2015 JEEP RENEGADE Unknown Or Other Problems

Unknown

Driver sun visor does not stay up. This is a VERY common occurrence with ALL Jeep Renegades, of all years. This is a safety issue because it either hangs in the line of sight of the driver, or, the driver is blinded by the sun. Jeep quotes the repair from $600-2800. How can they request this of every Renegade driver and NOT issue a recall?

In January 2023 and April 2023, a recalled was serviced on. The recall of W80 Oil Consumption Inspection. Was performed twice. So many times I have put the 2015 Jeep Renegade in the service shop countless times. I was in the shop for over a month the oil pressure light comes on every 5 to 30 seconds. I have taken it to another service shop however, they suggest I take it back to the original service shop who original service the Jeep.

While I was driving, my sunshade visor fell down as if it were moved to block the sun while I was driving (I did not do it). I immediately pushed it back up because I could not see, it blocked my entire front windshield vision. After pushing it up, it fell back down within minutes. I immediately took it out of the holder and put it to the side. After researching the issue it is a common known issue. Service advisors say "they all do that". My question is, why would such a dangerous issue be widely accepted? Is increased chance of accident and death acceptable when it can be fixed? I have stopped 23 separate people and asked them about their sunvisor and EVERY SINGLE ONE had this same issue (ranging from 2015 to 2020).

cap-less fuel tank is broken, I was pumping my gas and pulled the exterior part off the cap-less fuel tank and It came right off. THAT SHOULD not happen

Battery went dead, vehicle was jump started as per guide protocol, then vehicle would not shift out of Park. Had to use Emergency towing and release the shift with the shift lever override as described in the manual. Vehicle will now only go into gear with screwdriver, but it still will not recognize it is in gear and will not move. Warning lights of service transmission. Battery changed, vehicle is just sitting, there is NO explanation as to what to do, dealerships have no clue. Vehicle will roll and cause an accident if not propped behind the tires. Through Jeep forum, it is noted that this is an ongoing issue with this specific year/make/model. The "fix" is over $2000, it should be a recall and the manufacturers responsibility since it is a known issue. Jeep USED to be a reliable, dependable brand, unfortunately, this is the last one we will ever own.

Vehicle was parked for a couple of hours on neighborhood street. Owner entered vehicle, shut driver door and then back windshield spontaneously shattered.

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.

It mostly happens in the morning. While I’m driving to work which is less than 5 minutes away from where I live. The car would just shut down while I’m driving, lights would flicker and the car will stop. I would have to wait a few minutes or more to restart the vehicle and the drives normal. I bought the car from Carmax in May or June 2021. They told me there were no recalls. I look up the problem I’m having and found a previous recall about the same issue, on the same year, make and model. Need help

While I was in the vehicle putting a 5 month old child in the car seat I had the door open. My wife was putting stuff in the passenger side door. Not thinking she got the remote start to cool the car off. Obviously the car wouldn’t start because the doors open. She tossed the keys in the center console like she normally does and shut the passenger door. I shut the drivers side rear door after placing the child in the car seat. All doors are locked and the keys are in the car. Unable to gain entry since we are not at home. 911 was called and police and fire showed up promptly and gain entry. The child is fine but we feel this should be addressed. I have been able to recreate the situation multiple times.

I PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE ON A MONDAY GOT READY TO GO THE VERY NEXT DAY CAR STARTED BUT WOULDN'T GO IN GEAR AND THE DASH BOARD WAS SAYING SERVICE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THERE WAS NO WARNING ANY TIME BEFORE

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.

VEHICLE VIN: [XXX], JEEP RENEGADE, 57000 MILES I PURCHASED A JEEP RENEGADE FOR MY WIFE AT [XXX] IN KILLEEN. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE DEALERSHIP RAN INTO A VIN ERROR THAT WE WERE TOLD WAS FIXED, BUT IT NEVER WAS BECAUSE WE REMAIN HAVING ISSUES WITH INSURANCE. I WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LOOKED UP NHTSA DOCUMENTATION THAT SAYS THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER UPON FINDING A DISCREPANCY AND APPARENTLY THIS WAS NEVER DONE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD US THE JEEP WAS IN A MINOR ACCIDENT AND WE FOUND OUT THE CRASH WAS WORSE THAN MINOR, THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ONLY ONE KEY FOB. 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. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RESPOND TO THESE ISSUES AND I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE TO HELP. I HAVE GONE UP THERE AND SPOKE TO THE MANAGER AT SALES AND AT PARTS/SERVICE. THEY TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK AFTER GETTING MY INFORMATION, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. DEALERSHIP LOCATION: [XXX] - 5200 E. CENTRAL TEXAS EXPY IN KILLEEN 76542, PH.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THERMOSTAT LIGHT CONTINUED TO RISE UNTIL MY CAR SHUT DOWN. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES IT STARTED AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND IF I IDLE AT ALL THE THERMOSTAT CLIMBS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS LISTED AS A RECALL AS THE ENGINE OVERHEATS AND FAULTY COOLING SYSTEM. I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL BUT HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

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.

