This Problem Across All Years
I purchased in 2015 (Jeep Renegade). The dealership promised a “lifetime warranty” for the duration of my ownership, but despite repeated service visits over the past 10 years for persistent electrical problems, they have refused to honor this warranty. It has come to my recent attention that the two major reasons jeep has stopped making the Renegade was due to electrical and engine issues. Both issues with my car never told to me, and games are being played. Key points: I have complete documentation: purchase receipts, service records, text messages, and emails confirming the warranty and the repeated service attempts. The dealership now claims they have no record of my purchase. I was assured by a service representative that the issues were covered under warranty so I brought it there time and time again. The last time I brought it in the representative was working on it under warranty, but the representative was later terminated while still working to resolve the problem. These service manager, Keri has played games to avoid repairs and has even tried to tell me that I didnt buy my car there when I have proof I did. She said my receipts mean nothing and aren't proof. Its been a non stop headache for almost 10 years when all they had to do was be honest from the beginning. This car has had these problems on and off since 2017 and caused the dealer to have to replace the engine due to this parasitic draw. Each time pretending to fix it and not doing so. These issues have caused significant inconvenience, expenses, and emotional stress over a decade. I would like to explore: Enforcing the lifetime warranty and having the electrical issues properly fixed free of charge Pursuing remedies under Tennessee’s consumer protection laws for unfair or deceptive trade practices. Discussing compensation for damages resulting from the dealership’s repeated failures to repair the vehicle. I am fully prepared to provide all documentation, a detailed timeline of events

When starting the car and letting it warm up for 2 minutes. The vehicle shifts hard or takes it time to shift into next gear, and while idling for less than 5 minutes, the car warms up 32 degrees. Which I do not believe the fan motor is working properly. Also took car to dealership blown trans and engine mounts.

Complaint Summary: I brought my 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk (VIN: [XXX] ) to AutoNation CDJR Roseville on May 17, 2025, for the U90 emissions recall. The catalytic converter was replaced, and the PCM software was updated. However, the U0402 diagnostic trouble code (implausible data received from TCM) remains stored. This code has been persistent and prevents the vehicle from passing California emissions, which is required for my registration as the car was transferred from out-of-state. The service advisor initially stated that the TCM was updated, but later corrected himself and admitted the TCM already had the latest version and was not reprogrammed. I have not been given written confirmation that the TCM software or wiring was verified or addressed. I am concerned the dealership is refusing to properly resolve this under recall and is instead recommending a full transmission replacement without supporting mechanical codes or verifying the emissions system software/communication is compliant. I’m requesting FCA’s assistance, and the BAR in California to enforce the complete and proper execution of the U90 recall and resolution of the U0402 code under recall scope. Please help ensure the vehicle is brought into emissions compliance. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The 2015 Jeep Renegade has had a vibrating sensation since I purchased it used in 2021 from an auto dealership. The vibrations got stronger as time went on. The issue was finally determined what caused the vibrations in May, 2025 and confirmed by an independent mechanic. The vehicle was inspected by a Jeep dealer previously. The vehicle was not inspected by the police or insurance representatives. The auto needed a new Engine Motor Mount. A new one was installed on the front right side, engine mount. The auto is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk because a failed mount leads to excessive engine movement, which can damage other components, affect handling, and lead to accidents.

The Evaporative Emissions System (EVAP system), including components such as the charcoal canister, purge valve, and/or fuel tank venting system, appears to be malfunctioning. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. After refueling the vehicle completely, it will stall or shut off unexpectedly while driving, which could cause a collision, particularly in traffic or at highway speeds. This sudden loss of power places myself, my passengers, and other drivers at significant risk. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent mechanic, but not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. No warning lights, error messages, or advance symptoms were present prior to the vehicle stalling. The issue first occurred around 2022.

I have a U90 recall on my vehicle. I have contacted Jeep dealerships and the Jeep Corp Regarding this issue. I have been told that the parts are on back order and it will be months possibly a year to complete this recall. This is my daily driver and dmv won’t re register the vehicle without the recall being repaired. This is unacceptable. This is my daily driver and has passed smog no issues.

Car randomly stalls in park, when reversing, when in drive but brake is being applied, or when first accelerating after putting into drive. Several times now it has stalled when I'm at stop lights. One time it stalled after just tapping the brake while approaching a stop light. That was terrifying because the car was still in motion. Also, car randomly jerks hard when shifting gears. Recently, car doesn't want to shift while accelerating up hills, and RPM's can get up to 4.5 or 5. No engine light or other warnings lights ever come on. I have brought it to my mechanic two times now about the hard shifting and stalling.Have another appointment this week. They can't figure out what's causing it. Nor can they replicate the problem. This can happen a few times a day, then go weeks without an issue. I've seen the same problems from dozens of people on Jeep forums for 2015 -2017 models. No one had a solution, while seemingly getting brushed off by the dealerships about it.

Motor mounts were damaged and car would shake excessively. got them replaced and they were broken again 3 months later. i have seen several people with the same issue on reddit in jeep renegades models 2015-2016. I was in a fender bender on 8/4/2023 and car was fine for a few days and then it started throwing the engine around again. Mechanic assured me it is not related to accident. file uploaded is of first time I fixed car before the accident

I had issues that I thought were the transmission but after experiencing this repeatedly I took it in to the dealer where I bought it they said they couldn’t find a problem next time it was software updates and fixed then next time still cutting out said motor mounts were broken $1,300 fixed it I finally understood that it was ACTUALLY stopping!! I’m not very car savvy thought it was me!! I almost got clobbered when I pulled out onto a very busy street and I’m not very smart I guess just started it AGAIN I realized there was a problem. I’m very good at oil changes and maintenance my people alerted me to the excessive oil use. I checked it often and they always added oil. between changes. Long story short it just stopped! no Start had it towed fixed $2,592. made it home wouldn’t start towed again next morning fixed it again a valve actuator $1,740 for the part again it failed in 30 miles towed again the part was shipped wrong apparently shipped wet no idea what that means dealer Roberson will warranty the part but it’s sitting there broken again and I’m not sure if they fix it again if it will be dependable? It scares me I don’t know what to do! Fix it a third time? Quickly sell it? I can’t do that! I had to buy another another car I couldn’t afford it’s just sitting there can you help me? I’d be so grateful if you could. I read about the problems with this motor and law suits I can’t qualify for because of their time limits I’m just at the end of my rope with this car that I loved. Now I’m afraid of it. I just don’t know what to do. Thank you so much for listening. Elizabeth Pfeifer Sorry my pictures aren’t the best I’m not good at online either! I have a whole file of receipts for this car..

I bought a 2015 Jeep Renegade in October of 2021 (last year) and have experienced the vehicle stalling TWICE in the middle of traffic. I was informed of the recall by Carmax after the deal was drawn up and the vehicle delivered to me on October 4, 2021. I took the vehicle to Class Jeep in Arlington, Texas, (see attached documents) who refused to replace the engine of the vehicle – the reason for the Recall. I have done all that I can do and exhausted every means necessary to have the recall completed and the vehicle replaced or repaired to bring up to operating standard. I currently owe $21,000.00 on a vehicle that is non-operable. Carvana delivered the car with a rotted battery (paperwork attached); and, a faulty brake job (where new brakes had been put on top of bad rotors) which they felt $200.00 should cover the cost for a $1100 brake repair/replacement. Carvana also refused to replace the transmission on the vehicle which they identified as the source of the ‘stalling-out’ in the midst of traffic when the vehicle would not shift gears to accelerate. The justification was because ‘a module is on top of the transmission instead of inside of it’ and it’s not an engine problem; therefore, refused to repair or replace. Essentially, I have been told that the vehicle which is a safety hazard and threat to life is no longer their concern. Please advise – both the dealership and the manufacturer have taken the position that the operating problems of this vehicle is that ‘of the other’s…’ and no one wanting to just take ownership that the vehicle is faulty and fix it, repair it, or take it out of circulation on the market for sell to unsuspecting consumers. Requested Resolution: I am requesting REPAIR or REPLACEMENT of this vehicle; or, buyback with no negative adverse action on my credit worthiness. My choice is not simply, “you can return it” as I was told – which will result in a ‘REPOSSESSION’ appearing on my credit report.

Transmission when driving it sticks in 9 gear. Loss power. Two years ago the value body was replaced, then 2-3 months ago it started the same loss of power dealer checked found nothing said to drive it see if it happens again.Two week ago took it back in to the dealer and they replaced the valve body for a 2nd time. Left the shop a few hours later the same thing happened again. Driving the highway and no power. Took it right back to the dealer on Saturday. Have not heard anything from them yet.The transmission service light goes on and the check engine light.

The vehicle engine has been shaking moderately since we purchased it. The dealer told us that is just the way the vehicle sounds and feels. Recently it has begun to shake more while stopped in traffic or at a light. The dealer told us the engine mount was broken. The vehicle has only 33,354 miles. This is a safety issue as the engine could become dislodged and cause an accident as well as the fluids would be a hazardous materials exposure endangering potential wildlife. Jeep originally told me it was covered under warranty and then later changed their mind. Either way it is a defective part of the power train and dangerous.

excess moisture causing condensation freezing in the muffler assembly and not allowing engine to start. Was stranded for 2 days. Had Jeep towed to dealership after a few hours dealership was able to contact a certified jeep dealer and diagnose the problem. No warning lights on the dash came on at all not even the check engine light. In doing research and talking with dealership this is a very well known issue as well as there are service bulletins on this issue. as well as speaking with lots of people online they have had this issue as well. why is there no campagin or recall on this issue.

