2017 JEEP RENEGADE Engine Problems

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES WITHIN 24 HOURS WITH MY CAR. TOOK THE CAR TO JEEP SERVICE AND THE ATTENDANT STATED THAT THIS CAR "CONSUMES 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES" AND THAT I SHOULD CALL CORPORATE. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO JEEP IT WAS OUT OF OIL WITH NO WARNING OF A NEED FOR AN OIL CHANGE OR THAT I WAS LOW ON OIL. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS NOT MADE AWARE THAT I WOULD NEED TO CHANGE THE OIL THIS OFTEN AND THAT THIS CAR "CONSUMES" THIS MUCH OIL REQUIRING CONSTANT SERVICE. IT IS ALSO NOT STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THE ISSUE WITH THIS CAR COULD CAUSE A HORRIBLE COLLISION, AS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT COMPLETELY...

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL JERK REALLY HARD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND PICK UP THE SPEED OR JUST DRIVING NORMAL. THE DEALER SAID IT HAD TO IMITATE THE PROBLEM SO HE CAN KNOW WHAT TO FIX. SO IT DID IMITATE THE JERK SO HE WANTED TO DRIVE IT HISSELF CAUSE HE SAID THE WAY I WAS DRIVING CAUSED THE CAR TO JERK. I TOLD HIM I HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS AND IT HAS NEVER DONE THAT. SO IT CAN'T BE THE WAY I'M DRIVING. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE SAME THE WHOLE WHILE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME AND IT'S DOING THE SAME THING EVEN WORSE. . IT'S FRUSTRATING CAUSE THEY KEEP SAYING THAT IT'S NOT DOING IT. I WILL NEVER BY...

MY CAR BEGIN SPUTTERING, STALLING WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS, MY INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE PANEL OF THE CAR WOULD JUST START TO GO CRAZY CAUSING THE SEATBELT SIGN TO BEGIN TO DING AND DING AND DING, EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE THAT I SHOULD LOOK UP. I DID AND THERE WERE THREE RECALLS INVOLVING MY VEHICLE, TWO OF WHICH RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I ASKED HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY LISTED. SHE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT AND IF THEY DETERMINED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. AFTER RECENTLY PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND "LOW OIL PRESSURE" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, THE ENGINE LEAKED OIL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEIZED MORE THAN ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NATIONAL DODGE OF JACKSONVILLE (2223 N MARINE BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, NC 28546, (910) 347-3777) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT OIL WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO COME BACK FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AFTER FIVE HUNDRED MILES. WHEN THE CONTACT RETURNED, THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,050.

MY 2017 RENEGADE JEEP IS STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, OR AS I ACCELERATE TO LEAVE A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A 18 WHEELER TRUCK 2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE THE JEEP STALLED AND I COULD NOT MOVE OUT OF THE TRUCK'S WAY. MY JEEP ALSO ACCELERATES, OR LOSES POWER. IT IS RATTLING SINCE 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND I AM AFRAID I MAY HAVE A FIRE. I HAVE ALERTED RUSSELL WESTBROOK JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT 9/10/2017. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE 3/01/2019. *JS

MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE 4X4 SPORT IS JERKING POSSIBLY THE TRANSMISSION COULD BE SLIPPING. THIS OCCURS AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH AND IT ALSO OCCURS WHEN IDLING.

VEHICLE'S OIL CONSUMPTION IS HIGHER THAN OWNER MANUAL INDICATES. ENGINE IS CONSUMING APPROX. A LITER EVERY 750-1,000 MILES. HAVE BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO LOW OIL LIGHT COMING ON AND WAS TOLD THAT THE 2.4 ENGINE TENDS TO BURN OIL AND THIS WAS NORMAL. THEY ADVISED THAT I JUST CHECK THE OIL LEVELS AND ADD OIL WHEN LOW. THIS FIRST STARTED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE AS OF TODAY 04/05/19.* *DT CONSUMER STATED DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS TYPE OF ENGINE BURNS OIL AND THAT CONSUMER COULD COME MONTHLY TO HAVE THE OIL CHECKED. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK. CONSUMER HAD THE OIL CHANGED FOUR TIMES AT ROUGHLY 22,000 MILES.*JB

WHILLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND DESCENDING A SMALL HILL THE VEHICLE "SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT" ILLUMINATES, CHIMES AND THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION LOCKS INTO A RANDOM GEAR (TYPICALLY 3 OR 5TH GEAR) AND REMAINS IN THIS GEAR. IT HAPPENS OVER HALF OF THE TIME AND RESULTS IN A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY OR MAINTAIN ADEQUATE SPEED DEPENDING ON THE GEAR IN WHICH IT IS STUCK. THE VEHICLE HAS TO DODGE TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER IN A SAFE PLACE WHERE THE VEHICLE CAN BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, WHICH IN MOST CASES WILL RESET THE TRANSMISSION AND ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION CLOSER TO NORMAL. FCA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEALER HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO REMEDY THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR 6 MONTHS. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, THE TRANSMISSION, THE EVAP CANISTER AND THE...

