2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL YOU GET OFF ACCELERATOR AND THEN IT WILL ACCELERATE WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE PEDAL. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES.

I GOT GAS AT A LOCAL GAS STATION AND AS SOON AS I PULLED OUT STARTED TO NOTICE HESITATION AND JERKING FROM THE VEHICLE. PRESSING THE GAS I NOTICED IT WASN'T SHIFTING GEARS AS GOOD AND ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED BUT DIDN'T STAY ON. AFTER 2 DAYS THE PROBLEM DID NOT END AND FINALLY ENGINE LIGHT WAS CONSISTENTLY ON. I COULD NOTICE THE VEHICLE WASN'T DRIVING AS GOOD IN CRUISE CONTROL AND WOULD CONSTANTLY JERK AND VIBRATE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION A CONSISTENT JERK WAS PRESENT. I DRIVE TO WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND GOING UP HILLS I BEGAN TO NOTICE A LAG IN THE VEHICLE.

MY LEFT REAR SIGNAL BURNT OUT. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BULBS BLOWN OUT BUT IT WASN'T. I AM REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL BOARD THAT CONNECTS TO THE WIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM CLICK JEEP (701 W AUTO MALL DR, TUCSON, AZ 85705) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CYLINDER NUMBER 4 MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,889.

I WAS JUMPING OOFF MY GF CAR FOR THE 10TH TIME OVER A COURSE OF TIME, THIS TIME FOR SOME REASON MY JEEP CAUGHT FIRE AND NOW IS TOTALED AND IT ALSO CAUSED HER CAR TO CATCH FIRE. SO NOT ONLY DID IT DAMAGE MY JEEP BUT DAMAGED HER CAR AS WELL.

THE JEEP WAS STAIONARY. THE FUEL PUMP WOULDN'T COME OUT OF THE CAR, LEADING TO THE CAR LEAKING GAS EVERYWHERE AND THEN WOULDN'T START. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL FUEL TANK FILLER. A WEEK LATER THE JEEP IS STATIONARY AND THEN WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START AND HAD A FLASHING LIGHTNING SYMBOL AND THEN GAS STARTED LEAKING EVERYWHERE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE JEEP. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND ONLY HAVE HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS. I FEEL THAT I MIGHT HAVE A LEMON.

THE ESC, ABS, STEERING TORQUE CONTROL, 4WD, PARKING BRAKE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT A RODENT HAD CHEWED THE WIRING FOR A REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR BECAUSE IT HAS SOY BASED INSULATION. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED OVER NIGHT, BUT GETS DRIVEN EVERY DAY.

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON JULY 15, 2020. I STOPPED TO TO FUEL THE CAR AND CONTINUED ON MY ROUTE HOME. AFTER ABOUT 1 1/2 MILES, I WAS DECELERATING FROM EXITING THE SPUR 601 TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ONTO THE MARSHALL OVERPASS, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER AND STARTED TO SHAKE REALLY BAD. THE IDLE WAS EXTREMELY LOW AND COULD MAKE IT UP THE HILL AND OVERPASS. IT DIDN'T STALL, BUT NEARLY DID SEVERAL TIMES WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE BADLY WHEN IT REACHED 30 MPH AND AGAIN AT 40 MPH. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP NEXT MORNING THINKING IT WAS BAD FUEL, BUT WAS FOUND TO BE BAD IGNITION COILS. THE COILS WERE REPLACED, BUT ISSUE WITH CAR NEARLY STALLING WHILE MAKING TURNS OR HESITATION TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP IS STILL PRESENT. MY CAR IS NOT PART OF ANY OF THE RECALLS, BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS OF THESE CARS. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS NOT ACTUALLY STALLED YET, PRETTY CLOSE THOUGH, I'M AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AND SOMEONE CRASHING INTO ME. I'M VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC SINCE IT'S SLOW IN ACCELERATION. IT PERFORMS POORLY GOING THROUGH MOUNTAIN RANGES, ESPECIALLY WHEN CLIMBING. IT ALSO IS JERKY AT TIMES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, ESPECIALLY AFTER REACHING AROUND 30 MPH. THE CAR ONLY HAS 32,000 MILES AND SHOULD BE PERFORMING BETTER THAN IT IS NOW. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH JEEP.

LOSING OIL NOT GETTING 25,00 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF UNTIL I GET OIL CHANGED. ALSO DASHBOARD ALERTS FOR LIGHTS OUT OR SERVICE WARNINGS BUT THE LIGHTS ARE NOT OUT.

CAR STOPPED AND TOTALLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY A MAN STOPPED AND PUSHED MY CAR. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY FATAL IN A BUSY INTERSECTION.