Outside Temperature Sensor fail in temperature under 31 degrees which causes check engine light to come on and disables four wheel drive to engage while driving in snowy conditions. Took Jeep to dealership repair cost $600 for a vehicle I’ve only owned for 25 days with 51,000 miles, they informed me that later down the road I will have to repeat this process again because this is a very common expensive problem in Jeep forum.

ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON LIGHTING ON AND OFF. I WENT TO MECHANIC AND IT'S THE COOLANT THERMOSTAT. WHICH MIGHT BE AFFECTING MY INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE. IN COLD WEATHER ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AND IN HOT WEATHER IT TURNS ON. THIS CAUSES MY JEEP TO STRUGGLE WHEN I WANT TO SPEND UP ON HIGHWAY. THE OTHER ANNOYING PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I'M IN IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT THE JEEP SHAKES SO MUCH THAT I FEEL IT ALL OVER CAR. IT ALSO HAS A VERY LOUD NOISE TO IT. MY OTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MY VOLUME TO MY RADIO GOES DOWN. NEVER FAILS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I HAD MY JEEP DIAGNOSED 3 TIMES AND IT COMES OUT THAT IT'S THE THERMOSTAT. DEALERSHIP WAS TELLING IT WAS THE FUEL INJECTOR WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COOLANT ISSUES. I ALSO HEAR MY TRANSMISSION CLICK HARD WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

MY CAR'S RADIATOR FAN STARTED RATTLING AND AFTER LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE, I FOUND ENDLESS SOURCES OF OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR AS ME THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IF NOT DILIGENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND FIXED, THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR WILL EVENTUALLY GO OUT. THIS HAS CAUSED SMOKING AND FLAMES AND CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE. THE SOUND HAPPENS WHEN MY CAR IS IDLING AND STOPPED IN FIRST GEAR. TO AVOID THESE COSTLY AND DANGEROUS EFFECTS OF WHEN THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR DOES FAIL, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CASE 2:19-CV-10417-NGE-EAS HAS BEEN FILED, BUT NO FURTHER UPDATES HAVE BEEN RELEASED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY 3 TIMES NOW. IT ALSO CONSUMES MORE OIL IN A MONTH THAN MOST CARS CONSUME IN 20 YEARS. IT IS AN UNSAFE CAR THAT IF NOT FIXED WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ASAP.

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY 3 TIMES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY JERKY. THE DEALER DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND SAID IT IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO CONSUME 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 3000-4000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT USES THIS MUCH OIL. THE OIL WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON INDICATING G THE OIL IS LOW.

I WILL START THIS OFF BY SAYING I'VE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS WITH MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE INCLUDING A/C PROBLEMS, POWER OUTLETS(BACK SEAT 110V OUTLET, CARGO OUTLETS & BUILT IN FLASHLIGHT) SHUTTING OFF AFTER ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF USAGE. THE BLIND SPOT ASSISTANCE WILL RANDOMLY POP UP WHEN DRIVING SAYING 'BLIND SPOT ASSIST IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE' THE BIGGEST ONE BEING WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW WHICH IS WHAT I'LL EXPLAIN BELOW BUT TO INFORM YOU MORE I'LL INCLUDE THAT IT HAD 96K WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK AND HAD ALWAYS KIND OF HAD A JERKY FEEL WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS WHICH I READ WAS KIND OF NORMAL, SO I DIDN'T PUT MUCH THOUGHT INTO IT UNTIL NOW. MY TRUCK WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT BEING MOVED AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I HADN'T LEFT ANYTHING ON, LIGHTS, RADIO, ECT. IT HAD HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT TILL NOW. SO AFTER I CHARGE THE BATTERY LONG ENOUGH TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED IT FINALLY FIRES UP BUT ALL THESE MESSAGES COME ACROSS THE SCREEN: CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, BLIND SPOT TEMPORARILY OUT OF SERVICE, PASSAGEWAY ENTRY UNAVAILABLE, ALONG WITH A FEW MORE. I GIVE IT A MINUTE HAVING THE TRUCK RUNNING TO RESET THESE THINGS THEIR SELVES AND MOST DO EXCEPT A FEW. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON ALONG WITH THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WHICH IS THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING THAT HAS THE TRUCK STUCK IN GEAR; IT WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TERMINALS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES SEEING IF THE SOFTWARE WILL RESET THAT WAY BUT IT DIDN'T HELP STILL HAS THE MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY'VE HAD IT 4 DAYS NOW AND I'M STILL NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS IS BUT AM DREADING THIS MAJOR ISSUE.

WE WERE PROMISED ANOTHER KEY FOB MADE, BUT HAVE JUST GOT THE RUNAROUND SINCE PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LOCK SOMETIMES AND WE ARE WORRIED IT WILL NOT UNLOCK DURING AN EMERGENCY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY TELLS US THE KEY FOB IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY. THE JEEP ALSO HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES WE WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS RIGHT AWAY. THERE'S A POWER ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND LOSE POWER AND THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE HAD IT JUMPED SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO SEVERAL AUTO ZONES TO TEST OUT THE BATTERY JUST TO SEE IF I WOULD GET A DIFFERENT RESPONSE BUT EACH CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY. IT EITHER COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF OR STOPS PICKING UP SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY HOUSTON TRAFFIC. YOU CAN FEEL WHEN IT SWITCH GEARS SOMETIMES, IT MAKES THIS HARD AND LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN IT'S TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS. IT'S ALWAYS DONE THAT. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS IF I'M AT A SLOWER DRIVING SPEED, LIKE TURNING AT A LIGHT, AND THEN ACCELERATE TO PICK UP SPEED, IT EITHER MAKES THAT LOUD POPPING SOUND, OR STRUGGLES TO PICK UP SPEED AND EVENTUALLY STALLS AND/OR LOSE POWER. IT'S REAL SCARY. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT MANY TIMES BUT NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE RECALLS AND HAVE BEEN SEEING NUMEROUS CASES FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING BUT SOMEHOW MY VIN ISN'T ASSOCIATED WITH ANY RECALLS.

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1.4 TURBO ENGINE IN MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE BURNING ENGINE OIL UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING ON THE DIPSTICK. I USUALLY GET AN INDICATION ON MY DASH THAT I HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE, THEN I GO TO THE STORE AND BUY THE EURO SYNTHETIC OIL TO TOP OFF THE OUL UNTIL I CAN GET TO A SERVICE STATION OR THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE OIL CHANGE NEEDS TO BE DONE EVEY 3,000 MILES OR SO, OR I WILL BE OUT OF OIL. THE DEALER HAS RUN SOME TESTS AND ISN'T ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. IT JUST BURNS OIL AND IT IS, OF COURSE, NO LONGER UNDER A WARRANTY. BESIDES THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER WEIRD PROBLEMS THAT HAPPEN AND CAN NOT BE IDENTIFIED. I THINK THIS 2015 JEEP RENEGADE IS A LEMON. I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT WAS RE-CERTIFIED. YEAH, BY IDIOTS? OCASSIONALLY THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS RUNNING, CHECK THE OIL, AND THERE ISN'T ANY ON THE STICK. THIS HAS RECURRED 5 TIMES. THE LATEST BEING 3//5/20.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN GOES BACK OFF. LAST TIME IT WAS ON, WENT TO REPAIR SHOP AND HAD IT HOOKED UP TO THE DIALYSIS MACHINE AND IT STATED THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACING. BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER STAYS ON. AFTER I STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT, IT'S OFF. IT ALSO RANDOMLY LURCHES FORWARD OR SHAKES WHILE IN DRIVE OR PARKED. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR FAN WHICH KEPT BLOWING FUSES DUE TO THE FAN GOING OFF TRACK AND GETTING STUCK. I THOUGHT THAT FIXED THE JUMPING, BUT IT STILL OCCURS. JUST LESS OFTEN. MY MYSKY PANEL ENGINE IS ALSO BROKEN AND WILL NOT OPEN. STARTS TO OPEN, THEN CLOSES OR STOPS COMPLETELY AFTER ONLY AN INCH OR TWO OF OPENING.

IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS MY JEEP HAS STALLED THREE TIMES.

IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH OFF TO THE SIDE OF THOSE QUICKLY TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY. BUT IN ANOTHER I WAS IMPEATING TRAFFIC AND IT WAS VERY UNSAFE. I'VE HAD DIFFICULTY IN JUMPSTARTING THE ENGINE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE.I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND CHECKING THE REST OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH SEEMS FINE BUT THIS ISSUE KEEPS COMING UP AND THE CAR KEEPS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

MY JEEP RENEGADE STALLS WHEN I MAKE A SLOW SPEED TURN. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN TO GET ON THE ON RAMP TO A LAH, THE CAR DIES. I ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BY PEOPLE TRYING TO GO UP THE ON -RAMP BEHIND ME. THE CAR DIES WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN CROSSING TRAFFIC & I ALMOST GOT KILLED. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS. THESE INCIDENTS TAKE PLACE ON DRY PAVEMENT. I NOW SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ARE POSTING COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ON A JEEP FORUM. WHY HAS JEEP / FCA NOT ADDRESSED THIS ? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR DIES FOR NO REASON AND YOU CAN NOT MOVE THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RE-CALL ON THIS. THERE ARE DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS & NOTHING IS BEING DONE! MY CAR SHUTS DOWN FOR NO REASON.

THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON TOO LONG WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. NO BIG DEAL I THOUGHT... I JUMPSTART THE CAR PER OWNERS MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS (IT HAS A COMPLEX BATTERY SO EVEN THOUGH I'VE JUMP STARTED MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WEREN'T SPECIAL PROCEDURES, IT ENDED UP BEING PRETTY STANDARD). WHEN IT DIED IT WAS IN A GARAGE SO I HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE GEAR SELECTOR TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT INTO POSITION FOR A JUMP CONNECTION. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND LET THE BATTERY CHARGE UP A WHILE. ONCE THE CAR CHARGED UP ENOUGH, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. AT THIS POINT I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE CLEAR, THAT'S WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING FINE, TRANSMISSION WAS FINE BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS LOCKED INTO PARK. I WAS BLOCKING THE ROAD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE I WAS MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE GEAR SELECTOR, I FINALLY GET THE CAR TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. ONLY THE ENGINE WOULD REV, NO MOVEMENT. TRY TO REVERSE, SAME THING. AT THIS POINT I COULDN'T GET THE CAR BACK INTO PARK. I PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO THE GARAGE TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AND GO TO TURN IT OFF. THE RENEGADE (PUSH BUTTON START) WILL NOT LET YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IN ANY GEAR BUT PARK. IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. AFTER STRUGGLING MORE TO FORCE IT BACK INTO PARK, I FINALLY GET IT AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T GET STUCK IN D OR R IF IT STARTED WORKING! I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE JUMPSTARTING A CAR AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. LUCKILY I WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH THE CAR BACK OUT OF THE WAY, OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE STUCK THERE INDEFINITELY UNTIL A TOW CAME. I'VE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS IN ONLINE FORUMS. EACH ONE SAID A DEALERSHIP HAD TO RESET THE CARS COMPUTER TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.

AFTER STRUGGLING MORE TO FORCE IT BACK INTO PARK, I FINALLY GET IT AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T GET STUCK IN D OR R IF IT STARTED WORKING! I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE JUMPSTARTING A CAR AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. LUCKILY I WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH THE CAR BACK OUT OF THE WAY, OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE STUCK THERE INDEFINITELY UNTIL A TOW CAME. I'VE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS IN ONLINE FORUMS. EACH ONE SAID A DEALERSHIP HAD TO RESET THE CARS COMPUTER TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.
THIS HAS BEEN AN ON AND OFF GOING ISSUE. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREETS. A WARNING APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IN ORDER TO SWITCH GEARS. SOMETIMES IT PUTS ME IN NEUTRAL WHEN I'M AT A STREET LIGHT. I'D HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO DRIVE AGAIN BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. SEVERAL TIMES I TRY TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF AND IT WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK LIKE NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE. IT'S BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND WORSE NOW.

I HAD THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON IT. THE THERMOSTAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOT EVEN 9 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, IT WAS CHECKED, AND NOW MY THERMOSTAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

I LIVE OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN HOUSTON, TX. I FEEL I PLAY A GAME OF CHICKEN EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO TURN OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN MY JEEP RENEGADE. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES, THE ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON. A HOST OF NEW ELECTRICAL MESSAGES MAY OR MANY NOT POP UP. I HAVE HAD LIGHTS STOP AND START WORKING. THE CAR CUT OFF WHEN MAKING A TURN AS THE CAR IS BURNING INSANE AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT IS NOT THE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE I HAD HOPED FOR. I UNDERSTAND SOME ISSUES HOWEVER THERE APPEARS TO BE A NEW ONE ALMOST WEEKLY. I HAVE HIRED A LAWYER TO INVESTIGATE MY CASE S THIS THE ABSOLUTE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE CAR JERKS LIKE SOMEONE IS SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF YOU WHEN GOING 15 MPH OR LESS. IT LOSES POWER AND HESITATES ON TAKEOFF. THE CAR SUFFERS FROM MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND I FEEL THIS IS A CASH COW FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO KEEP OWNERS SERVING THEIR VEHICLES ON A REGULAR BASIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MANY OWNERS GIVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND THE SAME ISSUES, HOWEVER NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO LISTEN OR HOLD THE MANUFACTURE ACCOUNTABLE.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES SO BADLY GOING INTO SECOND GEAR THAT I AM CONSTANTLY ALMOST REAR ENDED, AND BEING SCREAMED AT BY OTHER MOTORISTS, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. IF YOU'RE NOT AT A COMPLETE STOP, IT'S NOT AS BADR. BUT FORGET IT IF YOU HAVE TO STOP FOR OVER 3 SECONDS. TRAFFIC AND PARKING LOT SEEMS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE WORSE (IF YOU'RE KEEPING IT AT 15 MPH OR UNDER IT SEEMS. FIRST THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY, THEN 2 TRANS MOUNTS, ALL AT A COST TO ME, BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANS. TRANSMISSION WAS SUPPOSEDLY "REPLACED" UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. ALSO, NOW HAVING ENGINE REPLACED, BECAUSE IT BURNS 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THIS CAR.

JEEP ENGINE DIES DURING HOT WEATHER, PULLING UP STEEP HILLS OR TOWING EVEN SMALL LIGHT TRAILERS AND GOING UP A SLIGHT GRADE! I HAVE HAD MY JEEP IN THE SHOP AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BUT THEY DO NOT GIVE ME ANY PAPERWORK BECAUSE THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND ALL 2.4L ENGINES IN THE RENEGADE HAVE THIS PROBLEM!!!

2015 JEEP RENEGADE LIMITED 4X4 HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING IT USED FROM DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY 2019. IT STALLS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE TO PUT IN PARK, PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, AND THEN PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN WITH FOOT ON BREAK TO START IT AGAIN. THANKFULLY THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY (10-15 MPH) IN A LINE OF CARS TOWARDS A STOP SIGN HOWEVER THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE!

I GOT UP TO GET READY TO GO TO CHOIR REHEARSAL MY JEEP WOULD NOT CRANK, AND THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE SWITCH, IT TOOK ALMOST 30 MINUTES TO GET THE KEY OUT, FINALLY THE JEEP CRANKED BUT I COULD NOT GET THE GEAR TO GO INTO REVERSE, DRIVE OR NOTHING, AND ON THE DASH BOARD WHERE IT TELLS YOU HOW MANY MILES YOU HAVE ON THE AUTOMOBILE IT WAS BLINKING AND ALSO ON THE DASH BOARD IT SAY SERVICE TRANSMISSION.. I HAVE READ ON YOUR SITE AS I WAS SEARCHING TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, SO MANY OF THESE JEEP SEEM TO DO THIS WHEN THEY REACH 40 THOUSAND MILES. I AM GRATEFUL THAT I WAS NOT ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPEN THE JEEP SEEM TO HAVE LOST SPEED IFOR A BRIEF MOMENT, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
THE ENGINE OVER HEATS AT HIGH SPEED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME SAY 70 TO 80 MPH OR GOING UP GRADES AT SPEED OR PULLING A SMALL TRAILER. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A NORMAL COMPLAINT ON THIS MODEL JEEP! THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW!!!! NO PHOTOS ARE NECESSARY! THIS DATE IS JUST THE LAST TIME IT HAS STALLED BUT I WAS WITH MY WIFE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH CONCERNED ME! FOR HER SAFETY!!

CAR WILL FAIL SPORADICALLY TO ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC I WAS ALMOST HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES MORE THAN ONCE I'VE TALKED TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME CAR AND ALL OF THEM DESCRIBED THE SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

IT STARTED AS A WOBBLE TYPE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR. SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATES AND I NOTICE A CHANGE IN MY AC. ON MY WAY TO DETROIT MY TEMP GAUGE REACHES MAX, THUS ILLUMINATING A RED TEMP WARNING. I QUICKLY FOUND A PAY-TO-PARK LOT NEAR MY DESTINATION. WHILE ALLOWING TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO COOL DOWN, I GOOGLED MY ENGINE LIGHT AND OVERHEATING ISSUE. RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY DIAGNOSE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE INVOLVING A WOBBLY COOLING FAN AND A BLOWN 50A FUSE. FORTUNATELY THE NIGHT COOLED AND I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME WITHOUT AC NOR THE AID OF AN OPERATING COOLING FAN. MY STORIES SIMILAR TO COUNTLESS OTHERS. I'VE SEEN ONE VIDEO CLAIMING A RECALL FIX POSTED LAST MONTH. IT APPEARS A SHIELD HAS BEEN ADDED...I BELIEVE THAT'LL DEFINITELY FIX THE POORLY ENGINEERED ISSUE INVOLVING THE PROXIMITY OF THE FAN TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

COOLING FAN IS MALFUNCTIONING AS MANY OTHERS APPARANTLY HAVE. THE ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT IF AT REST OR MAKING FREQUENT STOPS (CITY DRIVING).
VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CAN VARY FROM A SHORT BURST OF SPEED AND A SPUDUR TO A LONG TERM ACCELERATION THAT ONLY STOPS WHEN APPLYING THE BREAK. EVEN WHEN STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WILL RAISE RPMS CONSIDERABLY WANTING TO LURCH FORWARD IF NOT IN PARK. THIS ISSUE BEGAN TO BE NOTICEABLE AROUND THE 25,000 MILE MARK IN MY CASE.

JUST BOUGHT THIS USED - GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT THAT IT LITERALLY "LUNGES" FORWARD WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, TYPICALLY GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THERE IS A DEFINITE HESITATION BETWEEN THE TIME YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TIME IT TAKES TO MOVE FORWARD. WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN INTO CROSS TRAFFIC I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE EXTRA TIME TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION.

