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.
I was driving and all of a sudden the -??Service Transmission-?? light came on and my car would not go past the first gear. The light went off and my car went back to normal. It has been doing this on and off for about 4 days. I took it to Landers Chrysler Jeep and Dodge of Norman Oklahoma and they did a diagnostic. They said it needs a software update but they refused to fix it. I took it to a mechanic and they stated that there is nothing mechanically wrong with the transmission, it is completely software related.
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.
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.
My 2017 Jeep Renegade limited with under 24k miles sky view stopped working. While attempting to close the sky view the process was sluggish, and struggled to close. I brought the vehicle to Princeton ChryslerJeep dealership om 5/3/23 where I purchased. I was instructed that they would assess the situation for $163 dollars and that would be applied to the repair. Much to my surprise I was instructed that the diagnostic test preformed found it was the motor component in the sky view that needed to be replaced. The dealership noted that the whole sky view needed to be replaced at an outside body shop for 6,500 dollars. The design would not allow a component to be replaced for repair. So the total cost would literally be 1/3 value of the car due to inferior design and no fault of the owner. My concern is why this is not covered when it was cleary a faulty design. and why was I charged 163 dollars for a 3 minute diagnostic test when obviously the dealer new of other issues jeep experienced with the sky view. (multiple complains on line. No warnings or symptoms leading up to sky view issue. Also took my jeep to dealer for regular oil change and maintence

The vehicle has stalled on multiple occasions (thankfully not on the highway). I have noticed it burns oil and I always have to carry extra oil bottles with me. Once it stalls, I know I have to put in more oil. My safety and others have been put on risk because the car randomly stalls and stops in the middle of the road, making it possible and high risk for accident where myself and others could be injured. No. No. No.

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.
I was driving and the car was just gliding down the road as if it wasn-??t on. Had hard time getting to side of the road. Tried shutting off wouldn-??t work. Finally did. Got it started again went right home. Husband checked oil and there was nothing in it. Oil light never came on. No oil on ground
While accelerating at a certain speed and letting go of the pedal the vehicle stalls causing a loud cluck sound depending of the speed of the acceleration. I am not sure if this issue will cause the vehicle to break down or cause other problems in the near future. In the beginning of November 2022, the drivers side has been making clunking noises when ever I reverse and while slowly taking from. It is Nov 25, and I have been told is the struts that have signs of defective because of the tires wearing down from the inner side. Also, I was told by a different mechanic the motor mount may be loose, and now the wheel bearing. I've replaced the wheel bearing on the driver's side and the noise has not completely left but the replacement helped. I am hoping the struts make the difference along with swapping to street tires.
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
I was driving at highway speeds on I40 going through New Mexico up a hill with outside temperatures around 100degrees F when the car stopped accelerating. My speed continued decreasing despite me pushing the gas pedal. The engine stalled, the transmission and engine lights appeared on the display. I was able to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road at which point it would start but wouldn-??t drive for more than 10-20 seconds without stalling. At one point the car was going in Reverse despite being shifted in D. This happened one other time a couple years ago while driving outside of Estes Park and the Jeep was taken to a local dealer and then to the dealer I purchased from and they were unable to replicate the issue or find a code. They replaced the shifter assembly. I hadn-??t driven it in high heat and elevation again until recently.
The hose that holds the widow wiper fluid is made of cheap plastic and has cracked and leaks badly on the drivers side of the passengers section. I found a YouTube video wher the exact same thing happened to someone else car. Same model same problem and can cause other water damage. I have a video.
My car is stalling as I drive. It is completely shutting off. I had recall w84 performed. The problem is believed to be the recall UB2. This has been confirmed by a dealer. I am afraid for my life and believe that this defect will likely cause a crash.
I have experienced innumerable incidents where my car jolts while I am driving. I have had passengers describe it as if the engine is stalling for a second or the transmission is failing and then instantly recovering. The best I can describe the feeling is as if the car hiccups. It occurs at least once a week, sometimes multiple times a day. It is intermittent and unpredictable. It has occurred at a variety of speeds, on surface street, freeways, etc. Also at varying temperatures throughout the day. I believe it only occurs during acceleration, not while breaking. I bought the car new and have taken it into the Jeep dealership but they did not find anything because the issue did not occur on their test drive. A few weeks ago, my engine was replaced due to a separate recall and I had hoped that it would simultaneously fix this problem but it has continued to happen, if not at the same rate then more frequently. As of yet, there have been no accidents caused by it but it makes me feel uneasy and distrustful of my vehicle. I fear for my safety and those around me if the issue worsens.
