I will start this off by saying I've had a few problems with my 2015 Jeep Renegade including A/C problems, power outlets(back seat 110V outlet, cargo outlets & built in flashlight) shutting off after only a few minutes of usage. The blind spot assistance will randomly pop up when driving saying 'blind spot assist is temporarily unavailable' the biggest one being what's happening now which is what I'll explain below but to inform you more I'll include that it had 96K when I got the truck and had always kind of had a jerky feel when shifting between gears which I read was kind of normal, so I didn't put much thought into it until now. My truck was sitting in my driveway for 2 days without being moved and when I went to leave the battery was dead. I hadn't left anything on, lights, radio, ect. It had happened a few times before but I didn't think much of it till now. So after I charge the battery long enough to get the vehicle started it finally fires up but all these messages come across the screen: Check engine, service transmission, blind spot temporarily out of service, passageway entry unavailable, along with a few more. I give it a minute having the truck running to reset these things their selves and most do except a few. The check engine light was still on along with the biggest problem which is the service transmission warning that has the truck stuck in gear; it won't shift out of park. I tried disconnecting the battery terminals for about 20 minutes seeing if the software will reset that way but it didn't help still has the message on the screen. I eventually had to have it towed to a dealership for repair. They've had it 4 days now and I'm still not sure what the problem diagnosis is but am dreading this major issue.

The vehicle has less than 14K miles on it. We have had to replace the O2 sensor. Less than a month later, the wiring harness has melted. Dealership advised that the wiring harness has been updated indicating there was a defect that was corrected. However no recall was issued. Why not if the part was updated to fix a defect?

I stopped at a red light, when the traffic lights turned green I pressed my gas petal but the vehicle started to slow down & wouldn't move, my engine light came up & so did my brake, airbag & park light. I was stuck in park for a couple of minutes, after waiting my car started back to normal, but this problem continues.

While driving a 2015 Jeep Renegade the car shuts off as you are driving. This is not happening while stopped it happens in the middle of the street/road. It has happened with our vehicle at least 3 times, once in an intersection while turning and twice as we were driving. Luckily we were able to push the vehicle out of traffic without being hit or injured. One time vehicle assistance was called, eventually the car was jumped successfully, and driven to repair shop, where nothing could be found wrong. About 4 months later the car shut off in an intersection. About 8 hours later we jumped the car and drove it to the repair shop, where again nothing can be detected. Many other Jeep Renegade owners report the same thing happening while driving and when taken in for repairs no thing can be found. Each time this happens to our car we have had an infant in the car.. we are grateful we were not on the expressway like some other Renegade drivers report. Without finding out and fixing what is truly wrong these intermittent shutoffs will continue to happen.

Vehicle VIN: [xxx], Jeep Renegade, 57000 miles I purchased a Jeep Renegade for my wife at [xxx] in killeen. To make a long story short, the dealership ran into a VIN error that we were told was fixed, but it never was because we remain having issues with insurance. I work in law enforcement and looked up NHTSA documentation that says the dealership should contact the manufacturer upon finding a discrepancy and apparently this was never done. The dealership also told us the Jeep was in a minor accident and we found out the crash was worse than minor, the vehicle has electrical issues and only one key fob. We were promised another key fob made, but have just got the runaround since purchase. The vehicle will not lock sometimes and we are worried it will not unlock during an emergency. The vehicle continually tells us the key fob is not in the vehicle while driving and while stationary. The Jeep also has transmission issues we were never told about. The dealership will not respond to these issues and I need to find someone to help. I have gone up there and spoke to the manager at sales and at parts/service. They told me several times they would call me back after getting my information, but nothing has been done. Dealership location: [xxx] - 5200 E. central Texas expy in killeen 76542, ph.

I am replacing my coolant fan for the third time! I am replacing my day running light for the seventh time. The coolant fan stop running again. This is the third time in less than two years. The light has been replaced several times.

- Reisterstown, MD, USA

I was driving on the highway around 3pm when I attempted to turn on the air and the temperature never adjusted. My coolant indicator turned fully red. My car started smoking and I pulled over and popped the hood to see my antifreeze boiling out of the reservoir. I kept the hood up and waited for it to cool down. The next morning, I drove to my sitter's where I completed my trip and the car started smoking again. Now it's at the shop.

