2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE, FIRST THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY NEW TIRES. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME IT A REAR DRIVE AXLE MODULE CHRYSLER KNOW ABOUT IT AND TRYING TO FIND A FIX.I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS NOISE PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR, WITH THEM LOOKING AT ME LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.THE NOISE GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER THE FASTER I GO. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON THE FREEWAY WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE MY TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES BECAUSE THE REAR ONES WORE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD ON BOTH REAR TIRES COULD THIS BE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM?

I HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR EVER TO BUY THE CARD OF MY DREAM: A JEEP RENEGADE AND I FINALLY GOT IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AND NOT EVEN A PARKING TICKET AND WITH THE SAME INSURANCE FOR FOURTEEN YEAR (GEICO). ONE EVENING ON MY WAY TO THE SUPERMARKET AND WHILE MAKING A LEFT, I FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, I KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT SLIDE VERY SLOWLY, AND BOOM! I WAS HIT ON THE BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AN OLD PICK TRUCK. (A LEFT IN AZ, YOU ARE NEGLIGENT). WHAT A NIGHTMARE! THE POLICE TAKING THE REPORT WAS SOMETHING THAT I COULD NOT EXPLAIN, HIM TALKING AND LAUGHING WITH THE YOUNG MEN THAT HIT ME AS IF HE KNEW THE RELATIVES THAT CAME TO AID. I CALLED MY INSURANCE FOR A TOW TRUCK AND THEY WERE UNABLE BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTERS WERE UPDATING. I JUST KNEW THAT I WAS NOT NEGLIGENT, AND I WAS RIGHT. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR JEEP RENEGADE 2017 FROM THE FCA STATING THAT A LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE MAY LEAD TO AN ENGINE STALL RESULTING IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, WHICH MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. REMEDY: ALL OF THE INVOLVE VEHICLES MUST HAVE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED. TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AT MORE CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PART FOR THE CAR IT WAS A HASSLE, A LADY AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD NO IDEA IF THEY HAD ANYTHING AND FINALLY TODAY, I CALL SEVERAL AGENCIES I HAD IDEA EXISTED (8/12/2019). DID I GET AN ATTORNEY? UNLESS THERE IS DEATH, DISMEMBERMENT, DIU AN THE SUCH THERE IS NO CASE. MY INTACT DRIVING RECORD IS DAMAGE (THAT IS ANOTHER STORY OF WHAT I WENT THROUGH), I HAVE FLOATING RIBS AND PAIN IN ALL PARTS OF MY BODY. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE. THE VERY LEAST I WANT IS VINDICATION FOR MY DRIVING RECORD. HOW?

THIS 2.4L MULTI-AIR ENGINE CONSUMES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. THERE IS NO "LOW PRESSURE" INDICATION UNLESS THE MOTOR IS A COUPLE QUARTS LOW AND HARD CORNERING OR STOPPING, AND IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES THE ENGINE STALLS OUT. THIS FIRST OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A TSB PRINTOUT RECOMMENDING I KEEP A QUART OF OIL ON HAND. SINCE THEN EVERY OIL CHANGE I HAVE BEEN LOW AND I'VE ADDED ABOUT ONE QUART PER THOUSAND MILES LIKE THE TSB INDICATES BUT IT IS STARTING TO CONSUME IT WORSE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT OIL CHANGES WERE SUBSTANTIALLY FURTHER APART AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN TO DO SO, YET THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT I AM LOW OR OUT. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO BLOW THE ENGINE ON THIS VEHICLE. *DT SEE ATTACHMENT TESTIMONY IS MORE THAN 2,000 CHARACTERS.*JB

TAKATA RECALL MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE SEEMS TO DO THIS JERK / STALLING THING WHILE DRIVING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL STARTS TO GET LOW. WHILE RUNNING MY CAR HAS THIS LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I REMEMBER SEEING SMOKE COME FROM THE ENGINE AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR IF THAT.

GAS PEDAL/ACCELERATION WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE, IN A CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AFTER I FIRST START THE VEHICLE, PLACE IT IN REVERSE, AND COAST/ROLL BACKWARDS (OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, INTO THE ROAD, INTO TRAFFIC). SLAMMING MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL RESULTS IN NO ACCELERATION, SO I JUST ROLL SLOWLY INTO THE ROAD. VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY AFTER I THEN SHIFT TO DRIVE. NOT BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE IN REVERSE WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK EVERY MORNING IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I TOOK THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY THEN TESTED THIS ISSUE ON 2016 RENEGADE, 2017 RENEGADE, AND 2018 RENEGADE. THE 2016 AND 2017 RENEGADES HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THE 2018 RENEGADE REPORTEDLY DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH A JEEP ENGINEER THAT HAS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE BEFORE, AND TRIED REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AS A SOLUTION. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, SO THE ENGINEER CLAIMS THAT IT'S "WORKING AS DESIGNED." CLEARLY IT'S DESIGNED UNSAFELY. I HAVE INCLUDED MY DEALERSHIP'S NOTES INDICATING THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND MY (AND OTHER) RENEGADES. AND THAT THEY ENDED UP DIAGNOSING THIS AS "ISSUE IS NORMAL NO PROBLEM FOUND."

FUEL GUAGE METER SHOWING WRONG LEVEL. MY GAS IS FULL EVEN THOUGH THE DIGITAL METER SHOWING 1/2.

EVERY TIME I TURN MY VEHICLE ON AND THE A/C UNIT IS ON MY CAR BEGINS TO MAKE A SQUEALING SOUND. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT OR IDLING AND I HAVE MY AIR CONDITIONER ON.
