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 ...
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.
