2016 JEEP RENEGADE Engine Problems

My car just shut off out of now where while I was driving, tried to turn it on and wouldn’t start, get u I was in the middle of the road bc it just shut off. I left it off for about 10 minutes and finally it turned back on but yet the battery and everything was good on the car, this is definitely a road hazard ⚠️!

Vehicle was returning Diagnostic code P0653 and P2138 it was taken to the dealership for servicing on 04/26/2025. Pedal position sensor was identified as the issue. Part was on national backorder for several weeks. and issue was repaired on 05/22/25. Vehicle was driven less than 100 miles and presented with the same issue on 06/26/2025 and was returned to the dealership for servicing. Service department reset the code and drove the vehicle for less than 100 miles, and indicated they could not reproduce the problem. Car was left at the dealership for a week for additional diagnostic. Car was picked up on 07/12/2025 from the dealership and on 07/15/2025 car was returned for third time to repair the issue with the same codes. A case was opened with Stellantis. At this poin car is still being repaired for the same issue. When issue occurs car goes into limp mode, and runs at 50% throttle, and has on occasion completely lost power sometimes causing some safety concerns. Vehicle was able to drive in limp mode first two times, third time required towing to the dealership

Summary of Ongoing Issues with Shaver Automotive & Stellantis Regarding W80 Recall -Initial Reporting (December 2018): At 35,104 miles, I first reported engine stalling, performance issues, and excessive oil consumption to Shaver Automotive. -Recall Notification & Incomplete Testing (January 2024): I received a recall letter in January 2024 for the W80 oil consumption test. Shaver Automotive performed the first part of the test but instructed me to return for Part 2—which they subsequently delayed. -Delays & Failed Recall Test (July 2024–January 2025): From July to December 2024, Shaver ignored multiple requests to schedule the second test. In January 2025, part 2 of the test was finally conducted. W80 Recall test failed, prompting a promise of a new engine installation by mid-to-late March 2025. -Dealership Fraud & Negligence (March–June 2025): From March to June 2025, Shaver: -Ignored all follow-up requests for updates. -Falsified service records, including a fabricated appointment on 3/26/25 while I was out of town. -Falsified mileage on my Jeep at said fabricated appointment. -Closed my Stellantis case without notification, obstructing resolution. -Stellantis’ Failure to Intervene (2024–2025): Despite three active case numbers (#93024832, #93352240, #93372613), Stellantis repeatedly directed me back to Shaver Automotive, refusing to escalate or resolve the issue. -Legal & Ethical Violations: Shaver’s misconduct, mileage tampering, falsified documents, and deliberate delays, has left me with an unsafe vehicle for over 18 months, violating: -Consumer protection laws (e.g., Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act). -Recall compliance obligations under NHTSA guidelines. Stellantis’ negligence in overseeing its dealership network exacerbated the harm.

No oil change light, no engine light. Excessive Oil consumption engine Metal to metal brakes

The engine cooling fan failed. The vehicle was repaired by Firestone, and we have the old parts in case an inspection is needed. This failure put myself and others at risk because had I not been close to home when the engine light came on, the engine would have overheated. My daily commute is over 50 miles, and this could have caused an accident if it had happened on the highway. The problem was confirmed by a service center (Firestone). The entire fan assembly needed to be replaced since the bracket was also broken. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. The check engine light first came on while I was driving home from the store on 5/31/25. Then, the A/C stopped cooling. I stopped by Advance Auto Parts Store, and they checked the engine code (P0481) and advised me to purchase a fuse. When I arrived home and checked under the hood, I found that there was indeed a blown fuse. After replacing the fuse, I noticed that the fan was shaking and rattling. I then took the vehicle to the local Firestone center and they diagnosed the problem. I searched online to see if other Renegade owners had reported problems with the engine cooling fan and found that there was a recall (Recall Number: V54 - Engine Cooling Fan) for 2015 - 2017 Jeep Renegades for this same issue. However, it seems that my vehicle was not included in the recall. I am requesting that my vehicle be included in the recall so I can be reimbursed for the $1,053 that I spent on this repair.

The jerking, delayed take off reported originally that was supposedly corrected with a motor replacement STILL happens. Spoken with multiple other Renegade drivers and tow truck drivers, the transmission appears to be the issue. Each recorded visit to the dealership has reported transmission ok. My safety is my absolute #1 concern. Want transmission checked, rechecked, repaired, replaced or whatever makes my driving life safe as possible.

8/23 I was informed of a recall on my engine due to oil consumption. I took my vehicle to Jeep & completed an oil consumption test being told my car was affected & the engine would be replaced. I was told that there’s a long wait & could be 6mos or more. I started calling after 6mos & was told over & over again the engine hadn’t arrived then referred to the manufacturer for resolution. The manufacturer said nothing was ever reported to them. I went to Autonation to get to the bottom of things & they’re acting like none of this ever happened while asking me what I want them to do about it smirking as if this is funny.

On 3 occasions, in the past three weeks, the vehicle has lost power while in motion and display states “shift to park”. Restarting vehicle is required. This occurs while in motion and could be dangerous for driver and passenger. Car repair unable to diagnose issue. Reported numerous codes concerning “communication errors”

Complaint #11629826. i also have had safety issues with my 2016 Jeep Renegade. Engine shuts down while driving flashes check engine signs and has to be put in park to be restarted. Currently, engine stops while driving and " emergency brake goes on " I have to restart jeep and drive with emergency brake on because it won't go off even though I have not set the brake on. This is happening frequently and almost was hit on the highway due to Jeep engine stopping while I was driving. I have had it in for service several times and paid for software/connection replacements etc. Problem still exists and very dangerous. Jeep dealership unsure how to fix the problem. Numerous dates of occurrence within the last 2 months-

All motor mounts poorly manufactured too light. Need recalled as its a known problem.

While driving the car, the wheel locked and we lost acceleration, and a warning light for the electric engine throttle came on. The car is undriveable, and we are extremely lucky that we were not in an accident. We suspect that the W79 recall for other Jeeps is implicated for our car.

All motor engine mounts and transmission mounts notoriously gone bad....poorly manufactured. Should be recalled to be replaced on ALL these vehicles

On more than one occasion, this car has stalled or stopped, leaving me coasting to the side of the road in active traffic. I was going about 30-35 mph. It has had oil consumption problems since 2021 when I purchased it. It was presented to me at point of sale as gas consumption...it wasn't getting good mileage and would need a tune up. Also misrepresented as having a spare and it did not. On 4 Aug 2024 I completed the most recent oil consumption test and it failed. Leith Jeep refused to provide me with paperwork and said "no charge." But it needed another quart of oil which I added. Before the test was completed it needed a quart of oil. I have all records and will attach here if possible or email under separate emails. Not sure how many doc can be attached. I had recall repairs made. My car is part of the class action lawsuit but is unsafe. I am told to correct I need a new engine which will cost me out of pocket $11,000.00 due to no longer under warranty. But it has had this problem since I bought it and prior, an oil consumption test was done by the dealer in possession then.

Was driving with cruise co trip on going about 70 mph. On an interstate. All of a sudden I saw my dash all go out and was pushing down on my accelerator and had no power and car was slowing down. Next it came back on and the the steering wheel light with exclamation showed up. Today 2 days later driving and it states service 4wd and the. When at a stop light it again did the same thing and this time shut down. This is a high priority in my mind I can’t allow younger drivers to drive. I see other complaints like this too.My spouse also observed the first time. Could of cause fatalities and or severe harm.

