2016 JEEP RENEGADE Fuelpropulsion System Problems

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.

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”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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 BELIEVE I AM ENTITLED TO A NEW CAR JUST LIKE MINE, PAID IN FULL IN 2017. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INCLUDE PICTURES *JS

CAR STALLS OFTEN. JUST STARTED HAPPENING, RECENTLY, BUT MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. SEEMS LIKE A FUEL PUMP ISSUE, LIKE THE 2017-18 RENEGADE RECALL WAS ABOUT. OFTEN STALLS SHORTLY AFTER START UP, AND WHEN GOING SLOWLY, OR WHEN COMING UP TO A STOP.

THE ENGINE BURNS THROUGH OIL WAY TO FAST AND CREATES UNNECESSARY COST. ALSO IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO SHUT DOWN WHEN I TURN RIGHT SLOWLY. POWER CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATES.

WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. MY WIFE COMMUTES MY DISABLED CHILD TO A STATE SCHOOL EVERY SCHOOL DAY. WHILE ON HER WAY HOME THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION SHUTTERED AND DIED WHILE DRIVING. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO A ACCESS ROAD. THE VEHICLE THEN WOULD NOT START WITH SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. SHE THEN CALLED ME, WHO WAS AT WORK, AND I LEFT TO HELP CHECK THE CAR. WITH LIMITED TOOLS AT MY DISPOSAL, I CHECKED FOR BATTERY VOLTAGE AND INTAKE RESTRICTION. NO PROBLEMS FOUND. I CHECKED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR FUEL AND HAD 2 LED BARS WITH NO LOW FUEL "DUMMY" LIGHT. CYCLED TO RANGE TILL EMPTY SECTION AND WAS SHOWING 60 MILES TO EMPTY. SO I ASSUMED FUEL WAS NOT THE ISSUE, BUT DIDN'T RULE IT OUT. SINCE SHE HAD ALREADY DRIVEN 60 MILES TO THIS POINT, I ASSUMED...

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN TOWN ON A BUSY STREET, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND MY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND STARTED TO SLOW AT THE SAME TIME. I TRIED TO PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT IT DID NOTHING. I THEN NOTICED ON MY DASH SCREEN IT SAID TO SHIFT INTO PARK TO STOP. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD JUST STOPPED. I TRIED RESTARTING MY VEHICLE AFTER TURNING MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND THE ENGINE JUST KEPT TURNING, SO I PRESSED THE STOP BUTTON AS THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. THE BRAKE WAS LOCKED UP AND AND SO DID MY SHIFTER. I THEN HAD TO CALL A TOW SERVICE AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL JEEP CHRYSLER SHOP. THIS HAPPENED SUNDAY ON...

AFTER INITIAL START CAR ABRUPTLY SHUTS OFF AFTER ACCELERATING A SHORT DISTANCE. AS TO PUT CAR BACK IN PARK RESTART AND THEN PUT IN GEAR.

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.

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...

THIS IS REGARDING MY SON'S VEHICLE. ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE FUEL GAUGE HAS SHOWN FUEL IN THE TANK. ONCE IT WAS SHOWING JUST UNDER A QUARTER TANK AND ANOTHER SHOWING JUST UNDER HALF TANK. IN REALITY THE TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. BOTH TIMES HE WAS OBVIOUSLY DRIVING AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND LEFT HIM TRYING TO NEGOTIATE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND STRANDED UNTIL HIS FATHER OR WHERE ABLE TO REACH HIM.

WHEN IDLE (STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC LIGHT) AND APPLIED GAS TO ACCELERATE, A READING COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD OF "VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT" AND THE MESSAGES DISAPPEARS QUICKLY. THE CAR STOPS, I HAVE TO RESET TO PARK, TURN OFF THE CAR, START IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS IN THE WORST OF TIMES, IN TRAFFIC, RANDOMLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 2018.

MY JEEP STALLS OUT WHEN I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES AND CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT!

MY CAR STALLED TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION. IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS TURNING LEFT AND THEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND A NOTIFICATION SIGNALED ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE CAR MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO OIL IN MY CAR. THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD TO WARN ME THAT MY OIL WAS LOW. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS 6,000 MILES AGO, PRIOR TO THE ONE I RECEIVED TODAY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT THAT APPEARED. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR NOW. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS REPORTED IN ONLINE FORUMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

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.

ON 3 OR 4 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4 X 4 9 SPEED LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. IN DRY CONDITIONS MY JEEPS ANTI TRACTION LIGHT WILL COME ON THE DASH, AND I LOSE ALL POWER FOR 5-10 SECONDS. IT STOPS, NO GAS . IT DOESNT SHUT OFF, IT LOSES ALL POWER. LAST TIME I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN, THE LIGHTS CHANGED TO GREEN, I TURNED ON MY BLINKER TO TURN LEFT GOING LESS THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR AND IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN WITH A CAR BEHIND ME MY JEEP STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET DEAD FOR 5-10 SECONDS. I THOUGHT I WOULD BE REAR ENDED SINCE IT WAS ABRUPT.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED MAY 16, 2016. ON AUGUST 6, 2016 THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS SHUTOFF COMPLETELY. IT ONLY TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 20-30 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON AND STAYED ON. AFTER THE STOP, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART, DID NOT TURN OVER; ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED. SHORTLY AFTER THE COMPLETE SHUTOFF, THE VEHICLE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP, THE BODY SHOP IS ALSO UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY AND SEAT BELTS AND THE LIGHT INDICATING THE FUEL SHUTOFF IS STILL ON.