SO, I HAVE HAD MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE SPORT FRONT WHEEL DRIVE FOR ALMOST 3 1/2 YEARS. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE JERKING OF THE SHIFTING OF MY CAR WHEN I DRIVE, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE SUMMER OF 2017, I BOUGHT MY RENEGADE NEW FEBRUARY 2016. WINTER 2017 IT STARTED REVVING TOO HIGH WHEN STOPPED AT THE STOPLIGHTS OR AT A STOP SIGN. THEN AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2018 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON AND I TOOK IT RIGHT AWAY TO AUTO ZONE SO THEY CAN RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT MY THERMOSTAT WENT OUT, MY CAR JUST ROLLED OVER 38,000 MILES, MY WARRANTY WAS UP AT 36,000, I HAD TO SHELL OUT OVER $500 TO REPLACE THAT, I'M GLAD I DID BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST IN THE QUAD CITY AREA ON THE ILLINOIS SIDE AND OUR COLDEST DAY WAS 55 BELOW 0. THEN JUST TODAY, JUNE 1ST, 2019 MY RADIATOR COOLING FAN MOTOR WENT OUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN. I WAS AT SAM'S CLUB, TURNED MY CAR ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AGAIN AND IT STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND AGAIN MADE MY WAY OVER TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AGAIN AND AS SOON AS I GOT IN MY CAR MY AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT AND CALLED MY MOM AND TOLD HER WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, CALLED MY DAD, THEN IT STARTED TO COMPLETELY OVERHEAT AND THE WARNING POPPED UP AND I CALLED MY DAD AND MY OLDER BROTHER TOOK THE PHONE AND TOLD ME TO TURN THE HEATER ON IN MY CAR TO DRAW HEAT AWAY, IT WORKED AND I MADE IT HOME TO PORT BYRON, IL WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OVER BECAUSE MY BROTHER TOLD ME TO TURN THE HEATER ON AND ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND LOTS OF PRAYER HELPED GET ME HOME SAFELY.

THE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE WAS COMING OUT COLD. CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING AND TEMPERATURE ROSE TO OVER 220. CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 25 MINUTES TO ALLOW IT TO COOL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE COOLING FAN WAS FAILING. MECHANIC STATED WHEN THE CODE WAS PUT IN THE JEEP RENEGADE WAS THE FIRST VEHICLE TO POP UP. THIS SHOULD BE A KNOWN MECHANICAL RECALL. CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FAN SHOULD NOT BE FAILING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER THEN STARTED JERKING AND SHAKING THE CAR. I COULDN'T SPEED UP, I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING UP BUT NOTHING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF CAR AND START BACK UP, I STILL COULDN'T HIT 60MPH I THE FREEWAY SO I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND TOOK THE STREETS HOME. WHEN RUNNING THE CAR UNDER 30MPH THE CAR WAS FINE BUT ONCE I HIT THE HIGHER GEARS MY CAR WOULD SHAKE OR JUST DOWN SHIFT ON ITS ON.

MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE THE PAST 7 MONTHS, I HAVE HAD TO GET 3 OIL CHANGES AND TOP OFF THE OIL MANY TIMES IN BETWEEN, WHICH IS MUCH MORE THAN THE MANUAL STATES IS NECESSARY. THIS VEHICLE BURNS THROUGH OR LOSES OIL TOO QUICKLY, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IT OFTEN TURNS OFF GOING UP OR DOWN HILL, AND AFTER OR MID TURN (WHAT LITTLE OIL IS REMAINING SHIFTS) ON CITY STREETS. MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF ITSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A COUPLE MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL TURN ITSELF BACK ON. LIKE MENTIONED, THIS HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES SINCE MAY 2018 (PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MARCH 2018). BETWEEN 10/29 AND 10/31, IT OCCURRED 9 TIMES. IF NECESSARY, I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF THE FREQUENCY OF SERVICE NEEDED.

BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW 2015 JEEP RENEGADE IN OCTOBER 7,2015. MY RADIATOR FAN IS NOT WORKING AND THE CAR IS STARTING TO OVER HEAT. AT FIRST KEPT HEARING A LOOSE DRAGGING NOISE BEFORE LEAVING TO THE STORE FROM MY HOUSE AND I POPED THE HOOD OPEN OF MY CAR AND I SAW THE FAN NOT WORKING TO COOL THE CAR DOWN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR WAS GOING UP. SO I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY FOR THEM TO CHECK OUT THE CARS ISSUE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALER THIS SAME YEAR FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IT'S NOT SAFE AND IT'S DANGEROUS FOR ANY VEHICLE TO OPERATE WITH ANY MALFUNCTION IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ESPECIALLY FOR A BRAND NEW CAR NOT EVEN 5 YEARS AND THE RADIATOR FAN IS ALREADY BROKEN.

AT FIRST KEPT HEARING A LOOSE DRAGGING NOISE BEFORE LEAVING TO THE STORE FROM MY HOUSE AND I POPED THE HOOD OPEN OF MY CAR AND I SAW THE FAN NOT WORKING TO COOL THE CAR DOWN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR WAS GOING UP. SO I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONDAY FOR THEM TO CHECK OUT THE CARS ISSUE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALER THIS SAME YEAR FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IT'S NOT SAFE AND IT'S DANGEROUS FOR ANY VEHICLE TO OPERATE WITH ANY MALFUNCTION IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ESPECIALLY FOR A BRAND NEW CAR NOT EVEN 5 YEARS AND THE RADIATOR FAN IS ALREADY BROKEN.
BESIDES THE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ETC. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS NEW 2015 RENEGADE, I AM NOW ON 55,000 MILES AND THE MOTOR FAN IS GOING OUT. WHEN THE FAN COMES ON YOU CAN HEAR THE BEARING GRINDING WHICH PROGRESSIVELY HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. MY BEST FRIEND BOUGHT THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND HER FAN JUST WENT OUT LEAVING THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND HER STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT'S NOT LIKE JEEP IS NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE BOARDS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON HOW TO REPLACE THE FAN IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE $600+ TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP DO IT IF YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. I AM JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY HUSBAND JUST HAD BYPASS HEART SURGERY SO OUR PLANS TO HAVE HIM REPLACE IT ARE OUT AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED WITH HIS MEDICAL EMERGENCY SO IT IS PARKED AS I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND CAN'T AFFORD FOR IT TO STRAND ME ON THE ROADWAY. THIS IS MY 3RD AND LAST JEEP. IT HAS BEEN A PIECE OF CRAP.

I BOUGHT A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP BRAND NEW. ALL SERVICE HAS BEEN DONE AT EITHER THIS JEEP DEALERSHIP OR THE ONE IN LIMA OHIO WHERE I LIVED FOR A BRIEF TIME. BEGINNING IN MARCH OF 2018 MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE RUNNING WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES IT RESTARTED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE AND BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE FROM OHIO TO ARIZONA. IT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN TWO MORE TIMES ONCE ON THE FREEWAY-ALL AGAIN WITH NO WARNINGS. JEEP THEN HAD MY CAR IN AUGUST FOR NEARLY A MONTH-I WAS TOLD IT STALLS DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE AND TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST MEANING I DROVE IT FOR 1200 MILES AND THEN RETURNED IT TO THEM. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT MY OIL CONSUMPTION IS "WITHIN MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS" SO THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT BE DOING ANY REPAIRS AND THAT I NEED TO CHECK MY OIL LEVEL AT EACH GAS FILL UP AND ADD OIL AS NEEDED IN BETWEEN OILS CHANGES. THIS IS NOT IN THE MANUAL AND THIS CAR IS STILL UNDER 36,000 MILES AND UNTIL OCTOBER 30 THE BUMBER TO BUMBER WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY DUSTIN THE MANAGER OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CONTACT CHRYSLER AS THEY WOULD HAVE TO AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS OR CHANGES. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX AND GIVEN THE SAME RECOMMENDATION TO CHECK MY OIL AT EACH GAS FILL UP AND ADD OIL. THIS CAR HAS NO OIL LIGHT, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY WARNING OF ANY KIND BEFORE IT JUST STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND DO NOT TRUST THAT THIS AN AN ACCEPTABLE LOSS OF OIL AND THAT THEY CAN SET AN EXPECTATION THAT IS NOT LISTED ANYWHERE IN THE MANUAL.

JEEP IS BURNING OIL AND COOLANT BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. NEED TO ADD OIL AT LEAST EVERY 2 TO 3 WEEK AND COOLANT MONTHLY. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAVE EVER COME ON INDICATION THE VEHICLE IS LOW, IT HAS NOT OVER HEATED. HAVE FOUND JEEP TO BE UPTO 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL AND NO COOLANT IN RESERVOIR. NO SIGNS OF LEAKING OF ANY KIND. HAVE NOTICED A DISTINCT SMELL OF BURNT OIL AFTER LONG DRIVES. WHEN ADDING OIL AND COOLANT TODAY I FOUND A PINK FROTHY RESIDUE ON ALL THE HOUSE JOINTS FOR THE COOLANT. WHY AM I NOT GETTING ANY WARNING LIGHTS AND WHERE ARE THESE FLUIDS GOING TO. THERE IS DISTINCT METAL SOUND WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING NOW. I ADDRESSED THE OIL ISSUE WITH THE DEAL THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN AND I WAS TOLD I JUST NEED TO ADD OIL PERIODICALLY THAT "ALL VEHICLES" PERIODICALLY NEED OIL. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I OWNED.