Check engine light on. ECM (engine control computer) malfunction. Dealer first denied any problems with vehicle even with check engine light on. So I took to it to independent service center, which confirm problem. By providing the service center report, the dealer then confirm problem. Problems/symptoms occur 2 days after financing vehicle.

Was sitting in a drive through and car started smoking. It stopped after I shut everything down. Then another time it overheated after driving for seven minutes had to stop. Air conditioning doesn’t work . Engine light on. Just bought from dealer with 20000 miles like a lemon. So not right.

This vehicle is constantly burning through oil between oil changes. It has stopped several times while driving only to find out it has no oil. It has been on the W80 recall list for 2 years and the dealerships in my area just say the parts are on allocation. I literally have to drive with oil in the car to refill it on the side of the road. I just got another recall notification from Jeep for U90 and they don't have parts to fix that either. I can't get it fixed. I can't sell it and I can't afford to keep it on the road. The low oil warning light does NOT come on.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated he was able to restart the vehicle and drive to his residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

Mileage: 91,000

My customer satisfaction number is W20. I have been waiting since December 2022 to get the catalytic converter replaced. I was told there were 2 people ahead of me. Everytime I called I was told they were still trying to reach the people. They did update the software but now my Jeep is sluggish. I have to force the gas pedal to force the accelerator to the floor to pick up speed. So my gas mileage is very bad. I hope the engine does not go waiting so long to get a defective part replaced. I am in Arkansas now and will be until my Mom gets out of the hospital. I want to get my Jeep fixed now. I am close to Batesville and Jonesboro Arkansas. Please tell me where I can take my Jeep to get it repaired or do I take the recall card to any Jeep dealer. I feel I have waited long enough.

Basically I purchased the car dec 3,2023 from drive time . 3 weeks later it needed a new transmission.the warranty fixes the transmission I didn’t have my car for a month .The service dept said there’s a recall on my engine also so they started an oil consumption test after I picked my car up after the transmission installed. Drove the car for 1500 miles and bring it into them they said I need a new engine. I asked them so when can I set appointment for my engine they said they will get back to me . It’s been 2 months and I haven’t heard from them . I want a brand new vehicle. The dealership sold me an lemon

My 2016 Jeep Renegade Sport 4WD 2.4L (~87K mileage) never has given me any major issues or shown symptoms of any need for service attention recently. It has been upkept with regular oil changes and servicing as needed. I recently went on vacation and had the vehicle parked for a week and upon returning and trying to turn the vehicle on it would not start. It was not the battery as that was recently changed and the vehicle tried very hard to crank, but nothing was successful on its own we even tried charging the battery and jumping it with our other car. I had AAA finally come and they were able to start it, but as soon as you put it in "drive" to move it the engine would flood and the car would shut off. As the car would run, white smoke would flow out of the tailpipe horribly as well. I had it towed to the AAA car center since they are around the corner and they are stating the head gasket is blown and the engine will need replacement. There was no indication from the vehicle that it needed a oil change or that oil was low. There was no symptoms I encountered prior to all of this happening. It was advised NOT to have the engine machined to fix the gasket due to the mileage and age of the vehicle. I am in shock that this came out of nowhere. Again, I drove the car a few days before leaving it parked in a safe location and it's mainly driven by me and there was absolutely no indication something was even remotely wrong.

Same as many other people, Traction Control. When making slow left hand turns Traction Control warning light comes on and complete power loss with engine still running. I have discovered if I lift my foot off gas pedal and quickly return it I regain power. This is dangerous as many other folks have reported. The fear of a side impact is always on my mind. Not confirmed by dealer as it does happen on every turn. Finally yes available for inspection any time.

Stopped at a red light stepped on gas to go on the green and car had shut off. Two or three tries later the car restarted. Scary with traffic coming from behind . This is the third time this has happened.

I started up my Renegade as usual and when I got to the stop sign at the end of my street, I had a message on the screen telling me to press the break and push the start button. I never turned my car off. No check engine lights before or after this incident.

The vehicle just stalls out with no warning. Just shuts off. After a few attempts the car restarted however stalled out again.

This has occurred ever since I’ve bought my car, and not every time. When car is at a slight incline and at a stop, it will not accelerate. Gas cap broke off for no reason. Dealership rep said that’s happened to someone else too. Chip for airbag sensors are not available.

Oil consumption, electrical problems like lights flickering, fuel odor, brake light olways on

In April of 2020 and at 41,800 miles, my vehicle was experiencing very significant vibration and noise from my engine and had become unbearable. I learned, from taking the vehicle to the Dealer, that the Passenger Side Engine Mount was defective - leading to instability under the hood. The Dealer, 'off record' indicated there was a known defect and that they were replacing a fair amount of the mounts for those customers who recognized that there may be a problem. The Dealer wanted $600+ to replace the Engine Mount! I believed an item like that (part of the drivetrain system) should be replaced for free by the manufacturer. However, I purchased the Engine Mount (Part #6841 8168 AA -001) and Bolts and replaced the Mount myself. In addition, I contacted FCA and they reimbursed me for the $241.68 expense. Most unfortunately, again, at 55,231miles the replacement (FCA Part) Engine Mount FAILED - creating incredible vibration and noise!! Again, I purchased another replacement FCA Engine Mount, Bolts and installed the replacement Engine Mount myself. I have tried to reach-out to FCA utilizing the e-mail address that they communicated with me back in 04/2020, although FCA is not responding. This issue, that of a potentially factory defective Primary Engine Mount design, can be a very significant issue as it supports and/or impacts the Drive Train System. The question must be asked, what could happen with the vehicle for those drivers who do not recognize an ever (but slowly) increasing noise and vibration until it is too late?? I would respectfully request NHTSA consider a recall mandate for this item for which FCA should be required to re-design the part and offer free replacements.

while driving, car comes to a complete stop and stalls when accelerating. dangerous during oncoming traffic whether it's the pedestrian or the cars surrounding me. car won't move instantly upon pressing on gas pedal-- it stalls for a bit before moving.

Jeep lost acceleration and died in the middle of the road. Fortunately I had just gotten off the freeway or we could have been seriously injured. No warning or check engine lights illuminated, it just completely lost the acceleration and died in the road.

The radiator fan will stop working or work intermittently. If it's not running when the temp gets up you have to manually Spin The Fan then it will engage. It is prone to overheating while idling or moving slow. I have replaced the fan on a active recall for this model three times already. The fans usually last from anywhere from 4 months to a 8 months.

there were no warnings on the vehicle to indicate a problem occurring. coming from a complete stop there is a delay in accelerating to speed - feels like a stall and the pedal is not receiving any gas... but the tank is full. dealership never found any issues nor were able to reproduce the same problem. this problem happens multiple times a year. this is dangerous for driving as i'm unable to get to full speed in traffic.

UNKNOWN I was recently sold a vehicle that I feel should be under the "safe car" issues. The engine cooling fan. If an engine cooling fan is not working right, this can cause the engine to overheat and the potential exists for a vehicle fire. How is that not a safety issue? Two Manufacturer recalls on the Jeep Renegade 2016: #V54 2015-2017 VM BU FB ENGINE COOLING FAN #W20 2013-2019 Mutli Vehicle 2.4 Reprogram PCM PH1 I bought a car not realizing the signficance of these recalls which were not explained to me at the time of purchase. Neither recall repairs were done by the previous owner. I feel the engine cooling fan is a serious safety issue yet it is not listed on your website. This means other unsuspecting buyers can purchase cars without salespeople being required to disclose detailed recall information. Nor whether or not this recall was taken care of by the previous owner. In my case, it was not.

