  When I am driving the car, it jerks. I have all my maintenance up to par. The dealership can find nothing wrong with it.

• 12/30/2019· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING VERY HARD AT RANDOM TIMES AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME WE HAD IT INSPECTED AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT AT THE SHOP. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AND STARTED TO HEAR OUR VALVES KNOCKING SO WE CHECKED TO OIL. THE OIL WAS TWO QUARTS LOW AND BARELY ON THE DIP STICK. WE WERE ONLY MIDWAY THROUGH OIL CHANGE AND WE ONLY SERVICE OUR CAR AT THE DEALER. WE TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT USING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES IS NORMAL. IT MAY BE NORMAL FOR THIS CAR BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR ANY CAR WE HAVE EVER OWNED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY DID NOT INFORM US AT OIL CHANGES THAT WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE MAINTAINING OUR OIL LEVELS. THIS WOULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE OUR CAR ENGINE TO FAIL AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AS THE ENGINE COULD TURN OFF FROM LACK OF OIL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR JEEP TO KEEP THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT A SECRET BECAUSE THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

• 12/29/2020· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  MY CAR STALLED AND TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS IN MOTION TURNING FROM ONE ROAD ONTO ANOTHER IN JULY 2020 AND AGAIN 2X ON DEC 23RD, 2020 WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IN JULY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" FOR THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF IF THE OIL IS LOW. IT HAD BEEN 4,729 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE DONE BY THE JEEP DEALER WITH SYNTHETIC OIL (WHICH IS GOOD FOR 6,000 MILES). WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHECKED AFTER IT STALLED ON DEC 23RD THE OIL WAS 4 QUARTS LOW! THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR OTHER 2017 JEEP RENEGADES WITH THE 2.4L ENGINE, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL CAR FILED ON JULY 21ST, 2020 FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

• 12/27/2023· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  This Jeep Renegade model have had various problems including rapid oil loss caused by cracks in the oil pump housing, as well as a loss in fuel pressure and I believe I’m experiencing these problems and there hasn’t been a recall for me vehicle so Id like to see if it needs to be recalled

• 12/27/2017· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  WHILE BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT SPECIFIED TO SAFELY ENGAGE MY 4WD LOCK AND SNOW TERRAIN WOULD NOT WORK. ALSO BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE OIL PRESSURE FAIL WARNING LIGHT HAVE TURNED ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE BOTH STATIONARY AND DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STREET. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND HAS CONTINUED TO RELIGHT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT A RECALL HAS BEGAN CALLED T50- INCORRECT SOFTWARE COMBINATION/FMVSS101-2017 JEEP RENEGADE WITH AN ISSUES OF FAULTY CIRCUIT PANELS HAVING MULTIPLE INDICATOR LIGHTS LIGHTING UP DEEMING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE DRIVER WOULD NOT ACTUALLY KNOW WHEN THEY ARE TRUELY AT RISK AND COULD BE INVOKED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY JEEP AS OF YET IS NOT SHOWING UP IN THE RECALL PER MY VIN# YET I AM SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUES AS THE RECALL. MY MANUAL STATES TO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE WHILE THESE INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ON BUT MY DEALER HAS ADVISED ME TO DRIVE IT ANYWAY. THE FEDERAL VEHICLE MOTOR SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 101, 'CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS. ' STATES VEHICLES WITH SAID ISSUES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THEIR REQUIREMENTS.

• 12/26/2023· SEAT BELTS

  The passenger safety belt latch comes undone for no reason. This happens frequently. We always check to make sure it is properly fastened with the clicking sound. While driving, the buckle comes unlatched causing a safety issue. I have taken my Jeep to the Jeep Dealer and they stated there are no recalls on this particular ID and that both safety belt systems will have to be replaced for $700. This is a safety hazard due to a defective safety belt system.

• 12/26/2023· SEAT BELTS

  The contact’s daughter owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, she was notified that the front passenger’s side seat belt was not securely buckled. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, and it was confirmed that the seat belt buckle strap was inoperable. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available and the cost of the repair. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V680000 (Seat Belts). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