I have been taking my car to the dealership with the same complaint for over 2 yrs. They charge me for things that they say its not under warranty. I pay but car continues the same as I brought it in. I had to call "corporate" so they can get involved and help me, they did and in a way I was punished by keeping the car for a month and when I asked to get it back they kept telling me they are waiting on parts.at one point my granddaughter got sick (lives with me) and I called them I need my car soon my kid is sick and I was told "get an uber". finally after a month I get my car and now is worse than ever. My daughter was driving and car smelled like smoke, all the lights on dashboard started going crazy, the air conditioner went dead and vehicle stopped. I have spent so much money complaining about the same thing and now im without a car again. I need help please. I lost my job and now I had to sell my home due to this pandemic. Im suppose to leave and move to another state this coming weekend and I have no car to leave. How can anyone help me, please.

Vehicle loses permanent power to computer that powers transmission and knocked out computer and the transmission from shifting from drive to park and park to drive rendering the car totally disabled without dealership intervention do to bad connection on the negative battery terminal. This left the car unmovable from travel lane to side of the road in heavy traffic without a tow truck being summoned. At time of incident vehicle would not shift to neutral for removal from highway to safety and placed everyone in danger of high speed collision for the whole entire time that vehicle remained locked down in high capacity, high speed lane of travel.

Stereo/infotainment center shuts off randomly while vehicle is on. When bluetooth is in use while driving, radio turns on when car is off and call is ended.

Vehicle loses all electrical power and stalls intermittently while driving. This happened several times over the last four years of ownership. Not related to extreme temperatures, bumps/vibrations or rain/moisture. Battery was tested and even replaced. It was serviced by dealer the previous episode and was told the software needed updating. Yet here we are again. I have seen other Jeep Renegades with similar issues have a recall for wiring harness. According to mopar this year isn't covered.

The front left daytime running light bulb tits were melted down the dealer said I had to replace entire related wire system. (daylight running and turn signal) this melting on the bulb is abnormal. Possible fire hazard.

In the last two weeks my Jeep has stalled three times. Each time I was able to start the car easily and then start driving once I slowed down to stop sign or to make a right hand turn the engine shut off. In one instance I was able to get my car in neutral and push off to the side of those quickly to stay out of the way. But in another I was impeating traffic and it was very unsafe. I've had difficulty in jumpstarting the engine to move the vehicle.I have replaced the battery and alternator and checking the rest of the electrical system which seems fine but this issue keeps coming up and the car keeps stopping in the middle of traffic.

While driving my radio and headlights will start to surge then immediately after, the steering wheel will jerk out of my hands preventing me from turning the wheel in any direction (locks up). If I don't immediately park the car, the car will shut off on then a bunch of warnings will pop up on the dashboard then dynamic power steering warning with flash. I have to wait 10 minutes at least before being able to restart the car. This has happened every single time I drive the car. This has happened multiple times at red lights, turning into traffic, on the highway going 75mph and/or 30mph.

The headlights were on too long while the engine was off causing a dead battery. No big deal I thought... I jumpstart the car per owners manual instructions (it has a complex battery so even though I've jump started many different vehicles I wanted to make sure there weren't special procedures, it ended up being pretty standard). When it died it was in a garage so I had to manually unlock the gear selector to put the car into neutral to push it into position for a jump connection. I put the car in park and let the battery charge up a while. Once the car charged up enough, it started right up. At this point I thought I was in the clear, that's when the service engine light and service transmission light came on. The engine is running fine, transmission was fine before the battery died. Not only that, but I could not move the vehicle. It was locked into park. I was blocking the road in my neighborhood while I was manually unlocking the gear selector, I finally get the car to shift into drive and tried to accelerate. Only the engine would rev, no movement. Try to reverse, same thing. At this point I couldn't get the car back into park. I push the car back into the garage to get it out of the way and go to turn it off. The Renegade (push button start) will not let you turn the car off in any gear but park. It was stuck in neutral. After struggling more to force it back into park, I finally get it and was able to turn the car off. I'm lucky it didn't get stuck in D or R if it started working! I've never had such an experience jumpstarting a car and this is a huge safety concern. Luckily I was strong enough to push the car back out of the way, otherwise it would be stuck there indefinitely until a tow came. I've read numerous other complaints of this in online forums. Each one said a dealership had to reset the cars computer to make it work again.
