2017 JEEP RENEGADE Wheels Problems

“Swollen lug nuts” a known issue as noted by dealer mechanic. I’ve replaced some or all going on 3 times. If i have flat on interstate i cannot remove and replace a tire. This is a safety concern. .

The component that failed is the wheel lug bolts. The cap of each of the 20 lug bolts is of a metal alloy that expands under normal driving conditions, making it impossible to remove the lug bolts by an ordinary operator in the event of a tire failure. The car dealership identified this problem during tire rotation service and stated that the problem OEM lug bolts are endemic to Jeep vehicles. This was the first instance that I was aware of this problem. The dealership require the consumer to pay for replacements wholly made of steel. MOPAR charges over $11/lug bolt.

I was driving in right lane,40-45MPH, heard a very loud bang (not a tire), front end of jeep lifted UP, then began veering to the right heading off the road. I was unable to break or turn steering. Next thing, I woke up from being knocked out, hit a pole, 3 witnesses heard the bang as well - one witness told police, all 3 air bags went off. Emergency services were summoned. Car totaled. Pole is still standing upright. Fortunately I did not die or get seriously injured. Emergency services said if I had hit the tree next to pole, the outcome of my injuries would have been totally different. Car was towed to auto repair center and they had never seen collision damage such as this. Insurance company notified. Police report made at time of accident.no driver citations. a few days later I contacted jeep company, told them they...

WHEN I STARTED MY JEEP THIS MORNING IT STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SHAKING STOP SO I CHANCED IT TO WORK. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AND WOULD RATTLE A LITTLE. ANYTIME I MADE A TURN IT FELT LIKE THE JEEPS TIRES WERE SLIDING. IT'S TAKING A LOT LONGER TO PICK UP SPEED AND SEEMS TO BE FORCING ITSELF INTO GEAR. IN THE LAST FEW DAYS THOUGH MY LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLICKERING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN THE RADIO WENT OUT FOR A FEW HOURS. THE OUTLETS (OLD CIGARETTE LIGHTER OUTLETS ) STOP WORKING TOO. DON'T KNOW IF IT'S RELATED TO THE REST BUT IT DID ODDLY START IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. *TR
