My jeep renegade stalls when i make a slow speed turn. while making a left turn to get on the on ramp to a lah, the car dies. i almost got hit from behind by people trying to go up the on -ramp behind me. the car dies when making a left turn crossing traffic & i almost got killed. the traction control light blinks. these incidents take place on dry pavement. i now see other people having the same issues are posting complaints on the internet on a jeep forum. why has jeep / fca not addressed this ? this is a safety hazard as the car dies for no reason and you can not move the car. there should be a re-call on this. there are documented problems with this & nothing is being done! my car shuts down for no reason.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 jeep renegade. the contact stated while driving at approximately 55 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated intermittently for approximately 2 weeks. the vehicle was taken to riedman motors co inc, located at 610 n grand ave, connersville, in 47331, for a diagnosis. the contact was informed that the thermostat needed to be reset however, the failure recurred. the contact also stated that the issue caused the 4 wheel drive to become inoperable. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 33,000.
I have a hard time putting gas in the car though it was the pump but it's everywhere i go and it eats up a lot of gas. the electrical messed up sometimes it won't start i got a new battery and everything but the service people said it has to be electrical my keys never work i have to manually use key and lock the door from inside my gears the engine ideals high and car jerks sometimes when i'm taking off
The headlights were on too long while the engine was off causing a dead battery. no big deal i thought... i jumpstart the car per owners manual instructions (it has a complex battery so even though i've jump started many different vehicles i wanted to make sure there weren't special procedures, it ended up being pretty standard). when it died it was in a garage so i had to manually unlock the gear selector to put the car into neutral to push it into position for a jump connection. i put the car in park and let the battery charge up a while. once the car charged up enough, it started right up. at this point i thought i was in the clear, that's when the service engine light and service transmission light came on. the engine is running fine, transmission was fine before the battery died. not only that, but i could not move the vehicle. it was locked into park. i was blocking the road in my neighborhood while i was manually unlocking the gear selector, i finally get the car to shift into drive and tried to accelerate. only the engine would rev, no movement. try to reverse, same thing. at this point i couldn't get the car back into park. i push the car back into the garage to get it out of the way and go to turn it off. the renegade (push button start) will not let you turn the car off in any gear but park. it was stuck in neutral. after struggling more to force it back into park, i finally get it and was able to turn the car off. i'm lucky it didn't get stuck in d or r if it started working! i've never had such an experience jumpstarting a car and this is a huge safety concern. luckily i was strong enough to push the car back out of the way, otherwise it would be stuck there indefinitely until a tow came. i've read numerous other complaints of this in online forums. each one said a dealership had to reset the cars computer to make it work again.
This has been an on and off going issue. when the problem occurs, the check engine light comes on and then the car would stall in the middle of driving on the highway or streets. a warning appears on my dashboard saying to put my car in park in order to switch gears. sometimes it puts me in neutral when i'm at a street light. i'd have to turn my car off and restart it in order to drive again but it keeps happening. several times i try to take my car into the dealership and the check engine light would turn off and it would continue to work like normal until the next episode. it's been getting progressively worse and worse now.
2015 jeep renegade limited 4x4 has stalled while driving on 3 separate occasions since purchasing it used from dealership in january 2019. it stalls while in stop and go traffic without any warning. i have to put in park, push the start button to turn it off, and then push the button again with foot on break to start it again. thankfully this has only happened while driving slowly (10-15 mph) in a line of cars towards a stop sign however this is extremely unsafe!
I got up to get ready to go to choir rehearsal my jeep would not crank, and the key was stuck in the switch, it took almost 30 minutes to get the key out, finally the jeep cranked but i could not get the gear to go into reverse, drive or nothing, and on the dash board where it tells you how many miles you have on the automobile it was blinking and also on the dash board it say service transmission.. i have read on your site as i was searching to find out why this is happening, so many of these jeep seem to do this when they reach 40 thousand miles. i am grateful that i was not on the road because the day before this happen the jeep seem to have lost speed ifor a brief moment, this is very dangerous something need to be done about this.
The engine over heats at high speed for an extended period of time say 70 to 80 mph or going up grades at speed or pulling a small trailer. i have had the jeep checked several times at the dealership and they say everything is fine but this is dangerous to say the least especially in heavy traffic. mechanic said this is a normal complaint on this model jeep! this has been a constant problem since i bought this vehicle new!!!! no photos are necessary! this date is just the last time it has stalled but i was with my wife in heavy traffic which concerned me! for her safety!!
Car will fail sporadically to accelerate while trying to merge into traffic i was almost hit by other vehicles more than once i've talked to others with the same car and all of them described the same exact experience it's only a matter of time before someone is killed.