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.

MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE HAS A DEFECT . THE KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT NEW. IT IS AN ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN'T JUST WALK AWAY FROM MY VEHICLE WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE IT CAN GET STOLEN. I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THOUGH I TRY EVERYTHING, EVEN STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND DRIVING IT AROUND FOR A LITTLE LONGER. EVEN THE CAR SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THEY CAN'T GET THE KEY OUT.

DOORS WILL NOT LOCK / UNLOCK WITH KEY FAB. LIGHTS FLASH AS IF LOCKING BUT DONT LOCK. JEEP REMAINS OPEN AND VULNERABLE TO THEFT WITHOUT YOU KNOWING.

THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR, I GET IN CAR ACCIDENT IN THEIR LOANER CAR I HAD INSURANCE BUT ONLY LIABILITY.

AGAIN, MUST PUT IN PULL OUT REPEATEDLY AND TURN WHEEL, WHICH IS DIFFICULT WHEN CAR IS OFF, AND EVENTUALLY GET LUCKY.

I ALSO WENT THROUGH THE CHRYSLER DISPUTE RESOLUTION. WHICH WAS UNFAVORABLE TO MYSELF DUE TO DEALERSHIP CLAIMING NOTHING WAS WRONG. DEALERSHIP DID NOT NOTATE TRUE EXPERIENCES WITH THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER. VEHICLE STILL STALLED AND LUNGED THEREAFTER. I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT DUE TO SAFETY REASONS AND HAD DEALERSHIP BUY IT BACK AT BLUEBOOK VALUE SO THAT I COULD PURCHASE A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION.

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 SOUND CAN GET VERY LOUD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO HEAR WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE SURROUNDINGS (HORN, SIREN, ETC). THE AUTHORIZED JEEP SERVICE STATION HAS BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM BUT ACKNOWLEDGES THEY CAN HEAR THE SOUND. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SEVERAL JEEP RENEGADE FORUMS, STATING THE WARRANTIED DIFFERENTIAL WAS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED, THEY DEEMED THIS 'NOT NECESSARILY THE PROBLEM'.FCA HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THIS ISSUE AND SEEMS TO THINK IT POSES NO SAFETY CONCERN.

THE SEAL BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE TOP OF THE DRIVER DOOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BY THE DEALER. THE SEAL CONTINUES TO CRACK ALLOWING WIND AND WATER TO ENTER THE CABIN. THE SOUND IS LOUD ENOUGH TO DROWN OUT THE RADIO AND IS DISTRACTING. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND ALLOW IT TO COOL OFF AND THE SMOKE TO DISSIPATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE PUTNAM CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE DEALER (3 CALIFORNIA DR, BURLINGAME, CA 94010; 650-558-5612) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FAN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NORMANDIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (900 CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY AUTO MALL, SAN JOSE, CA 95136; 408-266-9500) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FIRST DIAGNOSIS RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32481073. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR PART WAS ON BACKORDER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,474.

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?

WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL NOT SPEED UP. I PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT KEEPS GOING AT THE SAME SPEED. WHEN I BRAKE IT PULLS, LIKE IF I WAS REPEATEDLY PRESSING AND LETTING GO OF THE BRAKES. THE WHEELS HAVE WORN OUT TWICE, HAVING HAD NEW CARS BEFORE AND DRIVING THE SAME ROADS AND DISTANCE I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE FIXED MY BREAKS ONCE WICH IS UNUSUAL FOR HOW NEW THIS CAR IS AND NOW MY BREAKS ARE MAKING SQUEAKING NOISE.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO PULL OUT OF A FULL STOP AT A STOP SIGN INTERSECTION I PRESSED THE GAS BUT THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS ALMOST IN NEUTRAL OR HAD STALLED COMPLETELY. AFTER DOUBLE CHECKING THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND CHECKING MY DASHBOARD FOR ERRORS, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND THEN SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND IT BEGAN MOVING FINELY WITH THE GAS PEDAL. THE EVENT WAS SCARY HOWEVER BECAUSE FOR THAT MOMENT AS I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD I BEEN ON A BUSIER ROAD. THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNED ON AND RUNNING FOR 2 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS EVENT OCCURRING. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT.

