Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2016 Jeep Renegade

We have had the vehicle for less than a week. my wife commutes my disabled child to a state school every school day. while on her way home the vehicle in question shuttered and died while driving. she was able to get the vehicle off the road and onto a access road. the vehicle then would not start with several attempts. she then called me, who was at work, and i left to help check the car. with limited tools at my disposal, i checked for battery voltage and intake restriction. no problems found. i checked the instrument cluster for fuel and had 2 led bars with no low fuel "dummy" light. cycled to range till empty section and was showing 60 miles to empty. so i assumed fuel was not the issue, but didn't rule it out. since she had already driven 60 miles to this point, i assumed ignition was also not a issue. i then unhooked the battery to reset ecm/pcm. hooked battery back up and tried to crank again with still a no start. i then went with the easy route and obtained a fuel canister with fuel and added 1.5 gallons of fuel to the ...

Ambient outside sensor is not working properly and causing the air conditioning and my heater to not work properly. my outside temperature reads 131 degrees and its 43 degrees outside. this happen every time i drive it ,the whole time i am driving it now i have to replace the whole passenger side mirror which is going to cost 325.00 which i think is ridiculous.

The car stops and turns off while in motion. car lights turn on but engine will not turn on. had battery replaced twice. the car won't turn off even after pushing the button and exiting the vehicle. lights won't turn off . key fob is detected when not near and not detected when inside car. have gone to the extents of unplugging battery to reset computer after hours it will then turn on and work for about 1 week. with light issues in between. it's become a hazzard since the car will just turn off while driving and will not turn on even with a jump start from a tow truck. the car will become dead 100 percent. only lights turn in at times until battery gets drained out. then nothing works.

Car looses power steering and power and does not shut off and air bags are not on while driving

Multiple warning lights appear on the dashboard when starting vehicle while no problems exist. warning lights stay on at all times. chrysler has a recall number "t50" on jeep renegade 2017 models.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep renegade. while attempting to start the vehicle, several warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle failed to start. the contact stated that the parking brake, coolant hot, and air bag warning indicators were illuminated. after thirty minutes of attempting to start the vehicle, a tow truck company was contacted to have the vehicle towed; however, the tow truck driver was able to jumpstart the vehicle. the contact stated that the failure recurred once. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 62,000.

This truck has been a nightmare. the first year i had it i had to take it to the dealership 7 times because my emergency brake would randomly turn on. they finally figured out it was an electrical problem. last month i started the car and it was running like it had 150, 000 miles on it (it only has 42,000) and the service engine light came one. took it to the dealership and i was told on the phone the the o2 sensor was bad and i needed a tuneup... but when i refused to pay the dealership $700 for the work the story changed when i went to pick up the car. they then told me they broke the o2 sensor when replacing a fan that had been recalled. while driving o the highway yesterday every light on the dash came on. once i got home a turn it off and back on only the service engine light came back on. i have no clue what im going to do with this $35,000 lemon. i can only guess the car still has electrical issues or the engine is about to ...

For the last year on and off the warning lights illuminate( service air bags, parking brake, electronic throttle cable, check engine light, power steering light), etc. last week we were driving with the kids, went to park, got back into the vehicle, started it and all the lights started going off. my husband turned the key to off, pulled it out, and the car kept running. we brought it into the dealer only to have them replace the seatbelt. we got the car back and it happened again today. we were driving, all the lights kept going off, including the power steering light which turns off the power steering so we pulled into a gas station only to turn the key to the off position, pulled the key out and the car kept running. we called the dealer and brought it back in to be serviced. the car is dangerously unsafe!

Engine cooling fan was replace, paid $100 deuctible on lifetime warranty, was recalled later and fca denied refund of $100 even after dealer processed refund.

Electric fan assembly for the cooling system failed. burned up the electric fan, smoke pouring out of the engine bay. vehicle was in motion on a city street.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep renegade. the contact stated that the cooling fans were not working and the fuses would blow out, causing the engine to overheat. the contact had to pull the vehicle over and allow it to cool down. the dealer (c & c dodge chrysler jeep, 1305 pike st, building a, marietta, oh 45750, (740) 373-2928) replaced the fan and the fuse assembly. the manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. the failure mileage was 38,000. the vin was unknown. *as

Car hit 40000 miles and radiator fan started making squealing noise and now dosen't cut on at all. jeep has almost overheated because of this

I am concerned that key fob to our 2016 renegade does not work well at all. i have replaced the battery but still have problems locking and unlocking doors. i worry when the key fob takes a long time to open the doors i have to hover key fob over door handle to see if it reads it, this happens when i pick up the kids from school, or running to their game's and practices, and it happens on rainy days too. i can't get in my car and i worry for my safety and that of my kids because we're standing outside the vehicle waiting to see if doors will unlock. it doesn't make sense that we cannot get into our car. i have read that this is a recurring issue with key fobs. i need this issued resolved.

Fan rattles vehicle overheats ac not working notice all this when came to a stop and was idling.

Radiator fan making rattle noise. it has 36011 miles.
