2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

THE JEEP SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'LL SAY THAT THE CAR NEEDS TO BE PLACED IN PARK, YOU ATTEMPT TO START IT, THE JEEP STRUGGLES TO START. EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. THE JEEP ALSO MAKES A HARD JOLT SOMETIMES IN HIGHER SPEEDS. IT HAS BEEN NOTICED TO DO THIS WHEN THE JEEP IS ACCELERATING TO CRUISING SPEED. SOMETIMES IT IS NOTICED WHEN DE ACCELERATING.

THE UCONNECT/SIRIUS XM SYSTEM TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT'S DANGEROUS IF I AM USING NAVIGATION. XM SAYS A FAVORITE IS ON BUT NOTHING IS BROUGHT ON SCREEN. THE UNIT COMPLETELY FREEZES. IT HAS STAYED ON EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF AND LOCKED. BACK UP SENSOR IS NOT AUDIBLE. IT IS AT DEALERSHIP. I PURCHASED NEW AND HAD THIS ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING. DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE IN THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS. ONCE AFTER A RIGHT TURN AND ONCE ON A HIGHWAY AFTER SLOWING TO GO AROUND SOMETHING. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP. I SEE RECALLS INVOLVING THE FUEL PUMP AND AN ELECTRIC MODULE, BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW THESE.

I I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND AT FIRST WHEN IT HIT ONE LINE OF GAS WITH NO LIGHT ON IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AND NOT RESTART UNTIL I ADDED MORE GAS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING CAUSE THERE WAS NOT CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. SO I WAS SENT HOME. IT HAS HAPPEN NOW AT LEAST FOUR MORE TIMES SINCE. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS LAST WEEK AND THIS TIME I HAD TWO LINES OF GAS IN THE CAR. I HAD IT IN FOR EXPECTATION TODAY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AGAIN. THE PRECEDED TO TELL ME THE SAME THING. TAKE IT HOME BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I SHOULD CALL A TOW TRUCK NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. BUT THE CAR SHUTS OFF ANYTIME. THE LAST TIME IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY WITH A TWO YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT. THE CAR IS ACTING LIKE IT RAN OUT OF GAS BUT IT IS GETTING WORST AND IS PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER AND CAN'T GET JELP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER WAITING APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V731000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ONE DAY. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY START LOSING SPEED AND GRADUALLY SLOWS DOWN TILL IT WON'T MOVE ANYMORE. OR SOMETIMES IT KEEPS GOING BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING FORCED TO KEEP MOVING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION OR SERVICE ENGINE WHICH I'VE DONE BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN SOON AFTER. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND YET IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CODE AND THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE GONE NOW BUT AS I MENTIONED IT RETURNED NOT LONG AFTER.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG MY CAR SHUT DOWN HAD MESSAGE ON DASH PUT VEH IN PARK AND SELECT GEAR AND A PICTURE OF OIL CAN ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND I WAS TURNING THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES

2018 JEEP RENEGADE (2.4L) AUTOMATIC 4CYL 2WD WITH UNDER 20,000 MILES AT THE TIME IT FIRST STARTED SEIZING UP MID-DRIVE, BACK IN OCTOBER. THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I ALMOST DIED! I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AFTER THAT, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER SOFTWARE ISSUE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY RESET BUT HERE WE ARE MONTHS LATER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE THE ENGINE SEIZED AND I WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD! MY PASSENGER AND I ARE LUCKY TO EVEN BE ALIVE AFTER THAT INCIDENT! I NOTICED THAT THE LOW OIL-PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A HALF-SECOND WHEN TURNING A HARD CORNER THEN GOES AWAY. AFTER LOOKING UP TO SEE THAT THERE IS A "CURRENT CAMPAIGN FOR REPAIRS" I HAVE SCHEDULED AN EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT (WHY NOT A RECALL? THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS!) FROM MY RESEARCH BASED ON INFORMATION FROM SEVERAL SOURCES, IT LOOKS LIKE UPDATING/REPROGRAMMING THE PCM SOFTWARE IS NOT ENOUGH TO FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THIS IS A FAULTY ENGINE ISSUE AND I NEED MY ENGINE TO BE REPLACED TO ENSURE MY PERSONAL SAFETY IN A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. I HAVE GONE INTO DEBT JUST TO BUY THE VEHICLE, THE LEAST DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP CAN DO IS ENSURE THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED. THE LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE ARE AT RISK, HERE. I'VE READ THE DETAILS OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
