2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

MY MOM WAS PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT, WHEN IT ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING HER TO JUMP A CURB AND A TREE BRANCH STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AND ROOF. A WITNESS IN A CAR NEARBY SAID SHE HEARD THE VEHICLE REV UP BEFORE JUMPING THE CURB.

MY CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT. MY CAR JUST STARTED SAYING 'LOW OIL PRESSURE' AND NOT EVEN A DAY LATER TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. IT DID IT ONCE MORE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND BRING IT BACK IN BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FCA FROM OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING BECAUSE FCA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES FOR YEARS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE TRANSMISSION SKIPS GEARS AROUND 80-90MPH. IT JERKS AND THE GEARBOX LIGHT COMES ON. LIGHT ONLY GOES ON WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACCOMPANIES THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT. IT DOES IT ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ON MY JEEP ARE GROOVED EXTREMELY BAD. I ONLY HAVE 24,000 MILES ON IT AND I NEVER BRAKE HARD. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PADS LOOK LIKE NEW AND THAT THERE IS NO OUTSIDE CAUSE FOR THE GROOVING AND THAT THE ROTORS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A GRINDING FEEL WHEN DRIVING AND BRAKING.

THE 12V LIGHTER SOCKET GAVE MY DAUGHTER AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK WHEN SHE TRIED TO PLUG HER CHARGER INTO IT AND STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS ON AND IN PARK WHEN IT HAPPENED.

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP SEVERAL DIFFERENT OVER SAME ISSUE ABOUT VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO SHUT OFF HAVE TO GO INTO SETTINGS TO TURN IT OFF... HAVE TOOK IT TO ROD HATFIENDS IN WINCHESTER KY

BRAKE PADS NOT WORN AFTER 28000 MILES BUT DEEP GROOVES IN ROTORS BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. DIAGNOSED BY 2 TECHNICIANS (2 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS) AS DEFECTIVE BRAKE PADS.

ENGINE STALL WHEN OIL IS LOW AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT A WARN. THERE IS NO OIL LOW WARN OR ENGINE WARN. NONE OF THE LIGHT COME ON FOR OIL CHANGE OR OIL PRESSURE. IT ALMOST CAUSE ME WRECK THE JEEP CUZ NO CONTROL WHEN IT SHUT DOWN. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FOUND OUT THERE IS NO OIL IN ENGINE WHICH FAITHFUL CHANGE OIL AT DEALERSHIP. NO DASH WARN, I ALMOST REAR END CUZ IT SUDDEN SHUT DOWN. WHEN I TURN THE SHARP I CAN FEEL BEEP BEEP GOING OFF.

2.4 ENGINE WOULD CAUSE STALL NOT SAFETY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT A WARN THAT THE OIL IS LOW. THERE IS NO WARN ON OIL BEING LOW WHICH LEAD TO STALL AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THAT CAN CAUSE WRECK. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARN TO DISCOVER NEED REPLACE ENGINE DUE NO OIL EVEN I HAD THE OIL REGULAR FAITHFUL CHANGE ALL TIME AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP.*DT*JB

I PURCHASED MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE IN FEB OF 2019. I HAD UNDER 5K MILES ON IT AND TOOK IT ON MY FIRST ROAD TRIP. I MADE IT TO COLORADO AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 12 TIMES. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO 4 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND NO CODES OR ISSUES WERE FOUND. I DEALT WITH FCA WHICH WAS A NIGHTMARE, AND ALL THEY OFFERED WAS A FREE WARRANTY. I LET THEM KNOW I DONT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES. I THEN TOOK MY VEHICLE ON THE FIRST ROAD TRIP THIS WEEKEND TO LUBBOCK AND ONCE AGAIN IT STALLED OUT 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND AGAIN. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES YET MY VIN DOESN'T FIT THE RECALL LIST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WANT IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I COULD DIE FROM THIS VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO HELP ME.