THE COOLANT FAN WENT OFF TRACK AND STARTED SQUEALING AND GETTING STUCK, CAUSING THE FUSE TO BLOW. WITHIN A MONTH, AND AFTER REPLACING THE FUSE 3 TIMES, THE FAN MOTOR STOPPED WORKING AND BURNT UP COMPLETELY. ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER FAN, AND IT BLEW THE FUSE AGAIN AND BURNT UP THE NEW FAN MOTOR ALSO. ALSO, WITHIN THE LAST MONTH (TODAY BEING 9/20/2018) MY CAR HAS BEEN JUMPING AND SHAKING WHEN IN DRIVE MODE. MAINLY OCCURS AFTER SPEEDS OF 40+ MPH HAVE BEEN REACHED AND WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A LONGER LENGTH OF TIME.

I WENT OUT TO PICK UP DINNER.I LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING WHEN I WENT INTO THE RESTAURANT, CAME OUT TWO MINUTES LATER AND NOTICED A REALLY WEIRD RATTLING/REVVING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I POPPED THE HOOD AND THE WHOLE RADIATOR FAN AND HOUSING WAS WOBBLING AND HAD A TERRIBLE ELECTRICAL FIRE SMELL. I WAS THANKFULLY ABLE TO GET HOME,WHICH WAS ONLY FIVE MINUTES AWAY, BUT AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE DRIVEWAY THE MESSAGE "SERVICE ENGINE" CAME ONTO THE SCREEN.I POPPED THE HOOD AGAIN AND THE FAN LOCKED UP AND IS NO LONGER SPINNING. I SEE I'M NOT THE FIRST WITH THIS ISSUE...CAN WE PLEASE GET A RECALL?THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

IN MY DRIVEWAY. I LOVE BEHIND MY MOM AND WHEN I STOP TO TALK WITH WHILE SHE IS IN THE YARD AND LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON AND STOPS ME. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHTS OR JUST STUCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION EITHER JERKS REAL HARD OR MAKES THE CAR FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. COOLING FAN HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WHEN THE VEHICLE WASN'T 2 YRS OLD.

THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN MALFUNCTIONED AFTER JUST 50,000 MILES. VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. JEEP WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY AS THEY SAY IT ISN'T PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR DATABASE I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. FAILURE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND COULD RESULT IN A BLOWN MOTOR AND/OR OTHER DAMAGES RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT'S TIME THAT THE NHTSA ACTS FOR THE CONSUMER AND FORCES JEEP TO A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE FAN. NORMAL LIFE EXPECTANCY OF ELECTRIC FANS IS WELL OVER 5 YEARS/100,000 MILES. THIS PARTICULAR FAN IS, IN MOST CASES, NOT EVEN LASTING HALF THAT TIME. THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT JEEP RAN OUT OF THEM AND HAD/HAS LONG WAIT TIMES. DURING THIS PERIOD THE VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE. THIS IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR SUCH A NEWER MODEL VEHICLE.

AMONG OTHER ISSUES, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES TO ME, AND ALL APPEAR TO OCCUR WHILE MAKING TURNS AT LOW-MODERATE SPEED (<30MPH); THIS IS THE ONLY CONSISTENT FACTOR WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OUT (DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY WEATHER OR DRIVE/RUN TIME). THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED AROUND 30K MILES - THE ENGINE LOST POWER WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON LOCAL STREETS. VEHICLE'S DISPLAY FLASHED A NUMBER OF WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE INDICATING "VEHICLE NOT IN SHIFT TO PARK." ELECTRICAL SYSTEM APPEARED FULLY FUNCTIONAL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED MY CAR AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING REMAINED. THE NEXT RESTART REMOVED THE ETC WARNING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS REMOVED AFTER 4 RESTARTS (WITH REGULAR DRIVING). I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY UPDATED A MODULE AND I HAD TO PAY TO CLEAN THE ETC SENSOR (IT WAS ALLEGEDLY "STICKY" AND TRIGGERING A FALSE WARNING). RECENTLY, WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, THE ENGINE HAS CUT OUT ON ME 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TWO INSTANCES WERE BACK-TO-BACK (ONE ON EXITING A ROUNDABOUT), FOLLOWED BY A RIGHT-HAND TURN @ APPROX. 37200 MILES. IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS IN THE FAR-RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO DRIFT TO SAFETY. THE ENGINE STUTTERED UPON TRYING TO PUSH-TO-START BUT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS. THE NEXT MORNING, "OIL LOW" FLICKERED AND "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" LIT UNTIL ENGINE RESTART. OIL WAS/IS NOT LOW. AT 37400 MILES, THE ENGINE DIED WHILE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN ON A 5-LANE STREET AT NIGHT. AT 37450 MILES, THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MORNING WHILE MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN ON A MAIN ROAD. ALL OF THESE INSTANCES OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING (OTHER THAN "VEHICLE NOT IN SHIFT TO PARK" AFTER ENGINE CUT OUT) AND WITHOUT LOSS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

THE RADIATOR FAN IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. IT IS BREAKING DUE TO NOT HAVING A HEAT SHIELD ON IT AND IT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. JEEP FIXES THE PROBLEMS IN THE LATE 2016 MODELS BY PUTTING IN A METAL FAN AND TOOK OUT THE PLASTIC FAN. FEAR OF RENEGADE CATCHING FIRE. VEHICLE OVERHEATS IN THE PARKING LOT.

VEHICLE REFRIGERANT FOR THE AC COOLING SYSTEM IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE IN JUNE 2017 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO LEAK. SERVICE CENTER REFILLED THE REFRIGERANT AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO COLD AIR RUNNING THROUGH THE SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THE REFRIGERANT LEAKED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE TWICE DUE TO NEGLIGENCE. WHENEVER THE AC COMPONENT TRIES TO RUN, WHETHER IT IS PARKED OR MOVING, A LOUD HISSING NOISE IS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN IS VIBRATING ITSELF OFF. THE VEHICLE HAD LOW MILEAGE STILL- UNDER 45,000. LOOKED IT UP AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND APPARENTLY THE PART IS BACK ORDERED FOR MONTHS, WHICH MEANS I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE. SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER ISSUE TO ME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

A LOUD WOBBLING SOUND WAS NOTICED FROM THE ENGINE BAY OF THE VEHICLE. INVESTIGATION OF THE SOUND REVEALED THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN TO BE VIBRATING VIOLENTLY WHILE ENGAGED. SHORTLY AFTER THIS DISCOVERY THE FAN FAILED TO ENGAGE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVE LANDERS JEEP LOCATED AT 401 COLONEL GLENN PLAZA LOOP LITTLE ROCK, AR 72210. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS CONFIRMED TO BE THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AT 54,600 MILES. FAN WAS REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP AT MY EXPENSE.

PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT APPLYING IT, TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT TO GO OFF. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE HAD IT TOWED TO CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP. CAR STARTED FOR THEM THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID NO CODES SHOWED UP AND THAT THE CAR STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS LOW ON OIL AND 200 MILES PAST TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. SAID THIS WAS A FEATURE OF THE CAR -IF IT WAS LOW ON OIL IT WOULD JUST DIE SO IT COULDN'T BE DAMAGED BY DRIVING IT WITH LOW, OR NO, OIL, AND THAT NO WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THEY CHANGED THE OIL, PRONOUNCED IT FIXED AND I GOT IT BACK. 3 DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A HILLY, WINDY, 2-LANE ROAD, 25 MPH, THE CAR AGAIN LOST PROPULSION, THIS TIME WITHOUT JERKING FIRST. I WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWNHILL TO A WIDE SPOT IN THE ROAD AND STOP. WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A "SERVICE ENGINE" MESSAGE APPEARED. CALLED MY HUSBAND, WHEN HE GOT THERE WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY AND SOUNDED LIKE A BUNCH OF HEAVY METAL OBJECTS WERE BEING TUMBLED IN A METAL DRUM. CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER AS BEFORE. AFTER 2 DAYS THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT IT NEEDED AN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS, CAM SHAFT SENSOR, CRANK SHAFT AND SPARK PLUGS, PLUS THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. WANTED ME TO PAY FOR THE WORK. CALLED MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY, THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED SINCE IT WAS LESS THAN 40 MILES AWAY, SO IT WAS TOWED THERE. STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP AS TO WHAT THEY THINK THE PROBLEM IS, TODAY IS THE 4TH DAY THEY'VE HAD THE CAR.

ONGOING ISSUE, BUT TODAY I GOT IN MY JEEP AND ONCE AGAIN MY VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE TRANSMISSION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT GOES OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL.. ON TOP OF THAT I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING. MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN/ MAINTAIN VEHICLE CONTROL. I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE CAR 'JUMPING HARD INTO GEAR' AS MY HUSBAND PUTS IT; ALONG WITH IT TAKING OFF REALLY FAST, IT'S ALSO BEEN SOUNDING REALLY LOUD AND SHAKING WHEN IT REACHES SPEEDS UPWARDS OF 65 AND REFUSING TO CHANGE GEARS FROM TIME TO TIME... HOWEVER WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE THE JEEP HAS CHANGED ITS OWN GEARS STARTING ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING CAUSING IT TO MOVE INTO THE PORCH AND CAUSE SOME COSMETIC DAMAGE, THIS WAS OUR FIRST RECORDING OF THE ISSUE. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY 'UPDATED THE CPU' AND IT WORKED OK FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT HAS CONTINUALLY RETURNED TO HAVING THESE FAULTS AND HAS ONLY BEGAN TO WORSEN.. SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD TO REGULARLY GO IN FOR 'UPDATES' REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES AND MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES SUCH AS POWER LOCKS/POWER WINDOWS NOT RESPONDING AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING.. JUST LAST YEAR, LITERALLY 1 YEAR AND 1 DAY AGO WHILE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR BEGAN TO START ITS 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND DRIVERS REAR AXEL SNAPPED, CAUSING THE FRONT TO FOLLOW.. MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WHILE WAITING 2 MONTHS TO HAVE FIXED AND PAYING THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS JEEPS FAULT, HERE WE ARE AGAIN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL INSTANCES OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AND NOT ONLY FEAR FOR MY CHILDREN'S LIFE'S, BUT ALSO FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD. CAN WE FIX THESE ISSUES, OR AT LEAST SUPPLY ME WITH A VIABLE VEHICLE??

