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.
This Jeep Renegade model have had various problems including rapid oil loss caused by cracks in the oil pump housing, as well as a loss in fuel pressure and I believe I-??m experiencing these problems and there hasn-??t been a recall for me vehicle so Id like to see if it needs to be recalled
Car stalled in the middle of the busy road with no warning when accelerating from a right turn between 12-24 mph and a "low oil pressure sensor" light displayed and disappeared for 3 seconds. Received oil change that day and Valvoline did not mention any concerns about oil level. The next day, my car had been driving for 10+ min and struggled to accelerate out of light, specifically in range of 30-45 mph and the RPMs shot up to 3000. Car kept running but struggled to down shift. Terrified of this happening on my daily interstate and state roads drive, especially in winter!!! Taking to dealership service department to hopefully get this huge safety issue fixed.

Related to recall V54, Engine Cooling Fan abruptly stopped working causing the vehicle to overheat and having to have costly dealer repairs. I was told that my VIN # was not included in the the recall but did experience the exact Issue listed in recall. Replaced Fan not knowing about this recall only to still have engine computer issues now with vehicle related to overheating. Currently at a dealership with a month waiting time to repair.
This car is a lemon and the entire car should be a recall. Shortly after having it I had to replace the tires, brakes, suspension. Then just a couple months ago I had a sediment in the coolant that is very rare and the only time the mechanic experienced that was on recall cars where (not sure if I am saying this correctly) dust is left when they cast the engine in production. And it takes years for it to build up and destroy your car. Now it-??s at jeep in Dade city Fl and they said the engine is bad -?? after spending $950 on the sediment issue. Another $980 a couple weeks ago for battery, spark plugs, computer software update etc. now they want another $700 just to open my engine up and see what-??s wrong. I am done. So as of now I have no car. Jeep only offered me $2k to buy it from me. And I still owe $12k. And I put about $3k into it in the last 5 months. This should be illegal to sell a lemon like this and leave a consumer like me more than $12k out. And from my research. Many others have the same complaint. Something legally should be done about this.
The mysky feature on this particular model along with others vehicle has broke and not working. The main concern for alot of us is the brackets that slide the roof open and close are breaking very easily. There are many Jeep Renegade users that are having the same issues. The Jeep dealership has also said the same that they fix alot of these issues and are not covered. This can also be a safety issue since it is an escape from a vehicle if the doors become unable to open.
There is something wrong with the oil system. My 2017 Jeep Renegade burns through the oil, really bad. At approx 25,000 miles, I took it to the dealership, they ran a test and said I am within specs of burning a quart of oil for every 600 miles. What"? On a brand new vehicle" I have also experienced the vehicle shutting down in the middle of the highway! Dangerous and Scary! I will be driving along and all of a sudden the vehicle just shuts down, it takes a couple attempts to get it restarted. I put in a 1/2-1 quart of oil and it runs again. This shutting off in the middle of the road has been happening since 25,000 miles and I now have 119,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, he depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The contact stated that several minutes later the vehicle accelerated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a faulty throttle pedal sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000.
The component involved involves the oil. My Jeep keeps running out of oil to the point where we have to keep putting more in. A couple times the car has turned off because of this problem. I brought the car to my mechanic only to find out the oil was completely gone. I-??m lucky the motor didn-??t go. I do have the oil changed every 3,000 miles but after only 2000 miles I get the message saying I need an oil change. The car is only 6 years old and only has 36,000 miles on it. I don-??t what is going on but to me it seems there is a leak somewhere. I am afraid to drive it.
My fuel gauge went bad, resulting in me running out of gas when it stated I had over 1/4 tank left. So that $80 tow bill was fun. Also, my coolant temperature light just started coming on today, reaching all the way up to the top and red light when I was idling at stop lights. It would return to middle while driving, then ramp up to the top when idling. By searching the recalls with my VIN, it states I have no recalls to fix. However, after speaking with an FCA Recall Center representative, I was told to take it into a dealership so they could diagnose it as a manufacturing defect. Let me also state I'm not thrilled with this dealership and they have been sneaky in the past, gaslighting me about the excessive oil consumption and blaming me, when it was a recall that they later fixed (James River Jeep, Ozark, Missouri).
Fuel system or engine failure to start vehicle. Malfunctioning, as well as excess oil consumption. Dealerships are neglect to address the issues. There is a recall for the make, model, and year of my vehicle but my VIN was not listed but I believe it should be.
Cooling motor fan is shorted and causing fan fuse to blow therefore causing engine to overheat which can blow it up and cause EXTREME SAFETY ISSUES. There should be an active recall on my vehicle as the cooling fan needs completely replaced and I have looked this problem up and other 2015-2017 Jeep Renegades have had this problem with active recalls.
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.
