2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

AFTER REFUELING THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN I DROVE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. AFTER RESTARTING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. A LIGHT CAME IN "VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK OR START". I PUT ON 4 WAY FLASHERS. AFTER SEVERAL STALLS, MY JEEP RESTARTED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH ON CITY ROADS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL FREQUENTLY SHIFT VERY HARD STARTLING DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. I FEAR IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND POTENTIALLY DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A 2 LANE CITY ROAD GOING UP A MOUNTAIN IN TUCSON. UPON REACHING THE ALTITUDE OF ABOUT 4000 FEET, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL OUT. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP, BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL, GAS, ETC. AS THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. AT THIS POINT, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF WAITING, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. WE CONTINUED OUR ASCENT UP THE MOUNTAIN, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER. AT THIS POINT, WE CANCELLED OUR PLANS AND WENT BACK DOWN. THERE WERE NO ISSUES GOING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN OR AFTERWARDS. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, WE TRIED IT AGAIN, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT THIS TIME STARTING AT AROUND 3500 FT.

THIS DOESN'T MATTER IF MY VEHICLE IS TURNED ON OR OFF. WHEN STATIONARY THE JEEP RENEGADE WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK FROM THE KEY FOB. PREVIOUSLY THE KEY FOB WOULD WORK BUT I WOULD HAVE TO REPEATEDLY PUSH THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY ON THE KEY FOBS TO NO BETTER RESULTS.

WAS DRIVING TO WORK, TURNED ON MAINS STREET AND CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS COME ON INDICATING MULTIPLE FAILURES AT SAME TIME. WILL USUALLY RESET AFTER I TURN OFF ENGINE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THERE IS ALREADY AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. WHEN THE INDICATOR LIGHTS GO ON, I AM DRIVING, ONCE IN A PARKING LOT, ONCE ON A CITY STREET, AND ONCE ON THE FREEWAY.

THE ENGINE IGNITION COILS HAD GONE BAD, CAUSING THE CAR TO BREAK DOWN WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS IN TOWN DURING THIS COVID SITUATION. THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 38,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO A DEALER SAME DAY & THEY REPLACED A COIL & SPARK PLUG- GETTING THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE STEREO DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THIS COST WAS PARTIALLY COVERED THROUGH MY TOYOTA CARE WARRANTY. OTHER PROBLEMS:THE TRANSMISSION ALSO HAS TROUBLE FINDING THE RIGHT GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING & OFTEN JERKS OR STALLS. THERE IS ALSO A VIBRATION/ RATTLE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO HELP FIGURE OUT THE OTHER PROBLEMS, IF THE CAR IS OPERATING. THEY ARE CLEARLY TOO BUSY TO INVEST THE NECESSARY TIME & PROBABLY ARE RECEIVING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE. AND I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT FCA ARE CONSIDERING A FULL RECALL OF THE 2.4 TIGER SHARK MODELS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP QUALITY AND SERVICE.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING FROM A LONG ROAD TRIP OF OVER 600 MILES THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WENT ON THEN A THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT I WAS GOING UP A SMALL HILL WHEN THIS HAPPEN I LOST POWER AND MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO BUT WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD I DID NOT SEE NOTHING LOSE OR LEAKING AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES GOT BACK IN TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE LIGHTS WHERE GONE AND STARTED TO DRIVE NORMAL I STILL HAD ABOUT 400 MILES TO GO AND NO PROBLEM. NOW ON THE WAY BACK 4 DAYS LATER DROVE GOOD FOR 450 MILES NO PROBLEMS TILL THE BOTH LIGHTS CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND I HAD TO PULL OVER I DID THE SAME THING TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE LIGHTS WHERE OFF DROVE GOOD FOR 100 MILES THEN IT CAME BACK ON PULLED OVER TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I HAVE NOT HAD A ISSUE YET WITH IT. I DID NOT NOW YOU NEED IT PICTURES OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE TAKEN SOME 1ST TIME FILING A COMPLAINT

WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASING NEW CAR,THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN DASH-USES 1 QT. OIL EVERY 2000 MILES.IVE COMPLAINED AND COMPLAINED TO NO AVAIL-DEALERSHIPS ALL SAY ITS 'NORMAL' NOW.THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING .-WHEN U GO FROM A LOW SPEED TO A HIGHER SPEED. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY THINK IT NEEDED AN UPDATE ?ALSO,OIL WAS LEAKING AROUND TRANSFER CASE;I NOTICED SPOTS ON CONCRETE WHEN PARKED AND THE LIQUID WAS CLEAR. THIS CAR HAS LITERALLY BEEN A HUNK OF JUNK!

2017 JEEP RENEGADE HAS AN OIL ISSUE WHERE IT SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE WITH NO WARNINGS AND WHEN INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE AND THERE WAS AN OIL CHANGE DONE LESS THEN 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW WHERE THERE WAS NO OIL FOUND IN THE CAR AND THERE WERE NO WARNINGS ABOUT THE OIL LEVEL OR PRESSURE BEING LOW.
