My 2017 jeep renegade 4x4 sport is jerking possibly the transmission could be slipping. this occurs at approximately 20mph and it also occurs when idling.
The check engine light has come on in my vehicle twice. when the light comes on, the vehicle jerks when applying the breaks. the car has been looked at twice by the dealer. the dealer said in both instances that this was the result of a bad ignition coil. the ignition coil was replaced each time. the issue is now presenting itself a third time, but the check engine light has not come on. i believe this vehicle may have been missed in the recent recall for the engine issues.
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????
I have noticed that when i have to take hard turns with my jeep renegade 2017 4 wheel drive sport edition that my low oil pressure light will come on and the engine will either stall or flutter like it's going to stall. this can be dangerous if it stalls while i am making a turn in traffic
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 bought my jeep with 17miles on it. since i have had it i have had many reacurring problems. 1st around the 8000 mile mark my jeep started skipping gears like when you shift a old ten speed bike. brought it to dealership it took a week or so and got it back the had to reprogram the shifting module?? then 2nd as i was driving my car it would just lose power and shut off, not fun when driving on the highway going 60mph. i called the dealer they said they didn't know why it did this. a few day later i was crossing a intersection and it did it again. and i almost got hit by a semi truck. this was at about 30000 miles. when i brought it to the dealership they said i had a oil problem. and that is why. they replaced top end of my engine?? well what about the bottom? now i'm at 50000 and all the problems that i had are happening again it is bucking when shifting. randomly shutting off. i'm feed up. and my car isn't covered under a warranty any more. as of now i have a beautiful large car payment on a car that is two years old that i don't think is going to last as long and my payments. i'm scared to drive it. i'm scared to drive my daughter around in it.
Whille driving the vehicle on a city street and making a right turn and descending a small hill the vehicle "service engine light" illuminates, chimes and the vehicle transmission locks into a random gear (typically 3 or 5th gear) and remains in this gear. it happens over half of the time and results in a very unsafe driving condition as the vehicle is unable to accelerate properly or maintain adequate speed depending on the gear in which it is stuck. the vehicle has to dodge traffic and pull over in a safe place where the vehicle can be shut off and restarted, which in most cases will reset the transmission and allow it to function closer to normal. fca in conjunction with the dealer have been attempting to remedy this extremely dangerous situation for 6 months. they have replaced the transmission control module, the transmission, the evap canister and the fuel pump. fca and the dealer are stating this is "normal" function and that the turn or the hill must be extreme operation. this is happening at a slow speed turn of 10-15 mph. i have video recordings which have been shared with fca and the dealer and i would gladly share with nhtsa. as a former vp at a tier one automotive supplier, i can assure you this is not extreme operation and is a significant safety issue which the manufacturer is unwilling to rectify. if the manufacturer is unable to identify the root cause of what could potentially be a software related safety defect it could result in additional jeep renegades operating unsafely on public roadways. please advise where i can send all the video evidence.
I bought 2017 jeep renegade 1/2018. first 6-9 months ran good no issues noticed. when i reached approx. 28k miles, the jeep started severe hard shifting with a clunk & car jerk anytime i was driving in speed range of 27-32 mph. over next 5 mos. 10/2018'feb/mar 2019, i took my jeep to same dealer purchased/serviced 5 different times. each time same complaint of hard shift 27-32mph. this sporadically happens with no rhyme or reason to when only that it occurs during that speed range. i could be accelerating or coasting in town to decelerate and will happen. i filed a formal complaint to jeep chryselr 1/2019 after 3rd dealer service visit not resolved. dealer every time said all normal, no transmission issues. now both dealer & jeep insist hard shifting is normal claiming it is an electronic transmission that has a 'clutch' engagement around that speed and normal to feel when it engages or disengages. both dealer & jeep claim this is also common and more noticeable when it reaches colder weather but refuse to acknowledge any issues. i advised my jeep didn't do this first few months when bought new during winter season jan 2018, but still i am told by both dealer & jeep that this is normal. i still have the problem today and no one has resolved. now they just say nothing they can do. i even stopped driving distances may-july afraid to go over my 36k warranty. i am getting close to my 36k warranty exp. now and asked for one last time to please figure out the hard shifting issues before something happens. i won't even let my 3 teen driving children behind wheel of the jeep for fear that the hard shift & car jerks would potentially cause them to have an accident. i owe too much for trade-in value so am stuck with a new jeep that has insane shifting issues and jeep will not acknowledge, take ownership, or recall to fix even after multiple consumer reviews show same issue
My 2017 renegade jeep is stalling at stop lights, stop signs, or as i accelerate to leave a stop light or stop sign. i almost got hit by a 18 wheeler truck 2 weeks ago because the jeep stalled and i could not move out of the truck's way. my jeep also accelerates, or loses power. it is rattling since 3 months after i bought it. it has a problem with massive oil consumption and i am afraid i may have a fire. i have alerted russell westbrook jeep dealership where i bought it 9/10/2017. these problems have gotten worse since 3/01/2019. *js
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.
