ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Jeep Renegade Issues: First NO WARNINGS Signs of Any Kind were shown at time of both issues, 1st under hard acceleration or deceleration and sometimes while in turns under acceleration & deceleration you get a Large Bang from underneath the vehicle and it’s not only the sound but feels like the vehicle gets hit but it’s not. 2nd thing that has happened 3 times 2 times on regular roads and once entering the highway while at the top of the Rte-15 South Ramp after driving the vehicle at about 60mph-65mph the vehicle shuts down like when stopped at a light but your now entering a highway. When I told my dealership they couldn’t find either issue so I asked while I was here in Florida and I was told Chrysler Corporation know of this 2nd Issue but isn’t doing a Recall on this issue and I was told it’s happening to quite a few models not just the Jeep Renegade but others. Now I don’t drive it only locally as I don’t want to get killed by this vehicle. Both issues scare me greatly, First the loud bang and Second the vehicle shutting down for no reason.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Part number 68536883AA has failed and forward collision system is inop. 1st event was November in Arkansas Dealer told my wife to wash the vehicle and it would clear the fault. It reset itself before she washed it. Although, washing has nothing to do with the problem. it failed again and brought it to the dealer in Flagler beach FL. the part was ordered 12/1/2022 on backorder since. By speaking with another dealer there are 155 backordered in the US. I have reached out to Jeep and they have not returned my call. I did receive an email saying they are working on it.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
First, this vehicle is burning 1 quart of oil every 750 miles. Being unaware, when driving, engine shudder and tried to fail, making me unable to accelerate through an intersection. When trying to accelerate, the vehicles RPMs extend above 4 if I don’t accelerate at an extremely slow pace. I can not get up to speed quickly when going on to a freeway. The vehicle collision warning continues to malfunction. Had it fixed again recently. Gas is burning faster than it should be because of the high RPMs and engine working so hard. I have 2 children, and got this vehicle brand new so I’d have reliable transportation. After the first month, I no longer felt safe driving it. Dealership keeps telling me everything is normal. These are not normal issues for a car. It’s a lemon.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I purchased the vehicle at 15 miles and about 2 months after purchase while driving, the front collision warning light came on and there was no reason why the light came on. I took it to the draler and was told it will take some time to find out the problems, needed to leave my car and would not providr a loaner or rental. 6 days go, the seatbelt sign, emergency brake, parking break, airbag, and automatic break light all turn on when I start the vehicle. However yesterday as I was driving, all the lights turned on. The seatbelt sound also turns on even though I am wearing my seatbelt. Im afraid the brakes will stop working or the airbag will detonate. I pulled over to turn off the car and start it with hopes the lights turn off. Sometimes it works and others it does not.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My vehicle, Jeep Renegade only has 5,526 miles on it and I purchased it brand new on June 11th 2022. On Monday, October 10th 2022 at approximately 1325 hours, I was driving the vehicle in the left lane on the Grand Central Parkway, a major highway in NYC, when the vehicle shut down on its own in moderate traffic. Every instrument light (Dummy Light) went on however the car did not turn off. I tried to turn the vehicle off but it wouldn’t! I feared for my life as other cars barely avoided me!! I waited in the left lane for 3-5 minutes then the vehicle was able to slowly move but without power steering and all the instrument lights still on. I eventually got the vehicle off the highway to safety! The vehicle was towed to Town and Country Jeep in Levittown NY where I purchased the vehicle. The Service Department has yet to tell me what’s wrong with the car but when I asked if I was the only Renegade owner that experienced this major problem, they stated NO! This appears to be a major issue i wanted to bring to your attention!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BODY CONTROL MODULE/BCM
The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving in traffic, several warning lights appeared on the instrument panel as the vehicle stalled. The contact's daughter called the police who assisted her daughter with moving the vehicle off the roadway. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. Prior to the failure, a similar failure occurred; however, the vehicle did not stall but failed to shut off. The contact was able to google information on manually overriding the failure in the settings. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. After the most recent failure, the dealer determined that the failure was linked to the body control module sensor; however, the parts for the repair were on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 3,492. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired and then shipped to another dealer. Despite that repair, the vehicle experienced electronic failure. Chrysler offered the contact a buy-back and the vehicle remains unrepaired.
