Thermostat failure code p0128 appeared and thermostat needed to be replaced. as this vehicle had recall on the cooling fan assembly, this failure is directly related to the malfunction of the fan unit.
Jeep renegade with only 40k miles (4k out of warranty) and engine coolant thermostat just stopped working. entire housing has to be replaced just to fix the one problem. the problem was made known via service light coming on with "service engine" message appearing on dash. the error code was deciphered as "p0128: coolant thermostat (coolant temperature below thermostat regulating temperature). it first appeared while driving on city streets at 40mph, and now appears at all times. this should not happen on a 3.5 year old vehicle.
After initial start car abruptly shuts off after accelerating a short distance. as to put car back in park restart and then put in gear.
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.
On two occassions while the vehicle was in drive operating on a two lane highway and remained in the drive position with the vehicle in motion the transmission indicator on the display shifted to neutral and the rpms revved without the accelerator pressed and the engine cut off. no codes or check engine lights indicated. the shifter remained in the drive position. the car had to be guided off the roadway and placed into park to be restarted. vehicle was slow to restart both times. both incidents occurred after entering a highway into the flow of traffic and accelerating and presented a danger to all drivers.

I was driving my 2016 jeep renegade latitude (2.4 liter) when the vehicle stalled on me. before it stalled i was stopped in what is referred to as a michigan left. once traffic was clear i started my turn and as i started to straighten out my wheel, a vehicle in front of me was turning right into a business. i applied my brakes and then started to push the accelerator when i noticed no response. i pushed a little more and realized the engine had shut off. i applied the brake and shifted the vehicle back to park and restarted the engine. there was a gas station near so i headed there. as i was turning right into the gas station (slight inclined driveway) i noticed a quick flash about oil. i parked at a pump and popped the hood to check the oil. to my surprise i was getting very little to nothing on the dip stick. i checked multiple times and it was the same reading. i just had an oil change on july 18, 2019. i hadn't even hit the next service date (5,000-6,000 miles) and there had been no leaks they i had seen under ...
While driving, warning light came up "shift vehicle to park" and car essentially goes into neutral. once pulled over, car couldn't be restarted for a few minutes and wouldn't shift out of park. when it finally did shift, the "shift vehicle to park" warning came up again. luckily, this happened on a local road and not a 70mph highway. happened 2 more times when car was started and attempted to shift to d and/or r and car wouldn't shift.
For the past week my engine stalls in the morning randomly while driving, when i'm about to turn and the dash tells me to shift into park. when re-starting the engine struggles and then comes on. it just happened when leaving work too. started driving out the parking lot and the car stalled. i see there is a recall for 2017-2018 jeeps for this same problem and multiple complaints for the 2016. luckily i've been on streets and off the highway and going slow enough that when it stalls i can throw on my four way flashers. but i'm scared it will stall while in heavy traffic or going fast.
The cooling fan failed and blew the fuse. the loss of cooling also caused the engine to overheat while on the freeway.
July 2018 first time it happened: i was in traffic flowing along on the highway at 70mph and it slowed to a crawl...stop and go at 5-10mph for about 15 minutes. road dry, sunny, about 92 degrees f. i had the ac on and the radio full blast. i was pulling forward to crawl along and it stalled. came to a complete stop. the message center says it's not running and hit the brake and the ignition button so i did, and it started and i moved out. happened again about 5 min. later. this time it didn't just start and i had to put it in park for a moment before it would start. lucky for me we were going slow enough that people worked around me. the third time i was moving along faster at about 20mph as the congestion was freeing up...it stalled again. it was scary, nothing works and i had to glide over to the emergency lane. dangerous. scary. i know the 2017 jeep had a recall for stalling due to a bfp. does my 2016 have this issue also? i am no longer under warranty and i can't afford to have it checked out. ...
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!
