My engine light has decided to light up in my Jeep randomly one day after starting it. After scanning it, it shows code p0522. The research I have done has shown it usually shows the oil light when it is that code. So as a result, I have had my oil changed again and I have ordered a oil pressure sensor/sender hoping that will fix all my problems which will be installed next Sunday (7/7/2019). I also had to change the water pump because it had a crack in it, the thermostat just for precautionary measures, and the belt because it had a tear in it about half the size of the width. All of this to try to figure out the problem with the engine light and the scanner showing the code p0522. So we will see if that actually fixes the problem.
I was driving my vehicle when I noticed a small amount of smoke that seemed to be coming from the air system. Someone then exited my vehicle and the smoke billowed and I noticed fire on the passenger side sun visor area. I pulled my vehicle over and upon trying to exit the vehicle, noted that there was smoke coming from both sides near the side impact airbags and throughout the car. The fire was contained mostly to the passenger side, interior, but also went through the upper metal roof and was smoking exterior and causing the paint to bubble and crack open. Fire was put out by the local fire department and no injuries. Most of the damage is on the passenger interior and exterior, but other unknown damage and white dust was seen near the airbag areas too. Sidenote - the current recall on the passenger side sun visor for this vehicle was repaired at the local dealership 3 weeks ago.
