2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, CREATING A DANGEROUS CONDITION DUE TO INABILITY TO MOVE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. FROM RESEARCHING VARIOUS WEBSITES THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INSTANCE OF THIS DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL OF JEEP WHICH IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET I GOT A WEIRD MESSAGE THAT SAID CAR MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT GEARS. I TURNED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND THEN THE CAR JUST STALLED OUT. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT STALLED FOR 10-15 SECONDS THEN FINALLY TURNED OVER. AS MANY TIMES AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS ON THIS? TO HAVE YOUR CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE DRIVING IS DEFINITELY NOT IDEAL NOR IS IT SAFE TO SAY THE LEAST.

I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND MY VEHICLE JUST STOPPED. ENGINE WAS STILL ON BUT JUST QUIT MOVING I PRESSED THE GAS BUT NO RESPONSE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OF AND BACK ON AND IT STARTED BUT THEN AN SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH. I CAN'T BELIEVE AN AIR BAG WARNING WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING AND NO CONTROL.

ON 3 OCCASIONS SINCE NEW MY CAR HAS CONSUMED ALL OF IT'S OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS REALIZED. THE ONLY INDICATOR IS WHEN TURNING A CORNER, A LOW PRESSURE WARNING ILLUMINATES AND POWER IS CUT TO THE ENGINE, WHICH LEAVES ME UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THEN UPON CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, NO OIL REGISTERS ON THE DIPSTICK. I'VE GOTTEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT 7500 MILE INTERVALS AS REMINDED BY THE ONBOARD SYSTEM. THE OIL IS FULLY GONE BY ABOUT 6000 MILES OR LESS.

WHILE DRIVING CAR DID NOT GIVE ANY SIGNS IT WOULD STOP, STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND SO WAS BRAKES AND GAS PEDAL, CAR KEPT SAYING TO PUT IN PARK AND OIL PRESSURE LOW , CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE TURNING IN INTERSECTION IT DID NOT TURN OFF IT JUST WOULDN'T MOVE.

ROUGH IDLING. VEHICLE STALLING AT 60 MPH. WHEN ACCELERATING, GOING UPHILL OR TURNING CAR PERFORMANCE DROPS AND THEN CAR JERKS FORWARD.

PURCHASED THE RENEGADE BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD IT STALL SEVERAL TIMES. BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. GOT THE OIL CHANGED AND NOT EVEN 2,000 MILES LATER STALLED AGAIN AND WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL, IT WAS EMPTY. THIS IS A HUGE IF NOT IMPERATIVE SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOMEONE TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE FOR A VEHICLE WITH 54,000 MILES NOW TO JUST STALL. THIS IS APPALLING THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND OR RECALLED. IS IT GOING TO TAKE CASUALTIES TO GET SOMETHING DONE? THE FIRST TIME IT STALLED THE OIL LIGHT CANE ON AS I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THE NEXT WAS DRIVING DOWN THE SAME STREET AT THE SAME STOP SIGN. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET AND THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

THE ENGINE WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC OR GO DOWN THE ROAD. THIS WAS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE TIME IN THE LAST WEEK. THERE IS RECALLS ON THE 4WD BUT NOT THE 2WD. THIS WILL CREATE A CRASH FOR THESE MODELS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO.

VEHICLE HAS 14000 MILES, HAS STALLED SIX TIMES IN 13 MONTHS. MOST RECENTLY, DRIVING LESS THAN ONE BLOCK AWAY, MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND LOST ALL POWER, DASH INSTRUCTIONS STATED THAT VEHICLE MUST BE IN P TO SHIFT GEARS. I WAS NOT SHIFTING GEARS. VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHUT OFF, WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL ATTEMPTED THREE TIMES. THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE BUT ABSOLUTELY SHOULD AS IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED JEEP RENEGADES. THIS IS EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE OR THAT IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE AGAIN. MY OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WILL TELL ME WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE, DEALERSHIP SAYS NOT TO FOLLOW THE MANUAL, TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. PURCHASED BRAND NEW AT $27000, NOW WORTH $14000 AND I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT WITHOUT RISKING STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE? HOPEFULLY IT WON'T TAKE FATALITIES TO WIDEN THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE.
