Fog Light Switch Problems of Jeep Renegade

The car decides when it wants to start and start. The car will shut off and lock up while driving and has put me in multiple dangerous situations. The check engine light turns on with the airbag light when it will not start. When it finally decides to start there is no cel on. Also, the bottom fog light went out due to faulty design and gasketing.

I went to change the fog light bulbs but both fog lights have melted the housing and turned the lens brown. The bulbs are melted to the housing preventing the bulb from being able to be replaced. It needs the whole fog light assembly replaced.

The fog lights almost caught fire. The factory bulbs started smoking and I had to unplug them.

Fog lights appeared brown and burned but bulbs still work fine. No longer clear glass.

Engine burns oil to the point to where it is unsafe to operate without constantly adding oil between scheduled oil change intervals. The engine feels like it is gasping for air after coming to a halt and then starting again(stop sign, making a left turn after yielding to oncoming traffic, etc. ). Additionally, the fog light housing on both sides is completed burned and melted. This lead me to believe that there is a wiring issue causing too much power to go to the bulbs or the recommended bulbs may be too hot. The engine issue has been ongoing through all 39,000 miles on it. The fog light housing concern was just discovered on 4/15/2020 however I'm sure the issue was prevalent before hand. Many friends of mine with the same vehicle have also expressed both aforementioned concerns. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated the front passenger's side fog light reflector melted, which caused the light to become inoperable.

Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram sandy located at 10905 auto mall dr, sandy, ut 84070, and the contact was informed that the bulb needed to be replaced. The bulb was replaced however, the contact stated that the driver's side bulb experienced a similar failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.

The check engine light continues to come on as the right parking light, plate light, and right fog light continues to go out even after being replaced with a new bulb.

My passenger side fog light keeps going out. I have changed it 3x in a very short amount of time. I haven't recognized any pattern or cause behind this. I'm seeing on forums that because you have to access the bulb through the wheel well, possible moisture may be getting into the compartment causing the light to get wet and short. I've been to the dealership and they want me to pay a diagnostic fee and say it's not covered under warranty. This to me sounds like a design flaw and I think they need to fix it.
