Problems with 2017 Jeep Renegade ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

On average, the 2017 Jeep Renegade starts to “feel” problems with the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM and its various aspects after 24 313 miles.

Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2017 Jeep Renegade

My check engine light came on and my engine started overheating. the radiator cooling fan just stopped working for no reason. it also blew out the relay amd fuse. i was told that this is out of warranty and a new fan assembly needs to be installed. the jeep is only two years old and has 39,232 miles on it. after researching this is i find out that at least 66 other 2017 jeep remegade owners have had their radiator fans go out at 40,000 miles. this isn't an isolated issue and the part has to be recalled. chrystler and jeep are unhelpful and unwilling to admit to the problem.

I've noticed over the past few weeks my jeep seems hesitant shifting gears, especially going from reverse to drive. this is an automatic transmission. last week, after backing put of the driveway and starting down the road, the vehicle stalled and read "park vehicle to shift". i had to stop in the middle of the road, and turn the car off twice and restart it in order to get her going again. luckily, as embarrassing as it was, the vehicles waiting on me were very polite and patient. this happened again yesterday evening. i backed out of my parking spot and turned onto the road. the vehicle stalled out and read "park vehicle to shift". i again turned the car off and went to turn it on. she sputtered and sputtered and the ect light popped up on the dash before she finally turned over and the light went away. i was going out of town that night and i was a little nervous about getting stranded. i did make it back home, but the next morning, she did the same thing. i made it down the street this time and she stalled out while i was stopped at the stop sign before turning 9nto a 4 lane highway. good thing she stalled out before i had pulled onto the highway. i followed suit and had to restart her once or twice and she sputtered and sputter which just broke my heart. my fuel was low this morning and we limped over to the gas station, she was shifting weird the entire time. i didn't turn her off because i was afraid she may not have turned back on. after getting gas, she started to run more smooth but she still hesitates to shift.

Car loses power while driving . this has happened 5 times withing 48 hours. one incident i was driving 60 mph on highway and the car lost power and i almost got rear ended by a truck. also oil pressure light came on twice for a second while turning corners and then went off. i had my oil changed and is not over miles. i am not sure if these two issues are linked,

I have had my car just under 2 year, purchased new. when purchasing the car i asked if they would install a remote start and was told to just take it to car toys. we did almost a year later. we are at 1 yr 10 mths and just over 26,00 miles. just recently the car stated stalling in the middle of traffic. i would have to put it in park to be able to start going again and then it lags to get going and quits shifting. the check engine light comes on and stays on. sometimes it flashes though several errors, too fast to read them all. i have had the car in to the original dealer 3 times and another dealer once. i was told it needed a computer update, the wiring harness needed fixed and other things. they said it was fixed the first3 times. this last time they are telling me it is the after market starter, they think. they cannot guarantee it will fix the problem but now they are saying nothing is under warranty. the after market starter has been on there 11 months without issue. the first time this happened was 9/26.19. the current date is 11/13/19. this is a safety issue. most times i have small children but have been luck to be by myself each time the car has stalled.

The 2017 wont turn off after you turned on and all the panel light malfunction. the car only turn off if i unplug the battery. according with the warranty of the car passed state law and it cant be replace which i think is crazy since any malfunction can happen and cause an accident. also the jeep wont turn off . the dealer doesnt know hot to fixed since no code is giving. i am afraid of using the car for my own safety and family, and all i want is a replacement.

Engine cooling fan was replaced at 50 thousand miles, codes show that that is malfunctioning the transmission threw codes dead battery. it locks up and doesn't want to start even after replacing the battery.their was two different sensors that threw a code. i've gotten a message to service the airbags.on everything i have told you the car was sitting still. except on the transmission, when it goes from 3rd gear to passing gear it shifts really hard. and it feels like it's going to stall out. i maintain regular oil changes .average of 1 per month. it's been well taken care of. at 50 thousand miles it started having a lot of little things go wrong. i feel like i bought a lemon and no one is willing to admit it.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. the contact was unable to start the vehicle. the vehicle was jumpstarted, but once the cables were removed, the engine would run for a minute and shut off. in addition, the power steering, brake, air bag, and ebd warning indicators illuminated. an independent mechanic came to the contact's residence, but was unable to duplicate the failure. the contact changed the battery, but the failure recurred. the contact called mike smith chrysler jeep dodge ram (located at 1945 i-10, beaumont, tx 77701, (409) 840-3560) and informed them of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,000.