AUGUST 24TH, 2018, TRIP TO COLORADO, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, WENT TO EXIT AND THE CAR STALLED ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, CODES RESET. MILAGE 15000 MARCH 27, 2019, TURNED ON CAR, THE RADIO DIDN'T WORK AND THE MILEAGE WAS FLASHING, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET SIT FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, TURNED BACK ON, THE RADIO STILL DIDN'T WORK AND THE MILEAGE WAS FLASHING. RADIO CAME BACK ON EVENTUALLY. DROVE HOME AND THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND NOT SHIFTING LIKE USUAL...SO MAD TO TO DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM TO NOT GIVE IT BACK TO ME UNTIL FIXED. MILEAGE 29800 THIS CAR WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT FEBRUARY 2018. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SUED FOR THE EXACT SAME THINGS IN 2015....IS IT GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER CLASS ACTION SUIT TO GET YOU...

AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE OIL LIGHT BRIEFLY FLASHED ON ONCE WHEN TAKING A SHARP TURN (LEFT OR RIGHT). THIS OCCURRED TWICE. THE THIRD TIME WAS WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT STANDARD SPEED (NOT A FAST ACCELERATION) BUT THE ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO DELAY AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH. 1/10TH OF A MILE I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE (SAME DAY) AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AGAIN - ALMOST CAUSING A REAR-END COLLISION. AGAIN, THE CAR RESTART WITHOUT DELAY AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. I PULLED THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF ROAD AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I EXPLAINED DETAILS AND SAID THE ONLY OTHER EXPERIENCE I HAD WAS IT WAS TIME TO CHANGE THE OIL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID CHANGE YOUR OIL AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. ??REALLY?? I WAS CONFUSED OF WHY &...

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN TURNING. AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES OCTOBER 2018, DASH MESSAGE BRIEFLY ILLUMINATED "CHECK ENGINE OIL" ONLY ONE TIME (THEN TURN OFF) WHEN IN A SHARP TURN (LEFT AND RIGHT DIRECTIONS). THIS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE 4TH TIME, THE ENGINE COMPLETE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. I WAS LEAVING MY WORK PARKING LOT AND DECIDED TO DRIVE TOWARD THE DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE TURNED ON WITHOUT HESITATION AND NO WARNING ON DASH. 1/10TH MILE FROM WORK, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN IN A TURN, ALMOST CAUSING A REAR-END COLLISION. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND CALLED THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN AND ASKED IF I CAN DRIVE TO THEM. I EXPLAINED THE ONLY ISSUE WAS THIS AND IT WAS TIME TO CHANGE OI. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT CHANGING THE OIL WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT DID. IT IS NOW MATCH 2019 AND THE VEHICLE HAS...

I BOUGHT MY JEEP WITH 17MILES ON IT. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I HAVE HAD MANY REACURRING PROBLEMS. 1ST AROUND THE 8000 MILE MARK MY JEEP STARTED SKIPPING GEARS LIKE WHEN YOU SHIFT A OLD TEN SPEED BIKE. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP IT TOOK A WEEK OR SO AND GOT IT BACK THE HAD TO REPROGRAM THE SHIFTING MODULE?? THEN 2ND AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IT WOULD JUST LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF, NOT FUN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT DID THIS. A FEW DAY LATER I WAS CROSSING A INTERSECTION AND IT DID IT AGAIN. AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. THIS WAS AT ABOUT 30000 MILES. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I HAD A OIL PROBLEM. AND THAT IS WHY. THEY REPLACED TOP END OF...

WAS DRIVING THIS EVENING, AND GOT ABOUT 2 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, AND THEN CONTINUING THROUGH, HALFWAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, ALL SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON (SERVICE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE ESC, SERVICE ENGINE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION), AND THEN IT SAID TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE I LOST POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO THE CURB. WHEN I GOT TO THE CURB, THE LIGHTS NEXT TO THE SHIFTER (PRND) WERE FLASHING UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND WHEN IT CAME BACK ON, ONLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. I PHONED JEEP, AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, BUT NONE WERE OPEN, SO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING, AND HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR ON THE STREET, BECAUSE IF I WENT MORE THAN 10 FEET, THE POWER WOULD GO OUT AGAIN AND WOULD LOSE...

