2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE STOPPING IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR JUST STOPS AND I GET A WARNING ABOUT SHIFTING TO PARK AND STARTING, WHICH IS DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, THE STARTER IS VERY SLOW AND WILL EVENTUALLY START AGAIN. ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN REGULARLY MADE. THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY SSUE THAT NEEDS NVESTIGATING.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH, ENGINE JUST STALLED/DIED. I LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKE FELT LIKE A BRICK, I HAD NO CONTROL WHATSOEVER. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. TOOK 3-4 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE ENGINE RESTARTED. BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THIS HAPPENED THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM.

RECENTLY, AS I WAS DRIVING, VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHENEVER I WOULD HIT MY BRAKES AND ASK ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK (P), CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR. ENGINE WOULD TAKE QUITE A FEW SECONDS TO FIRE/RESTART BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT WOULD ALSO VIBRATE QUITE BADLY AND BE UNABLE TO GO ANY HIGHER THAN 40MPH OR 1500RPM UNTIL I RESTARTED MY CAR. IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE AT ALL UNTIL I RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE, WHICH HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. A MESSAGE WILL SHOW ON THE DASH THAT SAYS 'SHIFT VEHICLE TO PARK' OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. I WILL GO FROM DRIVING NORMALLY, TO HAVING 0 RPMS WHILE I'M STILL MOVING. I TURN THE CAR OFF. I WAIT A MINUTE. I TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT WON'T START, IT JUST KEEPS CRANKING. EVENTUALLY, AND AFTER MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS AND FEAR OF RUINING THE STARTER, I MANAGE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, BUT BARELY. WHEN IT DOES FINALLY START, I WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND AM THEN ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN THE PAST YEAR. IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT I SCHEDULE MY VEHICLE FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES AS RECOMMENDED, BUT I OFTEN GET AN OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING, SOMETIMES RIGHT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLS. I OFTEN HAVE TO ADD QUARTS OF OIL TO MY VEHICLE, EVEN WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I DRIVE AN AVERAGE OF 12,000 MILES A YEAR AND I DO NOT ABUSE MY VEHICLE. WHEN RESEARCHING MY PROBLEM I CAME ACROSS TWO REMARKABLY SIMILAR ISSUES IN OTHER 2017 JEEP RENEGADES. THESE TWO RECALLS DO NOT SHOW UP WHEN I CHECK MY VEHICLE'S VIN AGAINST ACTIVE RECALLS. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE AND I AM ASKING THAT YOU BROADEN YOUR SCOPE FOR THIS ISSUE IN JEEP RENEGADES, BECAUSE I OR MY FAMILY COULD BE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING.

COOLING FAN FAILURE WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, PROBLEM REPORTED AND DIAGNOSED BY DEALER. THEY INDICATED WOULD BE OK TO DRIVE UNTIL NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE INTERVAL. CAR OVERHEATED WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND CONCLUDED NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE WHICH IS UNFAIR DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THESE FAILURES REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. ATTACHED INVOICE OF $ 817.63 IN REPAIRS WE HAVE UNFAIRLY HAD TO PAY.

INSTRUMENTATION LIGHTS FLICKER WHILE DRIVING ON ANY ROADWAY UNDER ANY CONDITIONS. FLASHED TAILLIGHT FAILURE WHEN NO PROBLEM EXISTED WHILE DRIVING ON STATE ROADWAY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS.

MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME - CITY STREET - IT WAS SNOWING AND ICY - THE CAR STALLED OUT AND HE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT JUMPED THE CURB AND RAN INTO A POLE AND TREE.*DT*TP I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE IN STALLING OUT AS WELL AS RECALLS. THE ISSUE IS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED BUT IT COMES BACK DOING THE SAME THING. DUE TO THIS ACCIDENT THIS HAS CAUSED US TO HAVE BODY WORK TO BE DONE AS WELL AS OTHER ISSUES. THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.*JB *DT*TP