I have had to take in my vehicle to our dealership twice within 2 months on the same issue. the car has been sputtering at idle and also when accelerating. when the car is traveling in between 25-30mph the transmission gets a hard kick, it almost feels as if you are getting hit from behind. they have replaced the throttle body, ignition coil, spark plug wires, and spark plugs. the vehicle is under 32,000 miles and is mostly driven in town, i feel it is unsafe to drive out of town because it shakes violently when traveling at 65mph or higher.

During various instances after starting the car in a stationary mode, the instrument panel gave warning of various lighting systems not working in random succession. right turn signal, left turn signal, parking light out, daytime running light out. this will go on for 30 seconds or more before it corrects itself. i also have had multiple experiences while in motion the warning safety lights/signals on the side mirrors become temporarily unavailable for no reason.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving at unknown speeds, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. in addition, the vehicle failed to shut off. the vehicle was towed to kendall dodge chrysler jeep ram (13355 sw 137th ave, miami, fl 33186), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 22,000.

Vehicle in motion, pull out of parking lot at low speed malfunction indicators lights indicated loss of turn signals and brake lights, stopped at gas station to check lights refueled upon starting vehicle no malfunctions were indicated.

The check engine light continues to come on as the right parking light, plate light, and right fog light continues to go out even after being replaced with a new bulb.

Purchased 4/20/2017 the problems began with the ac going out at 10000miles. the dealership didn't want to fix it told us to drive with the windows down. after arguing about our warranty we got a loaner. next they replaced the wiring harness 2 times. again, did not want to provide loaner had to complain for them to honor warranty agreement. then transmission skips and radio frequency hub was replaced twice while in the shop for 4 months from dec 14 2018 till around march 17 2019. steering module replaced due to the steering wheel in the center getting completely hot. complained about the transmission skipping still. check engine light always comes on. automatic start faulty. will attach all repair invoices. most recent! 5/6/2019, a monday the car was scheduled due to a recall on the fuel pump and the automatic start would not work. along with that when the car started the screen would flash warning signs: emergency break system, airbag system warning. the service department claimed to not have a loaner. however, friday 5/10/2019 i had not received a call back and on my way to take my daughter to school. the emergency breaks locked up while driving 70 mph down fm 1289 heading to port o'connor, texas from port lavaca, texas. i went straight to the dealership and demanded a loaner. the vehicle is clearly a lemon! however larry taylor, a service technician, told us "i value my life i would not drive this vehicle". paul perez service department manager said "i wouldn't put my family in that vehicle." then they demanded we bring the loaner back 5/17/2019 to pick up our vehicle. the vehicle according to them had a short circuit, this is the second time mind you, and made the emergency breaks engage and the seat belts malfunction. also, the airbags malfunctioned flashing warning as the breaks locked up. i could only select 3 options but seat belts needs to be checked.

My car begin sputtering, stalling when i pressed on the gas as if it was not getting enough gas, my indicator lights on the panel of the car would just start to go crazy causing the seatbelt sign to begin to ding and ding and ding, even though i had my seat belt on. i took the car to be looked at and was told that there is a recall on the vehicle that i should look up. i did and there were three recalls involving my vehicle, two of which related directly to the problems i was having. i contacted chrysler who said my vin number was not included in the recall. i asked how that is possible when exactly what i am experiencing is exactly what they listed. she told me to take the car back to the dealership have them check it out and if they determined that this was the problem then they would not to call and tell them that. i immediately contacted the dealer and spoke with service who explained why should they have to contact chrysler when it's not their problem. i said sir, i am only following instructions. he then went on to explain to me that well they could look at the car but it would cost me $230 to do a diagnostic. i asked why i would have to for that and he said "he has to pay his people". i made an appoint and took the car. when they called they worded everything in a manner that would remove me from the recall, however they then put "fuel injection" at the bottom. i inquired about this and was told that i am supposed to get my fuel injection cleaned 2 per year. i informed them i never heard of such a thing. he also told me it would close to $500 to get my seatbelf fixed "that is not even broken" and never did anything about the indicator lights. i was told that they needed to put my car "back together" which i also did not understand because i thought a diagnostic did not require that. now my engine light is also on and nobody will return my calls.

Changing gears is sometime not very smooth. the car seem to jerk or jump in to gear. it does not do this all the time just occassionally.

When i started my vehicle multiple warning lights came on showing that one daytime running light was out, right blinker light out, and the the license plate light. i shut the vehichle.off and restarted it. all warning lights remained. i then proceeded to drive to work. the rear license plate light warning continued to flash on and off as i drove.(this was very distracting) before i arrived to my destination all warning lights went off. all of my light were working upon my arrival. the next time i started the vehicle there were no warning lights and all went back to normal. i have no.idea why these warning lights were on or if the will return. note: vehicle was started using remote start before putting in run mode. warning lights did not come on until i put the vehicle in run mode. there is an open recall for this issue, but my vin number is not included

Malfunction lights on the instrument panel illuminate when there is no malfunction. while driving in heavy traffic, the instrument panel displayed a warning message indicating the left and right turn signals both front and rear, both brake lights, daytime running lights, and headlights were not operating. after pulling over, with the message still displayed, it was seen that every light was actually working properly. the same has happened regarding other warning messages in the vehicle where the problem did not actually exist. this problem has been identified as a recall with other of this same model of vehicle, but not with this specific vin

August 24th, 2018, trip to colorado, driving on highway, went to exit and the car stalled all the warning lights came on, took to dealership, they didn't know what happened, codes reset. milage 15000 march 27, 2019, turned on car, the radio didn't work and the mileage was flashing, turned the car off and let sit for a minute or two, turned back on, the radio still didn't work and the mileage was flashing. radio came back on eventually. drove home and the car was sluggish and not shifting like usual...so mad to to dealership and told them to not give it back to me until fixed. mileage 29800 this car was brand new when i purchased it february 2018. this should not be happening especially since you guys have been sued for the exact same things in 2015....is it going to take another class action suit to get you to pay attention????

Was driving this evening, and got about 2 blocks from my house. after stopping at a stop sign, and then continuing through, halfway through the intersection, all service lights came on (service electronic parking brake, service esc, service engine, service transmission), and then it said to shift into park while i lost power and had to coast to the curb. when i got to the curb, the lights next to the shifter (prnd) were flashing until i put it in park. i shut the car off, and when it came back on, only the service engine light remained. i phoned jeep, and they were going to have it towed to a dealership, but none were open, so i have to wait until the morning, and had to leave my car on the street, because if i went more than 10 feet, the power would go out again and would lose acceleration. there have been issues with transmission jamming into gear when slowing to a stop at a red light, and then accelerating when it turns green, and randomly idling rough. the engine code is u0001. if i had been on the freeway when it lost power, i would not have had time to get over to the shoulder and could have been badly hurt or killed if i got hit by another car.

I purchased this car new 0 miles since the first month, this automobile has had service after service, the first two months lighter wouldn't work, next month dealership had car for over a week would not start at all= new electrical panel, a few months later seat belts wont lock on back seat, next,hood wont open, then, needed new latch, now the car is 16 months old now hesitates to drive, who can go thought this with a car that is financed thought chrysler .i'm at the point i may just let them have it, im tired of the foolishness.

When vehicle is stationary idle engine jerks. when vehicle is moving and accelerating the jerking is persistent.

The trunk pop open if you have anything to close to it. after starting the car then driving the car will stall in the middle of the road. you have to put the car in park. and give it a few mins. then try to restart the car. then you can go. if you hit the radio buttons to fast it will turn the volume all the way up and will be stuck there till you turn off the car and reset the radio.

In motion upon decel/accel at a stop sign and then to proceed, the engine dies. you have to put car in park and re-crank, then try to proceed. no low oil indicator lights came on for any warning that my engine was low on oil or that my engine would do an automatic shutdown to save the engine. i was 2000 miles over my recommended oil change (i own this mistake) and was told the oil was found to low and that this particular engine was made to shut down to save it from burning up. however, no warnings, no indicator lights, just a shutoff of the power to vehicle upon slowing to stop and/or re-accelerate. trouble to think i would get in an accident because i did not know my oil was too low and should be looked at. so, major deal.... i had the oil changed and the dealer told me it was the type of 2.4 lt engine that was using in this particular jeep model. i get that, but no indicator light is troublesome. took it on monday the 11th to jeep dealer in cartersville, ga.

Steering lock up. on two occasions we've had the steering lock up on our 2017 jeep renegade trail hawk. fortunately, one happened at a stop sign and the other occurred when we dropped the vehicle off at the dealer for repair. when the steering locked up, our jeep was also experiencing illumination of multiple malfunction indicator lights. there is a safety recall (t50 / nhtsa 17v-485) that specifically addresses the malfunctioning indicator lights in the 2017 renegade. however, it only applies to renegades built from 9 jun 2017 through 18 jul 2017. unfortunately, our vehicle was built outside of this window and the service manager will not reprogram the instrument panel cluster unless it is in the vip as an open recall for this specific renegade. i have called jeep customer care twice on this issue and we still have no resolution.

