Sudden stop entrance to an exit ramp. The engine stalled and started leaking the fluid caused some and flames - fire department had to be called.. Had to replace the engine for approx. $6600 We are still waiting on parts for the seat belts this has been over a year with jeep. The parts are backordered. The seatbelts come undone constantly on both the driver and passenger sides. Parts are $330 and labor is approx. $400 total $730. There are 90000 Jeep Wranglers with this same issues but they were recalled. We can't even get the parts it's been over a year. Axle on left side of jeep was broke -took jeep to have serviced for oil and tire rotation. Service person found that the axel was broke. Cost $1500 Service man stated the axel was like a straw.
1st issue was the a/c unit which mechanic said was a factory defective part. Replaced under warranty & now is not working again. 2nd issue is coolant & flushing system. replaced las year & mechanic said it was a factory defective part. This was 2 different mechanics. I just had my car overheat on me again nearly a year later with sludge in the tank AGAIN. I AM PAYONG WAYYYYY TOO MUCH MONEY for this to be on me again! I need repairs done at your cost and a car to drive.
The grounding wire in the wiring harness of the driver's side, rear light assembly has melted. According to owner forums on the internet, there aren umerous reports of this being a problem.

Check engine light and transmission light illuminates for 1-2 days and then goes away. Took to dealership twice. Turned away first time because lights came off. Second time, dealership kept car and did diagnostics. Informed me that nothing was wrong with vehicle, but BCM is faulty and will illuminate when nothing is wrong.
The vehicle instrument panel begins flashing multiple warning lights while driving and subsequently while stopped such as emergency brake on, key fob left the vehicle, fuel engine, TPMS, etc. All of these occur while the vehicle is moving. While coming to a stop the power steering pump also becomes inoperative, the shift indicator (PRND) is blinking, and it is impossible to move the shift lever. The vehicle will not shut off until the battery is disconnected. The problem seems to manifest when ambient air temperature exceeds 80 Fahrenheit and the vehicle has been previously operated.

My 2017 Jeep Renegade has had issues with electrical failures for several years off and on. At times it will state that parking lights, headlights, and brake lights are not working and they really are. The radio will also go very loud then quiet or quit working all together. The air conditioner will stop working randomly and then start again. On another occasion it would not go out of park, the wipers would not shut off, and the windows were not working. It usually always randomly resolves but always occurs again. There is a known recall for the software which causes these exact issues but this VIN is not included. I have video of the malfunctions if needed.
Vehicle started from cold and as I was going to reverse, overheating warning light came on and the engine shut off. Scary, if this would have happened on the road or worse on the freeway I could have caused an accident. After I attempted to start it, and all warning lights came on and shut down again. this happened on 1-13-23. Vehicle had not been driven.
When driving down Interstate 35, my vehicle stalled in the middle of traffic. I was able to coast to the shoulder of the interstate. Once I was out of harms way, I attempted to start my vehicle again; it would start, but at any attempt to put transmission in drive, it would stall. After the vehicle sat for approximately 10 mins, the vehicle started and I continued to my destination with no problems. Two days later, the same thing happened when taking my grandchildren to school. The vehicle stalled in the middle of the road; a Good Samaritan helped me push the vehicle out of the road. Once again, after several attempts to start it, the vehicle would die when trying to put in drive, but after a short time, it started and continued with no problems. Due to multiple electronic, wiring, and unexplainable issues I have had with this vehicle in the past, I began researching issues others had reported to various sites, and it was the first time I had seen an option to report to NHTSA. I had a similar issue in March of last year; my vehicle was at three different shops. The first two could not determine how to fix it. The third shop (after weeks of trying to determine the problem) replaced an ignition coil. It ran good until this incident. This is most definitely a safety concern as it happens unexpectedly with no warning at all.
Notification on dashboard that driver tail light, blinker, and brake lights were not on and need to be serviced. Took the vehicle to dealership. Bulbs were replaced and still not working. Was quoted that the connector and pigtail would need to be replaced with an estimate of $700. It is safety concern to try and switch lanes without a working indicator. There was a software update issued for the electrical system instrument panel ID 17V485000 that had not been completed. This software indicates a malfunction in the warning system lights. The tail light could have not been working before and the indicator light did not light up. All of the is occurred on November 17 2022
Fuse box in engine compartment is melted. Unable to drive vehicle due to comprising other engine parts. Unable to get vehicle fixed due to dealer unable to get part.
The windows on the Jeep Renegades over extend when putting them up, thereby tearing out the top of the housing causing leaks and possible electrical damage in the door panels. This also creates a whistle noise coming through the torn housing when driving. The AC works harder to heat and cool the cabin because of the poor air seal, causing drivers to burn more fuel and stress the components of the vehicle. I called my service department and got quoted me over $800 for two window seal repairs. He also told me that he see this on nearly every Jeep Renegade that comes in for service. This is a problem Jeep should be aware of as it is costing their customers expensive repairs. I purchased this car (2017 Jeep Renegade Latitude 2.4) November 2021 and noticed the problem after the purchase so, this problem was existing prior to my ownership.
The vehicle will go about 80 miles then just completely shut down while driving. It can be restarted but will continue to die unless you turn it off for at least 1 day Very dangerous
Left Rear Brake Light, Blinker and reverse light stopped working simultaneously. Bulbs replaced, so not operating. Found multiple complaints online and discovered the ground to the tail light was burnt and the board and pigtail connector had to be replaced.
