2016 JEEP RENEGADE Unknown Or Other Problems

I purchased a used 2016 Jeep Renegade from a dealership located in Chicago, Illinois, on October 12, 2025. The seller assured me that the vehicle title was available and promised to mail it to me the day after the purchase, since I live in Nebraska and could not return in person to pick it up. It has now been more than three weeks, and the dealership has not delivered the title, now claiming that the auction has not yet provided it. The vehicle is currently in my possession, but I am unable to register or legally use it due to the missing title. The dealership only provided a “bill of sale” as proof of purchase. In addition, the seller offered a 30-day warranty for a transmission issue, which began showing problems again before the warranty expired. However, the dealership refuses to issue any refund, stating that it “does not make returns.” I believe this situation poses a risk to consumer safety, as the vehicle was sold without a valid title and with a significant mechanical issue that could affect its operation. I request that the dealership be investigated for possible violations of vehicle sales laws and consumer fraud.

My 2016 Jeep Renegade (36k miles) keeps dying suddenly, sometimes when parked and sometimes while driving. My battery and alternator work like they should. No warning signs occur before the car dies. It usually requires a jumpstart before it's able to run again. 1. It's not teh battery because if the battery was bad it would not die while driving as it's running on alternator. 2. It's not the alternator as I tested it by letting the car run and disconnecting the batter while it was running. It continued to run which indicates that the alternator works just fine. I looked up the symptom on the internet and found that many other Jeep Reneage owners complained online about the same issue. This is a MAJOR safety hazard as all power steering is lost when the car shuts off which could lead to accidents when it occurs while driving

Ongoing Recall Issue – 2016 Jeep Renegade (Recall U90) This Recall came out 06/16/2022 when I connect the dealership they keep say its backorder and that they have no ETA on. Sometimes I do receive texts about the part being available but when I call, they say no and that it could be scammed when it clearly gives me the dealership info and phone number.

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

Lost use of audio/stereo/radio/apps/rear camera/ USB port/front power outlet/ hands free phone.

Keyless entry working intermittently. Using 2 original key fobs, doors will lock, unlock, remote start and panic alarm will sound. Then they will not. Both keys respond the same. Either they are both working or they are both not working. Works most of the time, but then the system will stop working and the emergency key will be needed to access the vehicle.

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.

My car has been struggling to speed up and now recently struggling to start. It did show a ADS light when trying to start and also something about a vehicle dynamic system.

I'm getting multiple messages displayed saying lights are out when they are not, have had many instances where the language is changed to something else. And the cooling fan stops working intermittently causing over heating and most recent melted wiring harness plugs to and from fan.

MySky Parts commonly break on Jeep Renegades and poise a safety concern that they do not close. During accident or inclement conditions this can endanger passengers and driver.

My 2016 Jeep Renegade is my only vehicle for myself and family. There's an open recall (U90) for a part that must be installed by a certified dealership. However, the necessary part is unavailable and has been back ordered for over one year. There are no dealerships in the entire state which have this part avallable. I've been on a waitlist for this part about a year as well. My car registration is due next month in May, which requires this recall to be repaired prior to registration. I also need a smog test, but the recall involves emissions so my smog test is likely to fail. I have contacted Jeep customer service but the representative has stopped responding completely. I have reached out 3 additional times to this representative assigned to help me but have been ignored.

Vehicle has a recall (U90) . I am unable to renew my Vehicle Registration without proof of correction certificate. Dealer has refused to service my vehicle for the recall . I have been in contact since March 2023 for this recall. I am told there is a waiting list for the part. I am never contacted again for the service. I have asked to be added to the waiting list and they are stating they are unable to service my vehicle without first ordering the part . They are uncooperative and refusing to service a recall that is required for Vehicle Registration renewal.

The sunroof on my Jeep opened by itself. There are issues all over the internet with same said problem with the Jeep Renegade MySky sunroof system. Jeep wants people to spend $3,500 to fix. can count on both hounds how many times I’ve actually opened the sunroof to use it.

In October 3 different incidents while driving my car went into netural by itself took car back to dealership each time each time it was not resolved The last incident I also was hit by a semi on the freeway with my 11year old child in the car at 5am took car back to dealership they have had my car since Oct Now being told it's the shifter To me this should be a recall being told by dealership and other mechanics this is an on going issue with this make and model This is huge safety hazard Unfortunately this part is on back order so I am out of a vehicle that I am still paying for since Oct Worst experience and concerned for others and their safety

In normal weather conditions, not raining or snowing, when making a slow turn across traffic or onto the road from a driveway the vehicle turns on the 'Traction Control'. The vehicle becomes a immobile and is a hazard from being hit from behind or the side when turning across traffic.