THIS 2015 JEEP RENEGADE BEGAN HAVING A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER SEEING THAT IT WAS THE COOLING FAN, I TOOK MEASURES TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. BEFORE THAT HAPPENED, THE FAN WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD, HAS 41, 000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY SOUTHPOINT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (WHO I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM) THAT THEY CANNOT OBTAIN THE PART, AND THEY REFUSED TO OPEN A CLAIM WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY SO THAT I COULD GET A RENTAL CAR. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THE DEALER WILL NOT START THE CLAIM PROCESS. RIGHT NOW MY JEEP IS AT THE DEALER, WHO WAS HAPPY TO INFORM ME THAT IF I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AND IT OVERHEATED, MY 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WOULD BE VOID. AFTER CONTACTING FIAT CHRYSLER, I STILL HAVE NOT OBTAINED ANY KIND OF RELIEF. I HAVE A $25,000 CAR THAT IS BASICALLY A BRICK. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT IS WORTHLESS. THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY CONTRACT ACTUALLY SUGGESTED USING AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT PARTS, WHICH WOULD VOID MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE COOLING FAN ISSUE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2.4 LITER TIGERSHARK ENGINE.SOME OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THEIR CARS CATCHING ON FIRE WHEN THE FAN MELTS. FIAT CHRYSLER KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM, YET THOUSANDS OF THESE TIGERSHARK EQUIPPED CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE BUT THEY ARE AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY.

TWICE NOW MY ENGINE COOLING FAN MOTOR HAS FAILED AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. I WAS LUCKY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TIME MY CAR WAS PARKED IDLING ABOUT 5 MINUTES WITH SLEEPING CHILDREN WHEN THE CAB FILLED WITH SMOKE AND WOKE THE ADULT. WAKE UP CHRYSLER! ..UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF

THE COOLING FAN "BURNED OUT" ON MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. ON NOVEMBER 4, 2017, I WAS TRAVELING I10 E BOUND FROM HOUSTON, TX TO RAYNE, LA (3 HR DRIVE) TO ATTEND MY YOUNGER BROTHER'S WEDDING WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR RAN HOT. LUCKILY FOR ME I WAS AT THE EXIT RAMP TO GET TO MY PARENT'S HOUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND I SAW, AND SMELLED SMOKE. I THEN CALLED MY DAD (WHO LITERALLY LIVES A MINUTE OR LESS FROM WHERE I WAS) FOR HIM TO COME AND CHECK OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, FLUIDS WERE ALL IN TACT, NOTHING SEEMED OUT OF PLACE, HE BASICALLY COULDN'T SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. HE THEN STARTED THE CAR AND WATCHED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND NOTICED THAT IT HADN'T SPIKED UP SO HE DROVE IT OFF THE EXIT AND HOME. THE CAR SAT ALL NIGHT AND WASN'T DRIVEN AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN MY DAD DROVE IT TO ADVANCED AUTO. THE EMPLOYEE CONNECTED THE MACHINE TO CHECK FOR ERRORS BUT NOTHING CAME BACK. MY DAD STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE FAN WASN'T SPINNING. HE CHECKED THE FUSE FOR THE FAN, NOTICED THE METAL PIECE INSIDE HAD SPLIT, SO WE BOUGHT ANOTHER FUSE. PUT THE FUSE IN, STARTED THE ENGINE AND A SECOND LATER THE FUSE POPPED AND SMOKE APPEARED. I'VE CALLED SEVERAL CDJR PLACES BETWEEN LOUISIANA AND TEXAS AND THEY'RE ALL TELLING ME THAT IT'LL TAKE UP TO 4 MONTHS BEFORE THE PART COMES IN AND GET FIXED BECAUSE IT IS ON BACK ORDER. IT IS FRUSTRATING FOR ME BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. OBVIOUSLY THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL IF THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE SINCE I CAN'T GET IT FIXED WITHIN THE NEXT 4 MONTHS AND I'VE BEEN QUOTED $600+ TO GET IT FIXED.

TWICE IN TWO WEEKS, WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF. THE FIRST TIME IS HAPPENED WAS ON OCTOBER 29TH, 2017 AND THE NEXT TIME WAS THIS MORNING NOVEMBER 9TH. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, AND THE OTHER HAPPENED WITH THE FOOT ON THE GAS TRYING TO MERGE ONTO I-90 FROM THE OGDEN ON RAMP. THE RADIO AND INTERIOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CONTINUE TO WORK, BUT THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF. TURNING THE KEY WON'T JUST TURN ON THE CAR AGAIN. YOU HAVE TO HOLD IT IN THE ON POSITION A FEW TIMES FOR IT TO FINALLY TURN ON.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AT (JERKS) AT 8 MPH EVERY ACCELERATION FROM A STAND STILL AND WHEN ACCELERATING, SERVICE REP AT DEALERSHIP SAID HE CAN FEEL IT AS WELL, BUT NO CODES COME UP WHEN PLACED ON MACHINE. CHRYSLER STATES TRANSMISSION RUNS AS DESIGNED. THE ONLY WAY TO NOT FEEL THE LAG IS TO GUN THE GAS FROM A STOP. TAKEN VEHICLE IN TWICE, FIRST TOLD A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR THE PROBLEM, SAID COMPUTER SOFTWARE NEEDED UPDATE. DIDN'T WORK, AS SOON AS I PULLED OUT OF DEALERSHIP, PROBLEM REMAINS. SECOND TRIP, THEY SAID THEY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE OF NO-CODES. (SAME PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET FROM OTHER CONSUMERS)

ON OCTOBER 12TH THE CAR STARTED MAKING AN ODD NOISE DRIVING IN THE CITY (NEVER OFF ROAD). I DIDN'T DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL OCTOBER 14TH AND IT WAS MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN. WE WERE TRYING TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THE CAR STARTED SMOKING NEAR THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND WE DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID THE FAN HAD STOPPED WORKING. WE CALLED THE ARRIGO DEALERSHIP IN FORT PIERCE WHO SAID I NEED A FAN ASSEMBLY UNIT AND NEEDED TO PAY $263 UPFRONT. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER AND SHOULD TAKE 1-2 MONTHS BUT MAY BE LONGER. ONCE IT IS DELIVERED IT WOULD COST $260 FOR LABOR. SINCE MY CAR HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT AND THE WARRANTY ENDED AT 36,000 THE REPAIR ISN'T COVERED AND NO LOANER CAR WILL BE PROVIDED. ALSO, DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR TO PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE. WHAT? SO MY MECHANIC CALLED AROUND TO FIND THE PART ELSEWHERE. HE SPOKE TO SCHUMACHER JEEP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT IS A KNOW ISSUE AND ASKED MY MECHANIC IF HE WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT ON THE WAITING LIST. WHEN HE ASKED HOW LONG THE WAITING LIST IS, THE GENTLEMAN REPLIED THERE ARE APPROX 4700 PARTS REQUEST BEFORE US AND THERE IS NO ETA AT THIS TIME IT COULD BE 1-4 MONTHS. THIS IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. WHEN I SEARCH THE NET, THERE ARE SOOOOOOOO MANY SIMILAR ISSUES AND JEEP IS SAYING THIS IS NOT A RECALL. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SITE?

THE COOLANT FAN IS BAD AND THEY KNOW ABOUT IT NOW I HAVE TO BE WITH OUT MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH BECAUSE I HAVE TO WAIT FOR NEW DESIGN ONE FROM PARIS
THE RADIATOR FAN HAS GONE OUT FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE PART IS ON NATIONAL RECALL. THE FAN WAS FIRST REPLACED AT ABOUT 38,000 MILES AFTER FAILING. THE PART FAILED AGAIN AT ABOUT 67,000 MILES. I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THAT THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A PART IN THE NEXT SHIPMENT IN ABOUT A WEEK AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN MORE WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR. I FOUND A UNIVERSAL FAN THAT WAS COMPATIBLE AND HAD IT INSTALLED IN EARLY SEPTEMBER. YESTERDAY, THE FAN FAILED AGAIN AND WIRING LEADING TO FAN HAS MELTED. PARTS ARE STILL ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE FIRST TIME THE PART FAILED (PREVIOUS REPORT FILED), I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE THIRD TIME, THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND IDLING AND HAD BEEN FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES.

MY JEEP RENEGADE OVERHEATED AND BROKE DOWN ON 8-1-17, MORE THAN 4 HOURS FROM OUR HOME. WE HAD TO GET THE JEEP BACK TO WHERE WE LIVED AND THE DEALER LET US KNOW IT WAS THE COOLANT FAN. THEY LET US KNOW IT WAS ON A MAJOR BACK ORDER AND THERE WAS NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR THIS TO BE RECTIFIED. WE ARE NOW IN SEPTEMBER AND STILL NO PARTS TO FIX MY JEEP THAT I AM PAYING A PAYMENT FOR AND IS UNDER WARRANTY. JEEPS SHOULD RECALL THIS PART AND HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES AND MAKE GOOD ON THESE CAR NOTES.