It started as a wobble type noise coming from the engine compartment a couple days prior. suddenly my check engine light activates and i notice a change in my ac. on my way to detroit my temp gauge reaches max, thus illuminating a red temp warning. i quickly found a pay-to-park lot near my destination. while allowing time for the engine to cool down, i googled my engine light and overheating issue. returning to my vehicle i was able to quickly diagnose a well known issue involving a wobbly cooling fan and a blown 50a fuse. fortunately the night cooled and i was able to return home without ac nor the aid of an operating cooling fan. my stories similar to countless others. i've seen one video claiming a recall fix posted last month. it appears a shield has been added...i believe that'll definitely fix the poorly engineered issue involving the proximity of the fan to the exhaust manifold.
Excessive oil consumption . 30000 miles in the engine and it goes through oil more often than the recommended oil changes. major accident issue, caused by engine stallings due to unexpectedly low oil. engine stalled while driving 65mph on the freeway
Transmission hesitates so badly going into second gear that i am constantly almost rear ended, and being screamed at by other motorists, especially in traffic. if you're not at a complete stop, it's not as badr. but forget it if you have to stop for over 3 seconds. traffic and parking lot seems to be the absolute worse (if you're keeping it at 15 mph or under it seems. first they replaced the valve body, then 2 trans mounts, all at a cost to me, before they decided to replace the trans. transmission was supposedly "replaced" under warranty, but has only gotten worse. also, now having engine replaced, because it burns 3 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. less than 50,000 miles on this car.
I was driving on the highway when my check engine came on. when i pulled off the highway my car started over heating. my fan seized and the car kept overheating.
Cooling fan is malfunctioning as many others apparantly have. the engine will overheat if at rest or making frequent stops (city driving).
Radiator cooling fan assembly quit working, vehicle overheats when stationary or during city driving.
Check engine light is on had code read p0481. found cooling fan assembly locked up.
11/23/2015 vehicle engine malfunctioned, overheated and stopped working while driving on the highway. vehicle had to be towed to dealership. dealership replaced engine and related parts and i picked up on 12/17/15. mileage 2,411 1/1/2016 engine started making a whining sound and the ac stopped blowing cold air. mileage 2,958 9/27/2016 rattling sunroof and transmission was lunging when coming to a stop. 9/14/2017 vehicle overheated while driving turns out was the cooling system expansion tank. 1/22/2019 keyless entry light came on while driving in the city . mileage 25,601 6/4/2019 vehicle overheated and stalled while driving in the city and had to be towed to dealership. turns out ac compressor failed causing additional broken parts.mileage 26,777

While i was driving on the interstate, going 70 mph, my car stopped running and said there was an error. i had a family member help me load it up and take it to the dealership. they told me that my fuel sensor malfunctioned and showed me that i had gas however my car had no gas. i had to purchase an entire fuel pump since the sensor is integrated within the pump. my mileage was 36,000 now my radiator fan assembly needs replaced as it is going out. i am at 41,000 miles now. i noticed a weird noise coming from the motor area while i was idling. i noticed
Just bought this used - good condition except that it literally "lunges" forward when you accelerate, typically going from 1st to 2nd gear. there is a definite hesitation between the time you press the gas pedal and the time it takes to move forward. when taking a left turn into cross traffic i have to make sure i have extra time to account for the loss of acceleration.
So, i have had my 2015 jeep renegade sport front wheel drive for almost 3 1/2 years. i have had issues with the jerking of the shifting of my car when i drive, this has been going on since summer of 2017, i bought my renegade new february 2016. winter 2017 it started revving too high when stopped at the stoplights or at a stop sign. then at the beginning of november 2018 my check engine light pops on and i took it right away to auto zone so they can run diagnostics and came to find out that my thermostat went out, my car just rolled over 38,000 miles, my warranty was up at 36,000, i had to shell out over $500 to replace that, i'm glad i did because i live in the midwest in the quad city area on the illinois side and our coldest day was 55 below 0. then just today, june 1st, 2019 my radiator cooling fan motor went out all of the sudden. i was at sam's club, turned my car on and check engine light popped on again and it started to overheat and again made my way over to auto zone and they ran diagnostics again and as soon as i got in my car my air conditioning went out and called my mom and told her what was wrong with it, called my dad, then it started to completely overheat and the warning popped up and i called my dad and my older brother took the phone and told me to turn the heater on in my car to draw heat away, it worked and i made it home to port byron, il without having to pull over because my brother told me to turn the heater on and roll the windows down and lots of prayer helped get me home safely.
