2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

WAS ON A HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 67 MPH AND I FELT A LOSS OF POWER BUT STILL HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. FROM THERE THE RENEGADE STARTED PUTTERING AND STALLING. HAD HALF A TANK OF GAS. ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS

WILL BE DRIVING AND VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ONCE IT SHUTS OFF YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND EVEN IN INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE INTERSTATES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE 20 TIMES.

AFTER ABOUT ONE & 1/2 YRS FROM BUYING JEEP...BRAND NEW, IT STARTED SHIFTING GEARS REALLY HARD. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR AT 29-32 MPH, IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND THE JEEP WILL JERK VERY HARD.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER. THE DISPLAY READ "PUT CAR IN DESIRED DRIVE MODE" AND THEN CHANGED TO "LOW OIL PRESSURE". AT THIS POINT MY CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COULD SHIFT GEARS BUT IT DID NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I PRESSED THE START/STOP IGNITION TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF MY CAR. I GAVE IT A MINUTE BEFORE TRYING TO START IT AGAIN. EVEN WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR IT TOOK A BIT TO GET IT TO TURN OVER. IT HAD BEEN JUST OVER 2 MONTHS SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE SO I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS ODD THAT I HAD LOW OIL PRESSURE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AFTER INSPECTING MY CAR THEY NOTICED THAT I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. THE MECHANIC THAT PULLED THE DIPSTICK SAID IT WAS SMOKING WHEN HE PULLED IT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS SO DRY. THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD ME THAT THE 2.4L ENGINES IN THE 2017 RENEGADE TEND TO BURN OIL FASTER THAN OTHER ENGINE MODELS. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN 500 MILES SO THAT THEY COULD CHECK MY OIL. FAST FORWARD 2 WEEKS AND I HIT 500 MILES. I MADE MY APPOINTMENT AND TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED MY ENGINE AND RAN A CONSUMPTION TEST. IN 500 MILES I BURNED THROUGH 2QUARTS OF OIL. MY RENEGADE MADE IT TO 27,392 MILES BEFORE THIS ISSUE. I WAS BEING TOLD THAT I WOULD GET A NEW MOTOR. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS AND I NOW HAVE A NEW MOTOR. BUT IT IS STILL A 2.4L, SO WHAT IS TO SAY THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN? THIS IS THE SECOND CHRYSLER PRODUCT THAT I HAD TO GET A NEW MOTOR BEFORE 30,000 MILES DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT. THE OTHER WAS FOR A 2013 DODGE DART. I NO LONGER TRUST CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.*DT*JB

THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. SLOWS DOWN AS THE GAS PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED THEN ABRUPTLY BEGINS TO SPEED BACK UP. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO JERKS SOMETIMES WHILE INCREASING OR DECREASING SPEED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TAKEN TO KLABEN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (1106 W MAIN ST, KENT, OH 44240, (330) 673-3139) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,400.

I BOUGHT 2017 JEEP RENEGADE 1/2018. FIRST 6-9 MONTHS RAN GOOD NO ISSUES NOTICED. WHEN I REACHED APPROX. 28K MILES, THE JEEP STARTED SEVERE HARD SHIFTING WITH A CLUNK & CAR JERK ANYTIME I WAS DRIVING IN SPEED RANGE OF 27-32 MPH. OVER NEXT 5 MOS. 10/2018'FEB/MAR 2019, I TOOK MY JEEP TO SAME DEALER PURCHASED/SERVICED 5 DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME SAME COMPLAINT OF HARD SHIFT 27-32MPH. THIS SPORADICALLY HAPPENS WITH NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN ONLY THAT IT OCCURS DURING THAT SPEED RANGE. I COULD BE ACCELERATING OR COASTING IN TOWN TO DECELERATE AND WILL HAPPEN. I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO JEEP CHRYSELR 1/2019 AFTER 3RD DEALER SERVICE VISIT NOT RESOLVED. DEALER EVERY TIME SAID ALL NORMAL, NO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. NOW BOTH DEALER & JEEP INSIST HARD SHIFTING IS NORMAL CLAIMING IT IS AN ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION THAT HAS A 'CLUTCH' ENGAGEMENT AROUND THAT SPEED AND NORMAL TO FEEL WHEN IT ENGAGES OR DISENGAGES. BOTH DEALER & JEEP CLAIM THIS IS ALSO COMMON AND MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN IT REACHES COLDER WEATHER BUT REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUES. I ADVISED MY JEEP DIDN'T DO THIS FIRST FEW MONTHS WHEN BOUGHT NEW DURING WINTER SEASON JAN 2018, BUT STILL I AM TOLD BY BOTH DEALER & JEEP THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM TODAY AND NO ONE HAS RESOLVED. NOW THEY JUST SAY NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I EVEN STOPPED DRIVING DISTANCES MAY-JULY AFRAID TO GO OVER MY 36K WARRANTY. I AM GETTING CLOSE TO MY 36K WARRANTY EXP. NOW AND ASKED FOR ONE LAST TIME TO PLEASE FIGURE OUT THE HARD SHIFTING ISSUES BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I WON'T EVEN LET MY 3 TEEN DRIVING CHILDREN BEHIND WHEEL OF THE JEEP FOR FEAR THAT THE HARD SHIFT & CAR JERKS WOULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THEM TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I OWE TOO MUCH FOR TRADE-IN VALUE SO AM STUCK WITH A NEW JEEP THAT HAS INSANE SHIFTING ISSUES AND JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE, TAKE OWNERSHIP, OR RECALL TO FIX EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE CONSUMER REVIEWS SHOW SAME ISSUE

MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I ALWAYS DID THE OIL MAINTENANCE AS RECOMMENDED. I HAVE FOUND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THAT SAME YEAR HAVING THE SAME ENGINE ISSUES. THERE ARE 5 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM. THIS IS SO UPSETTING TO ME SINCE I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS CRASH WHEN MY RENEGADE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE IN MOTION. WHY WASN'T THERE A RECALL??

LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING, VEHICLE HAD BURNED UP 5QTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES 5000 MILES BARLEY ANY OIL ON DIPSTICK. CAR STALLED IN INTERSECTION AS DRIVER ACCELERATED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AND HAD OIL CHANGES BEFORE SERVICE DATE AND PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT.

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING OR ERROR MESSAGE. GENERALLY WHEN STARTING ON A STEEP HILL OR WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY FROM STOP AS IN WHEN ENTERING A FREEWAY ONRAMP. I DRIVE MOSTLY IN THE CITY WITH LOTS OF HILLS. VEHICLE DOES START BACK UP, BUT TENDS TO BE MORE PRONE TO STALLING ONCE ITS HAPPENED. I THINK IT MAY BE LINKED TO OIL PRESSURE SINCE THAT MESSAGE DID COME UP ONCE OF THE 20 TIMES ITS HAPPENED. WHEN OIL IS TOPPED OFF IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN, BUT THERE IS NO WARNING ABOUT OIL BEING LOW OR LOW PRESSURE GENERALLY. I LOOKED THIS UP ON A JEEP RENEGADE FORUM AND IT APPEARS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE. 2018 VERSIONS OF THIS VEHICLE APPEAR TO HAVE A RECALL IN EFFECT FOR 2 DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT SOUND IDENTICAL TO WHAT IM EXPERIENCING. MY GUESS IS THAT THE CURRENT RECALLS SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE AS WELL. ID MAINLY LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT ALSO GET ANY UPDATE ABOUT WHETHER A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IS LIKELY AS ID RATHER NOT PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET AS THEY SEEM COMPLEX.
