2018 JEEP RENEGADE Steering Problems

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The primary components that failed in my 2018 Jeep Renegade, equipped with a 2.4L engine, include the electrical system and the fuel pump assembly. The vehicle has randomly reset its electrical equipment by morning and has turned off while driving, which stiffened the steering wheel without warning. These components should be available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and the safety of others were put at significant risk numerous times. The vehicle has randomly turned off while driving, causing the steering wheel to stiffen without any warning. This sudden loss of power and control in traffic is extremely dangerous and could easily lead to accidents. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes,...

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MARCH 2020 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NEW ("A LEFT OVER"). WE THOUGHT IT WAS USED AS A DEMO BY SALES. AS SOON AS I GOT IT THE BRAKES STARTED TO GRIND. THE SALESPERSON TOLD US AFTER SIGNING ALL PAPERWORK THAT SOMETIMES THE EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS SOMETHING WITH THE ROTORS AND IG BURTON IN SYMNRA, DELAWARE ADVISED WITHOUT PROPER REPAIR IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES. NOW WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY CONTROLS THE MILES CHANGED TO KM AND THE HEATING SYSTEM CHANGED AS WELL. WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD WE NOTED THE BRAKES AND WITH THE MILEAGE I SAW IT AS SOON AS I STARTED IT UP.

BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, AFTER ONE MONTH IT STARTED SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. "SHIFT GEAR TO P APPEARED ON MY DASH". I HAD TO TURN ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD TURN ON AGAIN AND OCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. GOT THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND THAT I SHOULD BE CHECKING MY OIL EVERY TIME I GET GAS. SAID ALL I NEEDED WAS AN OIL CHANGE. DID NOT HAVE ANY CONCERN FOR THE DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE I WAS IN ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE VEHICLE LOSES FUEL PRESSURE AND BURNS OIL WHEN THERE IS NO PRESENT OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN DRIVE CAUSING THE WHEEL TO LOCK.

CAR ONLY HAS 4000 MILES ( STILL LIKE NEW). ONCE INCIDENT I HAD WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN I SLOWED DOWN THEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULDNT GO . I HAD TO PULL OVER AND COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK. IVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT DEALER AND SERVICE DEPT, BUT NO CALL BACKS.

MY STALLED 3 TIMES IN 2 WEEKS. TWICE I WAS SLOWING TO TAKE A TURN-THIS HAPPENED A WEEK APART IN THE SAME EXACT TURN. TWICE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH. THIS HAPPENED ON 4-21-19, 4-27-19 AND 4-30-19. I HAVE APPROX 5200 MILES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS, THAT I PROBABLY DO NOT NEED AN OIL CHANGE (SHE CHECKED ON THIS INFORMATION). WHEN THE LIGHT GOES ON OR 7-8,000 MILES I SHOULD SCHEDULE ONE. NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON. EACH TIME I AM ABLE TO GUIDE MY CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. I SHUT OFF RADIO, WIPERS AND ALL ELECTRICAL AND AFTER I HIT TO RESTART IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS REALLY TRYING, BUT IT EVENTUALLY DOES START. I STALLED THIS MORNING (5-1-19) AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AS IT WAS SO SUDDEN. THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE. I PUT ON MY...

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD IN PENSACOLA, FL. THE POWER STEERING LOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL IN PLACE AND IT WAS VERY, VERY HARD TO MOVE. THE HILL ASSIST NEEDS SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND CAME TO A STOP NEAR THE SHOULDER AFTER PULLING HARD THE WHEEL. TURNED OFF THE CAR THEN RESTARTED. NO WARNING LIGHTS AND DROVE AS NORMAL TO MY HOUSE.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN APPROXIMATELY 7 DAYS WHEN I HAVE STARTED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE AND THE POWER STEERING ERROR WILL DISPLAY AND I HAVE 0 POWER STEERING! I DRIVE THIS DAILY ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILD AND I READ A FORUM WHERE SOME PEOPLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING, THIS IS NOT AN OPTION OR A RISK I AM WILLING TO TAKE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON STATE ROUTE 31 IN LAKEPORT, NY. THE POWER STEERING LOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL IN PLACE AND IT WAS IMMOVEABLE. THE HILL ASSIST NEEDS SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO TURN AND CAME TO A STOP NEAR THE SHOULDER AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PULL THE WHEEL.
