This Problem Across All Years
All Unknown Or Other Complaints (89)
While driving the moving vehicle on 3 occasions my vehicle has stalled out with me driving it, however there is a recall online for the same year, make and model of my vehicle for the same exact problems I am experiencing and I am being told that there are no recalls for my VIN. This is a problem since (let me repeat myself) online a recall for same year, make and model experiencing the exact problems with vehicle stalling and shutting off while driving. This is a serious issue and I keep getting the run around from Jeep corporation not insuring the safety of their vehicles and the people that own them.
The UConnect / touch screen display is constantly glitching- I can’t see anything other than striped lines and colors and/or a pitch black screen. I cannot use the rearview camera because of this, which creates a safety concern when backing up/reversing due to limited visibility without the rear view camera function. This problem has occurred with many other owners of the same vehicle (see posts online). The vehicle hasn’t been inspected but others had theirs inspected and claimed they were quoted $1,500+ for the screen repair, and even after repair, the screen malfunctioned again in a few weeks. The first sign of the issue was when I saw a thin, vertical green line through my touch screen, but it didn’t affect the visibility or usability of the screen so I thought nothing of it.
Unknown. Bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade, brand new and about 4-5 months ago, the screen started glitching. Sometimes, it only shows 1/3 of the screen, and there is a constant beeping as the screen switches between apps and stations. In other words, the screen is faulty, and it sometimes affects the reading of the digital speedometer. My car has only about 84k miles. I understand many others are experiencing similar issues with their 2018 Jeep Renegade.
Stereo Head Unit screen went black. It started "glitchy" with streaks but eventually went black. No use of the rear back up camera or any functions on the head unit... climate control, radio, setting, etc. I have seen online that this is common and I do not think it is right for a consumer to spend well over a 1000 to replace it. This is not a "wear" part. Disapointed in the quality of components in my Renegade.
Radio screen has completely gone out. The inability to use the backup camera causes safety concerns.
My Skylight has never worked properly since we bought my 2018 jeep renegade . It worked very slowly closing in the beginning so they lubricanted it and it worked for maybe a year before it started not fully opening before closing then fully opening and not closing .. Again I was told a lubrication issue But when I confronted that they just done the lubricant last year, they now say the only fix is to totally replace the entire skylight at ungodly cost to me not them.. That’s ridiculous.. I have read so many other owners that are having the same issue and the fact that they have found that there are parts to repair this problem but no one want to do so being the dealership just want to replace the entire skylight after they charge you ungodly cost to tell you they can’t fix it just replace it.. What will it take for Jeep to step up and do these repairs for its owners .. I love my jeep Renegade and hate to have a skylight I paid more to have not work .. I’ve owned my Renegade since June 2019 a gift from my husband. But knowing we paid for something we can’t use without added expenses that they can’t guarantee and want guarantee because they are replacing the entire skylight with another skylight that has the same problem .. I get it.. But we are just asking for Jeep to make repairs to the problem that they are well aware of for years now so we who own and love our Renegade can completely enjoy all the features we paid for..
1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The exact component or system that failed is unknown at this time. Symptoms suggest an issue possibly involving the engine cooling system, idle control, or electrical systems. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle has stalled suddenly in traffic, especially when coming to a stop, putting myself and others at risk of rear-end collisions or blocking lanes unexpectedly. The overheating raises the risk of engine fires or total vehicle shutdown while driving. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The problem has been reproduced once at an independent service center, but the exact cause has not been identified. Therefore, the problem has not been fully diagnosed or confirmed. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? No, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. - Jeep was taken to the dealership, but they couldn't find anything. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the stalling or overheating. Symptoms first appeared during warmer months when the vehicle was idling or stopped in traffic
My 2018 Jeep Renegade was manufactured in 2017..There is a recall on high oil consumption for this car.My car has burned oil since it was bought l every 3 months I bring it in to dealership and it is completely empty. It has stalled right in the middlle of traffic and shut off. As the car has gone up in miles the issue seems to be getting worse. I now run out every two months and there seems to be leading to other issues with the car. I have brought it in to the dealership and called Jeep to no avail. Obviously I have the same issues as the other Jeep renegades with the 2.4 engine and same years l. I do not I understand why a recall on my vin has not been put in l. I have spent alot of.money with all the extra oil and maintenance that's had to be been since the beginning. I feel this car will not last because of this issue through no fault but my own bit from a manufacturing error
Owned since new, the vehicle has 19000 miles on it and the factory head unit is mostly delaminated. Will randomly go into and change vehicle settings or otherwise self modify stations/input while driving. This can be very dangerous depending on what it does without human input. This is a very common problem, unsure why there is not a recall for this.
The touch screen has been an issue It does not come on. It his controls the heated steering wheel and cannot be shut off which then over eats and makes it impossible to touch. The screen controls the heated seats and the heat in general.
Original U Connect system screen delamination! This is a big problem for many users on jeep models 2018! Because of this the system makes random calls from my contacts well I’m driving! I am driving 30 miles a day on the highway and this is becoming a safety issue! Like me many people are waiting for a recall but nothing is coming since 2018!!! Very dangerous when I am driving with my GPS on and the radio calls people randomly and I have to hangs up on people every 5 seconds and then my contacts call me back and have to explain my situation! This is unacceptable! Please help us 🇺🇸
The screen for the radio presents several vertical lines of discoloration before the screen goes completely black. There is no way to return the screen's display until you turn your car off, let it rest for a while, and start again - even then the display quickly reverts to unusable condition. This affects safety as this is the only way to use the backup camera and is the sole control center for many of the vehicle's functions. This appears to be a widespread issue, and the dealer is charging astronomical amounts for the repair of this defect.
My touchscreen is acting up and cannot use it for backup or any thing. This needs to be addressed as i need my backup camera to work as I back up when I park and is a requirement for my job.
I've seen many many many complaints about the touchscreen going out of blank which is used for the backup camera, would could be a hazard when backing out of tight spots. Mine has gone out and lots of others have complained.
My screen is not visible. Which doesnt allow me to use camera to reverse or backup with visibly seeing what behind through screen, which causes to be a hazard. Replacing will cause me tons of money that i dont have. Which mechanic stated there has been many jeeps that has had same problem.
Radio display screen stopped working. Black screen. Back-up camera rendered unusable. Upon further research, this appears to be a common and expensive issue for Jeep Renegades that should be looked into by Jeep.
The screen in the car has completely blacked out on me. Once in a blue moon it might come on but within 5 minutes it has lines running down the screen and eventually goes black. This leaves me without navigation leaving me to have to resort looking at my phone which is a much smaller screen. But the biggest thing is this leaves me without my backup camera. I have looked throughly online with so many other renegade owners having the same issue with no other resolution from dealerships other then complete replacement of the unit. Again I've seen 100s of forums or reddit post about this exact issue with 100s more people chiming in saying they have this exact issue.
Screen began to slowly go black. It started with 1/4 of it black and is now at 3/4 black. Touch still works, but I am blindly touching without being able to see what I’m selecting. This affects the back up camera as well. Soon it will be completely blacked out and I will not have access to system options, back up camera, and other settings I can only access through the screen! This is a safety issue and secondly a major inconvenience. Dealership replacements are quoted to be $1,700+!!!
in less than 50,000 miles my screen/radio unit that controls many features of the vehicle including heat/ac, rear camera view and radio/navigation tools, has stopped working completely. I'm seeing so many people having the same exact issue. Jeep would not help me with this issue without me paying a huge service fee to even confirm that it is broken.
UNKNOWN Running lights and blinkers. Continually replace bulbs and either burn out black or just stop working. Possible wiring /electrical issues? Dashboard computer works at random. Ongoing for about a year. Last 3 months the dashboard lightning bolt light flashes along with the service engine light. it will lose power to move forward while in motion and at times loses steering power as well. Speed doesn't seem to matter. Can be going 65 mph or 25 mph and happens at random. Usually flashing bolt light disappears after vehicle is turned off and restarted but service engine light remains on for a few days but then disappears after that. Vehicle has been brought in to be repaired and diagnosed several times at different locations but since the warning lights on the dash disappear, the scan device doesn't detect an issue. Ongoing malfunction is potentially dangerous and very frightening despite how fast the vehicle is moving. Not sure how to move forward with resolution when nobody seems to find what is wrong with it? Money continually spent on trying to diagnose without resolution is frustrating and not knowing details puts others at risk as well. No active RECALLS and have not found or any prior RECALLS that would explain. Light issues are inconvenient but mentioned in the chance they are a component of the source of bigger issues that may include electrical , powertrain, etc.... *Dashboard warning lights along with loss of driving power has happened on multiple different occasions. in ADDITIONAL DETAILS BELOW I will record most current episode.
Screen went completely black. Does not work. Backup camera now useless. Cannot use any of the function on the screen because it is all black.
The radio head unit (display monitor) has failed. I can not use backup camera, safety and security alerts. This problem is common across all Jeep renegades. No recall has been provided. These units cost $2,000 to replace at the dealer.
Engine stalled (lost power) while driving on the interstate during rush hour traffic. I had to pull into emergency lane. This happened 3 times within an hour or so. We almost wrecked the car. Very scary and dangerous situation. I checked and there are no recalls with my VIN number. I’m not sure what to do now
back up screen
Following updates To the computer system the radio touch screen develops lines and then blanks out. Can no longer use the vehicle backup camera, control the heat system and other vital systems on the vehicle as the display is unusable. Desler in Colorado Springs says this happens often, Jeep is aware of it but offers no guidance other than replacing the radio at the owners expense..appears in all model year
