2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

ENGINE COOLING FAN WAS REPLACED AT 50 THOUSAND MILES, CODES SHOW THAT THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING THE TRANSMISSION THREW CODES DEAD BATTERY. IT LOCKS UP AND DOESN'T WANT TO START EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY.THEIR WAS TWO DIFFERENT SENSORS THAT THREW A CODE. I'VE GOTTEN A MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE AIRBAGS.ON EVERYTHING I HAVE TOLD YOU THE CAR WAS SITTING STILL. EXCEPT ON THE TRANSMISSION, WHEN IT GOES FROM 3RD GEAR TO PASSING GEAR IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD. AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT. I MAINTAIN REGULAR OIL CHANGES .AVERAGE OF 1 PER MONTH. IT'S BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. AT 50 THOUSAND MILES IT STARTED HAVING A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS GO WRONG. I FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A LEMON AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO ADMIT IT.

AIRBAG SERVICE IS ON AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE ENGINE IS USING UP A LOT OF OIL IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. 2000 MILES AFTER MY OIL CHANGE I DISCOVERED THAT MY ENGINE HAS NO OIL LEFT IN IT AND MY GAS IS BEING DEPLETED AT A VERY FAST RATE

COOLING FAN FAILURE. FUSE BLEW ON FAN AND LED TO RAPID SPIKE IN COOLANT TEMPERATURE. LED TO P0481 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE. REPLACED BLOWN FAN FUSE BUT FAN CYCLES ON AND OFF AND SEEMS TO BE WOBBLING OR HAVE BEARING PROBLEMS. BASED ON SEARCHES, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE JEEP RENEGADE BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR 2017 YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING ON 8/30/19 MY VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AND MADE A WEIRD ELECTRICAL SOUND WHEN TRYING TO START AGAIN . BOTH TIMES I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ON THE STREET GETTING READY TO TURN

LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHED ON. CHECKED OIL WHEN GOT HOME AND IT WAS 2.5 QUARTS LOW. HAD THE OIL CHANGED 5,000 MILES AGO. IT ONLY HAS 16,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE SHOWED OVER A QUART LOW AS WELL.

ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND GAS PEDALS WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AND THE RPM DID NOT INCREASE. PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND EXIT; WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS ONLY. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT.

VEHICLE AT FIRST WAS NOT TURNING ON THEN THE FOLLOWING DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK IT STALLED IN THE HIGHWAY I WAS PRESSING THE GAS BUT IT JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS COULD HAVE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. JUST ON SIDE NOTE I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE PUSH TO START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ADDITIONALLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SUGGESTED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BE SHIFTED TO THE PARK POSITION BEFORE SHIFTING INTO A DRIVE GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COUGHLIN MARYSVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 15777 WATKINS RD, MARYSVILLE, OH 43040, (937) 246-5386) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO THE TYPE OF FUEL AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TWO QUARTS LOW ON ENGINE OIL. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL SUCTION DOOR WAS MISALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL 18V731000. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN HIGH IN AUGUST AND THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS WHILE IN PARK, IN DRIVE, IN MOTION, AT RED LIGHTS, WHILE ACCELERATING, WHILE DECELERATING OR SIMPLY CRUISING AT STEADY RATE IN TOWN OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT FOR TWO TO THREE TANK FILLS OF GAS (MID AND PREMIUM GRADE). THE AIR FILTER WAS RECENTLY REPLACED AND LOOKS NORMAL. WE DISCOVERED THE RECALL MENTIONED ABOVE AND THE SYMPTOMS CERTAINLY SEEM SIMILAR.

I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IN MY VEHICLE TO OUR DEALERSHIP TWICE WITHIN 2 MONTHS ON THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR HAS BEEN SPUTTERING AT IDLE AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING IN BETWEEN 25-30MPH THE TRANSMISSION GETS A HARD KICK, IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF YOU ARE GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUG WIRES, AND SPARK PLUGS. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 32,000 MILES AND IS MOSTLY DRIVEN IN TOWN, I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING AT 65MPH OR HIGHER.
