2017 Jeep Renegade complaints

VEHICLE HESITATES AND STRUGGLES TO SHIFT. IT HARD SHIFTS AND FEELS LIKE IT KICKS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM ABOUT 20 MPH TO 65 MPH WHICH IS FREEWAY SPEED ENGINE TAKES A LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE THEN IT JERKS AND SHIFTS REALLY HARD.

THE 2017 WONT TURN OFF AFTER YOU TURNED ON AND ALL THE PANEL LIGHT MALFUNCTION. THE CAR ONLY TURN OFF IF I UNPLUG THE BATTERY. ACCORDING WITH THE WARRANTY OF THE CAR PASSED STATE LAW AND IT CANT BE REPLACE WHICH I THINK IS CRAZY SINCE ANY MALFUNCTION CAN HAPPEN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO THE JEEP WONT TURN OFF . THE DEALER DOESNT KNOW HOT TO FIXED SINCE NO CODE IS GIVING. I AM AFRAID OF USING THE CAR FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND FAMILY, AND ALL I WANT IS A REPLACEMENT.

MY VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF OIL PRIOR TO MY OIL CHANGE. RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS, MY LOW OIL PRESSURE NOTICE WILL POP ON AND DISAPPEAR AND THEN STALL ON ME. WAS TOLD BY MY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS RELATED TO PRESSURE CONSUMPTION.

COOLING FAN FAILURE. COOLING FAN IS RATTLING AND INCONSISTENT. LEADS TO OVERHEATING. LIMITED FCA "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RECALL" (V54) DOES NOT COVER ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KENDALL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (13355 SW 137TH AVE, MIAMI, FL 33186), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE USED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL (APPROXIMATELY FIVE TO SEVEN QUARTS PER MONTH). THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ASTORG DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (1501 7TH ST, PARKERSBURG, WV, (304) 485-8585) WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET, WITH PARKED CARS ON EITHER SIDE (AT APPROXIMATELY 18 MILES PER HOUR) AND IN A NEARLY STRAIGHT LINE, ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING SEVERE INJURY TO THE DRIVER WHICH REQUIRED MULTIPLE SURGERIES. BLACK BOX DATA SHOWS A ROLL OVER INCIDENT FROM ONE OF THE SENSORS. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ROLL OVER, NOR DID IT HIT A CURB, THE VEHICLE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS WHICH DEPLOYED SPONTANEOUSLY. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS OCCURRED DUE TO EITHER PROGRAMMING ERROR (AS HAS HAPPENED IN THE RECALLED JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES) OR A DEFECTIVE SENSOR FROM THE FACTORY. FCA USA WAS PUT ON NOTICE OF THIS INCIDENT AND, TO DATE, HAS TAKEN NO STEPS TO VIEW THE VEHICLE WHICH WE HAVE PRESERVED. *DT *DT *DT *DT*JB *TR*DT*JB*DT*DT*DT *JS *JS *DL*DT*DT *TP*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED, BUT ONCE THE CABLES WERE REMOVED, THE ENGINE WOULD RUN FOR A MINUTE AND SHUT OFF. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING, BRAKE, AIR BAG, AND EBD WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CAME TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE BATTERY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED MIKE SMITH CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 1945 I-10, BEAUMONT, TX 77701, (409) 840-3560) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS RANDOMLY INTO A GEAR OR, AND SOMETIMES MISS SHIFTS. WHEN IN SPORT MODE, TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT WHETHER SHIFTED UP OR DOWN LEAVING THE CAR AT SPEED DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON 8/30/19 MY VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AND MADE A WEIRD ELECTRICAL SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START AGAIN . BOTH TIMES I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ON THE STREET GETTING READY TO TURN

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.

ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND GAS PEDALS WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPM DID NOT INCREASE. PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND EXIT; WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS ONLY. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT.

VEHICLE AT FIRST WAS NOT TURNING ON THEN THE FOLLOWING DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK IT STALLED IN THE HIGHWAY I WAS PRESSING THE GAS BUT IT JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS COULD HAVE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. JUST ON SIDE NOTE I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE PUSH TO START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ADDITIONALLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SUGGESTED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BE SHIFTED TO THE PARK POSITION BEFORE SHIFTING INTO A DRIVE GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COUGHLIN MARYSVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 15777 WATKINS RD, MARYSVILLE, OH 43040, (937) 246-5386) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO THE TYPE OF FUEL AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TWO QUARTS LOW ON ENGINE OIL. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL SUCTION DOOR WAS MISALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (11101 NURSERYFIELDS DRIVE, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32256), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V731000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE, FIRST THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY NEW TIRES. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME IT A REAR DRIVE AXLE MODULE CHRYSLER KNOW ABOUT IT AND TRYING TO FIND A FIX.I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS NOISE PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR, WITH THEM LOOKING AT ME LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.THE NOISE GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER THE FASTER I GO. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON THE FREEWAY WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE MY TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES BECAUSE THE REAR ONES WORE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD ON BOTH REAR TIRES COULD THIS BE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM?