Had this car since 2016,only 39,289miles,no problems whatsoever,and then I did this recall thing the 12th of July 2021,and today the 14th of July 2021 I have an engine light on,I have this horrible noise when I turn it on,I am so pissed and mad!!!really mad!!!Techs should not touch anything else than whats is called for to be fixed!!!i feel that when we take the cars they mess things out so we,the customers have to end up putting money since is free,they need customers to go back and spend on something that it didn’t needed it from the beginning!!!like I said 6yrs and not a problem,even have a multi point inspection sheet that it shows everything was great!!!i am scare to take back,because now I’m going to end up paying for their mistakes/fault/unprofessional work.I am so disappointed,upset,mad.I was planning to buy there again,but now I’m re thinking bout it!it won’t get fixed I know I will end up paying,but I want to make a complaint so that way at least it will pile with other people who end up having the same problems!why do Mechanics do that,or Techs do it!if is not broken,don’t fix it please.They should take an integrity test and not take advantage of the situation.

The 'Service Engine' light came on and the vehicle overheated 400 miles from home. The servicing Jeep dealer (Vision Jeep in Rochester, NY) stated the engine cooling fan failed, in the same manner as noted in Recall Campaign v54 for the cooling fan in 2015-2017 Jeep Renegades. My car is a 2016 Renegade, and the service manager was surprised my VIN was not included in the recall. He stated it failed in the same way as other recall repairs they did for the same model car, and was the same part that failed. I firmly believe it was a mistake that my VIN wasn't included, despite the model and year of my car being in the range of the cars for recall v54.

THIS CAR COMES ALMOST TO A DEAD STOP AND STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL STALL RIGHT AS I'M ENTERING TRAFFIC AND ATTEMPTING TO GET UP TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC DURING A TIME WHEN ALL OTHER CARS AROUND ME ARE ALSO ACCELERATING, IT'S HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT THE JEEP I'VE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT. THESE ENGINES SHOULD BE RECALLED.

HAVING TO PUT OIL IN A MONTH AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. RENEGADE IS DRIVEN 40 HIGHWAY MILES A DAY 5 TIMES A WEEK. ALSO THE COOLANT LIGHT SHOOTS UP TO HOT SUDDENLY THEN BACK DOWN WHILE IDLING IN PARK.

Mileage: 62,168

THE CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AUTONATION 3 MONTHS AGO. I NOTICED THE OIL LOW PRESSURE JUST STARTED TO COME WITH THE SHUTDOWN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE I FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS ONLINE.

Mileage: 2

WHEN YOU FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR AFTER ABOUT 1 MIN THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT THEN TAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART IT BEFORE YOU CAN GO.

Mileage: 60,000

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS TAKING TURNS. JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. AFTER IT SHUTS OFF THE LIGHTNING BOLT IN PARENTHESES (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM) COMES ON, THEN GOES AWAY. CAR SHOWS AS STILL RUNNING, BUT WON'T MOVE. SOMETIMES THE LOW OIL GAUGE COMES ON, BUT THE VEHICLE IS UP TO DATE WITH OIL CHANGES. VERY UNSAFE FOR VEHICLE TO JUST "STOP MOVING" OR "SHUT OFF" IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS, BUT NOW IT IS DAILY.

Mileage: 67,000

NOTICE A CHANGE OIL LIGHT STARTED POPPING UP ALTHOUGH I DID NOT NEED TO CHANGE OIL ACCORDING TO RECORDS I WAS NOT DUE TO CHANGE OIL UNTIL ANOTHER THREE MONTHS, I ONLY BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND 4900 SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN JULY 2020, THEIR LAST SERVICE WAS DONE AT THE DEALER ON JULY 6 2020 WHICH INCLUDED OIL CHANGE. ITS ON THE SERVICE HISTORY RECORD. I ALSO STARTED NOTICING A BURNING SMELL WHEN I GOT OUT MY VEHICLE SO I DECIDED TO CHECK MY OIL LEVEL AND TO MY SURPRISE I WAS 2 QUARTS LOW AT ONLY 58213 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I CALLED AND SCHEDULED TO GET IT LOOKED AT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, SO WHY NOT A COURTESY CALL TO THE CONSUMER? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE ISSUED A WARNING LIGHT THAT STAYS ON AND WON'T GO AWAY THEN I WOULD OF DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT IT WAS JUST A CHANGE OIL LIGHT AND WENT AWAY SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST REMINDING ME AND BEING THAT I WAS GETTING CLOSE TO 58,000 AND AGAIN ONLY BEEN DRIVING IT OVER 4,000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL SERVICE. MY FEAR IS THE DEALER MAY TRY AND HOLD ME LIABLE AND HAVE TO PAY FOR SERVICE FOR THE ISSUE BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE IN RIGHT AWAY WHEN I SAW THE OIL SERVICE LIGHT FIRST APPEAR.

Mileage: 58,213

MY JEEP IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 55,000 MILES. I LEASED IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE A/C IS HISSING AND NOT BLOWING COLD. I HAVE CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP ME SINCE IT IS OUT OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND IT SUPPOSEDLY HAS A LEAK IN THE CONDENSER AND ANOTHER HOSE.. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS NOT NORMAL TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE MILES ARE SO LOW AND IT HAS BEEN CARED FOR SO WELL. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING OR PARTS. THANK YOU.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AT AN ABNORMAL RATE. I HAVE TO TOP IT OFF SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IT ALSO RUNS EXTREMELY ROUGH WHEN IN DRIVE/REVERSE, BUT NOT MOVING(STOP SIGNS, DRIVE THROUGHS). IF I PUT IT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL, IT RUNS FINE. OCCASIONALLY, IT WILL STALL OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I'VE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND AN ISSUE. THEY UPDATED THE ECU AND TCU, BUT IT DIDN'T RESOLVE IT. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY NOW.

Mileage: 45,000

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER AND THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK" APPEARS THEN THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 25MPH.THE CAR MAY OR MAY NOT START AFTERWARDS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS STRANDED ME. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE OUTSIDE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Mileage: 100,000

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH UP A MINOR INCLINE, THE VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING/CHUGGING AND THEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED RESPONDING. VEHICLE STALLED AND COASTED TO STOP WHERE THE IDLE WAS ROUGH AND THEN DIED. INITIALLY, WOULD RESTART, BUT THEN STALL OUT. FOR THE NEXT 3 HOURS (WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW), THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS FLAKING OUT - INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING ANY ERROR IN ITS WHEELHOUSE. RESTARTED NEXT DAY AND IDLE VERY ROUGH/MISFIRING, ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING AND DECENT CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE GENERATED. INITIAL REPORT FROM SHOP IS THAT THE ENGINE OIL IS SLUDGE (CHANGED 5K MILES AGO), BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD (WAS ALREADY REPLACED AT 15K MILES) AND A SPARK PLUG END IS BENT AND IN HORRIFIC SHAPE. VEHICLE HAS 25K MILES AND HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 4.2 YEARS.