2017 jeep renegade with 42,000 miles has faulty ignition coils, causing the vehicle to misfire, and stall while driving. after our jeep renegade started running rough and misfiring, i started researching possible issues. shortly after this the check engine light indicated a problem, which disabled the 4 wheel drive in the vehicle during a snowstorm here. upon pulling the cel code, we found a misfire in cylinder 2 and replaced the spark plugs as this is a typical solution to minor ignition issues. upon replacement, i noticed one plug was badly fouled and corroded with another having slight fouling. after replacement of the spark plugs, the vehicle acted ok for about an hour then started misfiring again. we swapped the 2 and 4 coil with each other resulting in the misfire moving to cylinder 4. this lexus to replace the ignition coils solving the issue. this vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it, and upon further research we are finding this is a common problem with the renegade ignition coils failing prematurely causing the vehicle to misfire and stall. this is a potential life threatening issue because if the vehicle stalls while driving could very likely cause accidents. additionally the failure of the 4wd with acel puts the driver at further risk of being stuck or causing a wreck when the vehicle does not perform as expected.
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.
Oil consumption. needed 1quart of oil every 1000 miles. it will stall when low on oil.

Takata recall - took vehicle in for service 12/10/18, took a trip to yosemite on 12/25/18 before leaving home my husband checked my oil and i was half way down my oil stick. how is that possible when i just took my car in for service? i was maybe a little more then 1000 miles. no oil light came on. this is the second time, the first time i was way less than my oil change mileage we was heading to la and half way there my car started stalling we pulled over and checked the oil when the car cooled off and my husband notice i had no oil it was at the bottom line on my oil stick. we had to rush to get oil for my car. no oil light came on, thank god we made it safely to napa to purchase oil.
My car just about stalled but it kept going. but then it got stuck in third gear. i drive all the way to the dealership. they said they never heard bout this problem. well i just bought the vehicle in 2018 february.
I have a 2017 jeep renegade. there is a massive recall on them due to the car shutting off due to fuel pump and oil sensor issues. i have had the vehicle shut off on me in intersections and on the highway and is very unsafe to drive. i contacted chrystler and they said that they are not fixing this recall until after the 1st quarter is over due to part and funding issues. they refuse to help me with this issue. i cannot drive this vehicle due to unsafe conditions.
My vehicle started to shut off without warning on 3 occasions. i checked my oil and i saw that it was running low so i put 2 quarts of oil in on thursday 12/13/18. i checked and the oil stick and the level was at the medium level on the stick. i took my car to the dealer 12/17/18 to have it looked at. i was told that i had no oil in my car which was impossible since i had just put oil in the car. the dealer recommended that i drive 500 miles and then come back for an oil consumption test.
My car has cut off with out notice while driving on highway three times, always at least a 1,000 miles before my next oil change . i can not make it 3.000 without having to get an oil change
My car has stalled two days in a row at the same spot. in the morning it reflects that i have low oil pressure but then the warning goes away immediately. after work, i was able to drive for a 0.5 miles before it stalled after the same turn. i took it to the dealership and they couldn't do anything because my warning lights aren't going off. they topped my car off with oil even though i just got an oil change 2 months ago. this has never happened before and am regretting my decision of getting a jeep.
Around 40000 miles, the car began making a rattling noise under the hood and a burning smell was noticed. shortly thereafter, the check engine light came on. we took it to our mechanic and the code indicated that the radiator fan had failed, making the car unsafe to drive. i find it highly indicative of a faulty and dangerous part for a radiator fan to fail so quickly. the large number of complaints for the same issue confirmed this, the part was defective and is replaced by jeep with a better one, but at the cost of the owner. i find this highly negligent, jeep should be replacing this part for free ad part of a recall, as they clearly know it was an inferior part.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving at an unknown speed, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle also made a rattling noise and the temperature gauge illuminated. the vehicle was taken to kings chrysler dodge jeep ram (513-683-3000, located at 4486 kings water dr, cincinnati, oh 45249) where it was diagnosed that the cooling fan failed. the dealer advised the contact to schedule an appointment. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 47,300.
