“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.”

NHTSA complaint #11309399, filed 2020-02, 65,000 miles

“Daytime/park running light has blown out 3-4 times since purchasing it in 2015. I have taken it to the dealership to have it looked at and all they do is replace the bulb. I am now out of warranty and the bulbs continue to blow out. I only have 75k miles on this truck. Not to mention, I have owned several vehicles throughout my life and I have never had a change a light bulb of any kind on any of my previous vehicles like I do with the Renegade. Seriously thinking about trading this in for a totally different brand of vehicles altogether.”