AFTER STARTING IT JUST SHUTS DOWN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF...THEN TAKES A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS TO RESTART

Mileage: 18,000

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AND ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IT APPEARED THE GAS PEDDLE WAS INACTIVE AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. IT NOTIFIED ME WITH A LIGHT "ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL" THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT BACK INTO GEAR. I WAS CONCERNED BUT WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE THIS WAS PART OF THE DESIGN. SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AND FOR NO REASON AT 25K MILES THE BATTERY SUDDENLY DIED. ALL LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE CAR. IT HAD NO POWER AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID "THE BATTERY JUST FAILED". IN AUG I WAS SHOCKED TO TURN ON THE CAR AND HAVE A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "CHANGE OIL" WELL BEFORE AN OIL CHANGE IS DUE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD SEEN THIS LIGHT BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS ON TIME WITH CAR MAINTENANCE. THE $84.77 SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN SPENT ON AN UNNECESSARY OIL CHANGE, IF THIS CONTINUES I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE CONSTANT OIL CHANGES. MOSTLY RECENTLY AND MOST CONCERNING ON TUESDAY THE 29TH OF SEP. I WAS LEAVING FOR A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR IT SAID EVERY LIGHT IN THE CAR WAS OUT. MY NEIGHBOR CAME OVER AND VERIFIED THAT I WAS MISSING SEVERAL LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE AND I WAS STRANDED. I WAS ABLE TO GET A RIDE, BUT WHEN I GOT HOME A FEW HOURS LATER, I TURNED ON THE CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS WORKED PERFECTLY FINE. WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS I SHARE THE ROAD WITH, AND THE RELIABILITY OF MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE

Mileage: 25,000

THE ENGINE IDLES TOO FAST. 11/1/17 AND 12/7/17 THE TCM AND PCM WERE REPROGRAMED. NO HELP. 2/13/18 DEALER SAID " THE IDLE SPEED CAN'T BE RESET" 1/15/19 AFTER LEMON LAW THE MANUFACTURER AGREED" WE WILL REPLACE YOUR CAR", " 4/16/20 " WE WILL NOT REPLACE YOUR CAR, BUT WE WILL HONOR YOUR WARRANTY" 5/30/20 "YOUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, CHOOSE ANOTHER PLAN" THE DEALER HAS WORKED ON MY CAR 13 TIMES OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD, I NEARLY CRASHED IN APRIL 2018, BECAUSE THE FAST IDLE OVERPOWERED MY BRAKES.

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR FOR A WHILE NOW. IT MAKES A SOUND, WHICH FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVE SAID SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN FAN, WHEN I AM STOPPED OR IDLING. IT IS A CLICKING AND WHIRRING SOUND THAT I CAN HEAR FROM OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN VIDEOS WHICH DESCRIBE AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015/2016 JEEP RENEGADE ENGINE COOLING FAN, WHICH SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I AM DEALING WITH. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE, BUT I AM AFRAID IT MIGHT DEVELOP INTO THE SMOKING AND OVERHEATING THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR HAVE EXPERIENCED.

WHILE DRIVING, THERE IS A CLUNK SOUND WHEN THE ENGINE TRIES TO SWITCH GEARS. ALSO, THE BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS, ETC HAVE A WARNING LIGHT THAT FLASHES SAYING THE LIGHTS ARE OUT EVEN WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE STILL WORKING.

IT FIRST APPEARED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AT 40MPH, AND NOW APPEARS AT ALL TIMES. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A 3.5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT'S FATHER OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY WHILE IN DRIVE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK AND HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. FURTHERMORE, SOME ELECTRICAL FAILURES WERE EXPERIENCED, INCLUDING ALL THE WINDOWS REMAINED IN THE DOWN POSITION AND WOULD NOT ROLL UP AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE IN OPERATION. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE POWER TRAIN FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000(POWER TRAIN), WHICH ONLY PERTAINED TO THE 2014 AND 2015 MODELS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS SERVICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR THE VARIOUS FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,243.

THE CAR STOPS AND TURNS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. CAR LIGHTS TURN ON BUT ENGINE WILL NOT TURN ON. HAD BATTERY REPLACED TWICE. THE CAR WON'T TURN OFF EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE BUTTON AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF . KEY FOB IS DETECTED WHEN NOT NEAR AND NOT DETECTED WHEN INSIDE CAR. HAVE GONE TO THE EXTENTS OF UNPLUGGING BATTERY TO RESET COMPUTER AFTER HOURS IT WILL THEN TURN ON AND WORK FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK. WITH LIGHT ISSUES IN BETWEEN. IT'S BECOME A HAZZARD SINCE THE CAR WILL JUST TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT TURN ON EVEN WITH A JUMP START FROM A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR WILL BECOME DEAD 100 PERCENT. ONLY LIGHTS TURN IN AT TIMES UNTIL BATTERY GETS DRAINED OUT. THEN NOTHING WORKS.

ON TWO OCCASSIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE OPERATING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND REMAINED IN THE DRIVE POSITION WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ON THE DISPLAY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND THE RPMS REVVED WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF. NO CODES OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS INDICATED. THE SHIFTER REMAINED IN THE DRIVE POSITION. THE CAR HAD TO BE GUIDED OFF THE ROADWAY AND PLACED INTO PARK TO BE RESTARTED. VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO RESTART BOTH TIMES. BOTH INCIDENTS OCCURRED AFTER ENTERING A HIGHWAY INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATING AND PRESENTED A DANGER TO ALL DRIVERS.

DASH DISPLAY STATES MULTIPLE LEFT SIDE LIGHTS ARE OUT WHEN NO LIGHTS ARE OUT AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY WINTER SINCE 2016. WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF THINGS SEEM TO BE FINE ON THE DASH. WHEN I TURN HEADLIGHTS OFF SHOWS BAD LIGHT IN 3 PLACES. LIGHTS ARE NOT OUT. DASH ALSO FLICKERS. I'M WEATHER UNDER 40 SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR COMES ON, AND ENGINE WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. FEELS LIKE HALF OF CYLINDERS ARE FIRING. CHRYSLER KNOWS IT'S A FAULTY THERMOSTAT. LEFT ME STRANDED 2 WINTERS STRAIGHT. THERMOSTAT OPERATES NORMALLY DURING SPRING/SUMMER. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THE TECHNICIANS AT DAVID STANLEY DODGE IN MIDWEST CITY, OK SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH BOTH ISSUES. REFUSED TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY. VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST NEARLY $1000 TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. I PUT TODAY'S DATE IN, BUT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. WITH THE THERMOSTAT PROBLEM AND THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DASH THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THESE ISSUES ARE RAMPANT AND ALL OVER THE FORUMS. MILES WHEN ISSUE OCCURRED ARE FROM 800 MILES - 70483. I WILL OUR CURRENT MILEAGE IN THE 'WHAT WAS THE MILEAGE' BLOCK ON NEXT PAGE.

UPDATE TO COMPLAINT # 11270456 REPORTED ON 10/23/19. I CALLED JEEP DIRECTLY TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME NOT TO PICK THE CAR. THEY CALLED DEALERSHIP DIRECTLY. THEY ARE AWARE OF AN "OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE" WITH 2016 RENEGADES WHICH IS RELATED TO THE CAR STALLING/GOING INTO NEUTRAL AND THE GEAR SHIFTING ISSUE. SINCE THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE ON 10/22/19, THEY WANT ME TO PUT 1,000 MILES ON THE CAR & BRING IT BACK FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. DEPENDING ON THE RESULTS OF THAT TEST, THEY MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING, WARNING LIGHT CAME UP "SHIFT VEHICLE TO PARK" AND CAR ESSENTIALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL. ONCE PULLED OVER, CAR COULDN'T BE RESTARTED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WHEN IT FINALLY DID SHIFT, THE "SHIFT VEHICLE TO PARK" WARNING CAME UP AGAIN. LUCKILY, THIS HAPPENED ON A LOCAL ROAD AND NOT A 70MPH HIGHWAY. HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES WHEN CAR WAS STARTED AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT TO D AND/OR R AND CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT.