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE HARD TURNS WITH MY JEEP RENEGADE 2017 4 WHEEL DRIVE SPORT EDITION THAT MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL EITHER STALL OR FLUTTER LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF IT STALLS WHILE I AM MAKING A TURN IN TRAFFIC

OIL CONSUMPTION. NEEDED 1QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. IT WILL STALL WHEN LOW ON OIL.

WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IDLE ENGINE JERKS. WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AND ACCELERATING THE JERKING IS PERSISTENT.

VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. *DT*JB

THE TRUNK POP OPEN IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO CLOSE TO IT. AFTER STARTING THE CAR THEN DRIVING THE CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AND GIVE IT A FEW MINS. THEN TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. THEN YOU CAN GO. IF YOU HIT THE RADIO BUTTONS TO FAST IT WILL TURN THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP AND WILL BE STUCK THERE TILL YOU TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESET THE RADIO.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE WITH 42,000 MILES HAS FAULTY IGNITION COILS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MISFIRE, AND STALL WHILE DRIVING. AFTER OUR JEEP RENEGADE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND MISFIRING, I STARTED RESEARCHING POSSIBLE ISSUES. SHORTLY AFTER THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED A PROBLEM, WHICH DISABLED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IN THE VEHICLE DURING A SNOWSTORM HERE. UPON PULLING THE CEL CODE, WE FOUND A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2 AND REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AS THIS IS A TYPICAL SOLUTION TO MINOR IGNITION ISSUES. UPON REPLACEMENT, I NOTICED ONE PLUG WAS BADLY FOULED AND CORRODED WITH ANOTHER HAVING SLIGHT FOULING. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE SPARK PLUGS, THE VEHICLE ACTED OK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THEN STARTED MISFIRING AGAIN. WE SWAPPED THE 2 AND 4 COIL WITH EACH OTHER RESULTING IN THE MISFIRE MOVING TO CYLINDER 4. THIS LEXUS TO REPLACE THE IGNITION COILS SOLVING THE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN...

IN MOTION UPON DECEL/ACCEL AT A STOP SIGN AND THEN TO PROCEED, THE ENGINE DIES. YOU HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RE-CRANK, THEN TRY TO PROCEED. NO LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON FOR ANY WARNING THAT MY ENGINE WAS LOW ON OIL OR THAT MY ENGINE WOULD DO AN AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN TO SAVE THE ENGINE. I WAS 2000 MILES OVER MY RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE (I OWN THIS MISTAKE) AND WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS FOUND TO LOW AND THAT THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE WAS MADE TO SHUT DOWN TO SAVE IT FROM BURNING UP. HOWEVER, NO WARNINGS, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS, JUST A SHUTOFF OF THE POWER TO VEHICLE UPON SLOWING TO STOP AND/OR RE-ACCELERATE. TROUBLE TO THINK I WOULD GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW MY OIL WAS TOO LOW AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. SO, MAJOR DEAL.... I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND THE...

IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE IDLING AND WHEN APPLY GAS, I HAVE A HALF A TANK OF GAS.

CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING SITUATIONS

THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMPS ILLUMINATE AT INCORRECT TIMES. ENGINE STALL. IT STOPS AND GOES BACK AND FORTH WHEN GAS IS PRESSED. THE BACKUP CAMERA BLANKS OUT AND GOES BLUE OR THE PICTURE IS NOT THERE AT ALI OR EXTREMELY FUZZY.

I HAVE A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THERE IS A MASSIVE RECALL ON THEM DUE TO THE CAR SHUTTING OFF DUE TO FUEL PUMP AND OIL SENSOR ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME IN INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED CHRYSTLER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS RECALL UNTIL AFTER THE 1ST QUARTER IS OVER DUE TO PART AND FUNDING ISSUES. THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

TAKATA RECALL - TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 12/10/18, TOOK A TRIP TO YOSEMITE ON 12/25/18 BEFORE LEAVING HOME MY HUSBAND CHECKED MY OIL AND I WAS HALF WAY DOWN MY OIL STICK. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN I JUST TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE? I WAS MAYBE A LITTLE MORE THEN 1000 MILES. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, THE FIRST TIME I WAS WAY LESS THAN MY OIL CHANGE MILEAGE WE WAS HEADING TO LA AND HALF WAY THERE MY CAR STARTED STALLING WE PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL WHEN THE CAR COOLED OFF AND MY HUSBAND NOTICE I HAD NO OIL IT WAS AT THE BOTTOM LINE ON MY OIL STICK. WE HAD TO RUSH TO GET OIL FOR MY CAR. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON, THANK GOD WE MADE IT SAFELY TO NAPA TO PURCHASE OIL.