• 12/26/2018· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I PURCHASED MY CAR BACK IN MAY OF 2018 AND HAVE NOTICED INCONSISTENCIES WITH MY FUEL CONSUMPTION AS WELL AS A STRANGE KICKING FEELING WHEN DRIVING AT TIMES. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN DECEMBER SHORTLY AFTER GOING IN FOR SOME MAINTENANCE WHICH DETAILED THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. IT SAID THAT THE CURRENT FUEL PUMP MODULE ON THIS CAR IS PRONE TO CAVITATION AND THAT THE SPONTANEOUS LOSS OF FUEL MAY RESULT IN A "SUDDEN LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, WHICH MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING." I CALLED THE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE NOTICE AND WAS AGAIN INFORMED THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE CURRENTLY TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THE CALL CENTER REP ALSO INDICATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS MADE PUBLIC IN OCTOBER. WHEN I ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY TIMEFRAME FOR HOW LONG IT MIGHT TAKE FOR THE NEEDED PART TO MATERIALIZE, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS "NONE AT THIS TIME." I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD PRODUCE CARS WITH SUCH A GLARING PROBLEM THEN NOT OFFER ANY SPECIFIC REMEDIES OR SOLUTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE DRIVING THEM. THEY RECOGNIZE THE PART HAS TO BE REPLACED BUT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A PRIORITY FOR THEM AS THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED A SOLUTION FOR MONTHS NOW. THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE BEEN OFFERED WAS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR SELECT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE FACT. I BELIEVE THAT IS BLATANT IRRESPONSIBILITY ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER AND WOULD LIKE THIS PART MADE AVAILABLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I AM NOW IN A POSITION THAT I CAN NO LONGER RELIABLY TRAVEL IN THE VEHICLE I'M CONTINUING TO PAY FOR. I HOPE YOU WILL SEE MY COMPLAINT AND RESPOND AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. I REALIZE I'M JUST AN AVERAGE CONSUMER BUT I FEEL LIKE MANUFACTURERS HAVE TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR INCIDENTS ALONG THESE LINES. I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB WITH NO EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY.

• 12/26/2017· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE TURNING INTO AN INTERSECTION AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP AND WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER (REEDMAN TOLL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 140 OLD YORK RD, JENKINTOWN, PA 19046). IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION FOR THE VEHICLE WHEN THE OIL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

  DRIVING DOWN I-95 AT A SPEED OF 65 CAR BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHILE IM ACCELERATING, WAS ABLE TO PULL CAR OVER AND ONCE I GOT ON SHOULDER I CUT CAR OFF TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP, CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON AT ALL. HAD TO GET TOWED TO THE DEALER WHICH THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM ONLY FOR THE SAME THING TO BE HAPPENING A MONTH LATER, THE CAR KEEP DOING HARD JERKS AND NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. I CAN BE IN DRIVE AND THE CAR WILL TELL ME IM IN PARK OR JUST SHUT OFF ON ME

• 12/22/2021· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  Shortly after purchasing my vehicle I was informed that one of my lights had “blown out” but upon further inspection the light still works but is very dim due to a black lense. I recently noticed that the other light is starting to turn black also. My mother has a 2017 jeep renegade and one of hers is also having this issue.

• 12/21/2021· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I should have still had gas in my tank according to my dash. I had just pulled into a parking space at a store and my car just stopped running. Ended up getting it towed and checked over all to find out my car was out of gas. If I was driving and this happened it would not have ended good. No lights popped up on my dash. I showed I had plenty of gas still. Since then I have kept it at half a tank or over and each time I fill up it is taking a different amount of fuel. I have no idea what is happening and I have not had the time or money yet to take this in to figure out what is happening. The Jeep only has 55,564 miles on it and I keep up regular maintenance. I have not had any issues since I bought this in April 2021 until now. I have had an older car in my past do this to me and was almost hit by another car because of it. I do not feel this should be happening to a car with this low of miles. I will be taking the car in soon to get inspected more but figured this should be something I should make you aware of.

• 12/21/2018· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  Lose of power when accelerating out of parking lot. This now has happened 3 times with no warning light coming on in the car and vehicle is regularly maintained without issues.

• 12/19/2023· POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

  Car stalled in the middle of the busy road with no warning when accelerating from a right turn between 12-24 mph and a "low oil pressure sensor" light displayed and disappeared for 3 seconds. Received oil change that day and Valvoline did not mention any concerns about oil level. The next day, my car had been driving for 10+ min and struggled to accelerate out of light, specifically in range of 30-45 mph and the RPMs shot up to 3000. Car kept running but struggled to down shift. Terrified of this happening on my daily interstate and state roads drive, especially in winter!!! Taking to dealership service department to hopefully get this huge safety issue fixed.

  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.

• 12/19/2018· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  FUEL PUMP RECALL: MAY CAUSE CAR TO STALL AND RESULT IN A CRASH. EVERY TIME I TURN MY CAR ON, IT IS OVERLY LOUD AND WHEN I'M DRIVING YOU CAN HEAR GUZZLINGN NOISES. NO INSPECTION WAS OFFERED ON MY CAR. MY CAR WAS BOUGHT AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS RECALL WHICH WAS OVER 2 MONTHS AGO. REACHED OUT TO THE FCA AND THEY GOT ME IN CONTACT WITH DEALERSHIPS WHO DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS READILY AVAILABLE AND COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ETA. I INSISTED THAT I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING AROUND A VEHICLE THAT COULD AT ANY TIME CAUSE A CRASH BECAUSE OF A DEFECTED PART. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A ONE IN A MILLION CHANCE THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS NOT THE CASE IF A RECALL WAS ISSUED. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY AND HAD TO CALL BACK TWO DAYS LATER BECAUSE I HAD NOT HEARD BACK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO IN, AND WHEN I WENT IN THE SALES MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE FCA HADN'T RELEASED THE PART FOR A RECALL THAT'S OVER TWO MONTHS OLD AND THEIR HANDS WERE TIED UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. I WAS TOLD THAT IF I TRADED IN THE CAR I WAS LOOKING AT A HUGE NEGATIVE EQUITY I WOULD BE PAYING FOR A CAR I HAD, AGAIN, BOUGHT TWO MONTHS PRIOR. I WAS NOT ADVISED ON THE BUY BACK OPTION, BUT JUST TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY CHANCES UNTIL THE PART CAME IN.

