This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I made a right hand turn and my vehicle just stopped. Engine was still on but just quit moving I pressed the gas but no response. I turned the ignition of and back on and it started but then an service air bag warning came up on the dash. I can't believe an air bag warning would make the vehicle stop in traffic with no warning and no control.
Instrumentation lights flicker while driving on any roadway under any conditions. Flashed taillight failure when no problem existed while driving on state roadway under normal conditions.
While turning oil light comes on and car died while driving in city traffic. Oil is checked and changed regularly by Jeep recommendations. 2 weeks later dash light (P)! when car was stationary. Book says electronic park brake fail.
My check engine light came on and my engine started overheating. The radiator cooling fan just stopped working for no reason. It also blew out the relay amd fuse. I was told that this is out of warranty and a new fan assembly needs to be installed. The Jeep is only two years old and has 39,232 miles on it. After researching this is I find out that at least 66 other 2017 Jeep remegade owners have had their radiator fans go out at 40,000 miles. This isn't an isolated issue and the part has to be recalled. Chrystler and Jeep are unhelpful and unwilling to admit to the problem.
Vehicle has stalled twice now. Once on a mountain road around a danger curb and also on a highway. Luckily, both times was able to pull to side of the road. 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 feel like Jeep is not taking this seriously. Someone will get killed if this keeps happening.
I've noticed over the past few weeks my Jeep seems hesitant shifting gears, especially going from reverse to drive. This is an automatic transmission. Last week, after backing put of the driveway and starting down the road, the vehicle stalled and read "park vehicle to shift". I had to stop in the middle of the road, and turn the car off twice and restart it in order to get her going again. Luckily, as embarrassing as it was, the vehicles waiting on me were very polite and patient. This happened again yesterday evening. I backed out of my parking spot and turned onto the road. The vehicle stalled out and read "park vehicle to shift". I again turned the car off and went to turn it on. She sputtered and sputtered and the ect light popped up on the dash before she finally turned over and the light went away. I was going out of town that night and I was a little nervous about getting stranded. I did make it back home, but the next morning, she did the same thing. I made it down the street this time and she stalled out while I was stopped at the stop sign before turning 9nto a 4 lane highway. Good thing she stalled out before I had pulled onto the highway. I followed suit and had to restart her once or twice and she sputtered and sputter which just broke my heart. My fuel was low this morning and we limped over to the gas station, she was shifting weird the entire time. I didn't turn her off because I was afraid she may not have turned back on. After getting gas, she started to run more smooth but she still hesitates to shift.
I have had my car just under 2 year, purchased new. When purchasing the car I asked if they would install a remote start and was told to just take it to car toys. We did almost a year later. We are at 1 yr 10 mths and just over 26,00 miles. Just recently the car stated stalling in the middle of traffic. I would have to put it in park to be able to start going again and then it lags to get going and quits shifting. The check engine light comes on and stays on. Sometimes it flashes though several errors, too fast to read them all. I have had the car in to the original dealer 3 times and another dealer once. I was told it needed a computer update, the wiring harness needed fixed and other things. They said it was fixed the first3 times. This last time they are telling me it is the after market starter, they think. They cannot guarantee it will fix the problem but now they are saying nothing is under warranty. The after market starter has been on there 11 months without issue. The first time this happened was 9/26.19. The current date is 11/13/19. This is a safety issue. Most times I have small children but have been luck to be by myself each time the car has stalled.
Car loses power while driving. This has happened 5 times withing 48 hours. One incident I was driving 60 mph on highway and the car lost power and I almost got rear ended by a truck. Also oil pressure light came on twice for a second while turning corners and then went off. I had my oil changed and is not over miles. I am not sure if these two issues are linked,
During various instances after starting the car in a stationary mode, the instrument panel gave warning of various lighting systems not working in random succession. Right turn signal, left turn signal, parking light out, daytime running light out. This will go on for 30 seconds or more before it corrects itself. I also have had multiple experiences while in motion the warning safety lights/signals on the side mirrors become temporarily unavailable for no reason.
The 2017 wont turn off after you turned on and all the panel light malfunction. The car only turn off if I unplug the battery. According with the warranty of the car passed state law and it cant be replace which I think is crazy since any malfunction can happen and cause an accident. Also the Jeep wont turn off. The dealer doesnt know hot to fixed since no code is giving. I am afraid of using the car for my own safety and family, and all I want is a replacement.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact was unable to start the vehicle. The vehicle was jumpstarted, but once the cables were removed, the engine would run for a minute and shut off. In addition, the power steering, brake, air bag, and ebd warning indicators illuminated. An independent mechanic came to the contact's residence, but was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact changed the battery, but the failure recurred. The contact called mike smith Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (located at 1945 I-10, beaumont, tx 77701, (409) 840-3560) and informed them of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
Engine cooling fan was replaced at 50 thousand miles, codes show that that is malfunctioning the transmission threw codes dead battery. It locks up and doesn't want to start even after replacing the battery.their was two different sensors that threw a code. I've gotten a message to service the airbags.on everything I have told you the car was sitting still. Except on the transmission, when it goes from 3rd gear to passing gear it shifts really hard. And it feels like it's going to stall out. I maintain regular oil changes.average of 1 per month. It's been well taken care of. At 50 thousand miles it started having a lot of little things go wrong. I feel like I bought a lemon and no one is willing to admit it.
The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. On several occasions, while attempting to start the vehicle, the push to start button was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to start. Additionally, on several occasions and while driving various speeds, a warning indicator illuminated suggested that the gear shift lever be shifted to the park position before shifting into a drive gear. The vehicle was taken to coughlin marysville Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (located at 15777 watkins rd, marysville, oh 43040, (937) 246-5386) where it was diagnosed that the failure may be due to the type of fuel and that the vehicle was two quarts low on engine oil. The dealer also stated that the fuel suction door was misaligned. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failures recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
I have had to take in my vehicle to our dealership twice within 2 months on the same issue. The car has been sputtering at idle and also when accelerating. When the car is traveling in between 25-30mph the transmission gets a hard kick, it almost feels as if you are getting hit from behind. They have replaced the throttle body, ignition coil, spark plug wires, and spark plugs. The vehicle is under 32,000 miles and is mostly driven in town, I feel it is unsafe to drive out of town because it shakes violently when traveling at 65mph or higher.
First breakdown check engine light and air bags light came on then the engine locked up and I could not switch gears and could not accelerate. Second break down emergency break locked up and would not release and check engine light and check airbags came on again. Third breakdown emergency break locked up and would not release again and the check engine light and air bags light came on again and could not switch gears. Fourth breakdown would not start had to be towed turns out battery needed to be replaced. Fifth breakdown engine stalled had to pull over and restart the car. Sixth breakdown remote start the car did not start up and then would not start manually. Seventh breakdown engine stalled again had to be towed would not start backup. 8th breakdown Jeep was shifting really hard took to delaership now has to have transmission replaced. This car is a year and a half old and has had all these problems I just found out that Jeep that are 2017 and 2018 have recalls this vehicle has the electrical problem and the boby is falling apart. All of this has affected the gas mileage. All these break down were city streets and highway.
Vehicle in motion, pull out of parking lot at low speed malfunction indicators lights indicated loss of turn signals and brake lights, stopped at gas station to check lights refueled upon starting vehicle no malfunctions were indicated.