THE TIRE SHOWED SIGNS OF DELAMINATING WHILE BEING ROTATED. THE ISSUE OCCURRED BETWEEN 27K AND 31K MILES. THE CAR HAD BEEN ALIGNED 12/2018 AND THE TIRES ROTATED 3 MONTHS EARLIER AT 27K MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

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. *DT SEE ATTACHMENT TESTIMONY IS MORE THAN 2,000 CHARACTERS.*JB

I HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR EVER TO BUY THE CARD OF MY DREAM: A JEEP RENEGADE AND I FINALLY GOT IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AND NOT EVEN A PARKING TICKET AND WITH THE SAME INSURANCE FOR FOURTEEN YEAR (GEICO). ONE EVENING ON MY WAY TO THE SUPERMARKET AND WHILE MAKING A LEFT, I FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, I KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT SLIDE VERY SLOWLY, AND BOOM! I WAS HIT ON THE BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AN OLD PICK TRUCK. (A LEFT IN AZ, YOU ARE NEGLIGENT). WHAT A NIGHTMARE! THE POLICE TAKING THE REPORT WAS SOMETHING THAT I COULD NOT EXPLAIN, HIM TALKING AND LAUGHING WITH THE YOUNG MEN THAT HIT ME AS IF HE KNEW THE RELATIVES THAT CAME TO AID. I CALLED MY INSURANCE FOR A TOW TRUCK AND THEY WERE UNABLE BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTERS WERE UPDATING. I JUST KNEW THAT I WAS NOT NEGLIGENT, AND I WAS RIGHT. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR JEEP RENEGADE 2017 FROM THE FCA STATING THAT A LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE MAY LEAD TO AN ENGINE STALL RESULTING IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, WHICH MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. REMEDY: ALL OF THE INVOLVE VEHICLES MUST HAVE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED. TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AT MORE CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PART FOR THE CAR IT WAS A HASSLE, A LADY AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD NO IDEA IF THEY HAD ANYTHING AND FINALLY TODAY, I CALL SEVERAL AGENCIES I HAD IDEA EXISTED (8/12/2019). DID I GET AN ATTORNEY? UNLESS THERE IS DEATH, DISMEMBERMENT, DIU AN THE SUCH THERE IS NO CASE. MY INTACT DRIVING RECORD IS D

GAS PEDAL/ACCELERATION WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE, IN A CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AFTER I FIRST START THE VEHICLE, PLACE IT IN REVERSE, AND COAST/ROLL BACKWARDS (OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, INTO THE ROAD, INTO TRAFFIC). SLAMMING MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL RESULTS IN NO ACCELERATION, SO I JUST ROLL SLOWLY INTO THE ROAD. VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY AFTER I THEN SHIFT TO DRIVE. NOT BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE IN REVERSE WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK EVERY MORNING IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I TOOK THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY THEN TESTED THIS ISSUE ON 2016 RENEGADE, 2017 RENEGADE, AND 2018 RENEGADE. THE 2016 AND 2017 RENEGADES HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THE 2018 RENEGADE REPORTEDLY DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH A JEEP ENGINEER THAT HAS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE BEFORE, AND TRIED REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AS A SOLUTION. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, SO THE ENGINEER CLAIMS THAT IT'S "WORKING AS DESIGNED." CLEARLY IT'S DESIGNED UNSAFELY. I HAVE INCLUDED MY DEALERSHIP'S NOTES INDICATING THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND MY (AND OTHER) RENEGADES. AND THAT THEY ENDED UP DIAGNOSING THIS AS "ISSUE IS NORMAL NO PROBLEM FOUND."

TAKATA RECALL MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE SEEMS TO DO THIS JERK / STALLING THING WHILE DRIVING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL STARTS TO GET LOW. WHILE RUNNING MY CAR HAS THIS LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I REMEMBER SEEING SMOKE COME FROM THE ENGINE AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR IF THAT.

