2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving 35-36 MPH, the vehicle made an abnormally loud whining sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where an unknown software update was performed; however, the failure recurred while driving 49 MPH. The contact stated that the engine revved significantly as if the transmission was shifting to a higher gear. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Tyson Motor (1 SW Frontage Rd, Shorewood, IL 60404), where it was test-driven, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,500.

The grounding wire in the wiring harness of the driver's side, rear light assembly has melted. According to owner forums on the internet, there aren umerous reports of this being a problem.

I was driving and all of a sudden the “Service Transmission” light came on and my car would not go past the first gear. The light went off and my car went back to normal. It has been doing this on and off for about 4 days. I took it to Landers Chrysler Jeep and Dodge of Norman Oklahoma and they did a diagnostic. They said it needs a software update but they refused to fix it. I took it to a mechanic and they stated that there is nothing mechanically wrong with the transmission, it is completely software related.

The component that failed is the wheel lug bolts. The cap of each of the 20 lug bolts is of a metal alloy that expands under normal driving conditions, making it impossible to remove the lug bolts by an ordinary operator in the event of a tire failure. The car dealership identified this problem during tire rotation service and stated that the problem OEM lug bolts are endemic to Jeep vehicles. This was the first instance that I was aware of this problem. The dealership require the consumer to pay for replacements wholly made of steel. MOPAR charges over $11/lug bolt. The cost of a full set of 20 lug bolts is over $200. Why doesn't the manufacturer or dealer recall and replace the lug bolts at no cost to the consumer?

This Jeep Renegade model have had various problems including rapid oil loss caused by cracks in the oil pump housing, as well as a loss in fuel pressure and I believe I’m experiencing these problems and there hasn’t been a recall for me vehicle so Id like to see if it needs to be recalled

The contact’s daughter owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, she was notified that the front passenger’s side seat belt was not securely buckled. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, and it was confirmed that the seat belt buckle strap was inoperable. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available and the cost of the repair. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V680000 (Seat Belts). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

The passenger safety belt latch comes undone for no reason. This happens frequently. We always check to make sure it is properly fastened with the clicking sound. While driving, the buckle comes unlatched causing a safety issue. I have taken my Jeep to the Jeep Dealer and they stated there are no recalls on this particular ID and that both safety belt systems will have to be replaced for $700. This is a safety hazard due to a defective safety belt system.

Lose of power when accelerating out of parking lot. This now has happened 3 times with no warning light coming on in the car and vehicle is regularly maintained without issues.

Car stalled in the middle of the busy road with no warning when accelerating from a right turn between 12-24 mph and a "low oil pressure sensor" light displayed and disappeared for 3 seconds. Received oil change that day and Valvoline did not mention any concerns about oil level. The next day, my car had been driving for 10+ min and struggled to accelerate out of light, specifically in range of 30-45 mph and the RPMs shot up to 3000. Car kept running but struggled to down shift. Terrified of this happening on my daily interstate and state roads drive, especially in winter!!! Taking to dealership service department to hopefully get this huge safety issue fixed.
