2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE BEGAN TO STALL OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING AND ACTING AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO CRANK. NO LIGHTS ARE ON. I'VE NOTICED SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME REASON. I HAVE THE 2018 JEEP RENEGADE 4X2 2.4 LITER.

BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2018. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH, THE USB PORT THAT CONNECTS TO CAR PLAY WOULD CONNECT THEN DISCONNECT WHEN IT RAINED. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE ISSUE UNLESS I BROUGHT IT IS WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AND SHOWED THEM. WHICH I COULDN'T BECAUSE THEY WERE ALWAYS CLOSED WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. WITHIN THAT SAME MONTH, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS AIR IN THE BRAKE LINE. EVERY SO OFTEN, THE SATELLITE RADIO WILL CUT OUT AND SAY "ACQUIRING SIGNAL". CAR HAS ALSO STALLED OUT ON ME 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. TWICE BEFOREHAND, WHEN I MADE A SHARP RIGHT TURN, THE OIL LIGHT WOULD POP ON FOR LITERALLY 2 SECONDS AND GO OFF. CAR WOULD STALL OUT AND WHEN I CHECKED THE DIP STICK, IT SHOWED I HAD BARELY ANY OIL. MANUAL SAYS EVERY 6000 MILES. OIL RUNS OUT BEFORE THE 6000 MILE MARK.IF I KNEW I'D BE PAYING OUT SO MUCH IN OIL , I WOULDN'T HAVE PAID SO MUCH FOR THIS STUPID TRUCK. ITS A COMPLETE RIP OFF. ONE OF THE TIMES IT STALLED OUT, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT STALLED OUT JUST AS I WAS TURNING AND A CAR WAS COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND ALMOST HIT ME. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE TO WHICH THE DEALERSHIP WOULD TELL ME THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I TOOK IT THERE. OR THAT THEY CANT FIX IT UUNTIL I CAN REENACT THE PROBLEM FOR THEM

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES AND I ALMOST GOT HIT TODAY I WAS PRESSING THE GAS AT A LIGHT TURNING LEFT AND MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND MY PASSENGER FREAKED OUT THINKING WE WERE GOING TO GET HIT, THE GAS PEDAL WENT DOWN AND THEN MY CAR KINDA OF JUMPED AND FINALLY ACCELERATED BUT IT'S DELAYED VERY OFTEN ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY IT TAKES TIME TO ACCELERATE AND I PRESS THE GAS SLOWLY. ALSO I HAVE TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE AND FEEL LIKE IT DRAINS OUT QUICKLY.

CONTINENTAL SPORT 265/65/R16/ THE TIRE BUBBLED AND POPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD IT SEPARATED WITH OUT ANY INDICATION. WHEN I STARTED TO GET ONTO THE INTERSTATE IT RUPTURED WITHOUT BEING PUNCTURED

MY WIFE HAS HAD HER RENEGADE FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW. WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER WE GOT IT SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN TOWN AND IT STARTED SPUTTERING AND SHUT OFF UNDER A RED LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ABOUT GOT HIT. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED BACK AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. ONCE OFF THE ROAD SHE LET IT SIT AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME BUT IT CUT OFF AGAIN. WE LEFT IT OVER NIGHT AT THE SHERIFF'S DEPT AND GOT IT THE NEXT DAY AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THEY KEPT IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF DAYS IT STARTED MESSING UP AGAIN. SO YET AGAIN WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND SAID THEY FIXED IT. NOW AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS ITS DOING THE SAME THING AS BEFORE AND ABOUT CAUSED HER TO GET HIT. IT'S BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP SO HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIGURE IT OUT. BUT AFTER READING ALL OF THE REPORTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE I DON'T HAVE MUCH FAITH IN THAT. HOPEFULLY JEEP WILL SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE AND RECALL THE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

FIRST, SPEAKER KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT THEN 12V PORT WAS DEAD. SCREEN SHOT OFF A FEW TIMES. HANDS FREE ACCESS STOPPED WORKING A FEW TIMES. NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME (3 DIFFERENT STALL OUTS), THE CAR IS SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS LAST TIME, IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN ANOTHER SHIFT OTHER THAN DRIVE AND WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK IT RAN ROUGH THEN JUST DIED. CAME BACK ON LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AFTER SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING.

VEHICLE WITH ~2000 MILES ON IT STALLED OUT (ENGINE TURNED OFF) MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. SOON AS I COULD GET TO A SAFE LOCATION AND PUT IN PARK IT STALLED AGAIN. HAS A FULL TANK OF GAS AND NO OTHER SYMPTOMS. HAD BEEN RUNNING WITHOUT ISSUE EARLIER IN THE DAY.

I CAN BE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE WILL JUST CUT OUT. WILL START AGAIN BUT STOPS EVERY FEW MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED ALSO WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN OCTOBER 2018. THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT FINALLY JUST STOPPED STALLING ON IT'S OWN BUT NOW IT HAS RETURNED!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR STARTED STALLING AND JUST CUT OFF EACH TIME I TIME TO START IT AND HIT THE GAS THE CAR KEEP STALLING AND I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, I SAT FOR 10 MINS THEN I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT OUT OF TRAFFIC. FINALLY I GOT IT STARTED BACK UP DROVE IT MAYBE 15/20 MINS DOWN THE ROAD IT DID THE SAME THING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO ALMOST BE HIT FROM BEHIND. I DID THE SAME STEPS AS I DID BEFORE SO I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A PARKING LOT AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO HENDRICK IN CONCORD THEY WERE OUT OF CARS HE SUGGESTED THAT I COULD COME GET MY CAR BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, I TOLD HIM WHY WOULD I DRIVE A CAR THAT KEEPS CUTTING OFF THAT'S A DANGER TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. NEXT DAY I HAD MY CAR TOWED AGAIN TO KEFFER IN CHARLOTTE BECAUSE THE GUY TOLD ME THEY WOULD PUT ME IN A CAR AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I CAN NO RENT FROM ENTERPRISE I SPENT $27 ON LYFT TO GET THERE AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE CARS I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 5 HRS AND STILL ENDED UP GOING HOME WITH NO VEHICLE I HAD TO MISS A DAY OF WORK AND THEN I AM GOING TO MISS ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE MY VEHICLE AND DID NOT PUT ME IN A VEHICLE AND DID NOT WANT TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THERE EMPLOYEE GAVE ME FALSE INFORMATION IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYONE I SPOKE TO BLEW ME OFF AND DIDN'T CARE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THEM FOR ABOUT $24,000. I FEED HEARING SOMETHING IN MY AIR FOR MONTHS AND KEPT TAKING THE CAR BACK AND THEY KEPT SAYING THEY FIXED IT AND I KEPT HEARING AND I ALSO NOTIFIED THEM ABOUT MY CAR NOT PICKING UP SPEED AND BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CODES THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I HAD HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT FROM BEHIND 3 TIMES BECAUSE MY CALL WAS NOT PICKING UP SPEED WHEN I WOULD SWITCH LANES I COULD BE GOING 70 ON 485 AND MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING 20 AND DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PRESS THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE IS THE PROBLEM.

CAR ONLY HAS 4000 MILES ( STILL LIKE NEW). ONCE INCIDENT I HAD WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN I SLOWED DOWN THEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULDNT GO . I HAD TO PULL OVER AND COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK. IVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT DEALER AND SERVICE DEPT, BUT NO CALL BACKS.