FUEL GUAGE METER SHOWING WRONG LEVEL. MY GAS IS FULL EVEN THOUGH THE DIGITAL METER SHOWING 1/2.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UNDERWOOD JEEP CHRYSLER (2626 CLEVELAND RD, WOOSTER, OH) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD SUDDENLY ACTIVATE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP ABRUPTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HAASZ CHRYSLER (315 S. MILL ST, DALTON, OH) AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE REPAIR SPECIFICS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

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

CHANGING GEARS IS SOMETIME NOT VERY SMOOTH. THE CAR SEEM TO JERK OR JUMP IN TO GEAR. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME JUST OCCASSIONALLY.

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.

AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. SLIGHTLY COMPRESSING THE BRAKE TO COME TO A HAULT. INSTEAD OF BRAKING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. A RED LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH INDICATING THE PARKING BRAKE, I LOOKED DOWN AND IT WAS NOT ON. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AGAIN AND AGAIN ACCELERATED INTO THE CONCRETE PILLAR RATHER THAN STOPPING. *DT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

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.

OIL PUMP RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT SHOOK AND THE ENGINE SEEMED TO REV ON ITS OWN. AFTER SOME TIME, THE VEHICLE ADJUSTED ITSELF AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX TIRES, SIZE: 215/65/16 (NA). LOST TIRE PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY DUE TO THE TIRE FAILURE TREAD SEPARATION ON THE INSIDE OF TIRE. ONLY NOTICEABLE WITH TIRES OFF OF THE RIM. WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INDICATED A LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE, PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR AND DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE WAS GRADUAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEELS WERE REMOVED AT THE RESIDENCE AND TAKEN TO SOUTHERN TIRE MART LOCATED AT 2009 E BEEBE CAPPS EXPY, SEARCY, AR 72143, (501) 268-1167. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH MICHELIN BRAND TIRES. NEITHER THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER NOR A DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE ON THE TIRES WERE 8,000, 10,000 AND 12,000 RESPECTIVELY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 8,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHIFTING HARD WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP OR DRIVING ALONG AND IT HAPPENS IT RACES WHEN DRIVING AND THEN STALLS IT WANT GO SOMETIMES. ITS BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIP AND WORKED ON IT STILL IS NOT WORKING. IT'S IN THE SHOP AGAIN. I DON'T WANT THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I NEED TO BE SAFE. IT ALMOST GOT ME HURT TWO TIMES. I NEED IT REPLACED. I AM DISABLED. I WISH THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN I NEED A VEHICLE THAT WANT BE DISABLED. LET ME KNOW ASAP. THANK YOU.

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

TRAVELING AT 75 MPH ON HIGHWAY 25 IN NEW MEXICO, THE BEGAN DECELERATING DESPITE MY FOOT PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. SERVICE ENGINE KIGHT ILLUMINATED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO JEEP DEALERSHIP SIERRA BLANCA MOTORS IN RUIDOSO NM. LUCKILY I HAD CELL SERVICE TO CONTACT AAA. FUEL PUMP IS BEING REPLACED NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 21,000 MILES. DEALER TOLD ME THERE IS NO WAY TO RECONFIGURE IT SO THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. IM AFRAID NOW TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE TO DRIVE TO DESOLATE LOCATIONS WITH NO CELL SERVICE FOR MY JOB. I WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED. THEVFIRST INCIDENT I WAS ALSO IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY NEAR SANTA FE. FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED THEN AT 5,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

I DRIVING AND THE CARE TURN OFF??? VERY DANGEROUS ' THEN THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT SHOWS... TOOK INTO DEALER AND THEY SAY CHRYSLER KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WITH THE JEEP 2017 I HAVE 30,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAPPEN... WHAT IS CHRYSLER GOING TO DO I WANT AN ANSWER . I HAVE TO COME IN EVERY 1000 MILES TO HAVE MY OIL CHECKED AND IF PROBLEMS CONTINUE A NEW ENGINE. SOUND LIKE NEW CAR. PUT A NEW ENGINE IN TO JUST HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...NO..... THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIME ENGINE TURNING OFF... LOW PRESSURE OIL ONLY ONCE BUT WHEN I BROUGHT TO DEALER IT WAS 2 QTRS. LOW... I TAKE MY CAR REGULAR TO GET OIL CHG., JONES DEALER IN BELAIR MD I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU ALL PLAN ON DOING... VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE KNOWING THIS

I TOOK THE VECHICLE FOR THE RECALL FOR A REPLACEMENT ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND I WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT AND THAT I WOULD GET A CALL FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL AND NOW I CANNOT RENEW MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION. I HAVE CALLED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND I JUST GET THE RUN AROUND. I AM NOW GOING TO HA E TO PAY LATE FEES AND I MY TAGS WILL BE EXPIRED. THIS VEHICLE IS MY PRINCIPAL CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO WORK. WHO IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NOW.

