2015 Jeep Renegade complaints

IN MY DRIVEWAY. I LOVE BEHIND MY MOM AND WHEN I STOP TO TALK WITH WHILE SHE IS IN THE YARD AND LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON AND STOPS ME. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHTS OR JUST STUCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION EITHER JERKS REAL HARD OR MAKES THE CAR FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. COOLING FAN HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WHEN THE VEHICLE WASN'T 2 YRS OLD.

43,XXX MILES AND MY COOLING FAN HAS FAILED.

COOLING FAN MAKING LOUD NOISES AND VIBRATIONS, WHILE TAKING CAR INTO DRIVE FROM BEING STOPPED IT ACCELERATES WITHOUT HITTING GAS.

MY CAR STARTED RUNNING HOT WHILE ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO AUTO MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAS LOCKED UP. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 60,000 MILES, 3 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS PROBLEM IF I WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. PLEASE RECALL VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT SEEMS VERY COMMON.

BRAKES, PADS AND ROTORS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT 57K OIL CHANGE/TIRE ROTATION, MULTIPOINT INSPECTION AT JEEP DEALERSHIP. AT 63K RIGHT FRONT BRAKE PAD, SHOE & ROTOR COMPLETELY WORN, ROTOR DAMAGED, ALL BEYOND USE, AND REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. LEFT FRONT BRAKE PAD, AND SHOE ARE NOT WORN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE FROM THE OTHER WHEEL, NEED REPLACED. SCREECHING SOUND WHEN LETTING OFF THE BRAKE CONTINUES AFTER BOTH SETS OF FRONT BRAKE PADS, SHOES, & ROTORS ARE REPLACED. FAN ASSEMBLY IS LOSE AND HITTING OTHER COMPONENTS, UNFIXABLE. FAN HAS TO BE REPLACED. . VEHICLE TOP AND INTERIOR BEGAN CREAKING AT 50-60K MILES AS IF UNEVENLY SUPPORTED BY SHOCKS/CV JOINTS/SOMETHING WITHIN THE BRAKE/AXLE/STRUT/SHINE/CV/BALL JOINTS. POPPING NOISE COMES FROM EXTERIOR FRONT WHEN STARTING OUT. LETTING OF THE BRAKES FROM AFTER A STOP OR AFTER BEING PARKED MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AS IF CREAKING UNDER PRESSURE. ALSO ENGINE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ON, THERMOSTAT ERROR BUT NOT CONSISTENT OR ABLE TO BE RECTIFIED BY DEALERSHIP. CABIN TEMPERATURE, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, AND THERMOSTAT FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. ISSUE REMAINS U RESOLVED. HARSH BRAKING IS A SECURITY CONCERN.

RADIATOR COOLING FAN MAKING NOISE, GETTING STUCK. MY CAR STALLED AND LOST POWER CAUSING TO DECELERATE.

THE EMERGENCY KEY BLADE FALLS OUT OF THE KEY FOB. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAULT FOR OVER USE BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED WITH MY SECOND KEY FOB THAT I PULLED THE BLADE FROM ONLY ONCE FELL OUT AND WAS LOST AFTER ONE MONTH OF USE. VERY POOP DESIGN. THE FIRST TIME I FOUND THE BLADE IN MY POCKET, THE NEXT TIME IT FELL OUT I WASN'T SO LUCKY. NOW I HAVE TWO FOBS WITH NO KEYS

THE RENEGADE TURN OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THIS YEAR. THATS MAKE A DISCONTROL IN THE TRANSMISSION.

THE VEHICLE TURN OFF AGAIN (SECOND TIME) WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THATS MAKE A DISCONTROL IN THE TRANSMISSION AND I CANT TURN ON THE VEHICLE. I WENT TODAY 06/09/2018 TO A JEEP DEALER IN PUERTO RICO ANS THEY SAID THE JEEP IS OK. EVERYTHING IS OK.

