2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

SO I'VE HAD MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE FOR ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AND ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY RADIO STARTED TURNING OFF AND ON BY ITSELF AND THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND SOMETIMES RIGHT WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON. AND AT THE SAME TIME THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SPRAYER THAT CLEAN THE WINDOWS STOPED WORKING AND THE BOTTLE OF WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID IS FILLED AND THERE'S NO RUST OR EROSION ON THE HOLE WHERE IT SPRAYS FROM.

ECELARATING TO PROCEED ONTO A BUSY STREET AND CAR STALLED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT IT IN PARK AND STEPPED ON THE BREAK. IT TOOK TWO TRIES TO RESTART.*DT CONSUMER STATED TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS VERY LOW ON OIL. THERE WAS NO CHARGE. THEY TOPPED OFF THE OIL. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE WAS NO INDICATOR LIGHT THAT SHOWED LOW OIL. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN IT STALLED. IT WENT OFF WHEN I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP. IT DID NOT COME ON AGAIN.*JB

MY RENEGADE 2018 KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHILE AT MOST STOPS I TAKE IT IN SERVICE AT LEAST 8 TIMES AND CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THE MECHANIC CAN'T FIND NOTHING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY RUDE AND NOT HELPFUL THEY WERE RUDE I WANT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OFFERED ME THE LOANER 6 TIMES AND DID NOTHING ABOUT CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM

I HAVE NOT HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR ONLY HAVE HAD IT FOR AT LEAST 9 MONTHS NOW DROVE IT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW ONLY 2 MILES ON IT. MY TIRES ARE HORRIBLE THE TREAD IS SHOWING ON ALL 4 TIRES NOT ONLY THAT THE SUSPENSION ON THE CAR IS COMPLETELY UNALIGNED. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING OR HAD ANY ACCIDENTS IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. NOT ONLY THAT I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

JEEP RENEGADE 2018, AT 12 THOUSAND PLUS MILES, JUST STARTED USING OIL. I BROUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW, TOOK IT IN FOR THE REGULAR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES, THEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON THE JEEP JUST SHUT OFF. I WAITED A SECOND OR SO AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I WENT BACK HOME MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY. WE ADD A 4 PLUS QUARTS OF THE CORRECT OIL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, FOR AN APPOINTMENT. IT TOOK 4 PLUS DAYS TO GET AN APPOINTMENT. BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WE CHECK THE OIL AND AGAIN IT BARELY GOT ANY IN IT. WE ADD JUST ENOUGH TO GET TO THE APPOINTMENT. NOW THEY SAY I HAVE TO DRIVE IT 1000 MILES FOR A COMPRESSION TEST. THEY KNOW IT'S THE MOTOR!. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO BE PUT AT RISK OF BREAKING DOWN TO PROVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG. WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY THE NEW CARS HAVE WHY CAN'T THEY SEE THE ISSUE'S ON THE COMPUTER?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. UPON SHIFTING THE VEHICLE FROM PARK INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED, THE GAUGE STILL DISPLAYED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LAWLEY TOYOTA (2750 US-180, SILVER CITY, NM 88061, (575) 538-3777) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD OCCUR WHEN THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMMED ITSELF. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PLACED ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT SOMEONE FROM THE CHRYSLER CARE MANAGEMENT TEAM WOULD CONTACT HER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64.

BRAND NEW JEEP RENEGADE 2018 PURCHASED JAN. AFTER ONE APPROX. 2MOS. TECH IN CAR NOT WORKING AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR A WEEK. BROUGHT TO HARR IN WORC. COULD NOT FIGURE OUT. REPORTED TO CUSTOMER CARE FOR A CASE NUMBER. RADIO THEN BLACKED OUT/THEN THE SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRED. THE CAR STALLED OUT IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC GOING APPROX. 40 TO 50 WITH MY KIDS IN CAR. SAME DAY CONTACTED JEEP CUST. CARE WHO WERE TO MAKE ME AND APPOINTMENT WITH RENTAL IN MILLBURY. NO RENTAL WAS EVER BOOKED. LOST WORK TIME. MILLBURY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN OIL ISSUE AND WHEN LOW THE CAR WILL STALL TO PROTECT THE ENGINE NOT THE PASSENGERS. THEY TOLD US THERE IS NO RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT NOBODY HAS DIED OR BEEN HURT YET. N I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM STATION JEEP/MANSFIELD, THE STICKER SAID DEC. 6TH/9000 MILES. WHEN I LAST WENT TO THEM FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, THEY PUT ANOTHER STICKER ON UNDER IT WITH SAME DATE DEC 6TH BUT AT 5000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE GIRL AT THE SERVICE DESK AND LIONEL THAT I AM TO HAVE IT CHECKED NOW AFTER 500 MILES. THEY BOTH EXPLAINED THIS OIL ISSUE TO ME IN DETAIL STATING THAT THE CAR BURNS FAST AND IS KNOWN TO STALL. THERE ARE MANY MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON LINE. NO WARNING SIGNS FOR OIL HAVE EVER COME ON MY DASHBOARD. I AM IN CONTACT WITH FIAT CHRYSLER IN MICHIGAN WHO HAVE NOT DONE A THING BUT TO OFFER WARRANTY AND A NUMBER IN CASE MY CAR STALLS AGAIN. I AM MOST RECENTLY HAVING A FEW OTHER TECH ISSUES...WHICH I WAS TOLD IS RELATED TO THE OIL BEING LOW. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE WE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE.*DT CONSUMER CONTACTED FIAT CHRYSLER.*JB