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 JEEPS 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.

JERKING/LUNGING OF CAR DURING ACCELERATION UP HILL OR GOING DOWN HILL OR SOMETIMES TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP

ON MAY 11TH MY JEEP RENEGADE WITH 19,637 MILES DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NEVER RESTARTED. AT THE TIME, THE REASON WAS UNKNOWN AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS; LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF A BUY ROAD. IT WAS TOWED 5 HOURS LATER(ROADSIDE ASSIST THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE SUCKED TOO) TO AUTOLAND (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN AUGUST 2017) THEY HAD MY CAR FOR ALMOST A WEEK BEFORE THEY EVEN CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE CAR. ON MAY 17TH THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND WANTED PROOF OF VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. I BROUGHT IN PROOF OF 3 OIL CHANGES AND A TIRE ROTATION. I ASKED WHY I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND THEY TOLD ME IT DIDNT HAVE ANY COMPRESSION; I ASKED WHY AND JUNIOR SAID "I DON'T KNOW" ON MAY 23 I CALLED AND ASKED WHAT'S UP BECAUSE I AM RENTING A VEHICLE OUT OF POCKET AND I NEED A LOANER. JUNIOR SAID "I CAN'T JUST GIVE PEOPLE FREE CARS AND I DON'T HAVE ONE ANYWAY" I ASKED ABOUT THE STATUS OF MY CAR AND HE SAID HE HASN'T HEARD FROM THE WARRANTY PEOPLE YET. I TOLD HIM THEY HAD MY CAR FOR MORE THAN 10 BUSINESS DAYS AND THE NEXT CALL WILL BE FROM MY LAWYER. I GOT A CALL 10 MINUTES LATER SAYING MY ENGINE IS UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WILL TAKE 3 TO 5 BUSINESS DAYS TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK. WAS TOLD IT WILL BE READY ON THE 28TH. I CALLED ON THE 28TH AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN RECEIVED THE ENGINE (ALLEGEDLY) THAT IT WILL BE ANOTHER WEEK. HERE IT IS JUNE 4TH AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM YET. I CALLED JEEP CHRYSLER HQ AND THEY WERE SO RUDE AND USELE

SUNDAY, 2 JUN 2019 @ APPROXIMATELY 1900 ME AND MY FRIEND WERE RETURNING HOME FROM FISHING, GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A LIGHT GRAVEL ROAD INSIDE A WILDLIFE STATE PRESERVE. WHILE MAKE STARTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON ME WHICH MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO FREE THE STEERING WHEEL IN TIME TO TURN HARD RIGHT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE AND COMING TO A STOP INCHES BEFORE GOING INTO THE RIVER. MY CAR WAS HANGING OFF THE BANK WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF ROLLING OVER INTO THE RIVER, MY FRIEND AND I HAD TO EXIT OUT OF THE PASSENGER DOOR FOR THE FEAR OF A POSSIBLE ROLLOVER. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY WARNING LIGHTS (HILL ASSIST, ABS WARNING, ETC) AS EVERYTHING HAPPENED VERY FAST. I CURRENTLY HAVE A ACCIDENT CLAIM IN WITH MY INSURANCE AND THE JEEP DID SUSTAIN DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER FRONT TIRE. I WILL NOT KNOW THE RESULTS UNTIL TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY BUT FROM THE INITIAL LOOK, IT APPEARS THAT MY POWER STEERING FUILD IS LEAKING OUT AND ONTO MY AXLE AND ROTOR. AT THIS TIME IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BEFORE OR AFTER THE IMPACT INTO THE RIVER BANK. AFTER THE TOLL TRUCK PULLED ME OUT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME HOWEVER I WAS HEARING A FLIPPING NOISE COMING FROM MY DRIVER FRONT TIRE. I AM NOW VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AS THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS BODILY HARM. PICTURES WILL BE UPLOADED LATER AS I HAD LOST MY PHONE IN THE RIVER A D HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM FROM MY FRIEND YET.
