2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

CAR HESITATED AT THE BEGINNING I TAKE FOOT OFF GAS N IT LIKE SKIPS OR THUMPS HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT KINDA LIKE THE GAS PEDDLE STICKS THEN LETS GO WITH A CRANK SOUND MAINLY WHEN LOW ON GAS BUT EVERY NOW N THEN FOR NO REASON IM SHORT SO I DONT LIKE JUST LET GO IN A HURRY,NO ONE TAKES ME SERIOUS BEEN IN SHOP LIKE FOIUR TIMES THEY SAID I GOT A FUEL MODUAL RECAL REPLACEMENT BUT IM NOT SURE WHY THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN

ACCORDING TO THE DEALER I MUST CHECK MY OIL EVERY 1K MILES TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. THIS IS ABOUT THE 3RD TIME MY CAR HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. WHEN I CALL THE DEALER ALL THEY SAY IS DID YOU CHECK YOUR OIL. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON SUN, NOV 3, 2019. WHY ARE COMPANIES ALLOWED TO SELL PRODUCTS THEY ARE FULLY AWARE HAVE DEFECTS, TO TURN AROUND AND MAKE IT THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILITY.

THE 2.4 LT ENGINE IS CONSUMING OIL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. ABOUT 2.5 QTS EVERY 1000 MILES. AT TIMES THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING AND TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND BEFORE THE FIRST SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. THE DEAL IS RECOMMENDING REPLACING THE ENGINE AFTER 3-4 SERVICES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS US BRINGING THE CAR INTO FOR SERVICE TOPPING OFF THE OIL AND HAVING US REPORT BACK EVERY 1000 MILES.*DT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND "PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, PUSH START BUTTON TO START ENGINE" APPEARED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

AUTO TRANS, PERIODICALLY ON SAME TRIP, COASTING DOWN SPEED, CLICKING NOISE @28MPH MOSTLY BUT OTHER SPEEDS DOES IT TOO. HAD TO DEALER YESTERDAY, REPROGRAMMED MODULE TRANSMISSION CONTROL (TCM) AND DRIVE TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (DTCM) STARTED AROUND 17000 MILES (CURRENT MILEAGE 19,500). TOOK SHORT DRIVE TODAY, AND 1 CLICK AT 25MPH WHILE STOPPING AT STOP SIGN. BACK TO WORK TOMORROW AND I WILL START NOTING THE CLICKS.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE, AFTER I TURNED, MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND A MESSAGE CAME UP TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR (IT WAS IN DRIVE). LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST AND PULL OVER. MY CAR KEEP TELLING ME TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR, SO I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESSED THE IGNITION BUTTON BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN A MESSAGE CAME UP TO START MY CAR WITH THE KEY FOB. I TOUCHED THE KEY FOB TO THE IGNITION BUTTON AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY, BUT IT WASN'T SHIFTING PROPERLY. AS IT SHIFTED, IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR. THAT WAS ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19TH. TODAY, OCTOBER 23RD, AFTER I TURNED MY CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED MY CAR KEEP TELLING ME TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR, SO I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESSED THE IGNITION BUTTON BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN A MESSAGE CAME UP TO START MY CAR WITH THE KEY FOB. I TOUCHED THE KEY FOB TO THE IGNITION BUTTON AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. IT TOOK 5 TRIES TO START MY CAR AGAIN.

CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING . THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WITHING 48 HOURS. ONE INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK. ALSO OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON TWICE FOR A SECOND WHILE TURNING CORNERS AND THEN WENT OFF. I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND IS NOT OVER MILES. I AM NOT SURE IF THESE TWO ISSUES ARE LINKED,

DURING VARIOUS INSTANCES AFTER STARTING THE CAR IN A STATIONARY MODE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAVE WARNING OF VARIOUS LIGHTING SYSTEMS NOT WORKING IN RANDOM SUCCESSION. RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, LEFT TURN SIGNAL, PARKING LIGHT OUT, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT OUT. THIS WILL GO ON FOR 30 SECONDS OR MORE BEFORE IT CORRECTS ITSELF. I ALSO HAVE HAD MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES WHILE IN MOTION THE WARNING SAFETY LIGHTS/SIGNALS ON THE SIDE MIRRORS BECOME TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE FOR NO REASON.

DRIVING ON 95 DOING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR CAR SLOWED DOWN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. WHILE DRIVING MY DASH BOARD FLASHES TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER AND CUT CAR OFF IT WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON. I COULD HAVE DIED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. THIS IS VERY VERY SCARY AND JUST TO HAVE MY 60K SERVICES COMPLETED ON SEPTEMBER 21ST AND 28TH 2019 AND JUST HAD BRAKES DONE ON OCTOBER 10TH 2019. NOW I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CALLING, EMAILING AND SENDING LETTERS IN THE MAIL HARASSING ME ABOUT SELLING MY CAR BACK TO THEM. ALL EVERYONE HAS TO DO IS BE HONEST AND SAY HEY THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR VEHICLE AND YOU MAY WANT TO GET OUT OF IT NOW

JEEP QUITS FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NO DASH LIGHTS COME TO INDICATE A PROBLEM.CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SCARED OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS
