2016 Jeep Renegade complaints

THIS CAR COMES ALMOST TO A DEAD STOP AND STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL STALL RIGHT AS I'M ENTERING TRAFFIC AND ATTEMPTING TO GET UP TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC DURING A TIME WHEN ALL OTHER CARS AROUND ME ARE ALSO ACCELERATING, IT'S HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT THE JEEP I'VE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT. THESE ENGINES SHOULD BE RECALLED.

REAR TAILIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. DIAGNOSTIC BY THE DEALERSHIP SHOWS THAT THE CONNECTORS IN MOTH REAR TAILLIGHTS HAVE MELTED. I GOT THE DASH ALERT WHEN I FIRST STARTED MY VEHICLE.

HAVING TO PUT OIL IN A MONTH AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. RENEGADE IS DRIVEN 40 HIGHWAY MILES A DAY 5 TIMES A WEEK. ALSO THE COOLANT LIGHT SHOOTS UP TO HOT SUDDENLY THEN BACK DOWN WHILE IDLING IN PARK.

THE MYSKY ROOF ON MY JEEP BROKE OFF AND FLOWN OFF AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE LATCH ON THE INSIDE BROKE OFF INTO TINY PLASTIC PIECES CAUSING THE SUNROOF TO FLY UP AND OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING 63 MPH AT THE TIME THE EVENT TOOK PLACE, ON A HIGHWAY.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAY OF 2020. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT A BARELY 5 YEAR OLD CAR IS ALREADY SHIFTING HARD. AND HAS TO GO UNDER MAINTENANCE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS NOT JUST MY CAR, BUT OVER 75% OF JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT IS UNSAFE. I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS ROLLING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR JERKED FORWARD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLLLLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! FIX THE ISSUE. NOW I HAVE TO STOP FARTHER FROM THE LIGHT OR SIGN BECAUSE I KNOW MY CAR IS GOING TO LUNGE FORWARD. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR I HAVE TO TREAT LIKE ITS 20 YEARS OLD, I WILL NEVER BE BUYING ANOTHER JEEP ANYTHING AGAIN. I WAS AN IMPALA OWNER FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES. EVEN WHEN MY IMPALA HIT 19 YEARS OLD AND HAD ALMOST 300,000 MILES. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD BY NO MEANS ACT LIKE THIS. NOW AFTER DROPPING 12,000 ON THIS CAR I HAVE TO LEAVE WORK, LOOSE MORE MONEY AND GO TO AN APPOINTMENT ON THE 21ST TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THIS ISSUE FIXED.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONTINUE WITH BLINKERS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS. REPLACED BATTERY, REPLACED COOLING FAN. STATIONARY, AND WHEN IN MOTION.

WHEN DRIVING CAR, BEEPING OCCURS (AS IF SOMEONE IS RIDING AND NOT BUCKLED) AND PARKING BRAKE AND AIR BAG LIGHTS FLASH ON DASH BOARD. SAW ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE W THEIR RENEGADE AS WELL. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $175 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT. PLEASE HELP!

WHEN DRIVING, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN THE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT FLASHES AND I'M UNABLE TO USE MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE. MY CAR SHUTS OFF AT STOP SIGNS, ON ITS OWN AND THE AIR BAG LIGHTS COME ON. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE RENEGADES. THIS IS SUPER DISAPPOINTING AND UNSAFE.

THE GUIDE LINES HAVE DISAPPEARED ON THE REVERSE CAMERA.

THE CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AUTONATION 3 MONTHS AGO. I NOTICED THE OIL LOW PRESSURE JUST STARTED TO COME WITH THE SHUTDOWN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE I FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS ONLINE.

I HAVE A JEEP RENEGADE 2016 SPORT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS WEIRD ISSUE WITH IT WHERE IT HAS A NOTICE THAT SAYS SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE THEN COMPLETELY SHUT THE CAR OFF WHILE DRIVING I HAVE LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS OTHER JEEP BUYERS WITH THE SAME MODEL HAVE THESE ISSUES TOO I DON'T THINK IT'S SAFE TO HAVE THESE CARS OUT FOR BUYING WHEN THE CLEARLY HAVE A DEFECT THAT NEED FIXING

MY PASSENGER SIDE FOG LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. I HAVE CHANGED IT 3X IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVEN'T RECOGNIZED ANY PATTERN OR CAUSE BEHIND THIS. I'M SEEING ON FORUMS THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO ACCESS THE BULB THROUGH THE WHEEL WELL, POSSIBLE MOISTURE MAY BE GETTING INTO THE COMPARTMENT CAUSING THE LIGHT TO GET WET AND SHORT. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND SAY IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TO ME SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW AND I THINK THEY NEED TO FIX IT.