HORN WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK IT INTO DEALER AND THEY REPLICATED THE PROBLEM AND PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. WORKED FINE FOR A WEEK OR TWO, BUT INTERMITTENT INOPERABLE HORN ISSUES BEGAN AGAIN. SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT'S NEEDED TO ALERT PEDESTRIANS OR VEHICLE THAT DON'T SEE YOU. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I BARELY AVOIDED A CARS THAT APPARENTLY DIDN'T SEE ME WHEN THEY CUT IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE WAS AT SLOW SPEED IN THE CITY AND THE OTHER WAS AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. AN INOPERABLE HORN IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO HOPEFULLY FIND THE PROBLEM.

SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR IT SOMETIMES STOPS DEAD IN ITS TRACK AS I START TO DRIVE. I AM USUALLY GOING SLOW WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THE SOFTWARE HAD TO BE UPDATED AND I HAD A LOT OF THEM. NOW, THE AIR BROKE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR SERVICE. I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK WHAT THE PROBLEM IS NOW. CONSIDERING TURNING THE CAR IN.

RECENTLY HAD MY APARTMENT BROKEN INTO AND ONE OF THE THINGS STOLEN WAS MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE KEYLESS ENTRY/START KEY FOB. SINCE THIS PERSON KNOWS WHERE I LIVE I NEEDED TO HAVE MY FOB RESET AND THE STOLEN ONE DELETED FROM THE MEMORY. TURNS OUT FOR THE JEEP RENEGADE ONLY THE EXISTING FOBS CAN NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE MEMORY UNLESS THEY HAVE THE PHYSICAL FOB. NOW I HAVE TO FEAR THAT MY CAR CAN BE STOLEN AND BROKEN INTO AT ANY TIME AS I AM UNABLE TO MOVE ANYTIME SOON. JEEP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND STATES THERE IS SIMPLY NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AND IT HAS BEEN FIXED IN NEWER MODELS. I HAVE GOTTEN ZERO SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW TO PROCEED SO MY CAR IS NOT STOLEN OR DAMAGED BY THE CREEP WHO HAS MY FOB. THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RESET TO MAKE A WHOLE NEW SET OF FOBS SINCE THE VIN ON THE RENEGADE DOES NOT ALLOW FOR TOTAL RESET OF KEYLESS SYSTEM.

AFTER VEHICLE IS AT OPERATING TEMP. VEHICLE STOPPED AT LIGHT, TURNING LEFT AND ACCELATERING AWAY, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE LOSES POWER LIKE IT WANTS TO HALT VEHICLE FOR 5-10 SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BIT, RELEASE ACCELERATION PEDAL, AND REAPPLIED TO REGAIN FULL FUNCTION AND ACCELERATION. HAPPENS EITHER TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT ON DRY PAVEMENT. RENEGADE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES. SERVICE MANAGER ROAD TESTED VEHICLE AND VERIFIED CONCERN. DEALERSHIP HAD A TECH ADVISOR STATE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, IT IS INHERENT WITH RENEGADES. FCA CURRENTLY HAS NO KNOW APPLICATION TO CORRECT THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. HAVE HAD VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP APRIL, 2016,JULY, 2016, OCTOBER 2016, FEBRUARY 2017 AND MARCH 2017.

WAS GOING APPROXIMATE 25-30 MPH SWITCHED LANES AND THE TRAFFIC STOP I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND HERE WAS A GRINDING FELLING AND HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR AND DID SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY JEEP AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND HAVE LESS THAN 5K MILES ON IT. TODAY I WAS MAKING A NORMAL RIGHT HAND TURN (NOT SHARP OR ANYTHING) AND AS I WAS TURNING THE JEEP LOST ALL POWER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH.

I HAVE HAD A "SERVICE IN 30 DAYS, I'M NOW ON 6 DAYS" AND I HAVE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS TO HAVE THE SERVICE MESSAGE REMOVED FROM WHEN I START THE JEEP BUT THE MESSAGE NEVER GOES AWAY, I HAVE HAD THE SERVICE DONE TWICE NOW TO GET THE MESSAGE TO GO AWAY BUT IT NEVER DOES, THE DATE JUST GOES DOWN AND I HAVE NO WAY TO REMOVE THE MESSAGE, AND APPARENTLY DEALERS CAN'T EITHER, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I HIT DAY 1 OR BEYOND?

