2016 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

THE VACUUM HOSE ON THIS MODEL CONSTANTLY BREAKS. IT BROKE AS SOON AS I BOUGHT IT. HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. LAST TIME WAS SEPTEMBER AND IT HAS ALREADY BROKEN AGAIN. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THEY SEE IT ALL THE TIME ON THIS MODEL. IT WAS THE SECOND TIME THEY HAD SEEN A BROKEN VACUUM HOSE ON A RENEGADE JUST THAT DAY! WHY HAS THERE NEVER BEEN A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS????????

MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IN THE DRIVER SEAT ELECTRICAL WIRING. THE DRIVER SEAT POWER SWITCHES CONTROLLING THE SEAT MOVEMENT HAVE BECOME NON-OPERATIONAL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND PRESENT A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE IS THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER SEAT WOULD BE LOCK INTO A POSITION LOCKING THE DRIVER IN THE SEAT OF THE VEHICLE.

THE BEARING ON THE FAN IS GOING OUT. I HAVE 42,000 MILES AND OF COURSE IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE READ MORE THAN 100 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? THIS IS THE 3RD CHRYSLER I'VE PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE OTHER 2. IF MORE THAN HALF OF THE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THEN IT IS TIME FOR A RECALL ON THE PART. I DON'T HAVE $500-$600 TO FIX THIS. SO I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I STILL OWE ON THAT WILL SIT FOR MONTHS. THANK YOU CHRYSLER.

COOLING FAN WENT BAD. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE JEEP RENEGADE.

AROUND 40,000 MILES MY CAR STARTED CONSUMING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO CONSUME 1 QUART PER 750 MILES! THAT IS INSANE. THAT SAID, CHRYSLER GUIDELINE FOR CARS IS 1 QUART PER 2000 MILES FOR CARS BELOW 50,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR MY ENGINE. I CAN'T EVEN GO 2500 MILES ON AN OIL CHANGE WITHOUT MY CAR SEIZING UP, STALLING, HAVING ERRORS CODES (LOW OIL PRESSURE, OIL LIGHT COMES ON, ELECTRICAL ERROR), WON'T ACCELERATE OVER 35 MILES PER HOUR. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH NO WARNING! VERY DANGEROUS ON A FREEWAY! EVEN THE GUIDELINE FOR CARS OVER 50,000 MILES THE GUIDELINE BEING THE CAR CAN BURN 1 QUART EVERY 750 MILES IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE OWNED OLDER MODELS THAT NEVER DID THAT. IS THIS A NEW CAR THING? NEW CARS JUST BURN RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL? TO WHAT END?

VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON, ESPECIALLY AT COLDER AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. HIGH COOLANT TEMP WARNING WHEN IT'S BELOW ZERO. CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE AFTER I'VE STARTING DRIVING, ETC. NAV 6.5 CANNOT SEEM TO STAY CONNECTED TO SATELLITE RADIO AND CONSTANTLY HAS TO RE-LOAD (DURING THIS TIME, NO SOUND WILL BROADCAST FROM RADIO). ALSO, TAKES UP TO 5 MINUTES MINUTES FOR THE NAV 6.5 TO LOAD - SO OFTEN I HAVE TO GO WITHOUT THE BACKUP CAMERA. ALSO, WHEN GETTING IN CAR AND ON A PHONE CALL, THE CALL WILL NOT TRANSFER TO THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. IT'S SO SLOW THAT I AM MISSING THE CONVERSATION BECAUSE DURING THE PROCESS OF TRANSFERRING THE CALL THE SOUND FROM THE CALL IS COMPLETELY CUT OFF ON THE PHONE AND HASN'T YET COME THROUGH TO THE CAR'S SPEAKERS. I AM PUTTING TODAY'S DATE ON THE FORM, BUT THESE THINGS HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT I DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE HAD IT FOR 2.5 YEARS AND IT HAS 16.7K MILES.

WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET AND POWER STEERING / TRACTION CONTROL RANDOMLY CUT OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE POWER WILL CUT THE ENGINE SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES THE CAR JUST DRIFTS AND I CANNOT CONTROL IT. I HAVE ALMOST SERIOUSLY WRECKED BECAUSE OF IT TWICE. *DT*JB

THE CAR STALL ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING IT WAS SUDDENLY IN SMOKE THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WAS ALL THE WAY LOW, AFTER IS STALL CAR READ LOW IN OIL . WHEN I OPEN THE HOOD IT DIDN'T HAVE A DROP OF OIL. THIS HAPPEN A FEW MONTHS AGO THE LAST TIME THE COOLANT WAS EMPTY. THE CAR GETS SERVICE ONLY BY ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP PALM BEACH.

MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE RADIATOR FAN ASSEMBLY IS SHOT. STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS IDLING ON MY WAY HOME.IT IS ALMOST $1000 TO FIX AND I CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE. IT IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. IT HAS 45K MILES. ONLINE THERE IS A TON OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, PARTICULARLY IN THE 2016 JEEPS. I WANT TO URGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS CAR AND COMPANY TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS.