Car suddenly accelerates or decelerates in all driving conditions. city and highway driving situations

Incorrect software combination/fmvss 101 if the malfunction indicator lamps illuminate at incorrect times, the driver may be unaware when a true malfunction occurs, increasing the risk of a crash. the display is showing that drl lights, left turn signal, right turn signal, and brake lights are out but they are not out, there is already a recall out on the 2017 jeep renegade but their is not one for my vin number but the same problem exist in my jeep. nhtsa campaign number: 17v485000

Body control module was replaced at 5000 miles. two weeks after the bcm replacement, the radio system froze twice in one week. two weeks later, oil pressure light came on then went off immediately after. at 6100 miles, car stalled at around 35mph, warning lights stated that the vehicle must be stopped in order to switch gears. the car was in drive and is an automatic. after this warning, the engine shut off, engine light came on as well as the etc light. turned the vehicle off, then restarted several times, with the same result. engine would not turn over, then after about 15 seconds, would turn on with the same warning lights. was able to restart and drive about 100 ft, engine sputtering and low power, could not get enough speed before stalling again. after restarting again, warning lights did not come on and vehicle drove almost normally for several miles at low rpm, some hesitation when accelerating.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving 30 mph uphill, the vehicle stalled and several unknown warning indicators illuminated. when the vehicle was turned off, all the warning indicators went away. the vehicle was taken to napleton clermont chrysler/jeep/dodge (15859 fl-50, clermont, fl 34711) and they found that there was no oil on the dipstick. the oil was topped off and the contact was advised to return for an oil consumption test. the vehicle was not repaired. also, in july 2018, the oil pressure and service engine soon warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle stalled while traveling uphill. furthermore, on march 24, 2018, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was taken to back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the total power control and total control module needed to be repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 34,800.

After doing front fender repairs at dealership. warnings came out and went to dealership to complain the issue. i was told lights are going out whereas the lights are fine.

Vehicle was in motion, the wiring harness wires melted into the fuse box.

Vehicle cuts off randomly while driving, has been taken lake keowee dodge for software update, but continues to have same issue. this issue happened about 3 months ago and cut off 5 times in one day on 8\10\18. this is extremely dangerous and there are no recalls as of yet.

My jeep has already went to the shop for a week because it stalled 8 times on the interstate in traffic while my family was coming home from vacation. our safty is extremely jeopardized by this. the jeeps are lemons and someone is going to be killed before it is acknowledged. it has started it again now! *dt no vin available updated 10/18/18*jb

On june 11th, 2 days after purchasing the car with just under 7000 miles we noticed the battery light on which disappeared about 10 minutes after driving it. today, june 20th, while driving on florida's turnpike at 72mph warning light came on, there was a beeping sound and the car seemed to lose power very briefly as if it was going to turn off. this could be a safety hazard especially on an interstate. i am also noticing sluggish acceleration at times.

I was sitting in my jeep parked idling waiting for someone to pick me up , when my ride show up turned off jeep and left. twenty minutes later the police called and told me the jeep was on fire and i needed to return to the vehicle.

Extreme hesitation upon acceleration and nearly stopping while trying to enter a freeway, twice. key fob issues, auto start issues, radio and blue tooth issues, tire pressure gauge reading issues. first service visit i was told it was just in need of a computer rest. second visit they said they found nothing wrong with it. third visit they initially said it needed a software upgrade until i insisted it was serious and contacted corporate. not only was i treated poorly but i was blocked from leaving a review. it was mentioned that engineers currently know there is an issue but are waiting until second quarter to publish it. i believe this is extremely negligent because it isn't just a faulty sensor light, the entire vehicle nearly dies while driving on a freeway, creating a risk for a fatal accident. i demanded records of all that has been done to this brand new auto, since issues first arose on 12/9/1027. from 12/9/2017-3/38/2018, i have had my car at the service center three times. and i just found the safety recall online, i have not been notified by jeep or the dealership yet as to this recall pertaining to faulty sensor alerts. i am unable to select from the above list but "wheels' and "elec stability control" were also affected.

Getting false warnings on instrument panel such as lights being that are still working, service electric park brake, sometime the service the electric park just intermittently comes on and goes off now it just stays on and parking break is functioning properly

Instrumentation lights flicker while driving on any roadway under any conditions. flashed taillight failure when no problem existed while driving on state roadway under normal conditions.

