| Description of the problem | It started four(4) months after i got the car brand new. I was driving home from work, i decided to take the back roads, i could not use my brakes. I took the car in to the dealership and the ecu had to be changed. A few months later my radio was recalled and that had to be changed. I've had a probably four(4) month battle with the day time running lights going off then coming back on out of nowhere. The first time the dtr went out the lightbulb was changed and the metal on the base of the lightbulb was melted off.( i do not have pictures of it the dealership took it when i showed them) i took it back to the dealership after the second time the light kept going on and off. They checked the vehicle and said the resistance was too high and they didn't know why. Therefore i had to wait on parts to change the wiring and sockets for the dtrs. It is a 2018 jeep renegade and i'm very tired of having to take my, not even, two(2) year old car to the dealership to get something electrical fixed every few months. I'm not sure of the date it all started so i approximated. |
