2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

SPUTTERING, HARD STARTING, BAD GAS MILEAGE, LOW OR BAD ACCELERATION, MISFIRES, JUST BAD RUNNING

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP RENEGADE AND IT JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING FOR NO REASON, THE ONLY THING THAT IT SHOWED ON THE DASH WAS YOU MUST PUT YOUR CAR IN PARK TO SHIFT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER THEY PLUGGED IT IN SAID THERE ARE NO CODES IT'S FINE. I LEFT WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO WORK. WHEN I LEFT I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT CUTOFF. I GOT IT STARTED AFTER A FEW TRIES AND STARTED ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I WENT TO PULL IN IT CUTOFF AGAIN. SERVICE PLUGS IT IN, NO CODES, HE WANTED ME TO DRIVE IT HOME AND COME BACK IN THE MORNING. I'M LIKE IT CUTOFF TWICE IN TRAFFIC, YOUR KEEPING IT. HE CALLS THIS MORNING SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW MOTOR THERE WASN'T ANY OIL IN IT. THEN HE CALLS BACK LATER SAYS CHRYSLER SAYS I HAVE TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO CUTOFF IF THERE IS NO OIL PRESSURE. WHAT IF I WAS GOING 70 DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT CUTOFF. WHAT IF MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT AND IT CUTOFF. IN LOOKING UP PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE IT IS A KNOWN FACT AND HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. HOW CAN THEY SELL A VEHICLE THAT JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT WITH NO WARNING OR WARNING LIGHTS.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK 4X4 WITH 35000 MILES. STALLED TWICE ON ME IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. BOTH TIMES I WAS GOING LESS THAN 15MPH TURNING ONTO A STREET. ENGINE JUST DIED AND IT TOLD ME TO PUT IN IN PARK. I DID AND THE FIRST TIME IT STARTED AGAIN AFTER SOME SPUTTERING. SECOND TIME IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. ALSO, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR COMES ON RANDOMLY FOR A SPLIT SECOND SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THEY DID THAT AND IT SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN TOMORROW AND ASKING THEM TO CHECK THE OIL PUMP TO SEE IF IT IS CRACKED EVEN THOUGH MY SPECIFIC JEEP IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST.

THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE I WAS TURNING. I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. I DID THIS AGAIN AND THE ENGINE EVENTUALLY STARTED.

MY CAR KEEPS RINGING SEAT BELT ALERT EVEN WHEN SEATBELTS ARE ON. THE PANEL LIGHTS UP AND SAYS SERVICE EMERGENCY BREAK AND AIR BAGS. ALSO AT TIMES I GET ALERT SAYING FOB KEY IS NOT IN VEHICLE AT SAME TIME I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO DRIVE TO NY FROM FL AND BACK AGAIN AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE.

I HAD JUST LEFT FOR WORK TODAY, DRIVING ON THE STREET, WHEN 2017 JEEP RENEGADE DESERT HAWK SUDDENLY STALLED I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WITH INSTRUCTION TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESS START BUTTON. I DID SO AND THE ENGINE TRIED TO START, BUT DIDN'T. TRIED A SECOND TIME AND ENGINE SPUTTERED AND EVENTUALLY STARTED. LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT HAS ALSO BEEN FLASHING ON WHEN MAKING QUICK TURNS. ONLY STAYS ON A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THIS THEN HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER I HAD JUST LEFT WORK. PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW, I'M THE ONLY DRIVER AND IT HAS 20,500 MILES. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE SAME HAPPENED. I TOLD THE DEALER SHOP, WHEN I WAS GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN I FIRST START IT IN THE MORNING AND WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING AWHILE AND I START IT (LIKE WHEN I GO HOME FROM WORK).

ENGINE HAS STALLED TWICE UNDER EXERTION AT LOW SPEED. LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS AND ENGINE RUNS ROUGHLY.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD MAKES NOISE AND BOGS DOWN WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN ACCELERATING. SEEMS LIKE IT SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL. TAKES TO LONG TO SHIFT GEARS.

ENGINE STALLED TWO TIMES ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURRED BOTH TIMES WHILE TURNING ON A CITY STREET AT AN INTERSECTION. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP SAME DAY OF SECOND OCCURRENCE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUND NO OIL ON DIPSTICK. OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BEING PERFORMED AT THIS TIME.

STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING VERY HARD AT RANDOM TIMES AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME WE HAD IT INSPECTED AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT AT THE SHOP. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AND STARTED TO HEAR OUR VALVES KNOCKING SO WE CHECKED TO OIL. THE OIL WAS TWO QUARTS LOW AND BARELY ON THE DIP STICK. WE WERE ONLY MIDWAY THROUGH OIL CHANGE AND WE ONLY SERVICE OUR CAR AT THE DEALER. WE TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT USING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES IS NORMAL. IT MAY BE NORMAL FOR THIS CAR BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR ANY CAR WE HAVE EVER OWNED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY DID NOT INFORM US AT OIL CHANGES THAT WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE MAINTAINING OUR OIL LEVELS. THIS WOULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE OUR CAR ENGINE TO FAIL AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AS THE ENGINE COULD TURN OFF FROM LACK OF OIL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR JEEP TO KEEP THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT A SECRET BECAUSE THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.