MY CAR HAS CUT OFF WITH OUT NOTICE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THREE TIMES, ALWAYS AT LEAST A 1,000 MILES BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE . I CAN NOT MAKE IT 3.000 WITHOUT HAVING TO GET AN OIL CHANGE

MY CAR JUST ABOUT STALLED BUT IT KEPT GOING. BUT THEN IT GOT STUCK IN THIRD GEAR. I DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD BOUT THIS PROBLEM. WELL I JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2018 FEBRUARY.

MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING ON 3 OCCASIONS. I CHECKED MY OIL AND I SAW THAT IT WAS RUNNING LOW SO I PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN ON THURSDAY 12/13/18. I CHECKED AND THE OIL STICK AND THE LEVEL WAS AT THE MEDIUM LEVEL ON THE STICK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER 12/17/18 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR WHICH WAS IMPOSSIBLE SINCE I HAD JUST PUT OIL IN THE CAR. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT I DRIVE 500 MILES AND THEN COME BACK FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WINDWARD CHRYSLER (46177 KAHUHIPA ST, KANEOHE, HI) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE DEALER DESCRIBED THE MATTER AS NORMAL DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

AROUND 40000 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN MAKING A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD AND A BURNING SMELL WAS NOTICED. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THE CODE INDICATED THAT THE RADIATOR FAN HAD FAILED, MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FIND IT HIGHLY INDICATIVE OF A FAULTY AND DANGEROUS PART FOR A RADIATOR FAN TO FAIL SO QUICKLY. THE LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE CONFIRMED THIS, THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND IS REPLACED BY JEEP WITH A BETTER ONE, BUT AT THE COST OF THE OWNER. I FIND THIS HIGHLY NEGLIGENT, JEEP SHOULD BE REPLACING THIS PART FOR FREE AD PART OF A RECALL, AS THEY CLEARLY KNOW IT WAS AN INFERIOR PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO MADE A RATTLING NOISE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KINGS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (513-683-3000, LOCATED AT 4486 KINGS WATER DR, CINCINNATI, OH 45249) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLING FAN FAILED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,300.

MY CAR HAS STALLED TWO DAYS IN A ROW AT THE SAME SPOT. IN THE MORNING IT REFLECTS THAT I HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE BUT THEN THE WARNING GOES AWAY IMMEDIATELY. AFTER WORK, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A 0.5 MILES BEFORE IT STALLED AFTER THE SAME TURN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY WARNING LIGHTS AREN'T GOING OFF. THEY TOPPED MY CAR OFF WITH OIL EVEN THOUGH I JUST GOT AN OIL CHANGE 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND AM REGRETTING MY DECISION OF GETTING A JEEP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONSUMED AN ALARMING AMOUNT OF OIL. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND FOUND THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES EXPERIENCED AN OIL PUMP HOUSING CRACK IN THE BALANCE SHAFT MODULE. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH RIVER FRONT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (200 HANSEN BLVD, NORTH AURORA, IL 60542, (630) 907-1700) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, EVEN AFTER THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH A NUMBER TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 950.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WITH 4 PASSENGERS ON INTERSTATE 83 IN PENNSYLVANIA WHEN SHE HEARD A LOUD CLUNK, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SHE HAD LOST MOST ABILITY TO STEER. SHE FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP ON THE SIDE.THANK GOD EVERYONE WAS SAFE - THIS COULD HAVE ENDED TERRIBLY. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC AND WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR, THE BCM WENT BAD AND THEY ARE REPLACING (UNDER WARRANTY). THE VEHICLE IS A 2017 AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000 MILES ON IT. HOW DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE A RELIABLE, SAFE OPTION. THIS WHOLE THING COULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY. YOU CANNOT BE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN HAVE YOUR CAR STOP RUNNING. CHRYSLER MAY WANT TO DIG A LITTLE FURTHER AND SEE IF IT IS A RECALL ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY MONTH A QUARTER OF OIL NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NYLE MAXWELL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF AUSTIN (13401 RANCH RD 620 N, AUSTIN, TX 78717, (512) 518-1097) WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEALER PUT MORE OIL IN THE VEHICLE BUT NOT SURE IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *LN UPDATED 12/11/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE JERKS AND LUNGES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. AS I AM DRIVING I WILL HEAR A LOUD CLUNK NOISE, WHICH THEN RESULTS IN MY ENGINE STALLING OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE NOTICED IT HAPPENS WHEN I MUST ACCELERATE QUICKLY OR WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL. ON THE PANEL SOON AFTER THE CLUNK A MESSAGE APPEARS STATING THAT THE CAR MUST BE SHIFTED TO PARK IN ORDER TO DRIVE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AS I PURCHASED IT TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY SON. IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NORMAL FOR 2.4L TRANSMISSIONS TO DO THIS, MAIN CAUSE IS LOW OIL. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT STILL HAPPENS AFTER A FRESH OIL CHANGE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT. NO HARSH DRIVING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS ISSUE...

WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. THE FUEL WAS OVER HALF FULL AND OIL WAS WITH NORMAL RANGES (CHECKED BEFORE TRIP). THIS IS THE 5 SUCH INSTANCE OF THIS HAPPENING BETWEEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHTROOM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST COUPLES TIMES DEALERSHIP TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE VISCOSITY OF THE OIL CAUSED IT TO BE LOWER THAN THE CAR READ IT TO BE. AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE. NOTHING ELSE. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH UPHILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS WENT AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON CLERMONT CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE (15859 FL-50, CLERMONT, FL 34711) AND THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. THE OIL WAS TOPPED OFF AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO RETURN FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ALSO, IN JULY 2018, THE OIL PRESSURE AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING UPHILL. FURTHERMORE, ON MARCH 24, 2018, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTAL POWER CONTROL AND TOTAL CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,570.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR MANY TIMES THE CAR STALLS OUT. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A NUMBER TIMES AND THEY STILL YET CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. BEFORE THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS AS WELL AS ACCELERATING ON A HIGHWAY, A MESSAGE POPS UP AND SAYS VEHICLE NOT IN PARK AND THEN JERKS ME FORWARD AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. IT ALSO STALLS GOING UPHILL AS WELL THEN THE DASH MESSAGE APPEARS TO COME ON AND SAYS PARK DISABLED PRESS BREAK PEDAL TO START ENGINE. I AM VERY UPSET AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE CONCERN OF MY OWN SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. *DT UPDATED 10/18/18*JB *BF. UPDATED 11/01/18*JB

MY JEEP HAS ALREADY WENT TO THE SHOP FOR A WEEK BECAUSE IT STALLED 8 TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC WHILE MY FAMILY WAS COMING HOME FROM VACATION. OUR SAFTY IS EXTREMELY JEOPARDIZED BY THIS. THE JEEPS ARE LEMONS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED BEFORE IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED. IT HAS STARTED IT AGAIN NOW! *DT NO VIN AVAILABLE UPDATED 10/18/18*JB

DRIVING AND ENGINE STALLS, THROWS A P00735 CODE, ONLY 15450 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN HAPPENED, IT'S NOT DOING IT AGAIN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN...I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO THEM AND TOLD THE SAME THING.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, IN BETWEEN REGULAR/PROPER OIL CHANGES, I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ON TO A CITY SIDE STREET WHEN MY JEEP STALLED. AFTER TURNING ON MY HAZARDS AND TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT, I PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT. AT THIS TIME THE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON SO I WAITED FOR THE CAR TO COOL AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE DIPSTICK SHOWED NO OIL. I ADDED 2 QUARTS AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. THE GUY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND SUGGESTED THAT THE LAST GUY DID NOT ADD ENOUGH OIL SINCE IT TAKES MORE THAN A NORMAL V4. I THANKED HIM AND WENT ON MY WAY. IMMEDIATELY MY CAR WAS DRIVING BETTER. HERE IT IS 3 MONTHS LATER AND MY CAR BEGINS TO DRIVE ROUGH. SO I CHECK MY OIL AFTER SETTING ALL NIGHT AND I HAVE TO ADD MORE...

VEHICLE CUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, HAS BEEN TAKEN LAKE KEOWEE DODGE FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT CONTINUES TO HAVE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND CUT OFF 5 TIMES IN ONE DAY ON 8\10\18. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS AS OF YET.

ELECTRICAL - MULTIPLE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMPS MAY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN NO MALFUNCTION EXISTS ENGINE - IT LOOSES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 -2000 MILES, NO SIGN OF LEAKS.

TAKATA RECALL. WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN MY JEEP SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS. IT THEN PROCEEDED TO HAVE SURGES. NO LIGHTS CAME ON. IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF BUT WAS STILL ON. A ERROR CAME ON STATING TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION. TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP THAT SAID IT WAS NEEDING AN UPDATE WITH THE COMPUTER. WENT 340 MORE MILES THE NEXT DAY AND IT DONE THE EXACT SAME THING.
