2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

JEEP ENGINE DIES DURING HOT WEATHER, PULLING UP STEEP HILLS OR TOWING EVEN SMALL LIGHT TRAILERS AND GOING UP A SLIGHT GRADE! I HAVE HAD MY JEEP IN THE SHOP AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BUT THEY DO NOT GIVE ME ANY PAPERWORK BECAUSE THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND ALL 2.4L ENGINES IN THE RENEGADE HAVE THIS PROBLEM!!!

THIS JEEP WITH APPROXIMATELY COUPLE MONTHS OF PURCHASE THE WHOLE COMPUTER SYSTEM WENT BLANK AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL FOR SOME PART.THEN THEN THE BATTERY AND SOME OTHER PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. SOON AFTER THE ENGINE MOUNT. THEN THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. NOW AGAIN THE COOLANT SYSTEM IS OVER HEATING AGAIN, TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO DETECT THE PROBLEM I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. BUT WE RECEIVED A LETTER OVER A YEAR AGO STATING THAT THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE IS BACK IN WARRANTY SINCE THERE SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THOSE VEHICLE. NOW I HOPE I CAN GET THIS LETTER TO TAKE TO THE DEALER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION . 30000 MILES IN THE ENGINE AND IT GOES THROUGH OIL MORE OFTEN THAN THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES. MAJOR ACCIDENT ISSUE, CAUSED BY ENGINE STALLINGS DUE TO UNEXPECTEDLY LOW OIL. ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY

2015 JEEP RENEGADE LIMITED 4X4 HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING IT USED FROM DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY 2019. IT STALLS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE TO PUT IN PARK, PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, AND THEN PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN WITH FOOT ON BREAK TO START IT AGAIN. THANKFULLY THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY (10-15 MPH) IN A LINE OF CARS TOWARDS A STOP SIGN HOWEVER THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE!

MY ETC LIGHT CAME ON TODAY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AS WELL AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, BOTH LIGHTS RETURNED. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I FINALLY RECEIVED MY RECALLS FOR MY FAN TO BE REPLACED THE DAY AFTER I FIXED IT. IS THIS ANOTHER RECALL THAT I WASN'T MADE AWARE OF?

THE ENGINE OVER HEATS AT HIGH SPEED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME SAY 70 TO 80 MPH OR GOING UP GRADES AT SPEED OR PULLING A SMALL TRAILER. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A NORMAL COMPLAINT ON THIS MODEL JEEP! THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW!!!! NO PHOTOS ARE NECESSARY! THIS DATE IS JUST THE LAST TIME IT HAS STALLED BUT I WAS WITH MY WIFE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH CONCERNED ME! FOR HER SAFETY!!

I GOT UP TO GET READY TO GO TO CHOIR REHEARSAL MY JEEP WOULD NOT CRANK, AND THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE SWITCH, IT TOOK ALMOST 30 MINUTES TO GET THE KEY OUT, FINALLY THE JEEP CRANKED BUT I COULD NOT GET THE GEAR TO GO INTO REVERSE, DRIVE OR NOTHING, AND ON THE DASH BOARD WHERE IT TELLS YOU HOW MANY MILES YOU HAVE ON THE AUTOMOBILE IT WAS BLINKING AND ALSO ON THE DASH BOARD IT SAY SERVICE TRANSMISSION.. I HAVE READ ON YOUR SITE AS I WAS SEARCHING TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, SO MANY OF THESE JEEP SEEM TO DO THIS WHEN THEY REACH 40 THOUSAND MILES. I AM GRATEFUL THAT I WAS NOT ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPEN THE JEEP SEEM TO HAVE LOST SPEED IFOR A BRIEF MOMENT, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

"TAKATA RECALL". MY KEY KEEP GETTING STUCK IN IGNITION AND MY JEEP WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. IT WILL SOMETIME CRANK, BUT IT TAKE FOREVER TO GET THE KEY OUT. MY JEEP IS STILL NEW AND IT IS MY OWN MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. IT IS AT 40 THOUSANDS MILE. .NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CAN NOT GET IT TO LEAVE OUT OF PARK.

TEMPERATURE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE IDLING. COOLING FAN NOT WORKING AT ALL. FAN FAILED AND FUSE BLOWN.

DRIVER WAS GOING 70MPH WHEN FRONT LEFT TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM TIRE CAUSING DAMAGE TO DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE.