THIRD TIME MY RENEGADE TURN OFF WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT THE HIGHWAY. THAT MAKES A DISCONTROL IN THE TRANSMISSION. I TURNED THE RIGHT TO STOP HARDLY. THEN IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES I CAN TURN ON THE RENEGADE.

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR BROKEN INTO PIECES ON ONE TIRE

CHECK ENGINE ERROR P0481, COOLING SYSTEM NOT WORKING, THERMOSTAT TEMP INCREASE WHEN IDLE

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON,MY A/C BLOWS HOT AIR AND ON 5/22/2018 MY ELECTRIC E BREAK LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING! IN THE PARK WHERE I LIVE.

THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN MALFUNCTIONED AFTER JUST 50,000 MILES. VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. JEEP WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY AS THEY SAY IT ISN'T PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR DATABASE I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. FAILURE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND COULD RESULT IN A BLOWN MOTOR AND/OR OTHER DAMAGES RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT'S TIME THAT THE NHTSA ACTS FOR THE CONSUMER AND FORCES JEEP TO A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE FAN. NORMAL LIFE EXPECTANCY OF ELECTRIC FANS IS WELL OVER 5 YEARS/100,000 MILES. THIS PARTICULAR FAN IS, IN MOST CASES, NOT EVEN LASTING HALF THAT TIME. THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT JEEP RAN OUT OF THEM AND HAD/HAS LONG WAIT TIMES. DURING THIS PERIOD THE VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE. THIS IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR SUCH A NEWER MODEL VEHICLE.

AMONG OTHER ISSUES, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES TO ME, AND ALL APPEAR TO OCCUR WHILE MAKING TURNS AT LOW-MODERATE SPEED (<30MPH); THIS IS THE ONLY CONSISTENT FACTOR WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OUT (DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY WEATHER OR DRIVE/RUN TIME). THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED AROUND 30K MILES - THE ENGINE LOST POWER WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON LOCAL STREETS. VEHICLE'S DISPLAY FLASHED A NUMBER OF WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE INDICATING "VEHICLE NOT IN SHIFT TO PARK." ELECTRICAL SYSTEM APPEARED FULLY FUNCTIONAL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED MY CAR AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING REMAINED. THE NEXT RESTART REMOVED THE ETC WARNING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS REMOVED AFTER 4 RESTARTS (WITH REGULAR DRIVING). I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY UPDATED A MODULE AND I HAD TO PAY TO CLEAN THE ETC SENSOR (IT WAS ALLEGEDLY "STICKY" AND TRIGGERING A FALSE WARNING). RECENTLY, WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, THE ENGINE HAS CUT OUT ON ME 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TWO INSTANCES WERE BACK-TO-BACK (ONE ON EXITING A ROUNDABOUT), FOLLOWED BY A RIGHT-HAND TURN @ APPROX. 37200 MILES. IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS IN THE FAR-RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO DRIFT TO SAFETY. THE ENGINE STUTTERED UPON TRYING TO PUSH-TO-START BUT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS. THE NEXT MORNING, "OIL LOW" FLICKERED AND "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" LIT UNTIL ENGINE RESTART. OIL WAS/IS NOT LOW. AT 37400 MILES

THE RADIATOR FAN IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. IT IS BREAKING DUE TO NOT HAVING A HEAT SHIELD ON IT AND IT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. JEEP FIXES THE PROBLEMS IN THE LATE 2016 MODELS BY PUTTING IN A METAL FAN AND TOOK OUT THE PLASTIC FAN. FEAR OF RENEGADE CATCHING FIRE. VEHICLE OVERHEATS IN THE PARKING LOT.