Mileage: 32,000

EVER SINCE WE BOUGHT THE JEEP IT'S HAD PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS INCLUDED SHUTTERING, ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING, AND DOOR LOCKS FAILING. EVEN PROBLEMS WITH THE SUN ROOF. EACH TIME WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE JEEP WAS RETURNED WITH 'NO PROBLEM FOUND'. JUST RECENTLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK THE JEEP TO GET SERVICED. THE MECHANIC TOLD US ABOUT AN ISSUE OR RECALL THAT'S BEEN OCCURRING TO OUR MODEL JEEP.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE (2.4 LITER) WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME. BEFORE IT STALLED I WAS STOPPED IN WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A MICHIGAN LEFT. ONCE TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR I STARTED MY TURN AND AS I STARTED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT MY WHEEL, A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS TURNING RIGHT INTO A BUSINESS. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THEN STARTED TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR WHEN I NOTICED NO RESPONSE. I PUSHED A LITTLE MORE AND REALIZED THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED THE VEHICLE BACK TO PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THERE WAS A GAS STATION NEAR SO I HEADED THERE. AS I WAS TURNING RIGHT INTO THE GAS STATION (SLIGHT INCLINED DRIVEWAY) I NOTICED A QUICK FLASH ABOUT OIL. I PARKED AT A PUMP AND POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE OIL. TO MY SURPRISE I WAS GETTING VERY LITTLE TO NOTHING ON THE DIP STICK. I CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT WAS THE SAME READING. I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE ON JULY 18, 2019. I HADN'T EVEN HIT THE NEXT SERVICE DATE (5,000-6,000 MILES) AND THERE HAD BEEN NO LEAKS THEY I HAD SEEN UNDER MY VEHICLE OR ANY ABNORMAL EXHAUST SMOKE (OIL BURNING) IN ANY OF THE TIME DRIVING THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 48,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE THE END OF JUNE. THIS STRUCK ME AS ODD AS I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE CONSUME THIS MUCH OIL WITH OUT SOME TYPE OF NOTICEABLE LEAK OR BURNING OF THE OIL. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT PRIOR TO THIS EVENT ABOUT OIL DESPITE THERE BEING LITTLE TO NO READING OF OIL ON THE DIPSTICK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE ENGINE VIBRATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANTWERPEN CHRYSLER JEEP (6440 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, BALTIMORE, MD 21228, (410) 788-2973), BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR FEES. THE CONTACT LIFTED THE HOOD AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALONG WITH A SQUEAKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

Mileage: 49,000

FOR THE PAST WEEK MY ENGINE STALLS IN THE MORNING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, WHEN I'M ABOUT TO TURN AND THE DASH TELLS ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK. WHEN RE-STARTING THE ENGINE STRUGGLES AND THEN COMES ON. IT JUST HAPPENED WHEN LEAVING WORK TOO. STARTED DRIVING OUT THE PARKING LOT AND THE CAR STALLED. I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2017-2018 JEEPS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2016. LUCKILY I'VE BEEN ON STREETS AND OFF THE HIGHWAY AND GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT WHEN IT STALLS I CAN THROW ON MY FOUR WAY FLASHERS. BUT I'M SCARED IT WILL STALL WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR GOING FAST.

Mileage: 37,867

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR LOST POWER, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME OFF, LOST POWER STEERING, CAR SHUT DOWN. WOULDN'T START. CHECKED OIL, CALLED TOW TRUCK. I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR BACK TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD WHILE MY HUSBAND BACKED IT UP TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. TOW TRUCK GOT THERE, PUT CAN IN NEUTRAL, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF, CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF EMERGENCY BRAKE, PUSHED IT 20 OR SO TIMES, EMERGENCY BRAKE FINALLY TURNED OFF SO WE COULD BACK UP THE CAR SO THE TOW TRUCK COULD GET IT FRONT OF IT TO TOW. CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND IT IS DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE. THE CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY THIS SUMMER FOR WEEKS FOR ELECTRICAL LIGHTS GOING OFF AND THE CAR CONTINUING TO RUN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE JEEP RENEGADES NEED TO BE TOOK OFF THE ROAD.

MY CAR WAS MAKING A NOISE WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE LIKE FRICTION. NOTICED A SMELL COMING FROM AC VENTS. TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO CERTIFIED JEEP DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD ABOUT RECALL ON ENGINE COOLING FAN ON MY YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE BUT MY VIN WASNT LISTED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. 700$ FOR FAN REPLACEMENT WHEN MOPAR CLEARLY ACKNOWLEDGES ISSUE.

Mileage: 50,000

JEEP ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT AND ONE DAY DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR KILLED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME AS WELL. HAD IT SENT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. CAR IS ONLY AT 40,000 MILES AND IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. COST TO REPAIR IT IS $800. I LOOKED UP CASES AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP RENEGADE FUEL PUMPS AND OTHER YEARS 2017 AND UP HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT WHY HASN'T MINE? ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS THE 1ST ISSUE, THE BIGGEST STRESSOR IS THE FACT THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND CHRYSLER WON'T SHIP MY MECHANIC THE PART FOR 3 WEEKS. YES 3 WEEKS WITHOUT A VEHICLE, LOST WAGES, AND MISSED CLASSES BECAUSE I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING TO CLASS FOR NURSING SCHOOL. I HAD A RENTAL CAR THAT I WAS PAYING $27 DOLLARS A DAY BUT AFTER 1.5 WEEKS, I CAN'T AFFORD THAT PLUS THE $800+ REPAIR SO I RETURNED IT. MY MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED THE CANISTER OF THE EVAP SYSTEM IS ALSO BAD WHICH IS ANOTHER THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE GOING BAD THIS SOON. NOW MY TOTAL IS $1075. PLUS THE $300 OF THE RENTAL I HAD TO GET WHILE CHRYSLER WAS TAKING THEIR TIME GETTING THE PART I NEEDED. YESTERDAY I HAD TO CALL CORPORATE TO BEG THEM TO GET THIS PART MOVING FASTER. THE FACT THAT THE PART IS BACK ORDERED, MEANS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. IT'S TIME TO RECALL THIS PART BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE. I WAS LUCKY AND WAS ABLE TO CORRECT THE CAR WHEN IT WAS TRYING TO SUDDENLY JERK OFF THE ROAD WITH SPEEDS OF 70 MPH. BUT NOT EVERYONE MIGHT NOT BE LUCKY AND IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION WAITING TO HAPPEN.

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

THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. THE FIRST YEAR I HAD IT I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES BECAUSE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD RANDOMLY TURN ON. THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. LAST MONTH I STARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS RUNNING LIKE IT HAD 150, 000 MILES ON IT (IT ONLY HAS 42,000) AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD ON THE PHONE THE THE O2 SENSOR WAS BAD AND I NEEDED A TUNEUP... BUT WHEN I REFUSED TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP $700 FOR THE WORK THE STORY CHANGED WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR. THEY THEN TOLD ME THEY BROKE THE O2 SENSOR WHEN REPLACING A FAN THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. WHILE DRIVING O THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. ONCE I GOT HOME A TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON ONLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IM GOING TO DO WITH THIS $35,000 LEMON. I CAN ONLY GUESS THE CAR STILL HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES OR THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO DIE AT 42,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAVE KEPT UP WITH ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. BUT I DO KNOW I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN IN MY LIFE

MY HUSBAND TURNED THE KEY TO OFF, PULLED IT OUT, AND THE CAR KEPT RUNNING. WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER ONLY TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE SEATBELT. WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. WE WERE DRIVING, ALL THE LIGHTS KEPT GOING OFF, INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WHICH TURNS OFF THE POWER STEERING SO WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION ONLY TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, PULLED THE KEY OUT AND THE CAR KEPT RUNNING. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND BROUGHT IT BACK IN TO BE SERVICED. THE CAR IS DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE!

