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.
Airbag service is on and don't know what caused it. There has been no damage to my vehicle. The engine is using up a lot of oil in a very short amount of time. 2000 miles after my oil change I discovered that my engine has no oil left in it and my gas is being depleted at a very fast rate
Cooling fan failure. Fuse blew on fan and led to rapid spike in coolant temperature. Led to P0481 check engine light code. Replaced blown fan fuse but fan cycles on and off and seems to be wobbling or have bearing problems. Based on searches, this is a common problem on the Jeep Renegade but Chrysler has not issued a recall for 2017 years.
Low oil pressure light flashed on. Checked oil when got home and it was 2.5 quarts low. Had the oil changed 5,000 miles ago. It only has 16,000 miles on the vehicle. Previous oil change showed over a quart low as well.
This is related to NHTSA recall 18V731000. Temperatures have been high in August and the vehicle sputters while in park, in drive, in motion, at red lights, while accelerating, while decelerating or simply cruising at steady rate in town or highway speeds. It has been consistent for two to three tank fills of gas (mid and premium grade). The air filter was recently replaced and looks normal. We discovered the recall mentioned above and the symptoms certainly seem similar.

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.

This 2.4L multi-air engine consumes excessive amounts of oil. There is no "low pressure" indication unless the motor is a couple quarts low and hard cornering or stopping, and in those circumstances the engine stalls out. This first occurred a couple of months after purchase, the dealership gave me a tsb printout recommending I keep a quart of oil on hand. Since then every oil change I have been low and I've added about one quart per thousand miles like the tsb indicates but it is starting to consume it worse. When I purchased this vehicle I was told that oil changes were substantially further apart and the vehicle would let me know when to do so, yet there is no indication that I am low or out. I am afraid it is going to blow the engine on this vehicle. See attachment testimony is more than 2,000 characters.
Every time I turn my vehicle on and the A/C unit is on my car begins to make a squealing sound. This happens when I'm at a stop light or idling and I have my air conditioner on.
Extreme oil consumption, which can cause the oil to go unusually low, causing stalls at speed. After some online researching, this appears to be a larger issue that Jeep has not yet acknowledged. I had my oil changed at the dealership on 4/20/19, and I've gone just about 3K miles since then. I started stalling while driving, and checked the oil, and it was pretty much bone dry. 5.5 quarts of oil gone in 3 months/3K miles (note - the Jeep recommended interval is: "based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in the instrument cluster", in other words, there is no recommended interval for normal driving, you are to rely on the oil change indicator light to alert you. For "severe duty", I.e.: the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road environment or is operated predominately at idle or only very low engine RPM's, Jeep recommends oil changes at 4K miles. This is the 2nd time I have experienced this issue with this vehicle. The first time, after some scary stalls (at speed, the vehicle loses all power and needs to be restarted, and the change oil indicator comes on), I brought it in for service, and was told that I just must've burned through a lot. Now I know that is not the case. Other than being an inconvenience (having to constantly check oil on a two year old vehicle), this is a safety issue. The vehicle just stalls out, dies, and the indicator light comes on. At speed, this could be deadly. From researching online, I found that you need to ask for an oil consumption test at the dealership. Many are getting engines replaced as a result. I am going to schedule another appointment with the dealer and see what they can find.
We have our oil changed regularly at the same place as soon as the oil change light comes on or we meet the mileage listed on the last oil change sticker, whichever comes first. We had the oil changed May 14, 2019 and drove maybe 2500 miles since that date. Lastnight my husband and kids were in the car suddenly it stalled and the low oil pressure light came on. The unit then was fine and started back up with no issues, then this morning the same thing. He called the dealer we got it at and they got it in right away. Said it was showing very little oil, but no visible leaks. Im sorry I understand wanting to save an engine but what about lives if it stalls and causes an accident. Also if the oil is that low, why did the oil change light not come on. To me this showing numerous reports and issues and nothing is being done. Why Chrysler. Is it going to take a death and law suit for you to care about your consumers and their safety"!" im thinking about contacting a lawyer as now my kids are afraid to ride in the vehicle.
Vehicle has stalled numerous times in traffic. "low oil pressure" will come on briefly and then engine fails. Sometimes while turning if vehicle does not come to complete stop. Vehicle is burning through oil all though no leaks are detected or visible even after oil has been changed.
Fuel pump module: Issues addressed by recall remain unresolved. Was told by dealer that there was a part available, then had our appointment cancelled because they had run out. Driving the car with this issue is dangerous as the car tends to stall when accelerating onto a highway or when making a turn. We have barely avoided accidents on several occasions due to stalling, including one with a semi-truck. Engine: Hard idle when cold. Engine rattles loudly. Power train: When car is accelerated to 30 mph range, it "hiccups" or jerks when accelerator is pressed. We have taken the car in for this issue numerous times, but every time we are told that the "computer isn't picking anything up" and problem remains unresolved.
Cooling fan went out some electrical power outlets weren't working oil change signal light won't reset when making turns car skids and the 4X4 control kicks in vehicle is shaking, engine problem

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.
Was driving on the freeway at 70mph when the car suddenly lost power. Thankfully I was able to get to an exit and pulled over safely. Car would start back up, but sputter and die. Let it sit for 10 minutes and was able to get it started and drive away, 5 minutes later, car dies again. Same problem, sputtering, no power. Called Jeep and was towed to dealership.
The check engine light has come on in my vehicle twice. When the light comes on, the vehicle jerks when applying the breaks. The car has been looked at twice by the dealer. The dealer said in both instances that this was the result of a bad ignition coil. The ignition coil was replaced each time. The issue is now presenting itself a third time, but the check engine light has not come on. I believe this vehicle may have been missed in the recent recall for the engine issues.