WINDSHEILD CRACKS VERY EASILY I LIVE IN ARIZONA ALL AUTOMOBILES ON THE HIGHWAY WILL HAVE PEBBLES OR SMALL DEBRIS HIT THE WINDSHEILD. IN THE FIRST WEEK, I CAN TELL BY THE SOUND BUT THE SMALLEST ROCK CRACKED MY SHEILD. I TOOK IT IN TO HOPE THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER. THEY TOLD ME USE MY INSURANCE AND FILE A CLAIM ON THE WAY HOME ANTHER SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHEILD AND I HAVE ANTHER CRACK. IVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES IN ARIZONA NEVER HACVE I HAVE NEVER SEEN A WINSHILED BREAK SO EASILY AND IF I GET A CLAIM SUBMITTED WEEKLY MY RATES WILL GO UP... EVEYTIME I GO FOR A CARWASH THERE IS SEVERAL JEEP RENEGADES THERE GETTING THERE ROCK CHIPS REPLACED OR FIXED.. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED THERE IS NOT A RECALL OR THERE NOT TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF I SEARCH ONLINE THERE IS SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO. COMPLAIN ON BLOGS. BUT JEEP REFUSES TO ADMIT THERES AN ISSUE.

I PURCHASED A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE AT THE END OF JULY 2018, IT HAD WORKED WELL UNTIL THE END OF JUNE 2019. I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO COLORADO AND I WAS ON THE ROAD FOR A WEEK WITH NO ISSUES, BUT ON JUNE 28TH AS I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 THROUGH KANSAS AT ABOUT 80 MPH WHEN MY ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL OUT. AT FIRST IT WAS DROPPING ABOUT 10 - 15 MPH, BUT THEN IT WAS QUICKLY DROPPING 30 - 40 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE RIGHT MOST LANE, BUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE MY ENGINE STALLED OUT COMPLETELY. I HAD TO RESTART MY CAR A FEW TIMES, BUT AFTER A FEW RESTARTS THE NOTIFICATIONS DISAPPEARED. EVERY TIME THE ENGINE STALLED OUT, I WOULD LOSE THE USE OF MY GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS. THE ELECTRONICS WERE STILL WORKING, BUT DRIVING WAS NON-RESPONSIVE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY NURSE MY CAR INTO THE NEAREST CITY AND EVENTUALLY GET TOWED TO THE NEAREST JEEP DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT THE JEEP THE NEXT DAY (JUNE 29TH) AND DID SOME COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD ME THAT THE JEEP WAS GOOD TO GO. I MADE IT ABOUT 180 MILES AND HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK ONTO I-70 IN COLORADO WHEN THE ISSUE RETURNED. ENGINE STALLED OUT, DROPPED SPEED TO ZERO MPH AND PEDALS BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. I HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL HOURS TO BE TOWED TO AURORA, CO TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP (LARRY H MILLER JEEP). MY JEEP WAS WITH LARRY H MILLER FROM JUNE 29TH TO JULY 3RD. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DROVE IT SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES, DESPITE MY ODOMETER NOT MATCHING THEIR INFORMATION, AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH MY JEEP. I MADE IT 10 MILES FROM THE DEALER BEFORE THE STALLING ISSUE RETURNED. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH ON A CONGESTED NARROW HIGHWAY IN DENVER, CO. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T HELP AND TO SEE ANOTHER DEALER. I WAS TOWED TO A THIRD DEALER, WHO WAS ALSO NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUE.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN MARCH, WENT TO HAVE FIRST OIL CHANGE DONE AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE DEALERSHIP HAD ME COME IN EVERY 1000 MILES AND AFTER THE 3RD TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE PROBLEM WASN'T GETTING BETTER AND THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. SO AT 3000 MILES I HAD TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE DAY I PICKED MY VEHICLE UP FROM THE SERVICE SHOP WHILE DRIVING DOING 40 MPH THE CAR SEIZED UP ON ME AND I HAD TO MAKE MY WAY TO SAFETY AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. I INFORMED MY CASE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TAKE IT INTO THE SHOP. MONTH LATER ON MY WAY HOME WITH THE KIDS IN THE JEEP DOING 50 MPH THE VEHICLE SEIZED UP AGAIN AND I HAD TO PULL OFF TO SAFETY AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE JEEP IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY. 4 DAYS LATER THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT AND I COULD COME PICK IT. ON SUNDAY, JULY 21ST I WAS HEADING OUT OF TOWN ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SEIZED UP ON ME. WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 44 MPH WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS 7 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND CONSTRUCTION GOING ON WHICH MADE IT HARD TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE. AFTER THAT IT TOOK ME 15 MINUTES TO GET BACK ON THE HWY AND WORK MY WAY ACROSS 7 LINES OF TRAFFIC. ONCE I MADE IT TO THE RIGHT LANE I HEARD A THUMP AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEL FASTER THAN 30 MPH. I FINALLY MADE IT OFF THE HWY AND WHILE SITTING AT THE LIGHT THE VEHICLE SEIZED UP AGAIN AND I HAD TO RESTART IT 3 TIMES TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE LIGHT.