My daughter was driving with 4 passengers on interstate 83 in pennsylvania when she heard a loud clunk, the engine light came on and she had lost most ability to steer. she fortunately was able to get the car to stop on the side.thank god everyone was safe - this could have ended terribly. according to the mechanic and what we know so far, the bcm went bad and they are replacing (under warranty). the vehicle is a 2017 and has approximately 17,000 miles on it. how does something like this happen. we purchased the vehicle because it seemed like a reliable, safe option. this whole thing could have ended differently. you cannot be traveling on a highway and all the sudden have your car stop running. chrysler may want to dig a little further and see if it is a recall issue.
At approximately 23,000 miles, the check engine oil light briefly flashed on once when taking a sharp turn (left or right). this occurred twice. the third time was when pulling out of a parking lot at standard speed (not a fast acceleration) but the engine completely turned off. i was able to to restart the engine with no delay and no warning lights on dash. 1/10th of a mile i was entering the interstate (same day) and the engine completely turned off again - almost causing a rear-end collision. again, the car restart without delay and no warning lights. i pulled the car to the shoulder of road and called the dealership. i explained details and said the only other experience i had was it was time to change the oil. the dealership said change your oil and that should fix the problem. ??really?? i was confused of why & how but i'm no mechanic and i drove it directly to valvoline and it corrected the problem. i am deeply concerned about stalls with my 3 children in the car daily. now i am experience transmission issues at 31,500 miles. i will supply details is a separate report.
Engine shuts off when turning. at approximately 23,000 miles october 2018, dash message briefly illuminated "check engine oil" only one time (then turn off) when in a sharp turn (left and right directions). this happened 3 different times. the 4th time, the engine complete shut off in the middle of the turn. i was leaving my work parking lot and decided to drive toward the dealership. the engine turned on without hesitation and no warning on dash. 1/10th mile from work, the engine turned off again in a turn, almost causing a rear-end collision. i pulled to the shoulder and called the purchasing dealership to explain and asked if i can drive to them. i explained the only issue was this and it was time to change oi. the technician said that changing the oil will resolve the problem. it did. it is now match 2019 and the vehicle has not shut off since october. i am not thrilled about this "so called" safety feature. save the engine by shutting off.... but put passengers in danger. not happy - especially since i am a single mom of 3.
While driving 80 mph on the interstate the car suddenly stalled. the fuel was over half full and oil was with normal ranges (checked before trip). this is the 5 such instance of this happening between accelerating from a stop lightroom driving on the highway. the first couples times dealership tried to say it was the viscosity of the oil caused it to be lower than the car read it to be. an oil change was done. nothing else. this time the dealership is going to replace the fuel pump.
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.

Driving and engine stalls, throws a p00735 code, only 15450 miles on the car when happened, it's not doing it again and have been told that i have to wait until it happens again...i don't feel safe in this car. research has shown there are many people with the exact same problem happen to them and told the same thing.
While driving my vehicle jerks and lunges forward when shifting gears. as i am driving i will hear a loud clunk noise, which then results in my engine stalling out. it has happened while driving on the highway. i've noticed it happens when i must accelerate quickly or when i release the gas pedal. on the panel soon after the clunk a message appears stating that the car must be shifted to park in order to drive. i am afraid to drive my car as i purchased it to ensure the safety of my son. it has been a nightmare each time i attempt to drive it. dealership says it's normal for 2.4l transmissions to do this, main cause is low oil. i have found that it still happens after a fresh oil change. the car only has 15,000 miles on it. no harsh driving has been done. this issue needs to be fixed. this issue puts every driver on the road at the same time at risk. these engines are lemons.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated and stalled. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was able to restart. the vehicle was taken to fort collins dodge chrysler jeep (3835 s college ave, fort collins, co 80525, (970) 372-0621), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 8,600. the vin was not provided.

This 2.4l multi-air engine consumes excessive amounts of oil. there is no "low pressure" indication unless the motor is a couple quarts low and hard cornering or stopping, and in those circumstances the engine stalls out. this first occurred a couple of months after purchase, the dealership gave me a tsb printout recommending i keep a quart of oil on hand. since then every oil change i have been low and i've added about one quart per thousand miles like the tsb indicates but it is starting to consume it worse. when i purchased this vehicle i was told that oil changes were substantially further apart and the vehicle would let me know when to do so, yet there is no indication that i am low or out. i am afraid it is going to blow the engine on this vehicle. *dt see attachment testimony is more than 2,000 characters.*jb
On the highway when transmission wouldn't engage and the jeep started shaking. came to a stop, shifted to manual and it needed high rpm's to get it moving. it finally got moving and had to use manual get it off the highway. was at the dealer a few months earlier dealing with the transmission not engaging. dealer said it was a software issue. dealer now says it's not transmission but engine problems. thankful to be alive.
