Passenger air bag fault randomly causes warning light. TIPM causing headlights to randomly shut off and flicker when driving at night. Both high and low beams. Randomly affects passenger and drivers headlights at different times, sometimes shutting off all lighting completely for a couple of seconds.

driving vehicle and a torrential down pour of water came out of the front interior light which is located at the windshield. The water fell onto the entire entire of the car onto me driving and almost caused an accident as I was shocked and surprised. I have a sunroof in this vehicle and in researching it find that prior lawsuits have been filed and won. Jeep is aware of this and does not inform the buyers instead ignores it. I researched and saw that the drainage tubes were too small and tend to clog up and Jeep does not inform the customer of this. When researching further this has happened over and over and no recall has ever been started. I could have died or severely injured other, Brought it to Jeeps attention and they stated we do not start recall that is up to the US government(arrogance of a supervisor) They refused to tell me who to report this to and told me to do the research myself If line is recorded it occurred11/03/2021 at app 3:10. I paid. approximately $920 for the repairs where the Jeep shop left 7 inches of water on my carpeting and drivers seat. Corporate stated my problem and to deal with Jeep repair shop If prior lawsuits were won on this every one is aware of this why is a recall not done to help the consumer and Jeep made to notify their customers to have maintenance done on drain tubes.

I was driving, and my car started to get hot. The hot engine light started to beep. I was on the highway so I tried to get to a safe area to pull over. Before I could even do that I heard and felt the car shake and all of the sudden the temperature drops to cold and the check engine light and the throttle control light turned on. Drove it home and in the morning the check engine light is on.

One headlight suddenly went off, took it to a mechanic to change bulb and replaced the bulb and still didn't work, took it to dealer and they still could not fix it and told me it is a computer issue or tipim issues, to me this is a safety hazard, I also was told by the dealer that I an out of warrantee because I have 74000 miles on my 2014, to me this is a safety issue and they should address this regardless of mileage, I have been driving now 4 months with a blown out headlight it is horrible !