SECOND INCIDENT/ SEE TRACKING #11084790. BROUGHT CAR TO JIM CLICK TUCSON TO HAVE PANEL ON FRONT OF ROOF CHECKED DUE TO CONCERN AS PANEL SEEMED LOOSE-HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED D/T PART COMING LOOSE AND FLYING OFF PREVIOUSLY WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. INSPECTED BY SERVICE MANAGER WHO DOCUMENTED PANEL APPEARS WARPED AT FRONT DRIVERS EDGE. 'PART IS SECURE.' ON WAY HOME PART FLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED. REPORTED TO JEEP DEALERSHIP AND CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT JEEP HEADQUARTERS. INCIDENT REPORTED AND GIVEN CASE FILE NUMBER FOR CASE REVIEW. EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER SAFETY OF HAVING THIS PART FLY OFF THE ROOF TWICE NOW. THIS TIME THE PART STAYED ON LESS THAN 1 WEEK AND WE HAD EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THE PART STILL SEEMED INSECURE WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AFTER THE REPLACEMENT WAS DONE. WIND NOISE AND RATTLING HAVE BEEN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS ROOF. WAITING TO HAVE PART REPLACED AGAIN. PART #068246339-AA

VEHICLE REFRIGERANT FOR THE AC COOLING SYSTEM IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE IN JUNE 2017 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO LEAK. SERVICE CENTER REFILLED THE REFRIGERANT AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO COLD AIR RUNNING THROUGH THE SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THE REFRIGERANT LEAKED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE TWICE DUE TO NEGLIGENCE. WHENEVER THE AC COMPONENT TRIES TO RUN, WHETHER IT IS PARKED OR MOVING, A LOUD HISSING NOISE IS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN IS VIBRATING ITSELF OFF. THE VEHICLE HAD LOW MILEAGE STILL- UNDER 45,000. LOOKED IT UP AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND APPARENTLY THE PART IS BACK ORDERED FOR MONTHS, WHICH MEANS I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE. SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER ISSUE TO ME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT

THIS VEHICLE HAS NO MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE, WHICH WOULD SEEM TO BE A VIOLATION OF CFR-2010-TITLE 49-VO L5-SEC 393-41. THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE IS PRETTY WELL USELESS, AND NECESSARY SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AND A TINY (1.4L) ENGINE INCAPABLE OF HOLDING THE CAR ON A STEEP HILL. ERROR MASSAGE ABOUT ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEMS KEEP POPPING UP, THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX IT DESPITE MANY REPEATED ATTEMPTS. EVEN WHEN WORKING, IT CANNOT BE USED TO TURN THE CAR ON SNOW, ICE., ETC. AS I SAID: USELESS.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY IN AZ THE FRONT PANEL OF THE SLIDINGSKY SUNROOF FLEW OFF THE ROOF. HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THIS ROOF SINCE PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN NH. HAD BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST TWICE PREVIOUSLY FOR ONGOING RATTLING, INCOMPLETE CLOSURE AND EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE FROM THIS ROOF. EVENTUALLY, THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE ROOF UNIT BUT THE ISSUES HAVE CONTINUED ULTIMATELY RESULTING IN THIS LATEST ISSUE OF THE FRONT ROOF PIECE LITERALLY BLOWING OFF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO A DEALERSHIP IN ARIZONA FOR REPAIR AND WE EXPRESSED OUR CONCERN OVER THIS POTENTIALLY BEING A HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE TOAD THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO OTHERS. THE DEALERSHIP EXPRESSED NO OPINION OR CONCERN OTHER THAN THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PIECE THAT CAME OFF THE VEHICLE

A LOUD WOBBLING SOUND WAS NOTICED FROM THE ENGINE BAY OF THE VEHICLE. INVESTIGATION OF THE SOUND REVEALED THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN TO BE VIBRATING VIOLENTLY WHILE ENGAGED. SHORTLY AFTER THIS DISCOVERY THE FAN FAILED TO ENGAGE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVE LANDERS JEEP LOCATED AT 401 COLONEL GLENN PLAZA LOOP LITTLE ROCK, AR 72210. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS CONFIRMED TO BE THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AT 54,600 MILES. FAN WAS REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP AT MY EXPENSE.