I have taken my car to the dealer several times because while driving the car will jerk really hard. this happens when i come to a complete stop, when i slow down and pick up the speed or just driving normal. the dealer said it had to imitate the problem so he can know what to fix. so it did imitate the jerk so he wanted to drive it hisself cause he said the way i was driving caused the car to jerk. i told him i had this car 2 years and it has never done that. so it can't be the way i'm driving. i've been driving the same the whole while i've had the vehicle. they have gave the car back to me and it's doing the same thing even worse. . it's frustrating cause they keep saying that it's not doing it. i will never by another car from this dealership again. this is the second vehicle that i have purchased from them with a bad engine and transmission. no help from the dealer just a lemon of a car. the radio kept going blank. they said they fixed that. i got it back it did it again plus the jerking. i've been to them3 timesalready still having the same problem. 😡never will purchase a dodge jeep of. o kind again.
Takata recall. was driving at 75 mph on cruise control when my jeep slammed on the breaks. it then proceeded to have surges. no lights came on. it completely shut off but was still on. a error came on stating to service transmission. took to a dealership that said it was needing an update with the computer. went 340 more miles the next day and it done the exact same thing. lost all power steering. no warning lights came on. got towed and they told me no codes came up while plugged into the computer. was then told it was the fuel pump and would be a two week wait. was told it's been a very common thing with the 2017 renegades so they're back ordered. i was also told that the dealership the day before bypassed something to send me on my way. called chrysler and they aren't helping at all. and i'm still 480 miles from my home. there should definitely be a recall on them. it will end up getting someone killed.
Vehicle's oil consumption is higher than owner manual indicates. engine is consuming approx. a liter every 750-1,000 miles. have brought vehicle in for service due to low oil light coming on and was told that the 2.4 engine tends to burn oil and this was normal. they advised that i just check the oil levels and add oil when low. this first started shortly after buying the vehicle and continue as of today 04/05/19.* *dt consumer stated dealer indicated that this type of engine burns oil and that consumer could come monthly to have the oil checked. there is no visible leak. consumer had the oil changed four times at roughly 22,000 miles.*jb
While driving my car many times the car stalls out. i have brought it to the dealership a number times and they still yet can not diagnose the problem. before the car stalls out while i'm driving at lower speeds as well as accelerating on a highway, a message pops up and says vehicle not in park and then jerks me forward and completely shuts off. it also stalls going uphill as well then the dash message appears to come on and says park disabled press break pedal to start engine. i am very upset and this problem needs to be addressed as soon as possible for the concern of my own safety as well as others. *dt updated 10/18/18*jb *bf. updated 11/01/18*jb
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
About 3 months ago, in between regular/proper oil changes, i pulled out of a parking lot and on to a city side street when my jeep stalled. after turning on my hazards and turning off the car and restarting it, i pulled back into the parking lot. at this time the low oil light came on so i waited for the car to cool and checked the oil. the dipstick showed no oil. i added 2 quarts and took it to the shop. the guy did an oil change and suggested that the last guy did not add enough oil since it takes more than a normal v4. i thanked him and went on my way. immediately my car was driving better. here it is 3 months later and my car begins to drive rough. so i check my oil after setting all night and i have to add more oil. there are no visible leaks, no white smoke or smoke for that matter, no puddles and no indicator lamp.

Transmission and engine problems, car stalling. almost in bad car accident due to this issue, after looking at reviews im not the only one with issue. not a happy customer
The vehicle transmission was stuck in neutral and could not be shifted to any other position. this occurred after backing the vehicle up a few feet and then trying to shift from reverse into drive. there is no known procedure for shutting off the engine with the shifter in any position other than park. because of this, the vehicle could not be moved and the engine could not be shut off. the only good part of this was that it was in neutral - i can't imagine what could have happened of the transmission had gotten stuck in reverse or drive.
Engine has stalled out multiple times. latest time stalled out on a city street after turning into it. tends to happen when oil is low. jeep burning through oil too fast.
Vehicle hesitates and struggles to shift. it hard shifts and feels like it kicks. when accelerating from about 20 mph to 65 mph which is freeway speed engine takes a long time to accelerate then it jerks and shifts really hard.