AT 1040 MILES WHILE GOING UP A 7% GRADE IN 100+ DEGREE TEMPERATURES. THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED AND IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER THEN BEGAN 'LUNGING'. DISPLAY SHOWED "PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK PRIOR TO SELECTING A GEAR". AFTER WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES RESTARTED VEHICLE BUT AS SOON AS IT NEEDED TO SHIFT IT WOULD DO THE SAME STALL OUT. THIS EXACT BEHAVIOR ALSO OCCURRED ON THE SAME SECTION (WITHIN 2 MI) OF HIGHWAY AT THE FOLLOWING ODOMETER READINGS: 4811, 5202, 28928, 29580 AND 29623. COMMON RPM'S ARE AROUND 3500 BUT VARIES SOMEWHAT EACH TIME AND USUALLY BETWEEN 50-65 MPH. THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN IN FULL AUTOMATIC MODE AND IS UNRESPONSIVE IF ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH TO MANUAL MODE ONCE IT STARTS. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ONLY USED THE FIRST TIME. I QUIT USING IT AFTER THAT IN CASE THERE WAS ANY RELATION TO THE SHIFT SELECTIONS. THE GAP IN THE MILEAGES INDICATE THE ALMOST ALMOST 3 MONTHS THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE AND THE TIME THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM- COLD MONTHS ONLY. MANY OF THE OCCURRENCES ARE WITH DAYS OF EACH OTHER AND OR AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCES EXTREMELY HARD LOW SPEED SHIFTS (FROM A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN). THE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY I DRIVE DAILY IS VERY BUSY AND A MAIN CORRIDOR FROM THE NEIGHBORING CITY TO MY RURAL TOWN. IT IS DANGEROUS TO SUDDENLY DROP "BACK" ON SPEED SO DRAMATICALLY.

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.

MY WIFE PURCHASED NEW, 2015 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE FROM DON DAVIS CHRYSLER, ARLINGTON, TX ON OR ABOUT 01/23/2016. FRONT WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO CRACK WITH NO IMPACT DAMAGE ABOUT MIDDLE OF MARCH, 2016. I TOOK JEEP TO DON DAVIS. THEY INSPECTED THE CRACK WHICH BEGAN IN THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD AT THE POINT OF THE WINDSHIELD MOUNTED DEFROSTER AND CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS A WARRANTY DEFECT. AT THAT TIME, THEY SENT PHOTOS OF THE BREAK TO JEEP AND ORDERED A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT COSTS, IF THEY HAD NOT BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY WOULD BE ABOUT $1,300. SEVERAL WEEKS PASSED WITHOUT ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM DON DAVIS. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT STILL HAD NOT ARRIVED, I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE BY TELEPHONE AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUES. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HAD NO RECORD OF THE PROBLEM, AND TOOK MY VERBAL INFORMATION. I NEXT MET WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER. AFTER SHOWING ME THAT HE HAD NOTIFIED JEEP AND REQUESTED THE REPLACEMENT, HE AGAIN TOOK ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AND HAD ME REMAIN WHILE HE CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS ORDERED. BY THIS TIME, THE CRACK EXTENDED TO ABOUT THREE INCHES FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE END OF THE WINDSHIELD, A CHANGE OF ABOUT 5" TO 6" ON EITHER SIDE FROM WHEN I FIRST MET WITH THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER HAD SENT A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD AS A REPLACEMENT. THE DEALERSHIP RETURNED IT AND AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, WE ARE STILL WITHOUT A NEW WINDSHIELD. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED THAT MY WIFE OR I MAY BE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE OUR SEVEN YEAR OLD GRANDSON, WHOM WE ARE RAISING, RIDING WITH US AND THE WINDSHIELD CRACKS AS RESULT OF DEBRIS OR SIMPLY BECAUSE IT WILL NO LONGER RETAIN SUPPORT WITH SUCH A LONG, 42" HORIZONTAL CRACK. OTHER OWNERS HAVE MADE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET.