May u connect. It don’t always connect to my phone. A now the screen it gets lines a then the screen starts to go blank then it will be gin to roll a display the compass seems to only do this while it’s hot. Outside. Then the screen is hot to touch
When it is raining, the vehicle shuts down and service warning lights come on. The Service Engine, Service Transmission, Service Hill Assist, Service Parking Break lights come on. The vehicle will start, but won't go into drive and no fuel flows into the engine to give enough power to move. After about 30 minutes, the vehicle might run, but it will shift very hard and the Transmission won't fully engage. After 45 minutes, all the warning lights go off, except for the check engine light, and the car is driveable. This ONLY happens in the rain or after a car wash.
The console on the dash that shows the radio and back up camera view very frequently has white lines running through it. You can not see the screen. As a safety issue, you also can not see the camera view when trying to back up. It is a safety issue. I'm seeing on vlogs that many people have this same complaint.
Oil leakage problems
The touch screen has started to delaminate. It is currently still in the vehicle and available to review. The touch screen will randomly start "pressing" buttons. First this is a distraction to the driver as the radio station is changed, calls are randomly placed and setting are changed. Second you have settings that affect the way the vehicle physically brakes and steers that are configured via the Uconnect system, and that system has a defect that can cause those settings to change without the knowledge of the user, that’s a safety issue. Multiple sites have stated that this issue is common on 2017 and newer Jeep products. I will be taking it to a dealership to see what the replacement cost will be but the estimates from phone calls is around $800 to $1600. No warning other than the screen began to bubble and the the random "button pushing" began.
I have a 2018 Jeep Renegade, When it rains water leaks from my roof/ceiling down to my dashboard soaking all the electrical equipment. My vehicle doesn’t have a sunroof and I can’t find where the leaking is coming from.
The Radio/ radio screen failed and continues to malfunction. While driving the radio was going bonkers and eventually called 911 by itself. The radio constantly changing stations and settings resulted in losing focus on the road and could have led to an accident. Dealer confirmed radio needs to be replaced. The component has not been inspected. There were no warning lights, or messages. Noticed bubbles on screen in 2020 or 2021. Didn’t know it would go bonkers and behave independent like it did when the problem occurred earlier this year
From the first few months we've had this car it will randomly stall out about 10 times over 5 years while driving on busy streets. We've taken it to a Chrysler dealership and were told it was fine, but that we should get more frequent oil changes. We don't drive this car much (5 years and only 24k miles).It is still doing this and I just checked articles on this model/year and there are both fuel pump UB2 and powertrain control recalls U87 that say they lead to stalling out. But they are not listed as being recalls on our vehicle. I called Chrysler tonight and they said these recalls aren't for our vehicle, only a random software update W20. The car has been taken to a Chrysler dealer a few times. It also had an issue where sometimes we couldn't pump gas (gas pumps wouldn't work) and read online there was a failure in some Jeep gas tanks that they were missing a hole. We looked and there was no visible hole. We took it to the Chrysler dealership and they told us that wasn't a real error and nothing was wrong but when it got it back there was a hole there and we have been able to pump gas since. So I'm not sure that we trust that dealership.
My car shut down and will not restart in High altitudes. This has been on ongoing issue since I purchased it in 2019. The car will sputter and feel like it has no power, then die. When I go to restart, it will not start. We have almost been hit by traffic several times because of this issue. Seems to only happen in high altitude. We live in the mountains, so we climb elevation quite a bit.
The Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen is changing channels, and other features, and in addition, changes the temperature in the car. This is a safety hazard as it is distracting, and is making the vehicle unusable, and uncomfortable to use. I have contacted Chrysler customer care several times and keep getting the run around in getting the Uconnect replaced, and have not gotten a resolution.
Vehicle is not throwing a code or check engine light but is sputtering and stalling or losing power while driving. This can be when I’m slowing down or accelerating. It’s done it on the interstate and while approaching a red light. I have taken it to the dealership and they said there is nothing wrong with my vehicle and they can not find the issue. I had them check the fuel pump since that was the closest issue I can find to my issue. They said the fuel pump has no issues. There has to be a reason why my car is shutting down while driving and not all the time. It will do it one day and not again for weeks or months and then do it back to back and then nothing again for a while. There has to be a reason why my Jeep is acting like this and not triggering a light or code and the dealer is unable to resolve it.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The back manual sunroof broke off on the highway going 60 mph. The sunroof flew onto the highway while the hinge that was attached to the sunroof flew off hitting me while driving. It is available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I was physically hit with the piece that broke off, and if there was a car driving behind me, the sunroof flying off could have caused an accident. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Vehicle will be going to Jeep dealership on 6/7/2023 Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The component will be inspected by Jeep on 6/7/2023 Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no symptoms prior to failure. Sunroof had not been opened in 3 years, we only used the front automatic sunroof which is also displaying signs of failure.
sunroof would not retract to closed position. I tried to reset the module to get the sunroof to close and pieces were heard breaking inside as the mechanism tried to close. I believe the glass is no longer on the track system. sunroof mechanism does not work anymore
It consumes oil fast. I just had an old change 1845 miles ago. My oil light came on check and it ts empty not a drop on the stick. Not the 1at time it's happened. No oil leak. Only 58000 miles
Uconnect radio system developed a delamination issue resulting in phantom touchscreen presses that began activating various vehicular systems including the climate control system, infotainment system, and most importantly, the SOS system that then proceeded to dial 911 multiple times without user input.
Vehicle suddenly powers down with no warning lights. This happened in traffic. Upon pulling over, turning off and restarting the vehicle, it was fine. It happened again a half hour later. Dealership could not identify the problem. Car was fine for more than a week, then happened again. It seems to be a common problem per internet search for this model.
Uconnect 8.4 infotainment system screen starts to delaminate and melt causing the screen to push buttons randomly and distract the driver.
I am not sure what component has failed but it cause the car to stall where ever it is located without time to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area. I have had the oil consumption test completed multiple times, I have had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership on multiple occasions. I try not to drive the car on the highway due to the possibility of the car stalling at speeds of 70 mph and would pose a risk to myself and others. The dealer did witness the problem the last time I had the car towed, as they had a difficult time getting the car off of the flatbed because it wouldn't start. The dealer has only changed the battery and alternator, they have not resolved this issue and I have had this issue since I purchased the car new in 2019. They have all of my service tickets to back up my claims but refuse to fix the problem. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealership that it was purchased from. All of the warning lights flash when the vehicle stalls. After researching on google, this is a common problem and there is a class action lawsuit that has been filed and is in progress. I am not sure what is causing this but I do have to get oil changes before it is time for my scheduled oil change which would lead me to think this is related the oil consumption or fuel pump issues that have been reported. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle. The vehicle is actually at the dealership now and they are telling me that it is ready for pick up after only fixing the battery and alternator.
Coolant in reservoir has been overheating since replacement of o-ring on pressure cap. I have take the car to the mechanic twice to find the solutions as to what could be causing this issue. The first time I was told it was not my radiator because I thought I had suffered damage to it from an accident a couple of years ago, and the second time they have flushed the system and told me there were no signs of leakage in the system. I have even speculated it could be the thermostat housing, so I got that replaced as well, but to no avail.
On several occasions the sun roof will not close. when you try to close the vent it will open it self all the way and will not close. There have been times it started to rain and could not close it because it would move forward then go back all the way open. I took it to the dealer and they said if something is in the track it will not close. That includes water if you wash the windshield.
I have had 4 incidents now where I made a right hand turn and the car stalled in the middle of the road. Turned the engine off, attempted to restart. The engine would try to fire, but would take several tries, then would start roughly. Then would run fine.
While going down the highway, the jeep shut down/locked up. The engine was still running, but wouldn't let me turn it off or run anything electrical. Every service light possible came on. In order to get it to turn off, we had to turn off the computer. After that, it had no power whatsoever. The key light was showing. Luckily, I was able to pull over before getting hit. I had both of my kids in the car. I've seen where other people have had this happen. Why has it not been recalled. We're still waiting to find out what the issue is but the mechanic shop is behind due to workers being out with Covid.
Left the store, stopped at a red light, car started acting like it was out of gas and stopped running, no “idiot” lights came on, no check engine nothing, put vehicle in park to restart (said on) and it would jerk like it was out of gas every time fir over 30 minutes I sat at a light and was unable to keep the vehicle started/running. Finally someone offered to push the car and it just started, too it to the dealer and because it was on a Saturday and the service department was closing in 5 minutes they refused to run a diagnostic test it sat there over the weekend and Monday they said that there was nothing wrong and to drive it for 1,500 miles and bring it back in, although car is still acting like it doesn’t want to shift or stay running, they said that because my VIN was not on the recall list they would only fix it if I paid out of pocket for it and the vehicle has less than 35,000 miles on it
VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS. ONCE AFTER A RIGHT TURN AND ONCE ON A HIGHWAY AFTER SLOWING TO GO AROUND SOMETHING. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I SEE RECALLS INVOLVING THE FUEL PUMP AND AN ELECTRIC MODULE, BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW THESE.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG MY CAR SHUT DOWN HAD MESSAGE ON DASH PUT VEH IN PARK AND SELECT GEAR AND A PICTURE OF OIL CAN ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND I WAS TURNING THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES

THE CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING IT. IF YOU STOP AT A LIGHT, IT DIES. THEN AGAIN AFTER YOU RESTART AND MOVE UP A FEW CAR LENGTHS. ONCE IT DIED WHILE ACTUALLY IN MOTION!! APPARENTLY, THE OIL PRESSURE GETS LOW B/C THE ENGINE(2.4) USES ALL OF THE OIL WITHIN OR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS TIME AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS 2.4 ENGINE, AS OF 12/10/20 I AM TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ONLY ON RENEGADES THAT HAVE ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND NOT FRONT WHEEL DRIVE SUCH AS MINE. NOT SURE WHAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO DO WITH A BADLY DESIGNED MOTOR(A REP AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS A POORLY DESIGNED ENGINE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO USE SOME OIL); HOWEVER, THIS ENGINE SUCKS THE OIL DRY IN UNDER 2 MONTHS TIME THUS MAKING THE MOTOR DIE/STALL WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE SEEN POSTS ON FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE KEEP TELLING OTHERS TO MAKE SURE TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR OIL. APPARENTLY, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR 2.4 ENGINE. THE OIL LIGHT ONLY FLICKERS WHILE GOING AROUND A CORNER & WHEN YOU CHECK THE OIL, IT IS ALMOST BONE DRY - IF COMPARING IT TO A 12 IN. RULER, IT MIGHT LAND ON THE 1ST LINE (OF 8 LINES) ON THE WAY TO AN INCH - JUST THE TIP OF THE DIPSTICK WILL HAVE A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF OIL ON IT. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF PURCHASE - CAR BOUGHT USED IN JUNE 2020. AT FIRST, WE THOUGHT THAT THEY SOLD US A CAR AND DIDN'T CHECK THE OIL, BUT NOW WE KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
II BOUGHT A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN NOV 2018. IN JAN 2019 THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 7 TIMES SINCE THEN FOR THEM TO FIX IT. THE 7TH TIME THEY HAD IT FOR 90 DAYS AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH JEEP ENGINEERS IN THE U.S. AND ITALY, WHERE IT IS MANUFACTURED, THEY HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FOR ALL THE PARTICULARS. WHAT IS NOT NOTED ARE THE OTHER FIXES THEY TRIED IN PRIOR VISITS, WHICH WAS TO REPLACE THE BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL, THE WIRING HARNESS, AND THE ACTUAL CRUISE CONTROL UNIT. SINCE THERE IS AN INTERNAL MEMORY FAULT WITH READING THE SPEED SENSOR, I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE BOTH REFUSING TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK.