I decided to start the vehicle without using remote start due to extreme cold climate so i could warm it longer than remote start will allow. let it run for about 45 minutes and go to drive off and get up to 25-30mph and it stalled and made an extremely loud noise and rough vibration that made it feel like the whole engine or transmission fell out of the vehicle. all of the lights lit up in the dashboard and i had to struggle to steer it off the street by coasting it. proceeded to start it but wouldn't budge for a good 5-10 min until it finally started back up. immediately took it to the dealership and they connected the diagnostic tool to it and said nothing was showing up and there was nothing they could do about it. about a month later, it happened again the exact same way, took it to the dealership and this time they said every possible error code came up and were baffled. they wanted us to leave there at the dealership for 2 weeks before they could get to it and did not offer a loaner vehicle, we had to tell them that we needed it or a loaner for commute and so we had to keep it, they finally got to it and found out it was the ecm module, something to do with the drivetrain, they replaced it and it hasn't occurred again. since then, we have noticed more and more that the transmission has been shifting very hard making popping noises and jerking. we finally decided that something wasnt right and took it to a different dealership with a couple other things that have gone wrong with the car. we had to take it twice for them to figure out what we were talking about with the transmission. it is now scheduled for a total transmission replacement mid august, and i think it was caused by ecm module issue we had to deal with for a few months before it was taken care of. i am extremely disappointed in making a new car purchase because of all the issues we have had with it.

First breakdown check engine light and air bags light came on then the engine locked up and i could not switch gears and could not accelerate. second break down emergency break locked up and would not release and check engine light and check airbags came on again. third breakdown emergency break locked up and would not release again and the check engine light and air bags light came on again and could not switch gears. fourth breakdown would not start had to be towed turns out battery needed to be replaced. fifth breakdown engine stalled had to pull over and restart the car. sixth breakdown remote start the car did not start up and then would not start manually. seventh breakdown engine stalled again had to be towed would not start backup. 8th breakdown jeep was shifting really hard took to delaership now has to have transmission replaced. this car is a year and a half old and has had all these problems i just found out that jeeps that are 2017 and 2018 have recalls this vehicle has the electrical problem and the boby is falling apart. all of this has affected the gas mileage. all these break down were city streets and highway.

The 9-speed transmission causes the vehicle to lunge forward causing the vehicle to be unsafe. i would have rear end a dodge ram truck at a stop light; if my foot was not firmly on the brake. the lunging forward, and hard shifting happens randomly primarily on the downshifting, and when it's cold out. other issues: when using the washer solvent fluid the vapors come back through the cabin, making the cabin air toxic to breath. the front driver side rotor and brake pad had to be changed; because they were deemed defective due to finding metal debris in the brake pad at about 3,100 miles when i reported the noise at the first oil change. electrical: randomly the push start will not work, turn signal turning right will not work, and head lights would not automatically come on. this 2017 jeep renegade latitude 2.4l has less than 6,000 miles. the transmission, washer solvent, and brakes started before the first oil change at 3,118 miles; however, the washer solvent was not report until later when i found out it is toxic, and i only used it about 3-times, and turned the air off each time. all deemed unable to duplicate except for one time or normal for the washer solvent issue.

On 4 occasions now since owning my jeep renegade the vehicle will jerk, check enhine light comes on, and the vehicle will lock in 3rd gear. i try to switch to manual shift and will not shift. i purchased this vehicle with 50 miles, and now over 28,000 miles with reoccurring problems. on instance the vehicle light warning comes on indicating all of the lights are out in the vehicle, and the light build indicator will remain for a short period of time, and cut off. the dealership has replaced the transmission computer on the first instance, replaced the bsm on the second occasion, and since then 2 software updates. this vehicle is defective in some way and fca needs to address these ongoing issues that are a huge safety concern.

