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!
Vehicle was in motion and all of a sudden loss of power, vehicle will not accelerate until you get off accelerator and then it will accelerate when you depress the pedal. Has happened multiple times.
I was jumping ooff my gf car for the 10th time over a course of time, this time for some reason my Jeep caught fire and now is totaled and it also caused her car to catch fire. So not only did it damage my Jeep but damaged her car as well.
Losing oil not getting 25,00 miles between oil changes car stalls and turns off until I get oil changed. Also dashboard alerts for lights out or service warnings but the lights are not out.
Car stopped and totally shut off in the middle of an intersection. Luckily a man stopped and pushed my car. I had to shut it off and restart it. This would have been potentially fatal in a busy intersection.
The engine stalls out at stops and when slowing down on city streets. Then when you try and restart it, starter is slow then finally cranks over. This is the 2017 Jeep Renegade sport 2.4L 2wd. The car has 58K miles on it.
The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact called planet Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (9975 nw 12th St, miami, fl 33172, (305) 470-8000), and informed the dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
Car is parked. It started with right rear door lock not locking with the key fob. We had to manually lock it from the inside. Key fob seems to work with all other locks but now none of the doors are locking. You can hear the locks engaging when pressing the key fob to lock but the doors do not lock at all.
Engine light came on; took vehicle to dealer (have an Chrysler?Jeep factory extended warranty. I was informed that because the oxygen sensor harness was chewed by a rodent (probably a chipmunk) that the warranty would cover repair. I have since out that the sheathing for wires used by the manufacture is made from soybean oil or peanut based oil. I ask is this, my fault or the manufacturers fault? I did not nor would I put rodent food in a vehicle. If rodents chew brake lights, this could cause a fatal crash. The vehicle was stationary parked in my home driveway. I have the repair invoice and the chewed oxygen sensor w/harness.
Engine shut off while vehicle was in motion, creating a dangerous condition due to inability to move car out of traffic. From researching various websites this is not an isolated instance of this dangerous occurrence for this make/model of Jeep which is not being addressed by the manufacturer.