WHEN YOU FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR AFTER ABOUT 1 MIN THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT THEN TAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART IT BEFORE YOU CAN GO.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS TAKING TURNS. JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. AFTER IT SHUTS OFF THE LIGHTNING BOLT IN PARENTHESES (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM) COMES ON, THEN GOES AWAY. CAR SHOWS AS STILL RUNNING, BUT WON'T MOVE. SOMETIMES THE LOW OIL GAUGE COMES ON, BUT THE VEHICLE IS UP TO DATE WITH OIL CHANGES. VERY UNSAFE FOR VEHICLE TO JUST "STOP MOVING" OR "SHUT OFF" IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS, BUT NOW IT IS DAILY.

NOTICE A CHANGE OIL LIGHT STARTED POPPING UP ALTHOUGH I DID NOT NEED TO CHANGE OIL ACCORDING TO RECORDS I WAS NOT DUE TO CHANGE OIL UNTIL ANOTHER THREE MONTHS, I ONLY BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND 4900 SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN JULY 2020, THEIR LAST SERVICE WAS DONE AT THE DEALER ON JULY 6 2020 WHICH INCLUDED OIL CHANGE. ITS ON THE SERVICE HISTORY RECORD. I ALSO STARTED NOTICING A BURNING SMELL WHEN I GOT OUT MY VEHICLE SO I DECIDED TO CHECK MY OIL LEVEL AND TO MY SURPRISE I WAS 2 QUARTS LOW AT ONLY 58213 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I CALLED AND SCHEDULED TO GET IT LOOKED AT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, SO WHY NOT A COURTESY CALL TO THE CONSUMER? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THE VEHICLE ISSUED A WARNING LIGHT THAT STAYS ON AND WON'T GO AWAY THEN I WOULD OF DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT IT WAS JUST A CHANGE OIL LIGHT AND WENT AWAY SO I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST REMINDING ME AND BEING THAT I WAS GETTING CLOSE TO 58,000 AND AGAIN ONLY BEEN DRIVING IT OVER 4,000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL SERVICE. MY FEAR IS THE DEALER MAY TRY AND HOLD ME LIABLE AND HAVE TO PAY FOR SERVICE FOR THE ISSUE BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE IN RIGHT AWAY WHEN I SAW THE OIL SERVICE LIGHT FIRST APPEAR.

MY JEEP IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS 55,000 MILES. I LEASED IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE A/C IS HISSING AND NOT BLOWING COLD. I HAVE CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP ME SINCE IT IS OUT OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND IT SUPPOSEDLY HAS A LEAK IN THE CONDENSER AND ANOTHER HOSE.. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS NOT NORMAL TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE MILES ARE SO LOW AND IT HAS BEEN CARED FOR SO WELL. I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING OR PARTS. THANK YOU.

DUE TO UNKNOW REASONS THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT POSITIONAL CONTROLS IN MY JEEP RENEGADE HAVE BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNPREDICTABLE IN THEIR FUNCTIONALITY. THE DRIVER POWER SEAT MALFUNCTION LINGERS DESPITE SEVERAL TIME-CONSUMING VEHICLE EXAMINATIONS BY A FCA LOCAL AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE AGENT. THIS ISSUE PRESENTS A SAFETY AND HEALTH HAZARD TO ME WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AT AN ABNORMAL RATE. I HAVE TO TOP IT OFF SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IT ALSO RUNS EXTREMELY ROUGH WHEN IN DRIVE/REVERSE, BUT NOT MOVING(STOP SIGNS, DRIVE THROUGHS). IF I PUT IT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL, IT RUNS FINE. OCCASIONALLY, IT WILL STALL OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I'VE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND AN ISSUE. THEY UPDATED THE ECU AND TCU, BUT IT DIDN'T RESOLVE IT. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY NOW.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER AND THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK" APPEARS THEN THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR WAS TRAVELING LESS THAN 25MPH.THE CAR MAY OR MAY NOT START AFTERWARDS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS STRANDED ME. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE OUTSIDE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH UP A MINOR INCLINE, THE VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING/CHUGGING AND THEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED RESPONDING. VEHICLE STALLED AND COASTED TO STOP WHERE THE IDLE WAS ROUGH AND THEN DIED. INITIALLY, WOULD RESTART, BUT THEN STALL OUT. FOR THE NEXT 3 HOURS (WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW), THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS FLAKING OUT - INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING ANY ERROR IN ITS WHEELHOUSE. RESTARTED NEXT DAY AND IDLE VERY ROUGH/MISFIRING, ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING AND DECENT CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE GENERATED. INITIAL REPORT FROM SHOP IS THAT THE ENGINE OIL IS SLUDGE (CHANGED 5K MILES AGO), BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DEAD (WAS ALREADY REPLACED AT 15K MILES) AND A SPARK PLUG END IS BENT AND IN HORRIFIC SHAPE. VEHICLE HAS 25K MILES AND HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 4.2 YEARS.

AFTER STARTING IT JUST SHUTS DOWN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF...THEN TAKES A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS TO RESTART

MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OCTOBER 4TH, VEHICLE TOTALED BUT NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THE RENEGADE WAS ON AND THERE WAS A PASSENGER (BUCKLED IN) IN THE VEHICLE. HAD FCA RUN THEIR 'INVESTIGATION' THOUGH THEY WILL NOT SHARE THE RESULTS OF WHICH WITH ME EVEN THOUGH I'VE ASKED. THEIR RESPONSE 'YOUR REQUEST FOR OUR INSPECTION REPORT IS PROPRIETARY, PAID FOR BY US, BELONGS TO US, AND THEREFORE, UNAVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH OUR HANDLING, YOU CERTAINLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO HIRE YOUR OWNER INSPECTOR, AT YOUR EXPENSE, TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE . WE HAVE CLOSED THE FILE REGARDING THIS MATTER.' BOTH MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER AND BODY SHOP (WHO ASKED FOR THE INVESTIGATION) STATED THAT BASED ON THE IMPACT (CRUSHED REAR AND DRIVER SIDE) SHOULD HAVE SET OFF THE AIRBAGS THOUGH THEY DIDN'T AND THE PASSENGER WAS INJURED, WHY WON'T THEY SHARE THE REPORT?

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AND ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY THE CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IT APPEARED THE GAS PEDDLE WAS INACTIVE AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. IT NOTIFIED ME WITH A LIGHT "ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL" THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT BACK INTO GEAR. I WAS CONCERNED BUT WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE THIS WAS PART OF THE DESIGN. SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING AND FOR NO REASON AT 25K MILES THE BATTERY SUDDENLY DIED. ALL LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE CAR. IT HAD NO POWER AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID "THE BATTERY JUST FAILED". IN AUG I WAS SHOCKED TO TURN ON THE CAR AND HAVE A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "CHANGE OIL" WELL BEFORE AN OIL CHANGE IS DUE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD SEEN THIS LIGHT BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS ON TIME WITH CAR MAINTENANCE. THE $84.77 SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN SPENT ON AN UNNECESSARY OIL CHANGE, IF THIS CONTINUES I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE CONSTANT OIL CHANGES. MOSTLY RECENTLY AND MOST CONCERNING ON TUESDAY THE 29TH OF SEP. I WAS LEAVING FOR A MEDICAL APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR IT SAID EVERY LIGHT IN THE CAR WAS OUT. MY NEIGHBOR CAME OVER AND VERIFIED THAT I WAS MISSING SEVERAL LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE AND I WAS STRANDED. I WAS ABLE TO GET A RIDE, BUT WHEN I GOT HOME A FEW HOURS LATER, I TURNED ON THE CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS WORKED PERFECTLY FINE. WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS I SHARE THE ROAD WITH, AND THE RELIABILITY OF MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE

THE ENGINE IDLES TOO FAST. 11/1/17 AND 12/7/17 THE TCM AND PCM WERE REPROGRAMED. NO HELP. 2/13/18 DEALER SAID " THE IDLE SPEED CAN'T BE RESET" 1/15/19 AFTER LEMON LAW THE MANUFACTURER AGREED" WE WILL REPLACE YOUR CAR", " 4/16/20 " WE WILL NOT REPLACE YOUR CAR, BUT WE WILL HONOR YOUR WARRANTY" 5/30/20 "YOUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, CHOOSE ANOTHER PLAN" THE DEALER HAS WORKED ON MY CAR 13 TIMES OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD, I NEARLY CRASHED IN APRIL 2018, BECAUSE THE FAST IDLE OVERPOWERED MY BRAKES. I BELIEVE I AM ENTITLED TO A NEW CAR JUST LIKE MINE, PAID IN FULL IN 2017. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INCLUDE PICTURES *JS

THE TRACTION CONTROL ON THIS VEHICLE WILL ENGAGE AT RANDOM WHEN TURNS ARE MADE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND IT'S MOMENTUM WILL CEASE. I BELIEVE THIS BEHAVIOR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT I WAS IN WHICH RESULTED IN THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS MAKING A DOG LEG TURN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, WITH THE LOST OF MOMENTUM I WAS HIT ON THE RIGHT REAR. THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED THE DAY BEFORE AS WELL. THIS ISSUES IS REPORTED BY OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON VARIOUS WEB BOARDS. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NO SERIOUS INJURY.*DT*DT*DT*JB*JB CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB

CAR STALLS OFTEN. JUST STARTED HAPPENING, RECENTLY, BUT MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. SEEMS LIKE A FUEL PUMP ISSUE, LIKE THE 2017-18 RENEGADE RECALL WAS ABOUT. OFTEN STALLS SHORTLY AFTER START UP, AND WHEN GOING SLOWLY, OR WHEN COMING UP TO A STOP.

OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE OFF BY 100 DEGREES. EFFECTS OTHER FUNCTIONS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ON. WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO FOR SAME THING.

THE LATCH TO THE LIFT IS CONTINUOUSLY POPPING OPEN, SO IT'S KILLING MY BATTERY. IT IS ONLY HAPPENING WHEN IT'S PARKED BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED TO DRIVE WITH IT HAPPENING

CAR HAS 60000 MILES ON IT. I WENT TO TURN THE CAR ON AND ALL SERVICE LIGHTS POPPED UP (TRANSMISSION SERVICE, CHECK ENGINE AND OIL CHANGE). WENT TO PUT CAR AND DRIVE AND WOULD NOT GO OUT OF PARK. I USED THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE TO GET OUT OF GEAR AND ONCE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND ONLY ENGINE WOULD REV. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND MANY OTHER JEEP RENEGADES HAD A COMPUTER ISSUE WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE RESET. DEALERSHIP WONT FIX UNLESS UNDER WARRANTY.

MY SUNROOF STOPPED OPENING. WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON TO OPEN IT YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR RUN AND SOMETHING MOVING AND TRYING TO OPEN. I'VE USED IT LESS THAN A DOZEN TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND IT JUST STOPPED OPENING.

THE ENGINE BURNS THROUGH OIL WAY TO FAST AND CREATES UNNECESSARY COST. ALSO IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO SHUT DOWN WHEN I TURN RIGHT SLOWLY. POWER CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATES.

DRIVER REAR LIGHT (BACKUP, BLINKER AND BRAKE) LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I WAS CHECKING THE BULBS IT APPEARS THAT THE MIDDLE PIN ON THE WIRING HARNESS HAS CAUSED A SHORT THAT BROKE THE PIN AND ALSO MELTED SOME OF THE HARNESS. THE VEHICLE HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER 2016 JEEP RENEGADES THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE IN THE LAST YEAR. WE HAVE HAD INTERMENTANT ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTING SYSTEM FREAKING OUT BUT IT NEVER EFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE AND WOULD RESET ITS SELF AFTER ABOUT 25 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WE TOOK IT TO SAID THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH THEY DID. IT SEEMED TO CORRECT THAT ISSUE AS IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONCE IN THE LAST 20,000 MILES OR SO. BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER ISSUE.

