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.
My 2015 jeep renegade has a defect . the key has gotten stuck in the ignition numerous times since i first bought it new. it is an ongoing safety issue. i can't just walk away from my vehicle whenever this happens because it can get stolen. i still don't know how to fix this problem though i try everything, even starting the car again and driving it around for a little longer. even the car service personnel have complained that they can't get the key out.
Doors will not lock / unlock with key fab. lights flash as if locking but dont lock. jeep remains open and vulnerable to theft without you knowing.
Returning home on highway christmas day. car would not accelerate. was stuck in a low gear. had to be towed home.
My oil change is not even due and i get alarm of low oil, when this happened the vehicle stops, and don't start, i was turning and it just stopped i culd had been hit by any car coming
Shifter/gear on 2015 jeep renegade is stuck in park. cannot take car out of park. car starts but cannot move it due to gear shirt being stuck in park. this may be a manufactors defect. check vin but no recalls came up. our mechanic mentioned there may be a recall on this car due to faulty shifter.
When turning on car all warning lights came on and then each one started flickering one by one. then my transmission light and warning message came on. car would start but locked itself and couldn't shift gears . i tried unlocking it and shifted to reverse it would not accelerate and would get stuck in that gear so had to manually unlock and shift to drive and couldn't accelerate. couldn't turned it off gear shift would lock itself. happened while heading back home. so i took it to the dealership and saw the recall for transmission. they ended up doing something else that i didn't say yes to now they are charging me for it and while my car was getting repaired. they gave me a loaner car, i get in car accident in their loaner car i had insurance but only liability. dealership won't give my car back until i pay in cash a deductible of 2,500 and plus repairs i didn't agree to.
The ignition when turned off will not release the key. pushing in then out does not release. pulling only does not release. car must be turned on/off several times and you will eventually get lucky. additionally, when trying to start vehicle, key will often not turn in the ignition despite wheel not being locked. again, must put in pull out repeatedly and turn wheel, which is difficult when car is off, and eventually get lucky.
This jeep with approximately couple months of purchase the whole computer system went blank and had to be replaced. there was also a recall for some part.then then the battery and some other part had to be replaced. soon after the engine mount. then the vehicle overheated and had to be towed to the dealer. now again the coolant system is over heating again, took it to pep boys and they can't seem to detect the problem i am taking it to the dealer tomorrow. but we received a letter over a year ago stating that this model of vehicle is back in warranty since there seem to be a problem with those vehicle. now i hope i can get this letter to take to the dealer. this happens when the vehicle is in motion.
I am on the freeway in traffic at a full stop, and the car doesn't turn off, but it won't move when you put your foot on the gas. makes no noise like it is off. have to put in park and restart the car. it has done this 3 times since i have had the car.
Takata recall. my key keep getting stuck in ignition and my jeep will not go into any gear. it will sometime crank, but it take forever to get the key out. my jeep is still new and it is my own means of transportation. it is at 40 thousands mile. .no matter what i do i can not get it to leave out of park.
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.
It was working fine then out of no where the transmission light came on and all the emergency lights started flickering. the shift gear won't move and it won't accelerate when its in drive. car shakes when shifting gears.
Was driving to newnan, ga on highway when car jumped into neutral causing car to slow almost ending in a rear-end collusion. i am a cancer patient and drive from brooklet, ga to newnan ga for treatment. also was told my vehicle is recall due to the coolant system not working properly.
There's is no alternative to the windshield and jeep has them on backorder since 2018. it's been over a month and jeep cannot provide release date. this is a huge safety and visibility issue
My garage has a slight incline. when i put the car in reverse, it jerks back and forth until i apply the brakes. also when it shifts into second gear, i feel a slight hesitation and a hear a clunking sound.
9 speed autonamic transmission - can shift into neutral with no warning - can cause an accident and even death - i drive everyday in san antonio texas where speed liit is 60 mph to 75mph
I was driving my vehicle when i was getting notifications on my dashboard of different things from torque to transmission. the vehicle then suddenly stalled while i was in the middle of the road. i was at a red light thankfully. i turned my vehicle off/on, then as put the vehicle in drive, i could hear a loud bang and then i drove into a parking lot.
Car shifted into neutral from drive. happened while i was exiting starbucks into traffic
Key sticking in ignition switch. 2015 with less than 6000 miles on it. stuck once during test drive with salesman onboard. stuck when another salesman moved it for picture taking event. lost track of how many hours and trips to the dealer trying to find a solution. talked to owner,previous owner,business manager,parts dept,half a dozen mechanics and shop associates,and even getting bs from the shop manager. last time he told me the previous owner had no such issue. i asked him if he was suggesting i was a lier! no responds. at that time
Vehicle shut down after taking a left turn and when stopping at a stop sign.