IN DECEMBER 2019 AND ON DECEMBER 5, 2020 WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STOPPED. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, II WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE, THEN STOPPED AGAIN. I SAT FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS OCCURRED IN 12-2019 THE VEHICLE HAD 6484 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN IT HAPPENED IN 12-2020 THE VEHICLE HAD 9663 MILES. BOTH TIMES IT OCCURRED IT WAS IN CITY TRAFFIC. I DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM. AS PER CONSUMER REPORTS THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE MAKE AND MODEL FOR THE SAME YEAR. AFTER A SEARCH OF THE JEEP WEBSITE, THIS AGENCY'S WEBSITE AND THE DEALER'S RECORDS MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON ANY RECALL LIST.

I ORDERED SOME FOOD AND DROVE TO EXIT OF THE PARKING LOT AND THE CAR STALLED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR DIDN'T FLASH ANY LIGHTS. THE DASH REPEATED FOR ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THE ON BUTTON. THIS WASN'T WORKING. I FOLLOWED ITS INSTRUCTIONS OVER AND OVER BUT THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE GAS THE CAR ENGINE WOULD GET VERY BUMPY DESPITE NOT MOVING FORWARD. I FINALLY PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT WILLINGLY MOVED BACKWARDS WITHOUT HESITATION. HOWEVER, WHEN PUT IN DRIVE AGAIN, THE D ON THE GEAR SELECTOR WOULD FLASH AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AGAIN. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HAD SOMEONE PUSH ME OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED IT ON ONE MORE TIME, THE JEEP FINALLY STARTED DRIVING LIKE IT SHOULD. I ARRIVED HOME AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS NOT LOW.
Mileage: 30,500
MY CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT. MY CAR JUST STARTED SAYING 'LOW OIL PRESSURE' AND NOT EVEN A DAY LATER TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. IT DID IT ONCE MORE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND BRING IT BACK IN BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FCA FROM OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING BECAUSE FCA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES FOR YEARS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

