When i am driving my 2017 jeep renegade, which has an automatic transmission, the car will occasionally stall while the car is moving. a message will show on the dash that says 'shift vehicle to park' or something along those lines. i will go from driving normally, to having 0 rpms while i'm still moving. i turn the car off. i wait a minute. i try to start the car and it won't start, it just keeps cranking. eventually, and after many failed attempts and fear of ruining the starter, i manage to get the car started, but barely. when it does finally start, i wait a few seconds and am then able to drive again normally. this has happened more than several times now in the past year. it is also worth noting that i schedule my vehicle for regular oil changes as recommended, but i often get an oil pressure low warning, sometimes right before the vehicle stalls. i often have to add quarts of oil to my vehicle, even with regular oil changes. i drive an average of 12,000 miles a year and i do not abuse my vehicle. when researching my problem i came across two ...
My son was driving home - city street - it was snowing and icy - the car stalled out and he swerved to the right jumped the curb and ran into a pole and tree.*dt*tp i have read several complaints for this vehicle in stalling out as well as recalls. the issue is supposedly repaired but it comes back doing the same thing. due to this accident this has caused us to have body work to be done as well as other issues. the most important issue is my son could have been killed.*jb *dt*tp
Started having problems with the car shifting very hard at random times and at various speeds while driving. dealer said there was no problem the first time we had it inspected and could not reproduce it at the shop. we continued to have these problems and started to hear our valves knocking so we checked to oil. the oil was two quarts low and barely on the dip stick. we were only midway through oil change and we only service our car at the dealer. we took car to dealer and they said that using a quart of oil every 2000 miles is normal. it may be normal for this car but it is not normal for any car we have ever owned. it is unacceptable that they did not inform us at oil changes that we were having trouble maintaining our oil levels. this would eventually cause our car engine to fail and create a safety hazard while driving as the engine could turn off from lack of oil. this is unacceptable for jeep to keep this manufacturing defect a secret because the research i have done has shown that this is a systemic problem with this vehicle.
Transmission keeps skipping every 30mph increment. now my car out of nowhere shuts off. it's happened now 3 times in a matter of a week. i will be driving and it doesn't let me accelerate and it asks me to put the car in park and turn it back on. when i try turning it back on it takes 3 times before i can start it back up.
Loss of power when driving for a few seconds.took it to the shop 3 times the 3 times came back the same.
Auto trans, periodically on same trip, coasting down speed, clicking noise @28mph mostly but other speeds does it too. had to dealer yesterday, reprogrammed module transmission control (tcm) and drive train control module (dtcm) started around 17000 miles (current mileage 19,500). took short drive today, and 1 click at 25mph while stopping at stop sign. back to work tomorrow and i will start noting the clicks.
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 ...
The vehicle loses power while driving. slows down as the gas peddle is depressed then abruptly begins to speed back up. the transmission also jerks sometimes while increasing or decreasing speed. while driving on the highway.
Vehicle at first was not turning on then the following day on my way to work it stalled in the highway i was pressing the gas but it just wouldn't accelerate. it was extremely dangerous could have cause an accident. just on side note i just bought this car from a used car dealership about 2 months ago
Gas pedal/acceleration will not engage when vehicle is in reverse, in a certain circumstance. this happens every time after i first start the vehicle, place it in reverse, and coast/roll backwards (out of my driveway, into the road, into traffic). slamming my foot on the gas pedal results in no acceleration, so i just roll slowly into the road. vehicle will accelerate normally after i then shift to drive. not being able to quickly accelerate in reverse when leaving for work every morning is an obvious safety concern. i took this to my dealership, and they were able to replicate the issue. they then tested this issue on 2016 renegade, 2017 renegade, and 2018 renegade. the 2016 and 2017 renegades had this same issue. the 2018 renegade reportedly did not have this issue. my dealership spoke with a jeep engineer that has investigated this issue before, and tried replacing the entire transmission system as a solution. that didn't fix the issue, so the engineer claims that it's "working as designed." clearly it's designed unsafely. i have included my dealership's notes indicating that they were able to reproduce the issue and my (and other) renegades. ...
Fuel pump module: issues addressed by recall remain unresolved. was told by dealer that there was a part available, then had our appointment cancelled because they had run out. driving the car with this issue is dangerous as the car tends to stall when accelerating onto a highway or when making a turn. we have barely avoided accidents on several occasions due to stalling, including one with a semi-truck. engine: hard idle when cold. engine rattles loudly. power train: when car is accelerated to 30 mph range, it "hiccups" or jerks when accelerator is pressed. we have taken the car in for this issue numerous times, but every time we are told that the "computer isn't picking anything up" and problem remains unresolved.
Cooling fan went out some electrical power outlets weren't working oil change signal light won't reset when making turns car skids and the 4x4 control kicks in vehicle is shaking, engine problem
Jerking/lunging of car during acceleration up hill or going down hill or sometimes taking off from a complete stop
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. when the contact attempted to start the vehicle, it shook and the engine seemed to rev on its own. after some time, the vehicle adjusted itself and operated normally. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the vehicle was included in an unknown recall. the failure mileage was 25,000. the vin was invalid.
I purchased my 2017 jeep renegade brand new at the end of january 2018. i was told to bring my car in at 5000 miles for an oil change. right before my oil change was due, while driving in a parking lot, i made a turn and saw a low engine pressure light and then my engine turned off while driving. my husband & i met with the jeep dealer and the shop manager said the engine was just "breaking in" and used up the oil. this wasn't something we had heard of before. they did an oil consumption test and after all that was done, they said it was fine and it wouldn't happen again. i've taken my car in like clock-work to have the oil changed. this week, with still 300 miles to go until my next oil change, my low oil pressure light came on and my car turned off while driving down a hill on a busy main road. the dealership is telling me again "this car just uses oil". they confirmed i was 2.5 quarts low. we have 2 renegades in the family, my daughter's 2015 renegade that we bought in 2017 with only 2500 ...