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 traction control light will come on and the engine will lose power while the vehicle is making a turn at normal low-speed turns on dry pavement. This poses a serious safety hazard for drivers because unexpected loss of acceleration in a turn places the driver in danger of being hit from behind and/or at risk of being struck from the side when traction control comes on and the vehicle loses power while the driver is making a turn across traffic. We purchased this vehicle used on June 1, 2022 and have had multiple incidents of this happening, most recently this morning at 6:55 AM CST. I have not yet had it looked at by a dealer.

While at an intersection as I was turning left across the side of oncoming traffic my vehicle completely stalled in the middle of the road the gas pedal was stuck and would not accelerate and then a code on my dash appeared Service Throttle Body, after 45 seconds the code went away and the veh was finally able to accelerate so I could move out of the middle of the oncoming traffic side of the road. I then proceeded to go straight until I could find a parking lot to pull into. Right before I was able to pull into the parking lot the Jeep did the same thing again. Would not accelerate, I put on my flashers, the same dash code came back on Service Throttle Body and after 45 seconds the Jeep went back to acting fine. I was finally able to pull into a parking lot and turn off the jeep.

I have to keep disabling my traction control. I made a left turn onto a small back road and my traction control kicked on and the car accelerated causing me to almost wreck. Now I am having trouble getting the car to start. I practically have to stand on the brake to get it started. And all kinds of alerts pop up from time to time. Low tire pressure, emergency brake, bulbs out....etc.

After work I got in my renegade Trailhawk and turned it on as usual to go home. Upon starting up the vehicle, warning lights came on telling me the headlights, tail lights, blinkers, daytime lights, tag lights, parking lights and back up lights were not working or out. I got out and inspected them only to see they were in fact all still functioning as should be. I got someone from the dealership to look at the issue and was told it would be alright, but definitely get the service department to look at it in the morning. I am having it inspected today by the service department and hopefully the issue will be resolved. As an update on this particular issue, I took the Renegade to the Service department the next morning and after just a few minutes I was informed this would be remedied within less than 15 -20 minutes. Apparently there was a new update to the system that was installed by the awesomely knowledgeable crew at Marshall CDJR and I haven’t had any of the same issues since.

I have a problem with the radiator fan!it was fix last yr,was a recall also and now is giving me the engine light showing in the computer is something with the radiator fan!i took it to a place where they deal with Jeep brand and I don’t know why didn’t last longer if they fix it!!i need to know why do I have to pay when it was a recall?tomorrow I have the apt but I will end up paying for this problem when they should of just fix it the 1st time,right?since it was a recall,why do I have to pay?is only been a yr since they did this recall!radiator fan are suppose to last more than a yr,right?

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.

THE LATCH TO THE LIFT IS CONTINUOUSLY POPPING OPEN, SO IT'S KILLING MY BATTERY. IT IS ONLY HAPPENING WHEN IT'S PARKED BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED TO DRIVE WITH IT HAPPENING

CAR HAS 60000 MILES ON IT. I WENT TO TURN THE CAR ON AND ALL SERVICE LIGHTS POPPED UP (TRANSMISSION SERVICE, CHECK ENGINE AND OIL CHANGE). WENT TO PUT CAR AND DRIVE AND WOULD NOT GO OUT OF PARK. I USED THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE TO GET OUT OF GEAR AND ONCE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND ONLY ENGINE WOULD REV. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND MANY OTHER JEEP RENEGADES HAD A COMPUTER ISSUE WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE RESET. DEALERSHIP WONT FIX UNLESS UNDER WARRANTY.

I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH AND MY ENGINE CUT OFF, STEERING LOCKED UP, AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF BREAKS OR ANYTHING. I COULD NOT GET OVER OR EVEN PUT MY HAZARDS ON TO SIGNAL TO OTHER DRIVERS I COULD NOT STOP OR GET TO ANOTHER LANE. WHEN A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED HE TRIED A NEW BATTERY AND EVERYTHING AND COULD NOT EVEN GET THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO BE ABLE TO TOW IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO GET SPECIAL TRUCK THERE TO GET THE CAR TO SAFETY AND A SHOP. AFTER GETTING TO THE SHOP THEY SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY WATER PUMP THAT CAUSED EVERYTHING TO SHUT DOWN SUDDENLY.

Mileage: 42,000

AIR CONDITIONER WONT HOLD ANTI FREEZE. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE AC COMPRESSOR UNIT HAS SHRAPNEL IN IT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THEY WOULD NOT DO IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO AC UNITS SOMETIMES AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. (AC UNITS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 3 YEARS!)

