2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE IDLING AND WHEN APPLY GAS, I HAVE A HALF A TANK OF GAS.

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF USE THE BRAKE ROTORS HAD DEEP SCORING AND WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. AT LESS THAN A YEAR THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS SCORN AGAIN AND NOW THE VEHICLE PULLS TO ONE SIDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED HARD.

THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMPS ILLUMINATE AT INCORRECT TIMES. ENGINE STALL. IT STOPS AND GOES BACK AND FORTH WHEN GAS IS PRESSED. THE BACKUP CAMERA BLANKS OUT AND GOES BLUE OR THE PICTURE IS NOT THERE AT ALI OR EXTREMELY FUZZY.

STEERING LOCK UP. ON TWO OCCASIONS WE'VE HAD THE STEERING LOCK UP ON OUR 2017 JEEP RENEGADE TRAIL HAWK. FORTUNATELY, ONE HAPPENED AT A STOP SIGN AND THE OTHER OCCURRED WHEN WE DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED UP, OUR JEEP WAS ALSO EXPERIENCING ILLUMINATION OF MULTIPLE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL (T50 / NHTSA 17V-485) THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THE MALFUNCTIONING INDICATOR LIGHTS IN THE 2017 RENEGADE. HOWEVER, IT ONLY APPLIES TO RENEGADES BUILT FROM 9 JUN 2017 THROUGH 18 JUL 2017. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR VEHICLE WAS BUILT OUTSIDE OF THIS WINDOW AND THE SERVICE MANAGER WILL NOT REPROGRAM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER UNLESS IT IS IN THE VIP AS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC RENEGADE. I HAVE CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE TWICE ON THIS ISSUE AND WE STILL HAVE NO RESOLUTION.

I HAVE A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THERE IS A MASSIVE RECALL ON THEM DUE TO THE CAR SHUTTING OFF DUE TO FUEL PUMP AND OIL SENSOR ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON ME IN INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED CHRYSTLER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS RECALL UNTIL AFTER THE 1ST QUARTER IS OVER DUE TO PART AND FUNDING ISSUES. THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY JEEP RENEGADE STARTED STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE ROAD, IT ALSO STRUGGLES A LITTLE TO START BACK UP AFTER SAID STALLING. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD CHILD AND SHE WAS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN THE STALLING HAPPEN. IT IS ABSOLUTELY A HAZARD TO BE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM..LIFE THREATENING!

ON 4 OCCASIONS NOW SINCE OWNING MY JEEP RENEGADE THE VEHICLE WILL JERK, CHECK ENHINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE VEHICLE WILL LOCK IN 3RD GEAR. I TRY TO SWITCH TO MANUAL SHIFT AND WILL NOT SHIFT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH 50 MILES, AND NOW OVER 28,000 MILES WITH REOCCURRING PROBLEMS. ON INSTANCE THE VEHICLE LIGHT WARNING COMES ON INDICATING ALL OF THE LIGHTS ARE OUT IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT BUILD INDICATOR WILL REMAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND CUT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER ON THE FIRST INSTANCE, REPLACED THE BSM ON THE SECOND OCCASION, AND SINCE THEN 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE IN SOME WAY AND FCA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THESE ONGOING ISSUES THAT ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

AS DRIVING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP I COULD HEAR THE BRAKES SQUEAKING. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS SINCE IT WAS A BRAND NEW CAR, MAYBE THE BRAKES NEED TO BE BROKEN IN. ALTHOUGH, NOW HAVING OVER 20K MILES, THE BRAKE SQUEAK HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME CAUSING MY ROTORS TO BECOME DAMAGED WITH DEEP GROOVES. THE CAR ALSO JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT IS EMBARRASSING, ESPECIALLY WHEN PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE, FOR MY BRAND NEW, BARELY A YEAR OLD, CAR TO BE JERKING SO ROUGHLY. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, PLEASE SPEAK UP SO THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED. THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT BUT HAVE NOT SPOKEN UP, NOW IS THE TIME. DONT WAIT!

MY CAR HAS A RECALL ON IT AND CHYSTER NO LONGER HAVE THE PART NOR KNOW WHEN THEY CAN GET IT I WORRYED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND FEEL IF THEY CAN'T REPLACE IT I ETHIER NEED ANOTHER CAR OR THEY JUST TAKE THIS ONE BACK THE CAR DON'T LAST ON GAS IT'S RUNNING DIFFERENT AND I FEEL ANY LONGER THIS RECALL MIGHT EFFECT SOMETHING ELSE