HAS ANYONE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEIR JEEP JUST STALLING? AND HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSED IT? 2018 REGENADE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. 8 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT BRAND NEW. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH ATLANTA AND IT JUST SHUT OFF. IT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. I DROVE SOMEPLACE RIGHT OFF THE EXIT AND LET IT SIT FOR AN HOUR AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS FINE. STILL HAD ABOUT 300 MILES UNTIL THE RECOMMENDED CHANGE. I DROVE THE REMAINING 5 HOURS HOME WITHOUT ISSUE. TONIGHT I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT STARTED SPUTTERING. I TRIED MOVING FORWARD AND NOTHING. TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON. NOTHING. MY RADIO AND AC WERE BOTH STILL ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE ROAD (THANKFULLY FOR A SMALL DECLINE) AND PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON AGAIN. WHEN I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED UP. COULDN'T PUSH THE BREAK PEDDLE DOWN AND THE DRIVE LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON THE SHIFTER. I LET IT SIT ANOTHER 30 SECONDS AND IT TURNED BACK ON FINE. I HAVE OVER 2000 MILES BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE AND A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. ALSO NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED BUT MY HUSBAND'S KEY FOB WILL RANDOMLY NOT WORK. TODAY HE GOT IN MY CAR WITH HIS KEYS AND IT WOULDN'T START UNTIL HE PRESSED THE FOB TO THE START BUTTON THEN A LIGHT CAME ON SAYING LOW OIL PRESSURE AND IT QUICKLY WENT AWAY. THAT LIGHT DID NOT COME ON BEFORE OR AFTER THAT INCIDENT.

