ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING ON VACATION ALL THE SUDDEN MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE STARTS TO OVERHEAT AND MAKING LOUD NOISES WHICH APPEAR TO BE COMING FROM THE FAN. IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER. CLEARLY THE FAN IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE A COOLING FAN SHOULDN'T FAIL LESS THAN 60000 MILES. JEEP DEALER IS CHARGING A LITTLE OVER $700.00 TO FIX IT WHICH INVOLVES REPLACING THE FAN ASSEMBLY ALONG WITH A SENSOR. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM AND STILL CONTINUING.

COOLING FAN STARTED RATTLING VERY LOUD. IT SEEMS TO BE LOOSE. VEHICLE HAS 40114 MILES. RESEARCH ON INTERNET CONFIRMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND JEEP REDESIGNED THEIR COOLING FAN FOR REPLACEMENTS AND NEWER VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINC IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM!!!

WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO CHARLESTON, SC WHEN WE HEARD A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION WHEN WE STOPPED WE NOTICED THE COOLING FAN WAS WOBBLING. WHEN WE GOT BACK TO OUR HOMETOWN A FEW DAYS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED IT WAS THE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY AND WAS GOING TO COST CLOSE TO $500. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS HAD BEEN A RECENT PROBLEM THEY WERE NOTICING ON A FEW OTHER RENEGADES THEY REPAIRED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I HAVE RESEARCHED FORUMS AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR RENEGADES AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

I HAVE SEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2017 JEEP RENEGADE WHERE THE ENGINE IS STALLING. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2016 AND 2015 AS WELL. I HAVE A 2016 AND MINE HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT TODAY IT ALMOST GOT ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, KILLED. I WAS TURNING ONTO A ROADWAY AND IT STALLED TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER LOCAL RENEGADE OWNERS THAT ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHY AREN'T THE OTHER, PREVIOUS YEARS INCLUDED IN ON THE RECALL SINCE WE ALL HAVE THIS ISSUE? I HAVE MADE MY FAMILY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING, THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO, LEGALLY. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED, BECAUSE THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY SAFE FIX OVER MY VW BEETLE CONVERTIBLE - I FELT SAFE IN THAT OVER THIS VEHICLE. I AM NOW STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE AND WILL MOST LIKELY NEED A REPAIR FOR A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT I WILL GET TO FOOT THE BILL. I HAVE JUST SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WITH A DEALERSHIP, JUST TO BE REIMBURSED WHEN THE RECALL IS ISSUED.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP MADE A NOISE AND STARTED TO OVERHEAT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD BE $600 TO REPLACE. I RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF AFFECTED JEEP OWNERS. THERE IS NO RECALL BUT MY CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE BASIC WARRANTY AS WELL. THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATED ASAP!