Sun visors will not stay up on both sides.
My car delays to shift. you can feel this going from reverse to drive or simply trying to pick up speed on roads with high speed limits. or from pressing brake to pressing gas. (not stepping on gas hard) it has jolted many times making it feel as though someone hit the back of the car. this has been an on going issue. but will use the date when my car turned off by itself. my car turned completely off by itself while i was driving.
My vehicle will stop going down the road and tell you to shift to park. then will not crank for several mins after this. this has been happening for several months.took the vehicle into service department and was told they updated the transmission module and here we are several months later with the same issue. this is dangerous and someone could be killed
Radiator fan is melting from the heat of the engine. this issue is widespread and there are tons of videos on the internet and complaints? the replacement has a heat shield. sad i have to pay to have it installed.
My check engine light came on and disabled my 4wd. all it needed was a thermostat. they told me anytime the service engine light comes on it will disable the 4wd. it doesn't matter what turns the check engine light on it will disable the 4wd. i tried going through the dealer, jeep, fiat, chrysler. they told me there was a safety issue and it would disable the 4wd. i told them i bought a jeep for it's 4wd capabilities. the check engine light should only disable 4wd if it is a drive train problem. they told me if the weather was bad i should stay home. what good is a 4wd if you can't depend on it. jeep is rated off-road. i can't find any help in this matter. all it needs is a change in the command module.
Car was sitting idle with family in it and air conditioner on. car began to smell like burning rubber and cold air turned warm and humid. radiator fan failed. blew 2 fuses. needs to be replced after only 27000 miles.
Indicator light for right turn signal out, left turn signal out, daytime running lights out, brake light out and parking lights out cycled while the car was in motion. all lights are working properly. turned car off and back on again, all lights disappeared. researched that other renegades have had this issue, but only 2017 models were recalled.
Several instances of key not releasing from ignition. this is safety issue because you cant leave your car parked in public without risk. supposedly an issue mentioned by previous owners of this vehicle.
The fan to the engine seems loose and is making noise.
43,xxx miles and my cooling fan has failed.
Radiator cooling fan making noise, getting stuck. my car stalled and lost power causing to decelerate.
Transmission may not be working correctly the date is a rough estimate but it has been doing something weird like jumping when you put it into reverse and then drive so another person toliyme it may be transmission recall on it so i'm just checking
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
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.
Check engine error p0481, cooling system not working, thermostat temp increase when idle
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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 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.
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.
The cooling fan has come loose and appears to be near failure, which has prevented me from operating the vehicle. the vehicle is only two years old with 27,000 miles and appears to be a widespread issue with this model; this should not be happening in a vehicle this new!
On october 12th the car started making an odd noise driving in the city (never off road). i didn't drive it again until october 14th and it was making the noise again. we were trying to drive to the dealership but the car started smoking near the engine compartment and we drive it to my mechanic. he said the fan had stopped working. we called the arrigo dealership in fort pierce who said i need a fan assembly unit and needed to pay $263 upfront. the part is on backorder and should take 1-2 months but may be longer. once it is delivered it would cost $260 for labor. since my car has 49,000 miles on it and the warranty ended at 36,000 the repair isn't covered and no loaner car will be provided. also, do not drive the car to prevent engine damage. what? so my mechanic called around to find the part elsewhere. he spoke to schumacher jeep and the service department said it is a know issue and asked my mechanic if he would like to be put on the waiting list. when he asked how long the waiting list is, the gentleman replied there are approx 4700 parts request before us and there is no eta at this time it could be 1-4 months. this is utterly ridiculous. when i search the net, there are soooooooo many similar issues and jeep is saying this is not a recall. have you seen this site? http://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/forum/434-problems-issues/68882-radiator-cooling-fan-issue-thread.html
When i'm driving my vehicle will not speed up. i press on the gas and it keeps going at the same speed. when i brake it pulls, like if i was repeatedly pressing and letting go of the brakes. the wheels have worn out twice, having had new cars before and driving the same roads and distance i know this is not normal. i have fixed my breaks once wich is unusual for how new this car is and now my breaks are making squeaking noise.
Radiator fan shorts out causing a possible fire risk. mechanical burning smell filled the car .
While accelerating to pull out of a full stop at a stop sign intersection i pressed the gas but the car didn't move. it felt like it was almost in neutral or had stalled completely. after double checking the car was in drive and checking my dashboard for errors, i put the car in park, and then shifted back to drive and it began moving finely with the gas pedal. the event was scary however because for that moment as i was pressing the gas pedal while the car was in drive, the car wouldn't move at all. this could have been dangerous had i been on a busier road. the car had been turned on and running for 2 minutes prior to this event occurring. i was pulling out of a grocery store parking lot.