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3/6/2020 FROM THE I-10 DODGE DEALERSHIP IN INDIO, CA. THE CAR APPEARED TO BE WORKING PERFECTLY: NO FUNNY SMELLS OR NOISES, GOOD ACCELERATION AND BRAKES, NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH CONSOLE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. LAST SATURDAY (5/2/2020) I DROVE IT TO MY FRIEND'S MOBILE HOME. I PARKED IN THE CARPORT AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I WENT INTO THE HOME AND LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER. SMOKE WAS POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I LOOKED IN VAIN FOR A HOSE OR FIRE EXTINGUISHER, THEN CALLED 911. AT THIS POINT FLAMES WERE SHOOTING UP FROM THE ENGINE, SETTING THE CARPORT AND THE SIDE OF THE MOBILE HOME ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED IN THE EIGHT MINUTES FROM WHEN I CALLED 911 TO WHEN THE FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THE FIRE. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, SOME "D" LIGHT CAME ON, & THEN ALL THE LIGHTD CAME ON & THEN I RECIEVED A MESSAGE THAT I NEED TO SWITCH MY GEARS & MY TIRE LOCKED UP & MY CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN MY CAR BACK ON. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PUSH MY START BUTTON, AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT TO TURN BACK ON IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN ON AGAIN THEN I MADE IT HOME. I STARTED READING BLOGS & IT SAID TO CHECK YOUR OIL. I CHECKED IT AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I CHANGED MY OIL LAST MONTH AND BARELY HAVE DRIVEN IT. I HAVE A 2018 RENEGADE WITH 24K MILES ON IT. IF MY CAR DID THIS WHEN I JUMPED ON THE HIGHWAY WOULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. NO REASON WHY ALL MY OIL SHOULD BE GONE

THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICES REGULARLY, BUT IT BURNS SO MUCH OIL WE'RE HAVING ISSUES BEFORE IT'S DUE FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. MY SON WAS ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY FROM HOME WHEN HIS VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT AT TIMES IT WOULD SPUTTER DURING ACCELERATION. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND CURRENTLY IT HAS 29,000 MILES. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED UNDER WARRANTY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR OVER A WEEK BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT. I INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE WE WERE DOWN A VEHICLE AND THE DEALER SAID ALL THEIR LOANERS WERE OUT AND THEY WILL ONLY ALLOW US TO HAVE THE LOANER FOR 5 DAYS TOTAL. SO, THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT US WHEN THEY HAD A LOANER AVAILABLE. WE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM, SO MY HUSBAND CALLED THEM BACK 8 DAYS LATER TO INQUIRE ABOUT A LOANER AGAIN, AND AT THAT TIME THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY; ALL IT NEEDED WAS OIL. SO, WHEN WE WENT TO PICK-UP THE VEHICLE THEY'RE CHARGING US $189 AND THIS VEHICLE IS STILL ON WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY ON THE JEEP IS FRAUDULENT AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE DEVIOUS.