While both stationary and in motion on a highway driving under the speed limit specified to safely engage my 4wd lock and snow terrain would not work. also both the check engine light and the oil pressure fail warning light have turned on and off multiple times while both stationary and driving on the highway and the street. the sensor has been replaced once and has continued to relight. after researching online i have found that a recall has began called t50- incorrect software combination/fmvss101-2017 jeep renegade with an issues of faulty circuit panels having multiple indicator lights lighting up deeming it unsafe to drive since the driver would not actually know when they are truely at risk and could be invoked in an accident. my jeep as of yet is not showing up in the recall per my vin# yet i am suffering from the same issues as the recall. my manual states to not drive my vehicle while these indicator lights are on but my dealer has advised me to drive it anyway. the federal vehicle motor safety standard (fmvss) number 101, 'controls and displays. ' states vehicles with said issues fail to comply with their requirements.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. the contact stated that the vehicle exhibited numerous electrical failures. the oil pressure and engine indicators remained illuminated, and the four wheel drive lock button flashed while attempting to engage the four wheel drive system. stetler giambalvo family dodge, chrysler, jeep, ram (1405 roosevelt avenue, york, pennsylvania 17405, phone (888) 226-0954) updated the four wheel drive software system, but the failure was not corrected. the vehicle could not be driven in snowy conditions. the oil pressure indicator was also replaced, but the repair did not correct the failure. the oil pressure and engine indicators remained illuminated. the manufacturer was notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

Renegade engine suddenly shuts down within first mile after starting-up. happens daily whenever engine is cold. shut off on on-ramps, turns at at stops. very dangerous. instrument panel flashed all types of warnings, from "don't shift gear unless at a stop" to the engine light coming on for a short time. trouble began at 5800 miles

Dashboard indicated left rear turn signal out and then indicated right rear turn signal out and then indicated brake lights out on starting car and in motion. turn signal audible indicator was irregular. the situation only lasted a few minutes and then the dashboard indicator went out. i checked all light upon arriving home and they were and are now functioning normally..it's been a couple of weeks since this happened and my vehicle is not listed in the computer setting recall. should i be taking my vehicle in anyway?

The malfunction indicator lamps illuminate at incorrect times. engine stall. it stops and goes back and forth when gas is pressed. the backup camera blanks out and goes blue or the picture is not there at ali or extremely fuzzy.

On oct 10,2017 at 12:30pm my jeep renegade trailhawk 2017 4x4. at 60 mph with cruise on three was jolt,felt like a my vechile was it in the rear. te parking brake light and traction lights illuminated on the dash.

Radio power/adjust on own. multiple/random. headlights cut out driving in the dark. both sides effected. fog lights stay on. possible link to turning steering wheel, with or without use of turn signal-effect on both headlights simultaneously. turn signals not working intermittently (neither for lane change or turning, left or right.-multiple occurrences). tail lights- while backing into driveway one night i realized i had no lights in the back including reverse lights (only acknowledged this problem once by the reflection of my car in my husbands) all lighting issues occurred with lights turned to auto and vehicle in motion. emergency brake self engaged while in motion. after switching gears and before hitting gas and other times while driving at lower speeds. a message along the lines of-vehicle not on, shift to park and press run/stop button-has shown but only after turning off the vehicle does it show that the parking brake has engaged-multiple occurrences. passenger seatbelt sensor illuminates at random, nothing on seat (concerned for malfunction in the event of an accident) -have to press the stop/start button several times for the car to turn on (no response in the form of sounds or lights with each attempt prior to the one that starts the vehicle.-remote start:vehicle turns on > try to enter vehicle moments later--car will turn off with touch of handles or press to unlock button-"remote start disabled" -lift gate closed and audibly latched>lights flash, latch releases, door opens itself-may happen 1 or 30 times.check engine: thermostat replaced, key fob loses connection: warning "fob has left vehicle" while actually in cup holder, engages parking brake-only way to get rid of message/disengage brake is to power off/on. can drive with no keys in part of transmission repaired, radio replaced 2 times, transmission sticks/slams multiple other issues.

Electrical - multiple malfunction indicator lamps may illuminate on the instrument panel when no malfunction exists engine - it looses a quart of oil every 1000 -2000 miles, no sign of leaks.

Upon starting vehicle within garage with only 3,800 miles, dashboard warning messages indicated daytime running, tail, and turn signal lights not functioning (similar to earlier 2015 and 2016 issues searched on web). lights are physically operating with false warning messages - no bulbs out. at same startup, drivers side power seat not functioning at same time warning indicators seen for lights. seat inoperable and cannot be repositioned manually. upon fuse and relay change out for seat, warning lights did not reappear after restart of vehicle, however seat still non responsive and stuck in current full back position making it a hazard for a driver less than 6 foot tall to operate safely. next day, dealer was called and is unavailable to see vehicle for over one week. to try something different, vehicle was started by remote starter and power seat now functioning. probably a coincidence only that seat now works however vehicle to be taken to dealer for electrical troubleshooting.
