ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET I GOT A WEIRD MESSAGE THAT SAID CAR MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT GEARS. I TURNED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND THEN THE CAR JUST STALLED OUT. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT STALLED FOR 10-15 SECONDS THEN FINALLY TURNED OVER. AS MANY TIMES AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS ON THIS? TO HAVE YOUR CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE DRIVING IS DEFINITELY NOT IDEAL NOR IS IT SAFE TO SAY THE LEAST.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND MY VEHICLE JUST STOPPED. ENGINE WAS STILL ON BUT JUST QUIT MOVING I PRESSED THE GAS BUT NO RESPONSE. I TURNED THE IGNITION OF AND BACK ON AND IT STARTED BUT THEN AN SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH. I CAN'T BELIEVE AN AIR BAG WARNING WOULD MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING AND NO CONTROL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON 3 OCCASIONS SINCE NEW MY CAR HAS CONSUMED ALL OF IT'S OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS REALIZED. THE ONLY INDICATOR IS WHEN TURNING A CORNER, A LOW PRESSURE WARNING ILLUMINATES AND POWER IS CUT TO THE ENGINE, WHICH LEAVES ME UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THEN UPON CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, NO OIL REGISTERS ON THE DIPSTICK. I'VE GOTTEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT 7500 MILE INTERVALS AS REMINDED BY THE ONBOARD SYSTEM. THE OIL IS FULLY GONE BY ABOUT 6000 MILES OR LESS.

THE ENGINE WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC OR GO DOWN THE ROAD. THIS WAS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE TIME IN THE LAST WEEK. THERE IS RECALLS ON THE 4WD BUT NOT THE 2WD. THIS WILL CREATE A CRASH FOR THESE MODELS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO.

ENGINE
PURCHASED THE RENEGADE BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD IT STALL SEVERAL TIMES. BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. GOT THE OIL CHANGED AND NOT EVEN 2,000 MILES LATER STALLED AGAIN AND WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL, IT WAS EMPTY. THIS IS A HUGE IF NOT IMPERATIVE SAFETY ISSUE FOR SOMEONE TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE FOR A VEHICLE WITH 54,000 MILES NOW TO JUST STALL. THIS IS APPALLING THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND OR RECALLED. IS IT GOING TO TAKE CASUALTIES TO GET SOMETHING DONE? THE FIRST TIME IT STALLED THE OIL LIGHT CANE ON AS I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THE NEXT WAS DRIVING DOWN THE SAME STREET AT THE SAME STOP SIGN. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET AND THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

ENGINE
VEHICLE HAS 14000 MILES, HAS STALLED SIX TIMES IN 13 MONTHS. MOST RECENTLY, DRIVING LESS THAN ONE BLOCK AWAY, MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND LOST ALL POWER, DASH INSTRUCTIONS STATED THAT VEHICLE MUST BE IN P TO SHIFT GEARS. I WAS NOT SHIFTING GEARS. VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHUT OFF, WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL ATTEMPTED THREE TIMES. THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE BUT ABSOLUTELY SHOULD AS IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED JEEP RENEGADES. THIS IS EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE OR THAT IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE AGAIN. MY OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WILL TELL ME WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE, DEALERSHIP SAYS NOT TO FOLLOW THE MANUAL, TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. PURCHASED BRAND NEW AT $27000, NOW WORTH $14000 AND I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT WITHOUT RISKING STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE? HOPEFULLY IT WON'T TAKE FATALITIES TO WIDEN THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE.

MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE STOPPING IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR JUST STOPS AND I GET A WARNING ABOUT SHIFTING TO PARK AND STARTING, WHICH IS DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART, THE STARTER IS VERY SLOW AND WILL EVENTUALLY START AGAIN. ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN REGULARLY MADE. THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY SSUE THAT NEEDS NVESTIGATING.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH, ENGINE JUST STALLED/DIED. I LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKE FELT LIKE A BRICK, I HAD NO CONTROL WHATSOEVER. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. TOOK 3-4 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE ENGINE RESTARTED. BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THIS HAPPENED THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RECENTLY, AS I WAS DRIVING, VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHENEVER I WOULD HIT MY BRAKES AND ASK ME TO SHIFT INTO PARK (P), CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR. ENGINE WOULD TAKE QUITE A FEW SECONDS TO FIRE/RESTART BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. IT WOULD ALSO VIBRATE QUITE BADLY AND BE UNABLE TO GO ANY HIGHER THAN 40MPH OR 1500RPM UNTIL I RESTARTED MY CAR. IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE AT ALL UNTIL I RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE, WHICH HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. A MESSAGE WILL SHOW ON THE DASH THAT SAYS 'SHIFT VEHICLE TO PARK' OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. I WILL GO FROM DRIVING NORMALLY, TO HAVING 0 RPMS WHILE I'M STILL MOVING. I TURN THE CAR OFF. I WAIT A MINUTE. I TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT WON'T START, IT JUST KEEPS CRANKING. EVENTUALLY, AND AFTER MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS AND FEAR OF RUINING THE STARTER, I MANAGE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, BUT BARELY. WHEN IT DOES FINALLY START, I WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND AM THEN ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN THE PAST YEAR. IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT I SCHEDULE MY VEHICLE FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES AS RECOMMENDED, BUT I OFTEN GET AN OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING, SOMETIMES RIGHT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLS. I OFTEN HAVE TO ADD QUARTS OF OIL TO MY VEHICLE, EVEN WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I DRIVE AN AVERAGE OF 12,000 MILES A YEAR AND I DO NOT ABUSE MY VEHICLE. WHEN RESEARCHING MY PROBLEM I CAME ACROSS TWO REMARKABLY SIMILAR ISSUES IN OTHER 2017 JEEP RENEGADES. THESE TWO RECALLS DO NOT SHOW UP WHEN I CHECK MY VEHICLE'S VIN AGAINST ACTIVE RECALLS. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE AND I AM ASKING THAT YOU BROADEN YOUR SCOPE FOR THIS ISSUE IN JEEP RENEGADES, BECAUSE I OR MY FAMILY COULD BE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING.

COOLING FAN FAILURE WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, PROBLEM REPORTED AND DIAGNOSED BY DEALER. THEY INDICATED WOULD BE OK TO DRIVE UNTIL NEXT SCHEDULED SERVICE INTERVAL. CAR OVERHEATED WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND CONCLUDED NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE WHICH IS UNFAIR DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THESE FAILURES REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. ATTACHED INVOICE OF $ 817.63 IN REPAIRS WE HAVE UNFAIRLY HAD TO PAY.

THE ISSUE IS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED BUT IT COMES BACK DOING THE SAME THING. DUE TO THIS ACCIDENT THIS HAS CAUSED US TO HAVE BODY WORK TO BE DONE AS WELL AS OTHER ISSUES. THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.*JB *DT*TP