I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON 5/2/19 AFTER THE COOLING FAN MADE A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE WHEN IT WAS IDLING WITH A/C ON. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE & SENT ME ON MY WAY. ON 6/22/19 WHILE RETURNING FROM MY LUNCH BREAK ( JEEP HAD BEEN IDLING WITH A/C ON IN A DRIVE THROUGH & FAN BEGAN MAKING A RATTLING NOISE - FAN TURNING ON/OFF IN CYCLES) SMOKE STARTED POURING FROM UNDER HOOD, ACCOMPANIED BY A STRONG SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF IMMEDIATELY & WHEN I RESTARTED IT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE JEEP TOWED FROM MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ( I'M A NURSE, AND MISSED A DAY OF WORK DUE TO THIS! ). PICKING MY JEEP UP FROM DEALERSHIP TODAY TO THE TUNE OF $484.52 TO REPLACE COOLING FAN. I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, AND THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED ON 2/11/19 DUE TO NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. I'M THANKFUL THAT THIS HAPPENED AT 7PM RATHER THAN AT MIDNIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY...... AT THE END OF THE DAY MY VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE COOLING FAN IS SOMETHING JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS & I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS CAR STALLS IF THE OIL LEVEL IS LOW. THIS MEANS THEY RECOGNIZE AN ISSUE AND HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. HOW WOULD I KNOW THIS, AND HOW LOW DOES THE OIL HAVE TO BE TO STALL? THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND IF IT IS 'NORMAL' WHY HAVE THEY NOT TOLD ALL RENEGADE OWNERS? I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR BECAUSE IF IT STALLS ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH I WILL MOST CERTAINLY HAVE A CRASH.

WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE COOLING FAN COULD BE HEARD MAKING A WEIRD NOISE, FOLLOWED BY A STRONG ODOR. THIS HAPPENED ONE TIME EARLIER WHILE IDLING AND THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON. THE STRONG ODOR MADE ME TAKE IT TO A SHOP NEAR ME FOR FEAR OF DRIVING IT. LUCKILY IT WAS COLDER THAN USUAL OR IT WOULD HAVE OVERHEATED. UPON LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE AND HAVING MY COOLING FAN REPLACED, I FOUND IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2016 MODELS, AND HAS BEEN FIXED FOR (OR PART OF) THE 2017 MODELS. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED NO OFFICIAL RECALLS WERE SENT, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. LUCKILY, I GOT THIS REPLACED BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED, BUT I'VE SPOKEN WITH NUMEROUS OTHER RENEGADE OWNERS WHO HAD THE VEHICLES BREAK DOWN AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO SHOPS FOR REPAIRS. I DID HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT BECAUSE I TOOK IT TO SHOP NEAR ME (FOR FEAR OF DRIVING IT) INSTEAD OF THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ONLY COVERED PART OF THE REPAIR WHICH WAS ABOUT $200 OUT OF MY $550 BILL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ARE BEING LEFT OUT ON THE ROAD WHEN IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE DEALER WHO PROVIDED THE PART EVEN HAD MULTIPLE FANS IN STOCK, INDICATING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

THE ENGINE ON MY 2016 RENEGADE WITH ONLY 32000 MILES ON IT BEGAN MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND WHILE IDLING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I DETERMINED IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE RADIATOR FAN THAT HAD EITHER COME LOOSE OR WAS BENT. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL DUE TO THE MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS. OF COURSE IT HAPPENS RIGHT PAST THE ORIGINAL WARRANT EXPIRATION SO THAT IT IS NOT COVERED. THE COST TO FIX THIS WAS $620 AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY WHOLE FAN ASSEMBLY.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR NOT EVEN THREE YEARS AND I AM ALREADY HAVING TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT. THERE IS LESS THEN 48,000 MILES ON IT, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAR AT ALL TO ANYONE. THEY NEED TO START FIXING THESE ISSUES BECAUSE I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM.

I LOVE MY RENEGADE BUT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS , FIRST AFTER ONLY HAVING IT FOR A FEW MONTHS BUYING IT DEC 2016 NEW THE FUEL PUMP BROKE AND I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN IT SAID I HAD A QUARTER TANK. THEN THE DRIVER SEAT BECAME STUCK FORWARD, I THOUGHT I FIXED IT IT WAS FINE NOW IT'S STUCK BACK. I HAVE TO USE A PILLOW BEHIND ME. THEN AT 40,000 MILES JUST ABOUT THE COOLANT FAN STARTED RATTLING AS IF SOMETHING WAS LOOSE, THEN IT STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC I HAD TO BLAST THE HEAT BECAUSE THE TEMP GAUGE WOULD GO RED. I CHECKED THE FUSE IT WAS BLOWN SO IT WAS CHANGED AND STILL NO FAN. SO I FIGURED IT'S THE COOLANT FAN RELAY AND THEY AREN'T EASY TO LOCATE. AUTO PARTS STORE AND JEEP PARTS AT THE DEALERSHIP ARE HARD TO TALK TO BECAUSE IT IS A FIAT PART. YOU WOULD THINK THE 2JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT SELL THEM WOULD KNOW THAT. NOW I SEE THAT A TON OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NEEDED THE FULL FAN ASSEMBLE REPLACED AND A NEW THERMOSTAT..I DO NOT HAVE MONEY FOR THIS. WHY NO RECALL

FINALLY GOT RESTARTED AND QUIT AGAIN NOW EVERY LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON. POPPED THE HOOD AND ABSOLUTELY NO OIL IN ENGINE! WAS JUST AT DEALERSHIP THE WEEK BEFORE AND THEY DID THEIR MULTIPOINT INSPECTION AND MARKED OIL AS FULL? SO IN A WEEK IT LOST 5 QUARTS OF OIL? WAS TOWED AGAIN AND SAT AT DEALERSHIP FOR TWO WEEKS AS THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT ENGINE KNOCKING SOUND! THAN THEY CALL AND SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE!??. DROVE HOME SMELLING BURNT OIL AS ALWAYS SINCE NEW AND CHECKED DIPSTICK, THEY OVERFILLED IT BY AT LEAST A QUART! UNBELIEVABLE. ENGINE RUNS HORRIBLE AND IN 100 MILES HAS ALREADY DROPPED A QUART ON DIPSTICK. BLOWING OIL OUT EXHAUST PIPE. CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER OR FIX!!???. TOTAL MOST RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS THING EVER GONE THROUGH. SOMEBODY WILL GET KILLED WITH A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. UNBELIEVABLE! 2.4L ENGINE

COOLING FAN BEGAN MAKING RATTLING NOISE, BLEW FUSE, RESULTING IN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VEHICLE'S MILEAGE IS 47396. ENTIRE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST $878.86. JEEP DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY FAN. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WITHOUT ANY RECALLS TO CORRECT THIS FAULTY PART.