Radiator cooling fan seized up, producing black electrical smoke which consequently caused the vehicle to overheat. this happened stationary on a stop light.
The heat in the vehicle was coming out cold. car began overheating and temperature rose to over 220. car began to overheat. had to pull over on the highway and turn off the vehicle for 25 minutes to allow it to cool. this happened twice. check engine light came on. brought to a mechanic who ran a diagnostic and the cooling fan was failing. mechanic stated when the code was put in the jeep renegade was the first vehicle to pop up. this should be a known mechanical recall. car only has 50,000 miles on it and the fan should not be failing.
i was driving on the freeway and my car started losing power then started jerking and shaking the car. i couldn't speed up, i could hear the engine revving up but nothing. i had to pull over and turn off car and start back up, i still couldn't hit 60mph i the freeway so i got off the freeway and took the streets home. when running the car under 30mph the car was fine but once i hit the higher gears my car would shake or just down shift on its on.
Intermittently, the power steering would go out and service airbag light would come on dashboard. after several times restarting the car, the car power steering would continue to go out and light come on. after about 4 hours, the car was turned off on a city street, all running lights and radio stayed on, keys were removed, and car was completely unresponsive to keys, key fab, or buttons on door such as power locks/ windows. car was towed to dealership for service.
Takata recalled
Information about the vehicle: 2015 jeep renegade sport 2wd, highway miles minimal stop and go, maintenance is on time through the dealership, zero accidents. i noticed a whining sound in the engine compartment while the vehicle was stationary. the temp is typically 198-201 the temp climbed to 223 at highest. while the vehicle is in motion the temp reverts to 198. arrived home, opened the hood while engine was running to duplicate the issue the fan motor started to whine but not move.
Service engine light came on, code p0128, faulty thermostat. seems to be a common problem.
The engine coolant fan keeps burning out, having my second fan replaced at 62,000 miles.
Thermostat check engine light is on and need replacing and car has less than 54000 miles on it..while car was in motion.
The vehicle switched gears on its own, couldn't recognize when i tried to put it in park or any other gear, and stalled out on me. now shows that the power steering needs to be serviced.
Multiple times since owning this vehicle the past 7 months, i have had to get 3 oil changes and top off the oil many times in between, which is much more than the manual states is necessary. this vehicle burns through or loses oil too quickly, which causes the vehicle to turn off while driving (in motion) which is a huge safety concern. it often turns off going up or down hill, and after or mid turn (what little oil is remaining shifts) on city streets. my car has turned off itself in the middle of traffic more than a dozen times. sometimes it takes a couple minutes before it will turn itself back on. like mentioned, this has occurred more than a dozen times since may 2018 (purchased vehicle in march 2018). between 10/29 and 10/31, it occurred 9 times. if necessary, i have documentation of the frequency of service needed.
Bought my jeep brand new 2015 jeep renegade in october 7,2015. my radiator fan is not working and the car is starting to over heat. at first kept hearing a loose dragging noise before leaving to the store from my house and i poped the hood open of my car and i saw the fan not working to cool the car down when the temperature of the car was going up. so i called the dealer to make an appointment for monday for them to check out the cars issue. my car only has 31,000 miles. i have also taken my jeep to the dealer this same year for them to replace the thermostat. my check engine light is now on. this should be recalled it's not safe and it's dangerous for any vehicle to operate with any malfunction in the engine compartment especially for a brand new car not even 5 years and the radiator fan is already broken.
Jeep is burning oil and coolant between oil changes. need to add oil at least every 2 to 3 week and coolant monthly. no warning lights have ever come on indication the vehicle is low, it has not over heated. have found jeep to be upto 3 quarts low on oil and no coolant in reservoir. no signs of leaking of any kind. have noticed a distinct smell of burnt oil after long drives. when adding oil and coolant today i found a pink frothy residue on all the house joints for the coolant. why am i not getting any warning lights and where are these fluids going to. there is distinct metal sound when the engine is running now. i addressed the oil issue with the deal the last time it was in and i was told i just need to add oil periodically that "all vehicles" periodically need oil. i have never had this issue with any other vehicle i owned.
I went out to pick up dinner.i left the vehicle running when i went into the restaurant, came out two minutes later and noticed a really weird rattling/revving sound coming from under the hood. i popped the hood and the whole radiator fan and housing was wobbling and had a terrible electrical fire smell. i was thankfully able to get home,which was only five minutes away, but as soon as i got in the driveway the message "service engine" came onto the screen.i popped the hood again and the fan locked up and is no longer spinning. i see i'm not the first with this issue...can we please get a recall?this is very dangerous.