• 12/19/2018· SERVICE BRAKES

  I WAS HEARING A NOISE WHEN I BRAKE SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE THE CAR IS 11 MONTHS OLD WITH 19,152 MILES THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD NEED TO HAVE MY ROTORS AND BRAKES REPLACED. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS MODEL IS KNOWN TO HAVE BRAKE PAD ISSUES WHICH CAUSES THE ROTORS TO HAVE GROOVES. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKES THIS SOON.

  EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2019, MY RENEGADE HAS BEEN STALLING WHEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT STARTED OUT TO BE A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT IT NOW DOES IT EVERY TIME I TURN IT ON AND DRIVE. IT HAS STALLED ON ME WHEN I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY ROADS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS. I NOTICE THAT IT WILL STALL IF I AM TURNING A CORNER OR IF I HAVE JUST STARTED IT UP AND DRIVING OFF WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS BY OTHER 2017 RENEGADE OWNERS BUT I HAVE THE DESERTHAWK EDITION AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING FOR MY MODEL. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF IT AND IT IS ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD. THE STALLING PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING SEEMS TO ONLY BE GETTING WORSE.

• 12/04/2025· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  It began with vehicle warning lights, several, illuminating. They did not illuminate at exactly the same time (such as when a car stalls) they illuminated consecutively i.e Airbag disabled, followed by, blind spot sensors unavailable, front collision, lane departure, power steering temporarily unavailable, park assist, lane departure... all unavailable. Finally, the check engine light. Driving 65 mph until the transmission decided to no longer shift properly, which resulted in driving 45 in an 70 mph zone. Turned off vehicle and restarted, it was fine for 50 miles and began the dashboard light show again, followed by almost stalling at a toll booth. It has been "repaired" 3 times in 3 months, by Chrysler Jeep . Including a new BCM. I believe this 2017 Renegade either was not recalled during the original recall in 2017 or 2018, was not repaired, or was repaired improperly. Everything else operates properly. My vehicle is in great shape. I have video documentation of these things happening. No photos though. I do have documentation from Chrysler Jeep, just not with me at the moment.

  CAR BURNS THROUGH OIL VERY QUICKLY. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED FOR HALF A SECOND AND THEN THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE OIL HAD RUN OUT COMPLETELY UNDER 2000 MILES FROM LAST OIL CHANGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. IF YOU DON'T CONSTANTLY MANUALLY CHECK THE OIL LEVEL, THE CAR CAN JUST SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS CAR BURNS THROUGH OIL EXTREMELY FAST.

IT ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP BUT EXTREMELY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. BROUGHT TO JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO, OIL LIGHT COMES ON REGULARLY NOW WITH LOW OIL. BURNING A LOT OF FUEL. I KNOW FOR A FACT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUES. THEY ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. MY WIFE HAS A RENEGADE AS WELL AND HER'S STALLED OUT ONCE.

I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE TWICE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM WAS OVERLOOKED, I WAS GIVEN AN OIL CHANGE AND SENT ON MY WAY BEING TOLD IT'S "NORMAL" FOR MY 2017 VEHICLE TO BURN OIL. IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN THIS MORNING, SO I WAS FORCED TO ADD TWO QUARTS OF OIL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO GET TO WORK.

WE WERE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND DECIDED TO DRIVE HOME BACK TO EL PASO. TOOK IT TO SUNLAND PARK JEEP THE NEXT DAY. THEY CALLED YESTERDAY AND SAID THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NO ERROR CODES APPEAR. THEY WERE TOLD BY CORPORATE JEEP TO ADD TWO UPDATES TO THE SOFTWARE. THEY DROVE IT ON TRANSMOUNTAIN RD. WHICH IT HAS ALWAYS DRIVEN VERY WELL ON BEFORE, SINCE IT IS NOT AS STEEP AS THE MOUNTAIN WE HAD TROUBLE ON. WE WILL BE PICKING UP THE JEEP TODAY BUT ARE VERY WORRIED SINCE WE FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS TO STALL IN TRAFFIC. WE BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW WITH 12 MILES ON IT FOR OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY AND WE ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE HAVING HER DRIVE IT. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!

  VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS YEAR, MAKE AND ENGINE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE, WHILE HAVING THE SAME SHUT OFF PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IT IS A DANGEROUS ONGOING PROBLEM.

  CAR WILL STALL WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. HAVE TO SHUT DOWN AND PUT IN PARK. THEN WHEN TRY TO RE START THE ENGINE SOUNDS WIERD AND QUIET AND QPPEARS TO CRANK AND CRANK UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTS. THIS HAPPENS ALWAYS SHORTLY AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE. IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS IN A ROW AND NO OCCASIONALLY FOR NO REASON. IT LEAVES ME STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS.*JB