THE FAN ASSEMBLY (68360299AA) IN THE FRONT OF MY ENGINE STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS CAUSES A CHAIN REACTION THAT KILLED MY RESISTOR (68247207AA) AND RELAY (4727370AA). WITHOUT THESE PARTS OPERATING, MY ENGINE QUICKLY OVERHEATS. AFTER TAKING MY RENEGADE TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAN ASSEMBLY IS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL DECEMBER 2017 AND THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ETA.

AT JUST UNDER 48K MILES, RADIATOR FAN GAVE OUT. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON A CITY STREET, THE AC BEGAN TO BLOW OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AIR AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP RENEGADE WHEN IT STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD CLANKY NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SINCE I WAS VERY NEAR ONE AND IMMEDIATELY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID TO TURN CAR OFF BECAUSE IT WAS GOING TO OVER HEAT. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN THAT IS BAD. THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL BE ABLE TO FIXED SINCE THE PART IS SEVERELY BACKORDERED SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH SIMILAR JEEP VEHICLES. I ASKED IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS IN JEEP FORUMS AND BLOGS OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND CARS ACTUALLY OVERHEATING AND ALMOST CATCHING ON FIRE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. MY CAR IS SITTING AT THE DEALER WITH AN UNKNOWN TIMELINE TO GET FIXED AND COMING OUT OF POCKET FOR A RENTAL. UNACCEPTABLE TO BE PUT IN THIS KIND OF RISK IF IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. RECALL NEEDS TO BE INITIATED.

I HAVE HAD THE JEEP FOR 18 MONTHS, BOUGHT BRAND NEW, AND HAVE IN SHOP AT LEAST 14 TIMES. THE SCARIEST PROBLEM WAS WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC, GOT UP TO ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE CAR WENT INTO "LOCKDOWN". CAR PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL, AIR BAGS TURNED OFF, BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, AND JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER SYSTEM TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND THE 1ST 3 TIMES, THEY KEPT SAYING IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. TURNED OUT THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT WAS READING IT WAS -40 DEGREES AND THIS CAUSED IT. NOW I HAVE A SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM WARNING, AFTER HAVING TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AFTER ONLY 28K MILES. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK ON LEMON LAW IN FLORIDA, BUT NOW MY JEEP REP IS GONE AND LOOKS LIKE I HAVE TO START THE PROCESS OVER. WHY DOESN'T JEEP JUST RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND I WON'T LET MY WIFE OR SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT I NEED IT TO GET TO WORK, RISKING MY LIFE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.

THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS VEHICLE REFERENCE NUMBER (FEBRUARY 21 2017 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10956054).

APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS DIED FOUR TIMES, THE KEY FOB(S) WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, THE CLOCK CONTINUOUSLY RESETS THE DATE/TIME, AND THE WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ONCE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE JEEP'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TWICE DUE TO DEAD BATTERIES. THIS WEEKEND, THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING AND IT DOES NOT TURN ON. THESE CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS BOTH THE USE AND VALUE OF MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, IT PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY; WINTER IS UPON US AND MY WIFE UTILIZES THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR TWO CHILDREN, WHOM ARE EACH UNDER THE AGE OF THREE YEARS OLD. THE THOUGHT OF THEM BEING STRANDED WITH NO HEATER DUE TO CONTINUOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES IS UNNERVING. I INITIALLY CONSIDERED THIS TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT; HOWEVER, I'VE ASKED TWO ADDITIONAL 2015 JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS IF THEY HAVE ENCOUNTERED ANY SIMILAR INSTANCES - BOTH HAVE RETURNED THEIR RENEGADE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THEM THE VEHICLE SIMPLY NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS IS NOT A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE!

SALESMAN SAID THEY COULD MAKE IT LIKE THE ONE WE WANTED (WE PICKED BY COLOR) BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADD REMOTE START AND HEATED SEATS. WE PICKED IT UP NOTICING THEY BUTCHERED THE SEAT PUTTING IN HEATED SEATS. WE GET HOME WITH IT AND SHUT IT OFF MIND YOU THIS IS BRAND NEW, TO WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT CAUSE I HEAR A CAR RUNNING IN THE GARAGE ITS THE JEEP.

THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH MY MONEY BACK. DOES IT AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES AND TOOK IT IN 3 MORE TIMES FOR SHUTTING OFF ON HIGHWAY, REAR END GROWLING STILL AND TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING. GET IT BACK WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT WE DID UPDATES TO THE COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION. NEXT DAY RADIO STARTS CHANGING STATIONS ON ITS OWN AS I RECORD IT WITH MY PHONE, LIGHTS GOING OFF AND ON, WINDOWS NOT WORKING AND STILL NOT SHIFTING. THEY REPLACED REAR END PIG, RADIO, WIRING HARNESS AS THEY SAID THE GUY BENT A PIN INSTALLING REMOTE STARTER. THEN AT 17,000 MILES REAR END AND TRANSMISSION START DOING IT AGAIN AND THE SHORTING COMES BACK, NEW REAR PINION AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, NEW RADIO AGAIN AS THE OTHER ONE SHORTED OUT, TRANSMISSION STILL NOT SHIFTING. FILED FOR LEMON LAW CHRYSLER COMES BACK WITH THE CAR IS FINE ITS DUE TO THE AFTER MARKET EQUIPMENT I HAD INSTALLED. YOUR DEALER SHIP IS WHO HAD IT INSTALLED BRAND NEW VEHICLE. STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING OR TAKING OFF WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL. STUCK WITH THIS JUNK CAUSE THEY WON'T TAKE IT BACK. CALLED LAWYERS AND THEY SAID LOVE TO HELP BUT THAT WAS A ONE AND DONE DEAL. NEVER BUY CHRYSLER AGAIN.
PURCHASED VEHICLE IN JULY 2015, WITH 12 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. VEHICLE DIED WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 12 MPH ON MAY 2016. HAD FULL ELECTRICAL POWER, BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND IGNITION DID NOT EVEN MAKE "CLICK" NOISE. TOWED BY FCA 24H SERVICE TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP (AND NOT THE ONE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND REQUESTED IT GO TO). AFTER 3 DAYS WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED OIL, OIL CHANGED WAS PERFORMED, AND THAT IT WAS FINE. OIL STARTED "DISAPPEARING" - NO LEAK, WASN'T BURNING. OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON CONTINUOUSLY. CALLED FCA TO ALERT TO PROBLEM AND ASK WARRANTY QUESTIONS. WAS TOLD TO PUT OIL IN AND THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH 2015 RENEGADES; WARNED REP THAT CONTINUED DRIVING WITH NO OIL WOULD SEIZE ENGINE. CALLED ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM - ENGINE SEIZED, WITH ONLY 9288 MILES ON IT, ON AUG 29 2016 WHILE ENTERING NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPX.15 MPH - FIRST STARTED SHAKING AND RUMBLING LOUDLY, SPUTTERING AND DYING WHILE IN MOTION, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT START AFTER THAT. HAD TOWED TO ORIGINAL PURCHASE DEALERSHIP. WAS FIRST TOLD WAS A CYLINDER HEAD AND THAT WAS OIL IN THE SPARK PLUG SOCKETS AND ELSEWHERE (LUCKY IT DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING). WEEK LATER WAS TOLD THAT A WHOLE NEW ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO GO IN, AS IT WAS SEIZED. ENGINE HAS FINALLY BEEN REPLACED AFTER 30 DAYS, AS DEALER HAD TO WAIT FOR FCA APPROVAL. NOW OUT OF POCKET ALMOST $400 FOR VEHICLE RENTALS AND TOWING, DESPITE FCA PROMISES TO PROVIDE. FILED FOR BUY BACK PROCESS AND GIVEN RUN AROUND. HAVE NOT HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A TOTAL OF 37 DAYS THIS YEAR - 35 WHICH ARE CONSECUTIVE. STILL WAITING FOR FCA RESPONSE; HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND REP WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS. STAY FAR AWAY FROM ANY FCA PRODUCED VEHICLE THAT HAS THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

RENEGADE WHEN IN MOTION GOING 40MPH AND ENCOUNTERS A HILL/INCREASE IN GRADE, WILL NOT SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR. THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN THE LOWER GEAR @ 40MPH AS THE ENGINE REV'S OVER 3,000RPM BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE AND WON'T KICK-IN THE HIGHER GEAR. HAVE TO NEARLY PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO FORCE THE VEHICLE TO RAMP THE RPM'S TO 4-5,000 TO GET IT TO SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. FEELS LIKE I'M GOING TO BLOW THE ENGINE WHEN I HAVE TO DO THIS BUT IT WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR OVER A MONTH. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE ARE SEVERAL SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE RENEGADE, SO TRY THAT AND SEE IF IT FIXES THE ISSUE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR 7 SOFTWARE UPDATES.
WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, CAR HESITATES TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THEN LURCHES/JERKS FORWARD, RUNNING ROUGH FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AS IT FINALLY STARTS MOVING FORWARD. DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC; THE VEHICLE IS IMMOBILE AS IT HESITATES/STALLS! HAS NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN YET BUT HESITATES LONG ENOUGH THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE WERE MORE SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE 2015 RENEGADE. TOOK IN TODAY TO BE SERVICED; 7 FLASH SOFTWARE UPDATES WHICH INCLUDED A TRANSMISSION UPDATE. THE DEALER SAID TO SEE IF IT DRIVES BETTER AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATES. SCARY!