Besides the numerous problems i have had with electrical issues, etc. when i bought this new 2015 renegade, i am now on 55,000 miles and the motor fan is going out. when the fan comes on you can hear the bearing grinding which progressively has gotten louder and is impossible to ignore. my best friend bought the same make and model and her fan just went out leaving the vehicle overheated and her stuck on the side of the road. it's not like jeep is not aware of this issue since there are numerous online boards and youtube videos on how to replace the fan if you can't afford the $600+ to have the dealership do it if you are out of warranty. i am just out of warranty and my husband just had bypass heart surgery so our plans to have him replace it are out and i can't afford to have it fixed with his medical emergency so it is parked as i live in a rural area and can't afford for it to strand me on the roadway. this is my 3rd and last jeep. it has been a piece of crap.
Engine overheated rapidly while driving, similar to these other complaints http://m.carcomplaints.com/jeep/renegade/2016/engine/engine.shtml
Was driving on city street when realized that air conditioning had stopped cooling. saw that heat gauge level was completely into the red (highest) reading. message appeared warning that there was a cooling issue. was able to pull into a parking lot and had aaa tow car to a garage. it was found that the radiator motor fan had stopped working, resulting in full replacement of that as well as thermostat. cost was $866.55! online research has shown this is a common issue with this model of jeep.
2015 jeep renegade sport 4x4 2.4l 52,000 miles. noticeable fan noise and vibration from electric engine cooling fan, the then vehicle overheated, service engine light came on. service 4x4 light came on, and 4x4 functions failed and could not switch the 4x4 functions. error code:p0481 fan control circuit. failed relay switch. effecting drivetrain failure with the 4x4 system, cooling fan failure, stalling of the vehicle, and engine damage from overheating. this is a serious issue known to the manufacturer and dealerships that needs to be resolved and recalled for the obvious safety issue. cooling fan fuse blown (50amp @ location f05).
Cooling fan failed around 40,000 mi
Driving on interstate when jeep renegade unexpectedly started to cut off. it felt like it was shaking and shuddering. got off at exit and vehicle continued to act like it was going to cut off, especially when stopped at a light or stop sign or when making a turn after stopping. made it home. turned it off and then back on. check engine light on. there was no advanced warning lights on the dashboard prior to the jeep unexpectantly slowing down. there was no burning smell. i had the vehicle towed on monday, august 20, 2018 to jeep dealer in lewisburg, wv. they say it could be a week before they are able to look at it and i am without a vehicle. i wanted it taken to a virginia dealer who could look at it sooner but roadside assistance said the wv dealer was closer.
I was driving the coolant temp too high went into the red and i had to have the vehicle towed.after speaking with the mechanics at jeep.the cooling fan broke. has to be replaced 40,000 miles on vehicle. and a fuse amp is blown as well.on carproblemzoo.com there are over 30 complaints about the cooling fan breaking or stop working. http://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/renegade/cooling-fan-problems.php the company refuses to reimburse when the vehicles are less that 60,000 miles or less than 3 or 4 years old.
Fan stopped working causing car to overheat and smoke while idle. cannot drive the car. also have had a problem with the day time running light blowing out. had the light fixed three times in a few months and blew a fourth time. took it to the dealership every single time and it's currently out bc they obviously don't know how to fix it so it's a waste of time.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 jeep renegade. while driving 15 mph, the vehicle jerked and stalled. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (family chrysler dodge jeep ram, 6735 essington ave, philadelphia, pa 19153, (215) 492-8600) where it was diagnosed that an oil change was needed. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was contacted. also, while driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal squeaking noise and stalled. the contact noticed smoke emerging from the grill area and oil leaking onto the ground. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that there was no oil in the vehicle and the engine may need to be replaced. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. the failure mileage was 14,000.
The coolant fan went off track and started squealing and getting stuck, causing the fuse to blow. within a month, and after replacing the fuse 3 times, the fan motor stopped working and burnt up completely. attempted to replace it with another fan, and it blew the fuse again and burnt up the new fan motor also. also, within the last month (today being 9/20/2018) my car has been jumping and shaking when in drive mode. mainly occurs after speeds of 40+ mph have been reached and when vehicle has been driven for a longer length of time.
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.
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 engine died while making a left-hand turn on a 5-lane street at night. at 37450 miles, the engine died in the morning while making a right-hand turn on a main road. all of these instances occurred without any warning (other than "vehicle not in shift to park" after engine cut out) and without loss of electrical systems. i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.
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.
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.
