2016 JEEP RENEGADE Engine Problems

FIRST AT 25000 MILES ENGINE COOLING FAN WENT OUT AND RATTLED SO LOUD AND OVERHEATED HAD TO BE TOWED. TOOK DEALERSHIP A WEEK JUST TO GET THE PARTS. NOW AT 34000 MILES ENGINE DIED AND VEHICLE STOPPED ON HIGHWAY ON RAMP ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. NO ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. I DROVE IT AND WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 10 MPH WHILE MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE THAN ENGINE DIES IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ALMOST ANOTHER ACCIDENT. 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...

THE FAN IS WOBBLING AND MAKING A GRINDING NOISE - LIKE ITS RUBBING ON SOMETHING. ONLY WHEN IDLE, OR AC/HEAT IS ON.

MY RADIATOR FAN IS MAKING A NOISE AND I DON'T BELIEVE IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHICH IS CAUSING MY JEEP TO RUN HOT. MY ENGINE SMELLS LIKE BURNED RUBBER UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. THE NOISE OCCURS WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IDLE.

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.

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...

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING, WHEN CHECKED IT STATED IT WAS THERMOSTAT IS NOT WORKING ON A 2016 CAR

BOUGHT JEEP BRAND NEW AND NOW HAS 17,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE HAD INJECTORS REPLACES. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIME FOR PCV VALVE FREEZING AND CAUSING CYLINDERS TO MISFIRE. IT HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AND OCCASIONALLY WILL JUST SHUT. IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIME AND USUALLY AT LEAST 2 DAYS A POP. ONE OF THOSE TIMES HAD IT TOWED IN AT MY EXPENSE. VERY DISPLEASED WITH ENGINE. DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. SO THIS IS SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERY WINTER. NOT EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. AT ONE POINT SHUT OFF TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHERE I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK

ENGINE COOLING FAN MOTOR DOESNT EVEN LAST 35,000 MILES WITHOUT BEING REPLACED. BEARINGS IN THE FAN MOTOR GO BAD!

AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES THE ENGINE FAN HAS GONE BAD CAUSING THE CAR TO OVERHEAT. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY 600-800$ IN REPAIRS FOR A NEW VEHICLE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING SOMETHING SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND DONE ABOUT THIS.

THE ENGINE FAN HAS DECIDED TO STOP WORKING AT ONLY 44K MILES!? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEIR RENEGADE AT EVEN FEWER MILES THAN THIS. 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...

HI [XXX]AT FCA - MY NAME IS [XXX]. I CALLED YOUR OFFICE AT FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THE 2016 JEEP RENEGADE PURCHASED AT WILDER TOYOTA.

THE VEHICLE BY THE WAY -THAT HAS ALMOST CAUSED HER AND HER SON TO BE IN FOUR ACCIDENTS DUE TO ITS SUDDEN DECELERATION AT 50 MPH TO 30MPH WITH NO WARNING. HERE IS THE ?FIXES? FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT NEVER ADDRESSED THE REASON THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING. NOTHING IS FIXED. ALSO IT HAS BROKEN DOWN FOUR TIMES -THE LAST TIME...

MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE RADIATOR FAN ASSEMBLY IS SHOT. STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS IDLING ON MY WAY HOME.IT IS ALMOST $1000 TO FIX AND I CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE. IT IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. IT HAS 45K MILES. ONLINE THERE IS A TON OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, PARTICULARLY IN THE 2016 JEEPS. I WANT TO URGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS CAR AND COMPANY TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS.

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.

COOLING FAN QUIT WORKING. 50 AMP FUSE BLOWS. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY. HAD TO KEEP HEAT ON TO KEEP COOLENT TEMPERATURE DOWN.

AT 55000 MILES THE COOLING FAN QUIT OUT OF NOWHERE. IT WAS FINE THE DAY BEFORE AND THEN WHEN IT WAS CRANKED THE NEXT MORNING THE FAN WAS TICKING AND THEN ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER STOPPED RUNNING.

MY RADIATOR FAN WENT OUT AT 50,000 MILES THEREFORE OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD NOTICED A FEW TIMES THAT I WOULD HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE, I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAW NO ISSUES. FAST FORWARD 4 MONTHS AND I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND MY CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND THAT I SHOULD SUBMIT A COMPLAINT TO HOPEFULLY GET A RECALL ON THIS AS I PAID A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX IT .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRANKLIN SUSSEX AUTO MALL (315 NJ-23, SUSSEX, NJ 07461, 973-875-3188) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE RADIATOR FAN IS WOBBLING AND CAUSING A RATTLING NOISE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG OTHER RENEGADE OWNERS. IT MAY CATCH ON FIRE OR RUPTURE THE RADIATOR. IT WILL CERTAINLY LEAD TO OVERHEATING IF IT ISN'T REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING ROUGHLY 15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY CAR MADE A RATTELING NOISE. I STOPPED AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. WITH IN 5-10 MINUTES I COULD SMELL BURNING COMING FROM MY ENGINE. MY ENGINE BEGAN SMOKING. MY COOLANT LEVEL HAD DROPPED. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO REFILL THE COOLANT AND MAKE IT BACK TO TOWN. THE NEXT MORNING MY COOLANT HAD DROPPED AGAIN. I REFILLED IT THEN SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE AGAIN WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT A 1/2 BLOCK AWAY FROM MY STARTING LOCATION. 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...