FOR THE FOURTH TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SERVICE AT THE DEALER , AND FOR THE FOURTH TIME THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED RECEIVED A 'SERVICE POWER STEERING' DASHBOARD MESSAGE....AND THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE 20,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER I LEAVE THE CAR FOR TWO MONTH IN THE DEALER FINALLY THEY CALL ME AND SAID MY CAR WAS REEDY AS TODAY MARCH 2018 BUT CONTINUES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM . I AM OF COURSE CONCERNED THAT MY POWER STEERING COULD FAIL WHILE I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPEN ONE TIME ALREADY, I'M VERY FRUSTRATE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THIS POINT. IF SOME COULD HELP ME OR INDICATE WHAT TO DO THANKS. SAME PROBLEM HERE- EXCEPT TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING WHILE ON HIGHWAY. NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, 7 TOTAL SINCE 2016, 16 DAYS AND COUNTING IN SERVICE BAY AND NOT DRIVEABLE. THIS CAR IS A NIGHTMARE. DEALER SERVICE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SERVICE

DEALER SERVICE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SERVICE

TRANSMISSION SHIFT TO NEUTRAL UNEXPECTEDLY FOR FEW SECONDS OR WHEN IS ON LOW SPEED. IT'S SCARY. SECOND PROBLEM, GPS LOST FREQUENTLY DIRECTION OR REPORT WRONG POSITION. ALSO 911 IS NOT WORKING

WHEN TURNING OR VEERING AT SEMI-LOW RATES OF SPEED (15-35 MPH), TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES REPEATEDLY AND ALL POWER TO ACCELERATOR IS LOST FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. THIS HAS REPEATEDLY PUT ME IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. DESPITE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FINDING MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG AND SAID PROBLEM WAS FIXED AFTER A REFRESH UPDATE FOR BOTH COMPUTER SYSTEMS. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT FIXED AS IT HAPPENED TODAY AND I WAS ALMOST T-BONED IN AN INTERSECTION. ONLY HAS 23,120 MILES ON IT AND STILL UNDER JEEP WARRANTY. THIS BEGAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE.

VEHICLE JERKED HARD AND IMMEDIATELY LOST PROPULSION WHILE DRIVING 73 MPH ON INTERSTATE. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AT A REST AREA, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CAR SHUT OFF. WOULD RESTART FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIE AGAIN. WHEN TRYING TO START IT A MESSAGE SHOWED UP SAYING TO STOP THE CAR WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND NOT MOVING. PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT APPLYING IT, TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET IT TO GO OFF. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE HAD IT TOWED TO CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP. CAR STARTED FOR THEM THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID NO CODES SHOWED UP AND THAT THE CAR STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS LOW ON OIL AND 200 MILES PAST TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE. SAID THIS WAS A FEATURE OF THE CAR -IF IT WAS LOW ON OIL IT WOULD JUST DIE SO IT COULDN'T BE DAMAGED BY DRIVING IT WITH LOW, OR NO, OIL, AND THAT NO WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THEY CHANGED THE OIL, PRONOUNCED IT FIXED AND I GOT IT BACK. 3 DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A HILLY, WINDY, 2-LANE ROAD, 25 MPH, THE CAR AGAIN LOST PROPULSION, THIS TIME WITHOUT JERKING FIRST. I WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWNHILL TO A WIDE SPOT IN THE ROAD AND STOP. WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A "SERVICE ENGINE" MESSAGE APPEARED. CALLED MY HUSBAND, WHEN HE GOT THERE WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WAS SHAKING LIKE CRAZY AND SOUNDED LIKE A BUNCH OF HEAVY METAL OBJECTS WERE BEING TUMBLED IN A METAL DRUM. CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER AS BEFORE. AFTER 2 DAYS THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT IT NEEDED AN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS, CAM SH

TAKATA RECALL THERE ARE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OCCURRING WITH THE VEHICLE, ALONG WITH MECHANICAL PROBLEMS AND THE CAR IS USED TO COMMUTE TO WORK AND HOME. THESE ISSUES HAVE NEVER OCCURRED WITH ANY OTHER NEW CAR WE HAVE PURCHASED FROM A LOT. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR WITH MY FAMILY UNSURE OF WHAT OTHER PROBLEM MAY OCCUR.