I BOUGHT A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE FOR THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A SAFE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM TO TALK WITH MY FAMILY. I HAVE OWNED SINCE NEW AND REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO JEEP. THE BLUETOOTH CUTS OUT AND IS GARBLED WHEN ON THE PHONE. I OWN A 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH BLUETOOTH AND IT IS FLAWLESS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IT WHAT I GET WITH A RENEGADE. I HAVE TO HOLD MY PHONE IN MY HAND WHILE DRIVING. IN MY OPINION UNSAFE.
LWHILE DRIVING VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING SIGN. WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS LOW ON OIL. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 3000 MILES. DEALER INFORMED ME TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. WAS NEVER TOLD THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED AND NOW I'M STUCK AND AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS IT SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS.

MY JEEP RENEGADE HAS 16000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TO 5 TIMES FOR BURNING OIL. WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND IT MUST BURN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF OIL FOR IT TO QUALIFY FOR A NEW ENGINE. IT HAS SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE MY 8 MONTH OLD TWINS WERE IN THE CAR. BOTH TIMES I WAS ON A CITY ROAD. THE FIRST TIME I DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST I BROUGHT IT BACK AFTER ABOUT 1500 MILES AND THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T LOW. I STOPPED TAKING IT SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND IN 3000 MILES IT BURNED ENOUGH OIL FOR IT TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT ME TO DO ANOTHER TEST EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF BURNING OIL.

SINCE 21000 MILES (FIRST INSTENCE) WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF , AND LOSING ALL POWER TO THE GAS AND BREAK, ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. I WAS TURNING LEFT AND THE ENGINE SPUTRERED, THEN AS THE WHEEL STRAIGHTENED UP IT COMPLETELY LOUSY ALL GAS, AND BREAK FUNCTION AS IF IT WAS NOT IDLING. ABOUT EVERY 3-4 WEEKS AFTER IT WOULD STALL, BUT NOT LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL. WE STARTED TO NOTICE IT WAS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL, AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING FIRST COUPLE ISSUES. WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING IT LOOKED AT, AS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO START THE ENGINE AT ALL, WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 30,000 MILES. CAR IS 1.5 YEARS OLD , PROBLEMS AROSE 5 MONTHS AGO.

MY RENEGADE TRAILHAWK CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING/TURNING. IN THE PAST TWO DAYS IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. EACH TIME MY SON WAS IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING AT A FAST SPEED (35/40 MPH). THESE STALLS OCCURRED ON BUSY STREETS (HOLME AVENUE - 19136; KNIGHTS ROAD - PHILADELPHIA, PA (GOING TO JEFFERSON TORRESDALE HOSPITAL TO WORK) AND FRANKFORD AVENUE AND GRANT AVENUE, PHILADELPHIA, PA) WHEN IT STALLED. THE "CHECK OIL" LIGHT CAME ON ONCE. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY. I JUST HAD THE CAR INSPECTED ON MARCH 28, 2019 - INCLUDING AN OIL CHANGE. HOW CAN A CAR THAT HAS A LITTLE OVER 3,000 MILES ON IT HAVE THIS HAPPEN. THIS JUST STARTED AND PUTS MY FAMILY IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS ALSO HAPPENED THE WEEK AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE - CALLED THE DEALER (REEDMAN TOLL) AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NO REPORTS OF IT HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE SO JUST KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

MY VEHICLE'S BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I TRIED TO BACK UP AND TURNED THE SHIFT INTO REAR, THE MONITOR USUALLY TURNS ON AUTOMATICALLY BUT ONCE IT DIDN'T AND STAYED ALL IN BLACK SCREEN. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ELECTRIC CONNECTION WAS LOOSE. IT WAS BACK ON. BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN LATER SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AGAIN AND THEY SAY THE MONITOR WORKS AND THEY DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM. NEXT DAY IT TURNED ALL BLACK AGAIN. IT KEEPS HAPPENING. SOMETIMES IT WORKS. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.
MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE BEGAN TO STALL OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING AND ACTING AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO CRANK. NO LIGHTS ARE ON. I'VE NOTICED SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON. I HAVE THE 2018 JEEP RENEGADE 4X2 2.4 LITER.

FIRST, SPEAKER KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT THEN 12V PORT WAS DEAD. SCREEN SHOT OFF A FEW TIMES. HANDS FREE ACCESS STOPPED WORKING A FEW TIMES. NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME (3 DIFFERENT STALL OUTS), THE CAR IS SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS LAST TIME, IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN ANOTHER SHIFT OTHER THAN DRIVE AND WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK IT RAN ROUGH THEN JUST DIED. CAME BACK ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING.