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO AN EARLIER COMPLAINT (#10826148) ABOUT MY 6-SPEED MANUAL 4X4 2015 RENEGADE LATITUDE (WITH ~6490 MILES ON IT) WHICH WAS REVVING UNCONTROLLABLY, POPPING OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL, DIFFICULT TO GET INTO AND OUT OF GEAR AS WELL AS EXHIBITING POOR FUEL ECONOMY. AT FIRST, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE ANY OF THE PROBLEMS, BUT I INSISTED THAT THEY KEEP THE CAR AND DRIVE IT FURTHER. THEY DID AND WERE ABLE TO SEE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THAT WAS NEARLY ONE MONTH AGO. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS FOR WHAT WAS DESCRIBED AS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH, A PART FOR WHICH (THE THROW-OUT BEARING) WAS ON BACK ORDER. I PICKED UP THE CAR THIS PAST FRIDAY 3/11/16, DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE, HAPPY THAT IT WAS FIXED. OR SO I THOUGHT. SATURDAY MORNING, LESS THAN 24 HOURS SINCE BRINGING IT HOME, AS I WAS PREPARING TO GO OUT OF TOWN, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE, AND THERE IT SITS, STUCK IN MY GARAGE, TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THING IS, I HAD NOT TRIED OUT THE REVERSE ON IT WHEN I PICKED IT UP OR GOT IT HOME. I HAD A STRAIGHT RUN OUT OF THE GARAGE WHEN I PICKED IT UP, DROVE AROUND THE BUILDING AND THEN STRAIGHT TO MY HOME. I'M WONDERING IF THEY HAD NOT DONE SO TOO. NOW THAT IT IS NEARLY 30 DAYS OUT OF COMMISSION, I WILL PROBABLY TRY TO GET THE CAR DECLARED A LEMON AND ASK THE DEALERSHIP TO BUY IT BACK. I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT, EVEN IF THEY WERE TO FIX THE CLUTCH AGAIN. NHTSA, PLEASE LOOK INTO OUR CARS-I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS AND IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH IT!

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING HAS BEEN ACTIVATING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND WHILE ENTERING/EXITING HIGHWAY RAMPS, SPECIFICALLY WHERE OVERPASSES ARE PRESENT. ALSO, THE FCW LIGHT WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY AT START UP OF THE VEHICLE FORCING ME TO GO TO SETTINGS AND TURNING BACK ON. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THE FCW WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE FCW WOULD NOT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP DURING DEALER PERFORMED OBSTACLE TEST. SO FAR ALL ATTEMPS TO REPAIR BY THE DEALER HAVE FAILED.

JEEP RENEGADE PURCHASED NEW 2015, STRONG ALCOHOL ODOR AFTER USING WINDSHIELD WASHERS. TOOK TO DEALER THEY ALSO SMELLED ALCOHOL AFTER USING WASHERS. THEY STATE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM THAT RENEGADES HAVE AND DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT. IT CAN BE VERY STRONG AND IWINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID CAN BE HARMFUL TO RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

ON SEPTEMBER 24TH I WAS DRIVING AND THE FLOOR MAT GOT PUSHED FORWARD AND WRAPPED AROUND THE EXPOSED STEERING COLUMN. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET TO GET OUT AND MANUALLY PULL THE FLOOR MAT OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR EVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEN, JANUARY 15TH I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE IMPERIAL DUNES AREA ON THE WAY TO CALIFORNIA AND THE HARD PLASTIC STRIP THAT COVERS THE ROOF RACK HARDWARE (I DO NOT HAVE A ROOF RACK SO JEEP PUT A STRIP IN THERE TO COVER THE HARDWARE) BROKE IN HALF AND FLEW OFF MY VEHICLE WHILE GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR INTO THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME.

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!

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THEN SHIFTED IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SYSTEMS WENT DEAD. I SHIFTED BACK TO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IT DID NOT START AND TURNING THE KEY RESULTED IN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIGHTING UP. THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND DID NOT RELEASE. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS DID NOT WORK BUT AFTER THE KEY WAS TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS DID FLASH IF THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTONS ON THE KEY FOB WERE PUSHED. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN WITH THE KEY IN PLACE AND THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TO RESORT TO USING A POWER PACK ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS TO GET POWER TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SO HE COULD RESTORE THE STEERING AND RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE. AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED THE CAR THEY FOUND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONAL AND THE BATTERY FULLY CHARGED. THE SERVICE RECIEPT STATES THE DTCM HAD AN ACTIVE CODE C2502-64 AND THEY FLASHED DTCM WITH LATEST FLASH NUMBER AND CLEARED CODES.

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.