COOLING FAN FAILED AT 59,000 MILES CAUSING THE CAR TO OVERHEAT WHEN RUNNING AC OR AT IDLE, SLOW MOVING SPEEDS.

MY COMPUTER HAD STARTED TO GLITCH WITHIN LESS THAN 100 MILES OF ME BUYING THE CAR I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW NOW I HAVE A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND WITHIN A DAY MY CAR HAS LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE WITH EVERY LIGHT POWER STEERING HAS GONE AND I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN AN ACCIDENT WORTH ALMOST THE WHOLE CAR -1 GRAND SO IT WAS NOT TOTALED NOR CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN WHY MY CAR DID THIS AND I GOT THE BLAME FOR IT WHEN I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS CAR THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND SIDE ROADS I HAVE NO E BREAK AND I CANNOT STEER MY WHEEL NOR DO I KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS ARE EVEN GOING TO WORK BECAUSE I GOT AN A $10,000 ACCIDENT AND THEY DID NOT GO OFF.*DT*JB*DT*JB

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS THE ENGINE FAN HAS STOPPED WORKING CAUSING FREQUENT OVERHEATING WHILE IDLE. AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE, THE FAN WAS REPLACED AND SEEMED TO BE OK (FALL 2018) NOW THE VEHICLE IS OVERHEATING AGAIN DUE TO THE FAN NOT TURNING ON. LOCAL MECHANICS CLAIM IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT THEY CANNOT FIX.

THE CONNECTOR TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS (WHERE THE WIRES MEETS BULBS) MELTED AND HAS CAUSED MY RIGHT REAR LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THE WAREHOUSE THE PART WAS ORDERED FROM HAD 8 OF THE PARTS IN STOCK AND THAT IT WASN'T NORMAL FOR THAT MANY TO BE AVAILABLE.

THE RADIATOR FAN MAKES RATTLING SOUNDS WHILE AC IS IN OPERATION OR VEHICLE IDLES. *TR

TRANSMISSION #1 HAD A CRACK IN IT AND FAILED IN JANUARY 2019 WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE IN THE DRIVEWAY WOULD NOT GO BACK IN THE PARKING SPOT UNTIL THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. HILL ASSIST LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT.. SLAMMED INTO PARK AND REVERSE. WHOLE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. *TR

TRANSMISSION #2 FAILED ON MAY 31ST LURCHED FORWARD FELT LIKE SOMEONE SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AT ALL AS I LOOKED FOR A SAFE PLACE TO PARK IT SO IT COULD BE TOWED. SLAMMED INTO GEAR AS WELL. WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ONLY THAT IT DID AND WAS GOING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. *TR

THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INTERMITTENTLY GO ON AND PHYSICAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING IS FELT. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE AT IDLE STATIONARY AND DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY.*DT*JB

SEATBELT CONNECTOR AND SENSOR ISSUES. INTERMITTENTLY SEATBELT, AIRBAG AND PARKING BRAKE SENOR KEEPS GOING OFF AND WILL NOT STOP WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR WHILE ALL THESE SENOR ARE GOING OFF. I FEAR THE SEATBELT, AIR BAG AND PARKING BAKE WILL MALFUNCTION WHILE I'M DRIVING. *TR

COOLING FAN WENT OUT AT 42,700 MILES. FAN WOULD MAKE NOISE AND RATTLE ANYTIME THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, ACCELERATING OR WHEN SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, FAN WOULD SHAKE THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. ENTIRE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE IS NOW AT 52,884 MILES AND THE FAN IS MAKING NOISE AGAIN. *TR

MY VEHICLE'S CONNECTOR TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT HAS A BURN MARK ON THE MIDDLE PIN OF THE CONNECTOR. I HAVE FOUND COUNTLESS OTHERS ON FORUMS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WHERE THE CONNECTOR TO THEIR TAIL LIGHT FRIED, THUS CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHT, BLINKER, AND REVERSE LIGHTS TO BE UNUSABLE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED BY SIMPLY CHANGING A BULB. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE ERROR FIRST OCCURRED. *TR