ENGINE COOLING RAN MAKING SCREECHING NOISE AND WOBBLING ON SHAFT. SOUNDS LIKE THE FAN IS CONTACTING SOMETHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GO IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE TRANSMISSION AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS SHIFTING GEARS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT CODE P1D98 WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

ENGINE HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELLERATE FROM JUST STOPPED TO 30MPH AND GEAR FEELS LIKE IT IS IN A LOWER GEAR THAN IT IS EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. DASHBOARD COMPLETELY FLICKERS ALL AREAS OF OPERATION UNTIL FINALLY SHOWING MPH. WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE BRAND NEW, IT HAD TO BE TOWED INTO DEALER NEXT MORNING. DEALER STATED BATTERY WAS DEAD AND NEEDED CHARGED AS WELL AS THERE BEING LITTLE TO NO OIL IN VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS WITH A NEW VEHICLE BEFORE. ALSO THE MESH FROM THE PASSENGER DOOR IS SEPARATING FROM THE HANDLE AS OF 1 WEEK FROM PURCHASE.

TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AFTER MAKING A TURN AND RETURNING TO THE GAS PEDAL , DID NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR GOING UP A HILL, SOUDING LIKE IT WENT INTO DOWNHILL ASSIST ON FLAT GROUND, ROLLS BACKWARDS AFTER PARKED OR CLUNKS WHEN GOING INOT REVERSE ALSO SLAMS INTO FIRST AT TIME AFTER TAKE OFF . HEATED SEATS TURN DOEN OR OFF AFTER 25 MIN, HEATING STEARING LIGHT WILL BE ON AND WHEEL IS COLD, RADIO CHAMGES CHHANELLS OR VOLUME WHEN CONTROLS ARENT BEING USED, REMOTE START DOESNT ALWAYS WORK CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR REPAIR AND STILL NOT FIXED AND HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALLS TO BRING IT BACK NOW AT 36500 MILES SINCE THEY HAVE NOT CALLED BACK. PROBLEMS STARTED AROUND 6000 MILE MARK

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, BOTH TIMES FOR BROKEN CLASP WHICH HOLDS THE BUCKLE IN PLACED ONCE YOU "CLICK IT". BOTH TIMES OCCURRED PRIOR TO STARTING THE CAR. THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED AFTER THE RETRACTOR MECHANISM FAILED, WHICH LEFT THE PASSENGER UNABLE TO TIGHTEN THEIR SEATBELT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE REAR CENTER SEATBELT WAS INSTALLED IMPROPERLY FROM THE FACTORY, HAD TO BE REMOVED AND RE-INSTALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THREE WEEKS LATER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PISCHKE MOTORS OF LA CROSSE (434 4TH ST, LA CROSSE, WI 54601) THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

VEHICLE SHIFTS VERY HARD. WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE JUMPS FORWARD AND SIMILARLY JUMPS BACK ON REVERSE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT WENT FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND APPLIED A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF GAS, VEHICLE SHOT BACKWARDS CAUSING ME TO SHARPLY TURN THE WHEEL TO AVOID A COLLISION. SIMILARLY, WHEN FIRST PLACING VEHICLE IN DRIVE GOING AROUND 15 MILES AN HOUR VEHICLE WILL JUMP FORWARD NOTICABLY.