Mileage: 47,396

FAN IS MAKING TERRIBLE NOISES. WILL STOP WORKING AND IS OVER 650 TO REPLACE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS REPORTING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!

I TURNED ON MY JEEP RENEGADE WITH THE AUTOMATIC START BUTTON IN LIKE 30 WEATHER. I DROVE IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I ALSO HAD THE AIR BAG, BRAKE WARNING SIGN TURN ON. I STOPPED TO PUT GAS AND JUST THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE WITH CODE P0128- THERMOSTAT FAILURE. HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED IN CANADA SINCE I AM ON A TEMPORARY WORK PERMIT. SO IT COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG FOR SERVICE. CHECKED ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHILE WARMING UP. GRINDING NOISE STARTED. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND CHECKED THE HOOD. COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING SO I CARRIED ON. LATER IN TRAFFIC, GRINDING NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT STARTS. TEMPERATURE SHOOTS INTO RED, AND I START SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FOUND IT WAS THE COOLING FAN. DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE CAME TO FIND OUT THIS A PROBLEM WITH TONS OF OTHER PEOPLE. 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. I'M GLAD I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF BEFORE ANYTHING MAJOR HAPPEND. THESE FANS SHOULD BE LIVING A 100,000 MILE LIFE. BUT IT'S HAPPENING AT 30,000-70,000 MILES. JEEP WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY AS THEY SAY IT ISN'T PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. 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. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 52,000 MILES AND NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $350 IN REPAIRS ALONG WITH THE $150 PART.

I HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE MY 3 YEAR OLD CAR WAS OVERHEATING DUE TO A BAD OR POS ENGINE FAN? WHAT IF I WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND WITH KIDS IN THE CAR? THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY REPORTS OF IT YET.... .... CHECK THE FORUMS ONLINE!!

THE BEARING ON THE FAN IS GOING OUT. I HAVE 42,000 MILES AND OF COURSE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE READ MORE THAN 100 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? THIS IS THE 3RD CHRYSLER I'VE PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE OTHER 2. IF MORE THAN HALF OF THE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEN IT IS TIME FOR A RECALL ON THE PART. I DON'T HAVE $500-$600 TO FIX THIS. SO I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I STILL OWE ON THAT WILL SIT FOR MONTHS. THANK YOU CHRYSLER.

AROUND 40,000 MILES MY CAR STARTED CONSUMING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO CONSUME 1 QUART PER 750 MILES! THAT IS INSANE. THAT SAID, CHRYSLER GUIDELINE FOR CARS IS 1 QUART PER 2000 MILES FOR CARS BELOW 50,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR MY ENGINE. I CAN'T EVEN GO 2500 MILES ON AN OIL CHANGE WITHOUT MY CAR SEIZING UP, STALLING, HAVING ERRORS CODES (LOW OIL PRESSURE, OIL LIGHT COMES ON, ELECTRICAL ERROR), WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 35 MILES PER HOUR. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH NO WARNING! VERY DANGEROUS ON A FREEWAY! EVEN THE GUIDELINE FOR CARS OVER 50,000 MILES THE GUIDELINE BEING THE CAR CAN BURN 1 QUART EVERY 750 MILES IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE OWNED OLDER MODELS THAT NEVER DID THAT. IS THIS A NEW CAR THING? NEW CARS JUST BURN RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL? TO WHAT END?

WHILE DRIVING AT 36120 MILES I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL INSIDE MY PASSENGER CABIN. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I NOTICED THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT TO ITS HOTTEST READING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF I OPENED THE HOOD TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND NOTICED THAT ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE APPEARED TO BE EXTRAORDINARILY HOT, THE ELECTRIC FAN WAS NOT OPERATING. I THEN WENT INTO MY HOUSE AND DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT IT QUITE POSSIBLY WAS A DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC ENGINE FAN THAT WAS PRONE TO FAILING DUE TO NO PROPER HEAT SHIELD. THIS HAD BEEN NOTED BY MANY OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE. I MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE BROUGHT TO MY JEEP DEALER WHO THEN CONFIRM THAT THIS WAS INDEED THE CASE.

THE COOLANT FAN SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. SO WELL KNOWN THE PARTS HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE. HOW QUICKLY THE ENGINE SMOKES AND FAULTERS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD. THE VEHICLE QUICKLY STOPS WORKING DUE TO THIS ISSUE POTENTIALLY STRANDING PASSENGERS ON HIGHWAYS OR IN AREAS UNACCESSIBLE BY HELP BECAUSE IT IS AN OFFROAD VEHICLE.

WISH JEEP WOULD GIVE ME A REFUND AS VEHICLE ONLY GAS 11800 MILES AND POTENTIALLY GAS CATASPROPHIC DAMAGE. SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FAV SHOULD BUY VEHICLE BACK. TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS USELESS AS IT ONLY SHOWS THE LEVEL AT NORMAL AND FROM ONE DEGREE TO THE NEXT SHOT TO MAX. ONCE IT WENT DOWN A FEW DEGREES. DROPPED BACKED DOWN TO NORMAL RANGE EVEN THOUGH WAS STILL IN 260 DEGREE RANGE. FAULTY AND UNRELIABLE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON NOT 2 MINUTES EARLIER, FOLLOWED BY THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT. THERE WAS NO TIME FOR ME TO EVEN FIND A MECHANIC AS FROM BEGINNING TO END ALL OCCURRED IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. COOLANT CAME BUBBLING UP THE RESERVOIR AND CONVINCED ME I HAD A LEAK. SEE PHOTOS. AFTER THE TOW, I WAS STRANDED BECAUSE THE DEALER COULDN'T PROVIDE A LOANER SO I HAD TO FLY BACK TO HOUSTON, LEAVING MY RENEGADE AT ALL AMERICAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP OF MIDLAND. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACK-ORDER OF 7000 UNITS, AS OF SEPTEMBER 6TH. TURN AROUND TIME IS APPROX 6 WEEKS.

IF I HAD A M-F JOB, I WOULD'VE BEEN FIRED BY NOW. THEY ARE SO SLOW TO RESPOND! ALSO, THEY ARE ONLY ABLE TO REIMBURSE ME UP TO $35 A DAY FOR A RENTAL. THE OPTIONS ARE VERY LIMITED AND I NEED A 4X4 FOR WORK. NOT TO MENTION, I HAVE TO PAY USING MY OWN CARD AND SUBMIT A RECEIPT TO GET REIMBURSED, A PROCESS I'M TOLD COULD TAKE BETWEEN 30 TO 60 DAYS. DID I MENTION THAT MY CAR HAD ONLY 32,000 MILES ON AND IS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 36,000 OR MAY 2018?

INFORMATION OBTAINED IS THERE ARE MORE THEN 2500 BACK ORDERS FOR THIS PART. WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT 3 TO 4 WEEKS BEFORE WE COULD SEE THIS PART BEING DELIVERED TO MAKE REPAIRS. SEEMS TO ME THAT IF YOU HAVE THIS MANY BACK ORDERS THEN MAYBE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PART.

JEEP HAS A BACKORDER ON THEIR COOLING FANS. WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE OUR JEEP RENEGADE FOR 3 MONTHS BECAUSE THERE IS A BACKORDER OF 1400 COOLING FANS JUST IN MY AREA.