ALL RIGHT REAR LAMPS FAILED DUE TO WIRING HARDNESS WITH CENTER GROUNDING WIRE BURNT. REAR LAMPS ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. ALSO THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSE A SPARK, ENOUGH IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES TO CAUSE A FIRE, AND CONSIDER IT A SAFETY CONCERN. BULBS WHEN OUT WHEN OUT AFTER REPLACING WHEN OUT AGAIN THIS LEAD ME TO INVESTIGATE AND SAW THE BURNT GROUND WIRE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASK IF ANY RECALLS AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AND ALSO CHARGE 130 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE . I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A SIMILAR COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE FOG LIGHT REFLECTOR MELTED, WHICH CAUSED THE LIGHT TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FAILURE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SANDY LOCATED AT 10905 AUTO MALL DR, SANDY, UT 84070, AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BULB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BULB WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE BULB EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR FOR A WHILE NOW. IT MAKES A SOUND, WHICH FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVE SAID SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN FAN, WHEN I AM STOPPED OR IDLING. IT IS A CLICKING AND WHIRRING SOUND THAT I CAN HEAR FROM OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN VIDEOS WHICH DESCRIBE AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015/2016 JEEP RENEGADE ENGINE COOLING FAN, WHICH SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I AM DEALING WITH. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE, BUT I AM AFRAID IT MIGHT DEVELOP INTO THE SMOKING AND OVERHEATING THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR HAVE EXPERIENCED.

ALL RIGHT REAR LAMPS FAILED AT THE SAME TIME, SHOWING FAILURES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER ONLINE INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THERE WERE PICTURES OF THE WIRING HARNESS WITH THE CENTER (GROUNDING) PIN BURNT OFF. I FOUND THE SAME ISSUE WITH MINE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING NORMAL DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS ON ON AN OPEN COUNTY ROAD, IN GOOD WEATHER. NO SIGNS OF ANY MOISTURE IN THE TAIL LIGHT ENCLOSURE. I WAS ABLE TO SOLDER IN A WIRE TO COMPLETE THE GROUND CIRCUIT AND ALLOW THE LIGHTS TO FUNCTION AGAIN. BUT DUE TO THE FAILURE, I WAS WITHOUT A RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL UNTIL I GOT HOME, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. AND APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE IT'S HAPPENED TO.

I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH AND MY ENGINE CUT OFF, STEERING LOCKED UP, AND I HAD NO CONTROL OF BREAKS OR ANYTHING. I COULD NOT GET OVER OR EVEN PUT MY HAZARDS ON TO SIGNAL TO OTHER DRIVERS I COULD NOT STOP OR GET TO ANOTHER LANE. WHEN A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED HE TRIED A NEW BATTERY AND EVERYTHING AND COULD NOT EVEN GET THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO BE ABLE TO TOW IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO GET SPECIAL TRUCK THERE TO GET THE CAR TO SAFETY AND A SHOP. AFTER GETTING TO THE SHOP THEY SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY WATER PUMP THAT CAUSED EVERYTHING TO SHUT DOWN SUDDENLY.

AIR CONDITIONER WONT HOLD ANTI FREEZE. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE AC COMPRESSOR UNIT HAS SHRAPNEL IN IT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THEY WOULD NOT DO IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO AC UNITS SOMETIMES AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. (AC UNITS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 3 YEARS!)

I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY OR WHEN I DRIVE IN THE CITY. WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE USUALLY IT HAPPENS WHEN MY VEHICLE IS GOING SLOW FOR EXAMPLE AT A YIELD SIGN OR AT A ROTARY. I WILL THEN PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND MORE TIMES THAN I'D LIKE TO REMEMBER SOMEONE HAS ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE THEY WERE ANTICIPATING ME PROCEEDING BUT WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND I DON'T GO ANYWHERE EXCEPT I JUST KEEP ROLLING VERY SLOWLY. I'VE EVEN FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AVOID COLLISION AND STILL MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE!! AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS CATCHING OR KICKING IN AND THE JEEP WILL KIND OF JERK AND THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AGAIN BECAUSE IT WORKS AGAIN! I HAVE A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE.