THE VEHICLES TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON DURING NORMAL DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF THROTTLE AN POWER MAKING YOU EXIT TO SHOULDER OR SOMETIMES AFTER 10 SEC OR SO THE POWER WILL RETURN. CAR DOES NOT DIE IT JUST TAKES THROTTLE CONTROL AWAY WHILE TRACTION LIGHT FLASHES. THIS IS ALL DURING NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS AND NORMAL DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO SEEN A HUGE AMOUNT OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE FORUMS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUR TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO FIX YET. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE HER BRAND NEW JEEP. IT'S REALLY RIDICULOUS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS AN NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES. AND IF THIS DOESN'T GET CORRECTED SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON A REGULAR BASIS BUT IT'S HARD TO RECREATE ON THE SPOT SO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE DEALER TO BELIEVE IT IS HAPPENING BUT IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB THERE IS TONS OF INFO ON THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED THE FIRST MODEL OF THE JEEP RENEGADE IN MAY 2015. IT HAS REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY. IN THE PAST YEAR, THE KEYLESS ENTRY HAS STOPPED WORKING 7 TIMES. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES. THERE IS NO WAY TO START THE CAR, EVEN WHEN YOU TAKE THE METAL PART OF THE KEY AND TOUCH IT TO THE START BUTTON. I'VE BEEN STRANDED WITHOUT A VEHICLE EACH TIME. JEEP SAYS THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE BUT I'VE READ MULTIPLE JEEP FORUMS STATING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. FOR A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT. THE SECOND TO LAST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, THEY SWITCHED THE BATTERY AND SAID THAT WOULD FIX IT. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM CAME BACK. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR FEAR THAT I COULD BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WITHOUT CELL SERVICE. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE ISSUE IS GOING TO OCCUR, IT HAPPENED TWICE LAST WEEK AND THE FIRST TIME IT GOT TOWED TO THE DEALER. BY THE TIME IT GOT THERE, THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE STARTING THE CAR AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE WAS NO FIX.

2015 JEEP RENEGADE: VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD; LIKE A CANON. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED AN UPDATE. PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED. VEHICLE MAKES A RINGING SOUND LIKE A PHONE WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65 MILES PER HOUR. VEHICLE RATTLES A LOT ESPECIALLY IN THE SPEAKER AREAS AND ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT AREA. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM FIGURE OUT THE RATTLES THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND IT. THE SEATS DO NOT HEAT UP WELL. WHEN IT IS TURNED ON HIGH, IT FEELS LIKE IT IS ON THE LOW SETTING STILL. WHEN THE STEERING WHEN IS BEING TURNED AT ANY SPEED IT MAKES A CREAKING SOUND.

2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING MY BRAND NEW RENEGADE, IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY & I HAD TO COAST OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. NOT ONLY DID MY JEEP LEAVE ME STRANDED, I COULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER AT 80 MILES AN HOUR. JUST BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN, MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS AND BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS WERE HITTING THE RED MARKS. IT WAS SERVICED, AND GIVEN 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. A WEEK LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. YOU CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE, INSTEAD IT DIES, HOWEVER THE RPM'S GO UP AS HIGH AS THEY CAN GO BUT MY CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS. NOW IT IS IN THE SHOP (FOR OVER A WEEK), SUPPOSEDLY GETTING A NEW FUEL PUMP, WHICH I DO NOT THINK IS THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC PROBLEMS AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT KEEPS HAPPENING. AFTER PUTTING ME IN DANGER TWICE, I FEEL CERTAIN AS SOON AS I GET MY NEW FUEL PUMP AND DRIVE HOME, THIS WILL BREAK DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP ONE MONTH, BRAND NEW.

ON OCTOBER 2, 2015 I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET NEAR MY HOME. AS I CAME TO A STOPLIGHT THE ENGINE CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD, THE ENGINE SIMPLY CUT OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND RECEIVED THE MESSAGE 'SHIFT TO PARK, THEN TO DRIVE.' AT THIS POINT I WAS A HAZARD IN THE ROAD THAT OTHER VEHICLES HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY MILE TO A SPOT WHERE I COULD TURN AROUND. AS I TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET THE ENGINE AGAIN CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE STREET TO A SAFE PARKING SPOT. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND DRIVE IT MILE TO MY HOME WHERE I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR NEARLY A WEEK, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY STATED TO ME THAT THEY ATTACHED THE CHRYSLER COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NO ERRORS REGISTERED AND THAT THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY DROVE IT FOR 10 MILES AND COULD NOT GET THE ISSUE TO REPEAT, SO THEY TOLD ME TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE DRIVING IT. ON OCT 9 THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE TURNING, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUT OFF AND AGAIN DISPLAYED NO WARNING LIGHTS. ON OCT 15 THE ENGINE AGAIN CUT OFF, BUT THIS TIME ON AN INCLINE AND ALMOST ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. MY SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE RENEGADE ARE AS FOLLOWS:1) NONE OF THE ENGINE SENSING SYSTEMS REGISTERED THE LOW OIL, 2) IF THE LOW OIL LEVEL TRIGGERED THE ENGINE SAFETY CUTOFF WHY WAS THIS NOT REGISTERED IN THE VEHICLE'S FAULT LOG, AND 3) AFTER THE ENGINE SAFETY CUTOFF WAS TRIGGERED AND THERE WERE NO ERROR OR CHECK ENGINE MESSAGES OF ANY KIND. THEY COULD FIND NO RECORD OF ANY PROBLEMS.

MY TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SLIPPING IN THE LOWER GEARS, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I TURNED CORNERS. FINALLY THE CAR GOT STUCK IN 5TH GEAR, AND BARELY GOES WHEN I HIT THE GAS. BOTH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I AM TAKING IT IN.

I HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS OF MY JEEP RENEGADE(9 SPEED AUTOMATIC) STALLING ON ME WHEN STOPPED AND IN DRIVE AND WHEN IN PARK. THE ENGINE WOULD SHUTTER INTERMITTENTLY. I NOTICE THAT WHEN IN PARK THE TACHOMETER WOULD REV UP WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING PRESSED DOWN. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AT STOPS OR RED LIGHTS TO RESTART CAR AND PUT BACK INTO DRIVE TO GET GOING. EVEN THEN THE CAR WOULD LAG TRYING TO GET BACK UP TO SPEED. IT WOULD SHUTTER WHEN DRIVING AT LOW MPH. THIS IS HORRIBLE AND I AM AFRAID I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. MY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT WHEN I HAD THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME( AFTER I DROVE RIGHT OF THE LOT). SO HERE IT IS A MONTH AND HALF LATER AND THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED BUT WORSE THAN BEFORE. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK TO SERVICE AGAIN. HOWEVER, I AM GOING TO ASK FOR THEM TO TOW JEEP BECAUSE THIS CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE RIGHT NOW TO BE DRIVEN SAFELY!

PURCHASED THE CAR ON 7/28/15 THINKING THAT THIS WOULD BE ONE SOLID RELIABLE VEHICLE. DAY 3 AFTER 130 MILES, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ON ITS OWN, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WENT BACK TO A TWO WHEEL DRIVE. ALTHOUGH VEHICLE DIDN'T STOP OR JOLT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY BUT COULD FEEL THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. TOOK IT TO DEALER, STILL SITTING THERE, APPARENTLY NEEDS A WHOLE TRANSMISSION COMPONENT REPLACEMENT AND SOME HARNESS REPLACED. SUPER UNRELIABLE CAR! NOT SURE IF IT WILL DO SAME THING AGAIN. GLAD IT DIDN'T STOP IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY! JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES! NOT SURE WHY SAFETY OFFICIALS ARE NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY YET EVEN AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON A BRAND NEW MODEL CAR!

BOUGHT RENEGADE SPORT FWD APRIL 28, 2015. 1. DOOR LOCKS/KEY-FOB STOPPED WORKING BY JUNE 1ST. TOOK TO DEALER, SAID CHRYSLER KNEW OF ISSUE, TRYING TO GET A "PERMANENT" FIX, BUT A TEMP FIX WAS TO RE-SET THE COMPUTER SYSTEM; THEY DID AND IT LASTED LESS THAN 2 HOURS. HAVE TO USE KEY TO UNLOCK DRIVER DOOR, THEN REACH AROUND AND UNLOCK/LOCK THE OTHER 3 DOORS BY HAND ONCE INSIDE THE CAR. "LUCKILY", THE KEY-FOB STILL LOCKS/UNLOCKS THE REAR LIFT GATE. 2. REAR WIPER BLADE TURNS ON RANDOMLY WHEN FRONT WIPERS ARE ON. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE REAR WIPER IS TO TURN OFF THE FRONT WIPERS, WAIT A FEW SECONDS, THEN TURN THEM BACK ON. 3. CAR SAT FOR 3 DAYS (JULY 15-17), AND BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED/DEAD. KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, THEY TRIED TO JUMP IT WITH A JUMP-BOX, JEEP WOULDN'T TURN OVER, SO HAD TO JUMP WITH THE TOW TRUCK'S BATTERY CONNECTED TO JUMPER CABLES AND AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE ELECTRICAL GADGETS STARTED TO WORK, AND SEVERAL MINUTES LATER ON THE CHARGE, IT FINALLY TURNED OVER. 4. CAR TRANSMISSION "JERKING" WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (APPROX. 5 MPH). THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY BRAND NEW CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK INTO GEAR. THE CAR BECAME IMMOBILIZED AND HAD TO GET TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL VALVE AND DID NOT TEST FOR TRANSMISSION OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, SO THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE IN THE CAR BECAUSE TWO UPDATES WERE AVAILABLE. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT BROKE DOWN FOR A THIRD TIME, AGAIN AFTER ONLY 2 DAYS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND CHRYSLER IS RELUCTANT TO BUYBACK THE VEHICLE. NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG.