SOMETIMES WHEN I START MY CAR THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON (MEANING TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF) THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. IT TURNS ON JUST FINE WHEN I PRESS THE BUTTON AND THE LIGHT GOES AWAY. UNTIL YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING I WAS ACCELERATING AT THE BOTTOM OF A SMALL HILL ABOUT TO REACH THE BOTTOM OF IT. (I WAS GOING 15-20MPH) THE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OF REALLY FAST (LIKE STROBE LIGHT FAST) AND MY CAR FELT LIKE THE BREAK WAS PRESSED AND LET GO WITH THE LIGHT. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO SPEED UP THE CAR WOULDN'T. (LIKE IF YOU WENT BREAK, GAS, BREAK, GAS ECT,) THIS HAPPENED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS TILL I LET GO OF THE GAS AND IT STOPPED. AND EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING I ALSO HEARD A GRINDING SOUND I'M NOT SURE WHEN IT CAME FROM. THIS WAS ON A STRAIGHT CITY STREET THE CAR WAS IN AUTOMATION MODE WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE MODE SET TO AUTOMATE. AFTER THIS I WENT TO A AUTHORIZED DEALER/MECHANIC. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID BUT HE SAID MY CAR WAS ON A RECALL AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HE IS LYING BECAUSE I HAVE CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES 2 RECALLS FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR HAVE BEEN MADE AND NONE EFFECT MY VEHICLE.(CHECK BY VIN NUMBER) I CAN'T TRUST THE MECHANIC TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 40,000

THE RADIATOR FAN MALFUNCTIONED THEN DIED. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 34,600 MILES AND WEEKS OUTSIDE OF THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTEE EXPIRATION DATE. THIS REPAIR COST ME $667.00. IN CHECKING WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE IN THE JEEP RENEGADE COMMUNITY, THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. HOWEVER, JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

FAN RATTLES VEHICLE OVERHEATS AC NOT WORKING NOTICE ALL THIS WHEN CAME TO A STOP AND WAS IDLING.

Mileage: 42,000

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.

MY AIR IN MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE STOPPED WORKING RIGHT AT THE 41,000/ 42,000 MILAGE MARK. I TRIED TO REPLACE THE FREON MYSELF, AS I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EASY FIX, NOT SO. YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE THE NEW FREON AND HAVE SPECIAL TOOLS TO ACCESS IT. I THEN BEGAN RESEARCHING. SEEMS THIS MODEL / MAKE IS KNOWN TO RUN OUT OF FREON RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY. YOU HEARD ME...AFTER THE WARRANTY! PLUS, THEY MAKE IT SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL JEEP CUSTOMER FOR YEARS, BUT THIS HAS ME FRUSTRATED AND PISSED QUITE FRANKLY. IT IS RIDICULOUS! FIX THE PROBLEM IF YOU KNOW IT IS HAPPENING....BUT IT IS A MONEY MAKER. I WILL BE SPREADING THE WORD ON EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA SITE I CAN GET MY HANDS ON. I AM ALSO BBB'ING THIS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. OH, AND THE LOCAL DEALERS CAN NOT STOCK THE FREON, DUE TO THE EXORBITANT PRICE. SCREWING THE CUSTOMERS AS USUAL!

AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY CHECKED MY CAR AND SAID THAT IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS IF I DRIVE THE CAR IN THAT CONDITION BECAUSE I COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE COOLING FAN MODULE AND FUSE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY MENTIONED IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR.

I'VE HAD TWO SEPARATE OCCURRENCES HAPPENED TO ME. THE FIRST ONE I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND MADE A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE MY ACCELERATOR, BRAKE PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, I HAD TO PUT THE CAR ON PARK AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, WAIT A MOMENT, TURN IT ON, IT TOOK A WHILE TO TURN ON BUT THEN EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND I CONTINUED MY JOURNEY. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS I WAS DRIVING AND SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, AS I STARTED TURNING MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AGAIN, EVERYTHING LOCKED, AND I ALMOST GOT IT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO PUT THE CAR ON PARK AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WAIT FOR IT TO TURN BACK ON. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND I COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AS WELL AS OTHER PEOPLE.

WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO CHARLESTON, SC WHEN WE HEARD A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION WHEN WE STOPPED WE NOTICED THE COOLING FAN WAS WOBBLING. WHEN WE GOT BACK TO OUR HOMETOWN A FEW DAYS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED IT WAS THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY AND WAS GOING TO COST CLOSE TO $500. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS HAD BEEN A RECENT PROBLEM THEY WERE NOTICING ON A FEW OTHER RENEGADES THEY REPAIRED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I HAVE RESEARCHED FORUMS AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR RENEGADES AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

I HAVE SEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2017 JEEP RENEGADE WHERE THE ENGINE IS STALLING. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2016 AND 2015 AS WELL. I HAVE A 2016 AND MINE HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT TODAY IT ALMOST GOT ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, KILLED. I WAS TURNING ONTO A ROADWAY AND IT STALLED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER LOCAL RENEGADE OWNERS THAT ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHY AREN'T THE OTHER, PREVIOUS YEARS INCLUDED IN ON THE RECALL SINCE WE ALL HAVE THIS ISSUE? I HAVE MADE MY FAMILY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING, THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO, LEGALLY. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED, BECAUSE THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY SAFE FIX OVER MY VW BEETLE CONVERTIBLE - I FELT SAFE IN THAT OVER THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE AND WILL MOST LIKELY NEED A REPAIR FOR A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT I WILL GET TO FOOT THE BILL. I HAVE JUST SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WITH A DEALERSHIP, JUST TO BE REIMBURSED WHEN THE RECALL IS ISSUED.

INITIALLY VEHICLE HAD A BURNING SMELL WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE AUXILIARY COOLANT PUMP. AFTER CHANGING THE COOLANT PUMP IN MARCH VEHICLE PRODUCED FALSE OVERHEAT CONDITIONS FOUR TIMES AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SHUT DOWN EACH TIME, WHILE DRIVING. TWO OF THE TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE OTHER TWO WHILE DRIVING THROUGH LOCAL STREETS. DEALER THEN CHANGED THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED SO THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE HAS BEEN CORRECTED. AS A SECONDARY ISSUE THE VEHICLE THEN HAD GRINDING NOISE IN FRONT END WHICH OCCURRED IN JUNE AND IS STILL OCCURRING. INITIALLY THEY CHANGED THE RIGHT FRONT UPPER MOUNT BEARING. THEY HAVE REPLACED THAT PART ONCE AGAIN AS WELL AS THE RIGHT FRONT HUB BEARING AND SPINDLE, CONTROL ARM, AND THE UPPER STRUT MOUNT BOOT, NONE OF WHICH HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THIS ONCE AGAIN CANNOT BE DUPLICATED ON A LIFT AND THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. AS OF THIS WRITING VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP OVER 30 DAYS AND THEY ARE STILL UNABLE TO REPAIR.

PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL GET REPAIRED AND DONT KNOW HOW MUCH ENGINE DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED. SEEMS TO BE A NATIONAL ISSUE AS THERE ARE OTHER RENEGADES THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS FOR THE SAME PARTS AND HAVE BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR MONTHS. 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. MOST LIKELY FCS WILL SAY ENGINE IS FINE THEN IT WILL BREAK DIE DUE TO WARPED OR CRACKED CYLINDER OR HEAD GASKET. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET IN SEMI STEADY TRAFFIC. GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I WAS STATIONARY ON A COTY STREET WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, WAITING AT THE LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED, I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE RENEGADE STALLED WITH NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS. UNDER 16,000 MILES AND NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR AROUND 500 MILES. I HAD TO PUT ON MY FLASHERS, PRESS THE STOP BUTTON AND THEN RESTARTED BY APPLYING MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE AND PUSHING THE START BUTTON. THE DEALER CHECKED THE WIRING HARNESS (PER MY REQUEST AS OTHERS HAVE POSTED HAVING THIS ISSUE AND STATED THE WIRING HARNESS WAS THE PROBLEM). THEY STATED THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND FOUND NOTHING OTHER THAN THE RENEGADE TO BE A QUART LOW ON OIL AND THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE STALL/ SHUT DOWN. THEY STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SOME JEEP CHEROKEES AS WELL. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL, TO HAVE A VEHICLE STALL WITH NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I FEEL IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE STALLS AND IS HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER BECAUSE OF THIS, CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH.

