2016 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the rearview camera image was intermittently blue or blank while reversing. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer determined that the infotainment system and the rearview camera needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a claim was filed; however, the claim was later denied. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

All motor mounts poorly manufactured too light. Need recalled as its a known problem.

While driving the car, the wheel locked and we lost acceleration, and a warning light for the electric engine throttle came on. The car is undriveable, and we are extremely lucky that we were not in an accident. We suspect that the W79 recall for other Jeeps is implicated for our car.

While driving around I suddenly got an alert from the car that the driver's side back up light, left turn signal light/rear tail light was no longer functioning. I had to drive around without people driving behind me knowing of any intent to turn left, which was a safety issue. I took it to an independent mechanic who replaced the bulbs and everything was back to normal, but only for 30 minutes. The same thing happened again on my drive home and I had to turn around to take it back to the mechanic. Upon further investigation, the mechanic noted that the connector for the light was burnt out and thus, causing a faulty connection, that had nothing to do with the lights themselves, and that could fail at any time. In trying to get a new connector, the mechanic found that they are on backorder, presumably because this is an issue being faced by numerous jeep renegade owners. So now, even if I wanted to fix the problem, I can't, which again, is a safety issue.

All motor engine mounts and transmission mounts notoriously gone bad....poorly manufactured. Should be recalled to be replaced on ALL these vehicles

On more than one occasion, this car has stalled or stopped, leaving me coasting to the side of the road in active traffic. I was going about 30-35 mph. It has had oil consumption problems since 2021 when I purchased it. It was presented to me at point of sale as gas consumption...it wasn't getting good mileage and would need a tune up. Also misrepresented as having a spare and it did not. On 4 Aug 2024 I completed the most recent oil consumption test and it failed. Leith Jeep refused to provide me with paperwork and said "no charge." But it needed another quart of oil which I added. Before the test was completed it needed a quart of oil. I have all records and will attach here if possible or email under separate emails. Not sure how many doc can be attached. I had recall repairs made. My car is part of the class action lawsuit but is unsafe. I am told to correct I need a new engine which will cost me out of pocket $11,000.00 due to no longer under warranty. But it has had this problem since I bought it and prior, an oil consumption test was done by the dealer in possession then.

My car has been struggling to speed up and now recently struggling to start. It did show a ADS light when trying to start and also something about a vehicle dynamic system.

Was driving with cruise co trip on going about 70 mph. On an interstate. All of a sudden I saw my dash all go out and was pushing down on my accelerator and had no power and car was slowing down. Next it came back on and the the steering wheel light with exclamation showed up. Today 2 days later driving and it states service 4wd and the. When at a stop light it again did the same thing and this time shut down. This is a high priority in my mind I can’t allow younger drivers to drive. I see other complaints like this too.My spouse also observed the first time. Could of cause fatalities and or severe harm.

The engine cooling fan died. There was a recall for it and it was supposed to be replaced according to the v54 recall. My vehicle still has the version 1 fan even though it was supposed to have been replaced back in 2019. Since the fan does not work I cannot idle for too long or else the car will overheat.

I'm getting multiple messages displayed saying lights are out when they are not, have had many instances where the language is changed to something else. And the cooling fan stops working intermittently causing over heating and most recent melted wiring harness plugs to and from fan.
