Car is hesitating and bucking, shaking. Engine light came on and stayed on. Engine light flashes intermittently. It is available upon request. i see that some 2017-2018 renegades had an engine recall but it doesn't show up on this web site for this vin. I didn't see a "code" but not sure where i would see that anyway. This began yesterday when we were 80 miles from home. Made it back.
I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The engine needs to be completely replaced due to faulty manufactured engine. It would randomly turn off or stall, or sometimes engine kept turning and wouldn-??t start. The bearings broke off inside the engine and now JEEP is trying NOT to cover it and I can-??t get any help after speaking to 7 diff Case Managers. There has been zero help from them in regards to their liability in this. There is already a class action lawsuit filed, in 2020. It is sad that they are handling clients this way. I was very nice and I work in customer service so I understand what is possible etc. The Jeep mechanic locally, called on my case to verify and tell them that my engine needs to be replaced as a direct correlation of the recalled parts and that they were on back order for months. During those months I tried to have recalled parts replaced and couldn-??t because the parts are on back order. During this time my warranty became invalid, because I exceeded 60,000 miles. I-??m currently at 62,000 miles. At the time I attempted to have recalls fixed I was under 60,000 miles. Secondly the warranty expires In 2022. Regardless, the recalls caused the engine needing to be replaced. Please advise what my options are to ensure I don-??t have to pay to replace the whole engine. Thank you

The car only has 23k miles and the engine cooling fan has ceased to work. I had to stop on the side of the road for over an hour when I noticed the coolant temperature rising to dangerous levels. Jeep issued a recall for this part on Renegades but my VIN was not included in the recall for some reason even though it was obviously affected.

We brought the car for the second appointment to complete the mopar W80 recall which was supposed to be done after 1500 miles from the first service. The tech TJ from Autonation Chrysler, Jeep Ram in Katy Texas told me on 07/28/21 that our car was the first car that had come up that was consuming oil and that he thought the engine needed to be replaced. He said the request had been sent to mopar for approval. On 07/29/21 he called and stated that mopar had instructed that since we went 400 miles above the 1500 miles required for the second appointment, that we needed to drive it for another 1500 miles and bring it back. The tech confirmed the engine is consuming oil, we are told we are past 400 miles but asked to go another 1500 miles before the issue is addressed. This places my family and my daughter who drives this car at risk. Hope you can help address the situation.

The 2.4 liter Tiger Shark Engine, burns one quart of oil every 1000 miles. Mine has only 32800 miles on it. Jeep sent me a email telling me about this. It affects 2015 thru 2020 year models with is engine.
Engine stalled. Restarted after fifteen minutes then quickly stalled again. Restarted again after thirty minutes (and continued operating as we turned around to return home. We were on the shoulder in heavy traffic on I-70 east of Loveland Pass in Colorado with light trailer in tow, Dealer reports it could not reproduce the problem. Vehicle was inspected by dealer service department. No symptoms or warning lamps came on prior to stalling. Engine temperature gauge was in normal range. Fuel level was between quarter and half tank. So, no warning beforehand.
Its running real rough and has been stalling out. Also my oil change light has been coming on more than its should be. Also the check engine light is on all the time now. I had the ignition starter sensor replaced as well. 3 weeks ago N now everything is going wrong with it once again.
Transmission seems like its slipping when driving. Car jerks forward.. lurging forward.. I had a car that had transmission problems so im aware of how car acts when its transmission problem. Also electrical problem. Car sound when music is playing jumps from all speakers sound coming out to just one speaker the passenger side speaker in front..
The car decides when it wants to start and start. The car will shut off and lock up while driving and has put me in multiple dangerous situations. The check engine light turns on with the airbag light when it will not start. When it finally decides to start there is no cel on. Also, the bottom fog light went out due to faulty design and gasketing.
Three times now the vehicle has simply died while being driven. No warning lights or sensors; just stopped running. All three times the vehicle had just been started, idled for a couple of minutes, and then died within three minutes of being put in motion on a city street while driving straight ahead at speeds between 15-30 mph.
While driving I could hear the vehicle running very loud and then it would get quiet. The service engine light came on. Then when I exited the vehicle I felt the hood which was very hot and while driving I was watching the coolant level which would fluctuate very high and then go low.
Engine stalls out when driving and at slow turns also low oil light comes on even though oil is up to date. Very unsafe when dropping kids off at school.