SO, I DECIDED TO OPEN THE HOOD AND TURN ON AGAIN THE ENGINE, WHEN I TOOK A LOOK I NOTICE THAT THE FAN WAS WOBBLING SO MUCH AND IT WAS HITTING SOME OTHER PARTS, IMMEDIATELY I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THAT PART SO I DID A RESEARCH ABOUT THE CAR AND FOUND THAT SOME OTHER PERSONS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. LATER, I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE CAR ONLY HAVE ONE YEAR AND IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER CHECKED MY CAR AND SAYS TO ME THAT THEY HAD A COUPLE OF THE SAME CARS A FEW WEEKS AGO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY SAYS THAT I NEED TO WAIT THREE WEEKS FOR THE REPLACEMENT, AND THAT IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS IF I DRIVE THE CAR IN THAT CONDITION BECAUSE I COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. SO, I CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE (800-992-1997), AND I TRIED TO HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION TO PROBLEM, BECAUSE I NEED TO GO TO MY WORK, AND SAYS THAT I COULD DO A RENTAL OUT OF POCKET AND SUBMIT THE CLAIM WITH A "POSSIBLEREIMBURSE.

2016 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK LOSS OF POWER ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, TURNING/MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FORM A SLOWED/STOPPED POSITION, VEHICLE STOPPING UP HILL. 13,200 MILES THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT ON, ENGINE POWERED DOWN TWICE WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP & TURNING LEFT W/ SLIGHT INCLINE, ONCE GOING STRAIGHT ACROSS A 2-LANE HWY, & ENGINE POWERING DOWN WHEN MERGING. DEALERSHIP SAID DUE TO AN UPDATE NEEDED. TWO WKS AFTER THE UPDATE, ENGINE POWERS DOWN MAKING A RIGHT TURN FORM A STOP SIGN. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T REPLICATE & TOLD TO DRIVE CAREFUL. A FEW WKS LATER, I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. I MADE A LEFT-HAND TURN W/ AN INCLINE. AS I STARTED ACCELERATING, THE RENEGADE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED & CEASED TO MOVE AS I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PETAL. THOSE FEW SECONDS OF PULLING OUT W/ ONCOMING TRAFFIC COULD QUICKLY LEAD TO A WRECK WHEN YOU LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I FELT A GREAT DEAL OF PANIC, DISTRUST OF MY RENEGADE. I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY. I TAKE THE RENEGADE BACK TO THE SHOP NO REAL RESOLVE. I WAS DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL AT WHICH TIME MY RENEGADE COMPLETELY STOPPED AS I WAS NEARING THE TOP OF THE HILL. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS WAS TERRIFYING TO SAY THE LEAST! WHEN THE RENEGADE STOPPED, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE ANYONE FOLLOWING BEHIND ME. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE ANGLE & STEEPNESS OF THE HILL, I WAS PANICKED THE RENEGADE WOULD ROLL DOWN. I NEVER PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK & CONTINUED TO PUMP THE GAS. AFTER ABOUT 5 PUMPS ON THE GAS, THE RENEGADE BEGAN TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE. I WAS GOING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF AROUND 30MPH, 1/4 OF TANK OF GAS, & DRIVING FOR ABOUT 10 MINS BEFORE INCIDENT. CHRYSLER ISN'T TAKING THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT W/ THEM ON A CORP. LEVEL AS WELL. THE RENEGADE HAS HAD 3 MORE INCIDENTS OF LOSING POWER WHEN ACCELERATING IN A TURN FROM A STOP. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE & AM STUCK W/ AN UNTRUSTWORTHY NEW VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE FINE THEN IT POWERS DOWN AND STALLS WHILE MOVING. THE RESTART PROCEDURE IS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, PRESS THE BRAKE THE PUSH THE ENGINE RUN BUTTON. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAPPENED IN INTERSECTIONS. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD ME THE ENGINE IS DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE CASTING PROCESS WHICH CAUSES IT TO LOSE OIL THAT LEAKS INTO THE ENGINE SOMEWHERE AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUTDOWN EVEN WHILE MOVING. THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENGINE BUT AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE I CAN'T BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER.

THIS VEHICLE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE ETC LIGHT COME ON, WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BECAME SLUGGISH AND SWITCHED TO MANUAL MODE FOR GEARS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE IF DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN ON YOU WITH NO WARNING. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AND THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING NEEDS REPLACING SO THEY ASK YOU TO WATCH YOUR THERMOSTAT TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T OVERHEAT SINCE THE PART IS ON BACKORDER FOR MONTHS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMING ON FOR COMPUTER UPDATES DEFINITELY NOT SAFE. *TR

VIBRATING/RUMBLING NOISE THROUGH GAS PEDAL AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN 29-34 MPH WHILE USING CRUISE/NOT USING CRUISE/LETTING OFF GAS PEDAL SLOWLY; DEALERSHIP CLAIMS ITS THE HIGH GEARING, ITS NORMAL, WE CANT REPLICATE, CHRYSLER REP STATES THE SAME THING, YET I TAKE THE SERVICE MGR FOR A RIDE AND THERES THE NOISE, TAKE SERVICE MGR FOR A RIDE IN ANOTHER RENEGADE AND THERES THE NOISE, SUPPOSEDLY THEY WILL WORK ON FIGURING OUT WHATS THE ISSUE ON THE OTHER RENEGADE AND THEN DEAL WITH MINE. DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATES BETWEEN +/-1 MPH UPON SETTING CRUISE ON LEVEL ELEVATION, SETTING CRUISE SPEEDOMETER IN CENTER DISPLAY WILL READ 69 MPH BUT UPPER RIGHT SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY REFLECTS 70 MPH AND ONLY TIME THEY EVER ARE THE SAME IS WHEN YOUR GOING DOWNHILL, CHRYSLER REP AT WI DEALERSHIP STATES THIS IS NORMAL AND I AM CALLING BULLSHIT, THEY WONT FIX IT BECAUSE ITS WITHIN THE NORMAL PARAMETERS BUT SCIENTIFICALLY IT DOESNT JIVE.

MY CAR "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS A MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD WITH THE WORDS "SAFETY ASSIST" AND "SECURITY". I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. AFTER 2 DAYS IN THE SHOP, THEY SAID IT WAS (AS POSTED ON THE PAPERWORK RELEASED TO ME) "CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE AND COLD START ROUGH START. FOUND CYLINDER 3 PLUG FOULED OUT POSS FROM MOVING VEHICLE ALL WINTER WITHOUT EVER DRIVING VEHICLE. REPLACED #3 SPARK PLUG, SWAPPED COIL #3 WITH COIL #2 TO SEE IF MISFIRE MOVES TO CYLINDER #2. THIS WAY IF CONDITION IS NOT RESOLVED, I WILL KNOW IF COIL IS BAD OR ENGINE HAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. RFH FLASHED AND ABS FLASHED" THEY RELEASED THE CAR TO ME AND SAID IT WAS FIXED AND SAFE. UPON DRIVING TO WORK AT 5 AM, IN THE DARK, I HAD NO EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND COULD ONLY USE MY HIGH BEAMS IF I HELD THEM ON. I HAD NO BACK LIGHTS. CARS APPROACHED VERY CLOSE TO MY CAR AND I HAD NO IDEA WHY. WHEN I GOT TO WORK, I HAD ANOTHER WORKER CHECK THE BACK OF MY CAR AND THERE WERE NO BACK LIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND LEFT A MESSAGE AND DROPPED THE CAR OFF AFTER WORK. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW, THEY HAVE NOW TOLD ME THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED....ON A 2016 CAR. RIDICULOUS. THANK YOU *TR
