Manual trans 1.4L. For approximately the last year, I've gotten an intermittent 'service electric parking brake' message. I never had it looked at, I disconnected the battery and then it would go away. Also the car completely stopped turning off from accessory power mode. I couldn't just roll down the windows, I had to crank the car or the power wouldn't turn back off. Recently had check engine light with code P0807 'clutch position sensor circuit 1 low' showing. The next day, car was difficult to start. It took several tries pushing the start button and messing with clutch before it would turn over. I took it to a shop (not dealer) and they couldn't find anything or replicate the codes and told me it was a glitch. Next day I get the epb light again and used my code reader and it was showing P0807 and ABS code C1220-86. So I located said switch and unplugged it, and boom. All the problem codes popped up again and I was able to turn the car off like normal. I removed the sensor and opened the cover on it. The carbon film inside was missing a section. Tested with a meter and the sensor lost voltage when sweep arm inside reached the broken spot. This is a problem that could leave you stranded somewhere if you didn't have the tools to reach and jump out this sensor. And of course clutch parts are not covered by warranty. Even though this is an obvious factory defect seeing as it's on the inside of a sensor that I couldn't reach without removing the panel under the steering wheel.
Vehicle will stall out when driving, going less than 40 miles per hour. System does not shut down. Does not seem to be a battery or electrical issue. Had this happen 3 times in a month. Pulled over into park & had to restart the car. Low oil pressure light came on. Took in for a routine oil change. Mechanic referred me to dealership as they could only determine a low oil consumption/ pressure. Terrible knocking sound in front as well. Very concerned as other Jeep have been recalled for similar issues, but my 2017 Renegade latitude is not under the recall. Huge safety concern.
Complaint crashno fireno injuries0 deaths0 my vehicle is due for an oil change February 11. Many 2017 Jeep Renegades have had a recall issued on them for the vehicle stalling while driving. Car completely stalled and locked up. Brought it to have oil checked and it was not the problem. They also checked battery and alternator which are fine. This is very concerning and have heard this with other Jeep.. car was driving when suddenly and unexpectedly came to a complete halt and on the other occasion it occurred at a stop. The vehicle completely stalled and shutdown.

When turning left from a cold start vehicle stalls and shuts off. It says it needs to shift, but it is already in drive. You must shut the vehicle off and attempt to start it sometimes it takes five minutes for it to start. Now it says there are issues with the lights, like they are out but they are actually working. No work has been done on it before. Currently at the dealership. Have video.
I have tried to get in contact with someone to get my fuel pump fixed. I finally did today. But can't get in until nexta Friday. My car has stopped working completely while driving. I have had to wreck into mailboxes stop in the middle of the road, and almost be hit because my car stops working. I can't wait any longer. My car is a danger
My vehicle display message 'vehicle not in park' while driving anywhere at various speeds. Once msg display, vehicle loses powers. This has happen while driving on freeway. It is intermittent issue. I have open numerous case with Chrysler / fca but because dealer is not able to duplicate they won't repair. I read on internet there is defect in engine. Also vehicle displays service passive entry system. They reset software and issue returns.
The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to healey Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram (557 NY-52, beacon, NY 12508; (845) 831-1148) and was informed that the oxygen sensor was damaged due to rodents. The part was replaced. The contact stated that after researching the issue, the contact found that it was common for the vehicle to suffer rodent damage due to soy bean oil being included in manufacturing ofthe wiring harness which attracted the rodents. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
I was driving my car as an automatic not shifting it. All of a sudden the info section says down shift as I was turning, I was in motion the whole time, I did not stop to turn. And it dies. Right in the road while driving. I have looked and my VIN doesnt come up as a recall but this oh my god I was lucky I was on a back road to be ok, if I had been on a busy road or interstate my family and I would be dead. What is wrong with it. I need this fixed asap. This is my only means of transportation. Help me!!!!!!!
Indicator lamp illuminating say that all my lights head lights, turn signals, back up light break lights and turn signals are all out, while driving down the street. I have video and photos but they are to big to upload and do not know how to make them smaller. I see there is a recall for this exact thing but not for my VIN number
This doesn't matter if my vehicle is turned on or off. When stationary the Jeep Renegade will not lock or unlock from the key fob. Previously the key fob would work but I would have to repeatedly push the lock/unlock button. I have replaced the battery on the key fobs to no better results.
Malfunction indicator lights come on indicating multiple failures at same time. Will usually reset after I turn off engine. My understanding is there is already an active recall for this issue but my VIN is not covered. When the indicator lights go on, I am driving, once in a parking lot, once on a city street, and once on the freeway.
The engine ignition coils had gone bad, causing the car to break down while running errands in town during this covid situation. The car only had about 38,000 miles on it and I'm the original owner. I was able to get it into a dealer same day & they replaced a coil & spark plug- getting the car back on the road. They also replaced the stereo due to electrical problems. This cost was partially covered through my Toyota care warranty. Other problems:the transmission also has trouble finding the right gear when accelerating & often jerks or stalls. There is also a vibration/ rattle sound coming from the engine compartment in front of the passenger side. My dealership doesn't want to help figure out the other problems, if the car is operating. They are clearly too busy to invest the necessary time & probably are receiving multiple complaints like mine. And I just read an article about fca are considering a full recall of the 2.4 tiger shark models. Very disappointed in Jeep quality and service.
Within 6 months of purchasing new car, the computer needed to be replaced in dash-uses 1 qt. Oil every 2000 miles.ive complained and complained to no avail-dealerships all say its 'normal' now.the transmission is slipping.-when U go from a low speed to a higher speed. I took it to dealership and they think it needed an update ?also, oil was leaking around transfer case;I noticed spots on concrete when parked and the liquid was clear. This car has literally been a hunk of junk!