RADIATOR FAN MAKES RATTLING SOUND WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. VERY LOUD AND CAUSES CAR TO OVERHEAT WHEN RAN FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

THE DRIVE TRAIN FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. A NOISE OCCURRED (LIKE A CLICK) WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY (ROUGHLY 50 MPH) AND A WARNING APPEARED ON THE SCREEN TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY. THE TRANSMISSION BECAME UNRESPONSIVE FOR 2 MINUTES. I COULD PRESS THE GAS AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT OCCURRED. ANOTHER CLICK OCCURRED AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE CAR WAS STUCK IN 2ND GEAR. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF IDLING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE TRANSMISSION WAS THEN AGAIN FULLY RESPONSIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED 34 DEGREES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. BUT THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE WAS 21 DEGREES ON THE WEATHER CHANNEL APP. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOONS TYSONS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2050 CHAIN BRIDGE RD, VIENNA, VA 22182, (703) 790-0900) FOR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE AND WAS INFORMED THAT JEEP WAS OPERATING WITHIN THE DESIGN PARAMETERS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,748. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VIN IN SHORT WHEN CHARACTER NOTE PROVIDED WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED BUT STATED IT IS THE CORRECT VIN. *TR

ONGOING ISSUE, BUT TODAY I GOT IN MY JEEP AND ONCE AGAIN MY VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE TRANSMISSION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT GOES OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL.. ON TOP OF THAT I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING. MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN/ MAINTAIN VEHICLE CONTROL. I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE CAR 'JUMPING HARD INTO GEAR' AS MY HUSBAND PUTS IT; ALONG WITH IT TAKING OFF REALLY FAST, IT'S ALSO BEEN SOUNDING REALLY LOUD AND SHAKING WHEN IT REACHES SPEEDS UPWARDS OF 65 AND REFUSING TO CHANGE GEARS FROM TIME TO TIME... HOWEVER WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE THE JEEP HAS CHANGED ITS OWN GEARS STARTING ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING CAUSING IT TO MOVE INTO THE PORCH AND CAUSE SOME COSMETIC DAMAGE, THIS WAS OUR FIRST RECORDING OF THE ISSUE. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY 'UPDATED THE CPU' AND IT WORKED OK FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT HAS CONTINUALLY RETURNED TO HAVING THESE FAULTS AND HAS ONLY BEGAN TO WORSEN.. SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD TO REGULARLY GO IN FOR 'UPDATES' REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES AND MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES SUCH AS POWER LOCKS/POWER WINDOWS NOT RESPONDING AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING.. JUST LAST YEAR, LITERALLY 1 YEAR AND 1 DAY AGO WHILE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR BEGAN TO START ITS 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND DRIVERS REAR AXEL SNAPPED, CAUSING THE FRONT TO FOLLOW.. MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WHILE WAITING 2 MONTHS TO HAVE FIXED AND PAYING THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT

THE JEEP HAS BEEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER 3 TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE RENEGADE WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR PRODUCES THE SAME SOUND AS RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. THE SOUND CAN GET VERY LOUD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO HEAR WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE SURROUNDINGS (HORN, SIREN, ETC). THE AUTHORIZED JEEP SERVICE STATION HAS BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM BUT ACKNOWLEDGES THEY CAN HEAR THE SOUND. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SEVERAL JEEP RENEGADE FORUMS, STATING THE WARRANTIED DIFFERENTIAL WAS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED, THEY DEEMED THIS 'NOT NECESSARILY THE PROBLEM'.FCA HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THIS ISSUE AND SEEMS TO THINK IT POSES NO SAFETY CONCERN. THIS IS A 9 SPEED AUTO TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT FAILED TO START DUE TO BATTERY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED, BUT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FT. PIERCE (5851 S US HIGHWAY 1, FORT PIERCE, FL 34982, (855) 709-0687) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS PREMATURE WEAR OF THE CLUTCH. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IT WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 32928605. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD AND HESITATES AT TIMES WHEN NEED TO TAKE OFF QUICKLY FOR EXAMPLE TURNING LEFT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND IT HESITATES BEFORE SHIFTING WHICH IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE WITHIN 2 WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS UPDATE RELATED AND THEY UPDATED AND RESET EVERYTHING. IT IS JUST AS BAD OR WORSE NOW AND AFTER THE SECOND TIME THEY STATED THEY CAN FEEL THE ISSUE WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING IT BUT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SHOWS NOTHING WRONG THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SO I WILL BE DRIVING THE JEEP UNTIL IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION BUT HAVE TO HAVE MORE WARNINGS/ALERTS OR AN INCIDENT BEFORE CHRYSLER WILL APPROVE IT. THEY ALSO STATED THIS IS NORMAL ACTIVITY FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THAT IT "WORKS" BETTER AFTER IT WARMS UP A LITTLE. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IS THE ONLY TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD AUTOMALICLLY SHIFT IN SPORT MODE WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE BACK IN GEAR. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE AIR BAG AND OTHER UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (CRISWELL CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (84 BUREAU DR, GAITHERSBURG, MD 20878 (240) 252-2592). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,524.