MY WIFE HAS HAD HER RENEGADE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW. WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER WE GOT IT SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN TOWN AND IT STARTED SPUTTERING AND SHUT OFF UNDER A RED LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ABOUT GOT HIT. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED BACK AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. ONCE OFF THE ROAD SHE LET IT SIT AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME BUT IT CUT OFF AGAIN. WE LEFT IT OVER NIGHT AT THE SHERIFF'S DEPT AND GOT IT THE NEXT DAY AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THEY KEPT IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS IT STARTED MESSING UP AGAIN. SO YET AGAIN WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. NOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS ITS DOING THE SAME THING AS BEFORE AND ABOUT CAUSED HER TO GET HIT. IT'S BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP SO HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIGURE IT OUT. BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE REPORTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE I DON'T HAVE MUCH FAITH IN THAT. HOPEFULLY JEEP WILL SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE AND RECALL THE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

I WAS ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY ON A STRAIGHTAWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. WITH OUT WARNING MY CAR TURNED TO THE RIGHT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND DID NOT BRAKE. I HIT AN EMBANKMENT AT FULL SPEED AND ROLLED. I WAS NOT IMPAIRED NOR DID I FALL ASLEEP; HOWEVER, DUE TO INJURIES I SUSTAINED IN THE ACCIDENT I HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF THE EVENTS CAUSING ME TO LEAVE THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE DID NOT SKID OR SWERVE AND DROVE TO THE RIGHT UNTIL IT STARTED ROLLING. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO DISCOVER POSSIBLE REASONS FOR IT SUDDENLY PULLING RIGHT WITHOUT BRAKES. THANKFULLY, THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THIS VEHICLE SAVED MY LIFE, BY ALL ACCOUNTS THEY WERE EXPECTING A FATALITY. I WALKED AWAY WITH MY LIFE. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK 4X4 TO SUDDENLY TURN RIGHT AND NOT SLOW DOWN AS I KNOW I WOULD NOT HAVE LEFT THE ROAD IN THAT MANNER FOR NO REASON AND CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN STANDING ON THE BRAKES AND PULLING TO THE LEFT TO AVOID THE EMBANKMENT. I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN THE JEEP BRAND AND KNOW THAT REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF MY ACCIDENT, THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THIS VEHICLE ARE AMAZING!

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW FROM DEALER STOCK IN PATCHOGUE, NY, WITH TRAILHAWK TRIM. HAD IT A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, AND HAVE LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN THE 1ST WEEK THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A WAVE IN IT AT EYE LEVEL. HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. AT SAME TIME, WE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH CLIMATE CONTROL AND DEALER COULDN'T GET US IN TO LOOK AT IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH. WHAT HAPPENS IS AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND TEMP IS LEFT AT SAY 72 IN ALL ZONES, OFTEN WHEN YOU RESTART THE VEHICLE LATER OR THE NEXT DAY IT IS NO LONGER SET TO 72 AND MAY BE BLASTING SUPERHOT AIR AT 90 OR JUMP TO LOW AC OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. ITS A COMPLETELY RANDOM TEMPERATURE HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH OUTSIDE AIR TEMP. ALSO, DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH EVERY RESTART. THIS CAR HAS THE AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL FEATURE TOO, BUT THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHETHER WE LEAVE IT ON AUTO OR MANUAL. WE ALSO CHECKED TO MAKE SURE NO ONE WAS KNOCKING INTO THE CONTROL WITH LEGS OR HANDBAGS ETC. DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THIS IS "JUST HOW JEEP MANUFACTURED IT", AND "THE JEEP ENGINEERS DELIBERATELY WANT THE TEMPERATURE TO BE RANDOM BECAUSE ITS NOT A PRIORITY". THIS IS MY THIRD CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP VEHICLE, AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED IN EITHER OF THE OTHER TWO, SO THAT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE JUST A DEALER BEING LAZY AND NOT WANTING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND GOT LITTLE HELP SO FAR. HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR TO ME NO ENGINEER WOULD EVER DESIGN A CAR TO BE SO DELIBERATELY INCONVENIENT AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WHERE YOU HAVE TO SPEND THE FIRST FEW MOMENTS IN YOUR CAR FIDDLING WITH DIGITAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLS. EVER CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN STORES YOUR LAST TEMPERATURE AND RESUMES THAT TEMPERATURE WHEN YOU RETURN. DID I MENTION WE ARE EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE AS A RESULT AND HAVE ALREADY TOLD MANY FRIENDS TO AVOID JEEP. TERRIBLE.

VEHICLE STALLING AND DYING WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. I CAN SIT FOR 10 MIN AND IT HESITATES SO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND STOP (SOMETIME WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD) IT SEEMS IF I LEAVE IT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 20 MIN IT WILL DO THIS THEN THE WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES AND IT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS ITS SELF OFF. AND IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT I HAVE TO LEAVE IT TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MIN THEN IT WILL RUN OK... I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE THEY CAN SEEM TO REPLICATE IT (IF THEY EVEN REALLY TRIED TO) I JUST PURCHASED THIS LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO HAD ONLY 6 MILES ON IT.