MY DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN LINE AT THE BANK. SHE SMELLED SMOKE AND THEN SAW IT COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE. NO LIGHTS ON HER DASH CAME ON. AFTER IT SAT FOR AWHILE, WE HAD HER TURN ON THE KEY AND ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS THEN CAME ON. THE CAR HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAD IT TOWED TO SOUTHPOINT JEEP IN TULSA (WHERE WE PURCHASED IT A YEAR AGO). THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE HAD 8 OTHERS WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THIS PROBLEM IS NATIONWIDE AND THAT HE COULDN'T TELL US WHEN PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE, BUT AT THIS TIME THERE WAS NOT A RECALL. HE ALSO SAID HE COULDN'T TELL IF THE OVERHEATING DAMAGED THE ENGINE. HIS NAME IS BLACKJACK. HE ENCOURAGED US TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE-WHICH WE HAVE. THEY ESTABLISHED A CASE FOR IT. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THIS DEFAULT, EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOTHING TO CAUSE IT, IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. HE DID OFFER US A DISCOUNT FOR A RENTAL CAR. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO DRIVE TO COLLEGE. WE THOUGHT JEEP WAS RELIABLE AND A REPUTABLE COMPANY TO DEAL WITH. SHE STARTS CLASSES THIS MONDAY AND WE HAVE NO VEHICLE FOR HER. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT RANDOMLY GOES ON IN VARYING ROAD AND DRIVING CONDITIONS THAT DO NOT WARRANT IT. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO SLIP AND THERE IS LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR (GAS, STEERING) FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS IN THIS MODE WHICH POSES HUGE DANGER TO THE DRIVER. IN LATEST INCIDENT LIGHT DIDN'T GO OUT AND HAD TO RESTART CAR IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. CAR IS AT DEALER FOR THIRD TIME. OPENED CLAIM WITH MANUFACTURER ON 8/15/17. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE BUT WE HAVE FOUND A NUMBER OF FORUMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, TURNING, GOING STRAIGHT, ETC. FIRST REPAIR WAS NOV 2106. SAID FOUND NOTHING BUT RELOADED SOFTWARE. FEB 17 A NUMBER OF DASH BOARD LIGHTS WE'RE GOING ON AGAIN AND LATEST INCIDENTS FOR WHICH WE WENT TO DEALER TODAY AFFECTS TRACTION CONTROL MORE FREQUENTLY THEN PREVIOUS INCIDENTS.

ELECTRICAL. SERVICE 4X4 REOCCURING. DEALER CAN'T FIGURE OUT. 4X4 NOT WORKING WHEN LIGHT IS ON. WHOLE DASH BOARD LIT UP TODAY AND PROMPTED 4X4 SERVICE THEN JUST WENT TO SERVICE 4X4( AS IN PICTURE BELOW)RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND OFF WITH SEEMINGLY NO RHYME OR REASON. WAS IN DEALER 8 DAYS LAST WEEK. GOT BACK COUPLE DAYS AGO, GOING INTO DEALER NEXT WEEK TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIGURE OUT, AGAIN. PROB LOSE JEEP FOR COUPLE MORE DAYS. JEEP SEES MORE OF DEALER THAN MY OWN GARAGE. THEY HAVE GIVEN RENTAL EACH TIME WHICH I APPLAUD SINCE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND LESS THAN 1 YR OLD BUT I HAVE A DOG AND OBLIGATIONS SO MAKES VERY INCONVENIENT.

ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AND MY JEEP STALLED OUT ON ME. IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES WITHIN A 2 WEEK PERIOD AND THEN AS I WAS TURNING THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHED ON FOR A SPLIT SECOND. I TOOK MY JEEP IN TO GET AN OIL CHANGE (BROUGHT IT IN UNDER REQUESTED MILEAGE) AND TOLD DEALERSHIP OF THE STALLING AND LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE JEEP AT ALL AND I TOLD THEM THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY DID THE LAST OIL CHANGE I BROUGHT IT IN UNDER THE REQUESTED MILEAGE FOR THIS OIL CHANGE. THEY TOLD ME TO COME AT 4000 MILES INSTEAD. AT APPROXIMATELY 4000 AFTER GETTING OIL CHANGE MY CAR AGAIN STALLED OUT AS I WAS DRIVING. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND AGAIN IT WAS "BONE DRY" THE JEEP IS BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY. HAVE TO DO OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON TO STATE THAT OIL IS LOW. HAVE TO CHECK OIL LEVEL WEEKLY TO MAKE SURE THERE'S OIL IN CAR. IF THE OIL GETS TOO LOW THE JEEP STALLS OUT UNEXPECTEDLU WHILE IN MOTION. DOES NOT START BACK UP FOR AT LEAST 3 MINUTES. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD AND 2 YEAR OLD AND THE IT STALLED OUT UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE IN MOTION. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ON A SIDE ROAD BUT IT HAS HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES. ONE TIME WAS GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMING OIL TO THE POINT THAT IT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED WEEKLY.

I HAVE MADS AN APPOINTMENT WITH SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. AFTER,RESEARCHING,I SEE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER RENEGADE OWNERS. THIS IS DANGEROUS BEYOND BELIEF!!!