THE SEAL BETWEEN THE WINDOW AND THE TOP OF THE DRIVER DOOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BY THE DEALER. THE SEAL CONTINUES TO CRACK ALLOWING WIND AND WATER TO ENTER THE CABIN. THE SOUND IS LOUD ENOUGH TO DROWN OUT THE RADIO AND IS DISTRACTING. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE REVS BUT IT'S LIKE IT'S NOT IN THE CORRECT GEAR. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND LET IT REGROUP AND TRY AGAIN. OTHER TIMES IT WILL DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE AND SURGE AHEAD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NUMEROUS SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE 9-SPEED TRANSMISSION HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HELP.

WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM A STOP INTO TRAFFIC ON A DIRT OR SLIPPERY ROAD THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE CAR SENDS NO POWER TO THE ANY OF THE 4 WHEELS. IT JUST STOPS. IN ORDER TO GO YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND TRY AGAIN TO MOVE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

THIS 2015 JEEP RENEGADE BEGAN HAVING A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER SEEING THAT IT WAS THE COOLING FAN, I TOOK MEASURES TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. BEFORE THAT HAPPENED, THE FAN WENT OUT COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD, HAS 41, 000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY SOUTHPOINT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (WHO I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM) THAT THEY CANNOT OBTAIN THE PART, AND THEY REFUSED TO OPEN A CLAIM WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY SO THAT I COULD GET A RENTAL CAR. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THE DEALER WILL NOT START THE CLAIM PROCESS. RIGHT NOW MY JEEP IS AT THE DEALER, WHO WAS HAPPY TO INFORM ME THAT IF I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AND IT OVERHEATED, MY 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WOULD BE VOID. AFTER CONTACTING FIAT CHRYSLER, I STILL HAVE NOT OBTAINED ANY KIND OF RELIEF. I HAVE A $25,000 CAR THAT IS BASICALLY A BRICK. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT IS WORTHLESS. THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY CONTRACT ACTUALLY SUGGESTED USING AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT PARTS, WHICH WOULD VOID MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE COOLING FAN ISSUE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2.4 LITER TIGERSHARK ENGINE.SOME OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THEIR CARS CATCHING ON FIRE WHEN THE FAN MELTS. FIAT CHRYSLER KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM, YET THOUSANDS OF THESE TIGERSHARK EQUIPPED CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE BUT THEY ARE AVOIDING RESPONSIBILIT

DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED CLUTCH FAILURE AT 28K MILES. CAR WAS OPERATING COMPLETELY NORMAL AND THE CLUTCH FAILED ON HIGHWAY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVING IN 5TH GEAR. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE OR GO IN REVERSE IN ANY GEAR. THIS IS ANOTHER IN A SERIES OF ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. ELECTRIC ISSUES AND A/C ISSUES IN 2016. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP 3 SEPARATE TIMES TO RESOLVE ISSUE.

TWICE NOW MY ENGINE COOLING FAN MOTOR HAS FAILED AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. I WAS LUCKY THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TIME MY CAR WAS PARKED IDLING ABOUT 5 MINUTES WITH SLEEPING CHILDREN WHEN THE CAB FILLED WITH SMOKE AND WOKE THE ADULT. WAKE UP CHRYSLER! ..UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF
