTLY OUT BC THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT SO IT'S A WASTE OF TIME.