PROBLEM WITH COOLING FANS. TOOK TO TWO DIFFERENT PLACES AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC WAS RUN ON THE CAR. HAVE NOW LEFT THE CAR WITH A JEEP DEALERSHIP SO DO NOT CURRENTLY KNOW WHAT THE FINAL RESOLUTION WILL BE.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE ENGINE MADE NOISE, THEN STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE LESS THAN 34K MILES. THIS WAS WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON. AND WHEN IT WAS OFF, IT WOULD NOT MOVE MANUALLY.

STALLED DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY THREE TIMES IN 30 MINUTES. DRY ROADS, SUNNY 90 DEGREES F, GOING STRAIGHT. AC ON FULL BLAST. NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. ONLY 41000 MILES. NEW VEHICLE FOR ME. I KNOW THE 2017 WAS RECALLED (U18), AND THIS LOOKS JUST LIKE IT, BUT ON THE 2016.

MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE FAN ASSEMBLY CONTINUES TO LOCK UP AND MAKE LOUD NOISES I HAD TO GET IT REPLACED ONCE THIS WILL BE MY SECOND TIME REPLACING THE FAN. I NOTICED ON THE JEEP FORUM THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT LOTS OF JEEP RENEGADE DRIVERS ARE HAVING ITS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE AND SOMETIMES I TAKE ROAD TRIPS IVE ONLY HAD THE JEEP A YEAR .

CAR HAD 25000 MILES. GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC AND STARTED OVER HEATING. FAN WAS RATTLING AND FOUND TO BE BAD. WE HAVE REPLACED THE FAN 3 TIMES SINCE THEN AT $400 A POP. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR A FIX IMPLEMENTED SOON. CAN'T AFFORD MONTHLY PAYMENTS X2 DUE TO REPLACING FAN EVERY MONTH.

COOLING FAN STARTED RATTLING VERY LOUD. IT SEEMS TO BE LOOSE. VEHICLE HAS 40114 MILES. RESEARCH ON INTERNET CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND JEEP REDESIGNED THEIR COOLING FAN FOR REPLACEMENTS AND NEWER VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINC IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM!!!

VEHICLE STARTS ENGINE. HOWEVER ALL EMERGENCY AND WARNINGS LIGHTS GO ON. BRAKES AND STEERING LOCK. CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL BATTERY IS UNPLUGED. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY AND RANDOMLY.

MY ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN IS WOBBLING AT ONLY 32,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT'S MAKE A HITTING NOISE FROM IT.

RADIATOR FAN IS LOOSE AND IS MAKING LOUD NOISES. DONE RESEARCH AND HAVE SEEN THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. IT HAS NOW CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP MADE A NOISE AND STARTED TO OVERHEAT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD BE $600 TO REPLACE. I RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF AFFECTED JEEP OWNERS. THERE IS NO RECALL BUT MY CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE BASIC WARRANTY AS WELL. THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATED ASAP!

JUST LIKE SOOO MANY PEOPLE ONLINE OUT RADIATOR COOLING FAN STARTED WOBBLING AND NOW GRINDING. THERE ARE SO MANY FORUMS, SITES AND VIDEOS THAT SHOW THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. A RECALL IS NOT YET IN EFFECT BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ASAP. COST IS 400-1000 FOR EACH REPAIR. AND DON'T LET THEM TRY TO SAY IT'S AN ISSUE OF DIRT. IT'S USUALLY AROUND 36,000 MILES SO DON'T WAIT TO FIX IT AS THE WARRENTY WILL EXPIRE.

AT ABOUT 41000 MILES WHEN THE COOLING FAN STARTED TO WOBBLE AND STARTED TO SMELL. TOOK IT IN TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT WAS THE COOLING FAN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, OVER 1000S HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE DUE TO FAULTING BEARINGS IN THE FAN. I URGE TO DEMAND A RECALL ON THIS.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC WHEN TURNING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE. NOTHING HAPPENS, NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. VEHICLE ALSO SUDDENLY DIED TODAY FOR NO REASON AT A STOP LIGHT (VEHICLE STOPPED). IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET IT TO RESTART, BUT EVENTUALLY DID RESTART.

STARTED RUNNING HOT OUT OF THE BLUE. CHECKED FUSES AND THE MAIN FUSE TO THE FAN WAS BLOWN. REPLACED THE FUSE BUT THE FAN STILL IS NOT TURNING ON. VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING HOT AND PRODUCING SMOKE/STEAM ALONG WITH A BURNING SMELL. THE SYMPTOMS STARTED WHILE WAITING IN STOPPED TRAFFIC BUT SEEMED TO CLEAR UP WHILE MOVING, THEN GOT WORSE WHILE SITTING IDLE WITH AC UNIT ON. I HAVE BEEN READING UP ON IF THERE ARE ISSUES RELATED TO MINE AND THERE SEEM TO BE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE COOLING FAN. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL??

COOLING FAN SHAKES RATTLES ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY CAR GIVES OFF AN ANTIFREEZE SMELL OR ELECTRICAL SMELL WHEN FAN MALFUNCTIONS.

RADIATOR FAN IS FAILING AT 20,000 MILES NOT NOT KEEPING THE RADIATOR AND ENGINE COOL. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND IDLING. JEEP HAS THIS PART ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA. I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE WEEKS BEFORE THE PART ARRIVES. I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT MANY OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, AS WELL AS THE LONG DELAY FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE A RENTAL CAR THAT I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM JEEP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (ANCIRA EAGLE PASS FORD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 403I9 ADAMS CIR, EAGLE PASS, TX 78852) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAN FRACTURED. THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER UNTIL MARCH 19, 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 33146932. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR TEN DAYS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

3 WEEKS AGO I HEARD A WOBBLING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING. IT WAS A DAY LATER I WAS ABLE CATCH WHAT IT WAS MAKING THE NOISE WHICH IS THE COOLING FAN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP NOT WANTING TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF OVERHEATING. THE ISSUE WAS CONFIRMED THERE AND AFTER TWO FALSE ARRIVAL DATES I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THY FINALLY ADMITTED THERE WAS NO DATE FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW FAN. I AM NOW PAYING FOR A CAR I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL GET BACK. MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES AND THE OLDER CAR I AM USING NOW IS NOT VERY RELIABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF TRAVEL.

WHILE DRIVING IN CITY, ENGINE TEMP WENT TO OVERHEAT. LOUD NOISE AND SMOKE FROM ENGINE. AFTER INSPECTION ENGINE FAN WOBBLING ON MOUNT AND MOTOR SMOKING. CAR IS 14 MONTHS OLD WITH 15000 MILES

WHEN I WOULD GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE WITH IT ON I COULD HEAR A RADDLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY JEEP. WHEN I CHECKED IT OUT MY RADIATOR FAN WOULD WOBBLING WHEN IT SPINS. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES IN IT.

THIS CAR IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. THE ACCELERATOR CHOOSES WHEN TO WORK. MY CAR HAS 35000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I AM TURNING OR ON THE HIGHWAY OR JUST DRIVING NORMALLY, PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR IT HAS A TWO TO THREE SECOND DELAY BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE. THE DEALERSHIPS WON'T HELP ME AND IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS WITH MY THREE YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR! MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO AS OF TODAY I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR FAN FOR THE THIRD TIME. IT HAS BURNED UP TWICE BEFORE! HOW UNFAIR TO BUY A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO HAVE THESE OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSES AND SAFETY ISSUES!!! THIS HAS TO BE FIXED.

RADIATOR COOLING FAN MAKE NOISE AND STOP WORKING DURING SLOW SPEED CITY DRIVING. ENGINE OVERHEATED. ONLY 6,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. TOOK THE CAR FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. IT'S BEING SITTING AT THE DEALER'S SERVICE AREA FOR 42 DAYS WITH NO EXPECTED REPAIR DATE. AS PER DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER, THE REPLACEMENT PART IS OUT OF STOCK WITH NO ETA FROM MANUFACTURER.

BEEN HAPPENING FOR PAST MONTH FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED IN JAN 2017 CALL STALLING HAVING HARD TIME RESTARTING. BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY CAR STALLS ONCE DONE REVERSING AND PUTTING INTO DRIVE. HAVE DONE IT WITH ROLLING STOP AT STOP SIGN/LIGHT.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. IT HAS 45,000 MILES AND WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING TO GET SOME LUNCH FROM WORK AND THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING. NOW I HAVE REALIZED THE ISSUE IS THAT THE RADIATOR FAN HAS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A NATION WIDE PROBLEM EFFECTING MANY PEOPLE.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE SEPTEMBER 29 2017. MY 1.3 YEAR OLD RENEGADES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. CALLED TO MAKE APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY WITH DEALER. 5 MINUTES LATER THE THE TEMPERATURE SPIKED IN ABOUT 1 SECOND TO AROUND 265 DEGREES. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE GAVE NO INDICATION OF A RISING TEMPERATURE AND LITERALLY SHOT UP. THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN LOCKED UP. 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...

COOLING FAN FAILED 41000 MILES. FAN KEEPS BLOWING FUSES AND WILL NOT SPIN BY HAND. VEHICLE WILL OVER HEAT IF IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR A YEAR A AGO. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRENTY. THE RADIATOR IS MESSED UP AND CAR IS OVER HEATED. IT SHOWS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. BUT DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT COULD TAKE THEM MONTHS . WHY DO NOT THEY RECALL ALL THE CARS??
