FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, MY ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND AFTER SOME TIME THE VEHICLE RELUCTANTLY RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 4 DAYS. BOTH TIMES I WAS DESCENDING AND DECELERATING ON A STREET GOING LESS THAN 10 MPH. THE STALL OCCURRED AFTER APPLYING BRAKE AND DID NOT RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL INPUT. RPMS READ ZERO, ALL ELECTRICAL AND POWER STEERING STILL WORKING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE CAR DECIDES WHEN IT WANTS TO START AND START. THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING AND HAS PUT ME IN MULTIPLE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT WHEN IT WILL NOT START. WHEN IT FINALLY DECIDES TO START THERE IS NO CEL ON. ALSO, THE BOTTOM FOG LIGHT WENT OUT DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN AND GASKETING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MANUAL TRANS 1.4L. FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST YEAR, I'VE GOTTEN AN INTERMITTENT 'SERVICE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE' MESSAGE. I NEVER HAD IT LOOKED AT, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THEN IT WOULD GO AWAY. ALSO THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED TURNING OFF FROM ACCESSORY POWER MODE. I COULDN'T JUST ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS, I HAD TO CRANK THE CAR OR THE POWER WOULDN'T TURN BACK OFF. RECENTLY HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0807 'CLUTCH POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT 1 LOW' SHOWING. THE NEXT DAY, CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO START. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES PUSHING THE START BUTTON AND MESSING WITH CLUTCH BEFORE IT WOULD TURN OVER. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP (NOT DEALER) AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OR REPLICATE THE CODES AND TOLD ME IT WAS A GLITCH. NEXT DAY I GET THE EPB LIGHT AGAIN AND USED MY CODE READER AND IT WAS SHOWING P0807 AND ABS CODE C1220-86. SO I LOCATED SAID SWITCH AND UNPLUGGED IT, AND BOOM. ALL THE PROBLEM CODES POPPED UP AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF LIKE NORMAL. I REMOVED THE SENSOR AND OPENED THE COVER ON IT. THE CARBON FILM INSIDE WAS MISSING A SECTION. TESTED WITH A METER AND THE SENSOR LOST VOLTAGE WHEN SWEEP ARM INSIDE REACHED THE BROKEN SPOT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED SOMEWHERE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE TOOLS TO REACH AND JUMP OUT THIS SENSOR. AND OF COURSE CLUTCH PARTS ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT SEEING AS IT'S ON THE INSIDE OF A SENSOR THAT I COULDN'T REACH WITHOUT REMOVING THE PANEL UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WENT TO CHANGE THE FOG LIGHT BULBS BUT BOTH FOG LIGHTS HAVE MELTED THE HOUSING AND TURNED THE LENS BROWN. THE BULBS ARE MELTED TO THE HOUSING PREVENTING THE BULB FROM BEING ABLE TO BE REPLACED. IT NEEDS THE WHOLE FOG LIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED.

NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V131000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I START THE CAR, THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I CHECKED THE LIGHT IT WAS OUT. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 30000 MILES. AT ABOUT 31000 THE BACKUP LIGHT WARNING LIGHT OUT CAME ON. I WAS UNABLE TO CHECK THE ACCURACY OF THIS. A FEW MONTHS LATER (MOST OF THE TIME THE CAR IS GARAGES AND ONLY GOES ON ROAD TRIPS) THE WARNING LIGHTS STOPPED COMING ON. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A RECALL, ALL LIGHTS WERE WORKING AND THE WARNING LIGHTS OFF BUT THE DEALERS COMPUTER SHOWED THE DTRL OUT. THE DAY AFTER I TOOK IT HOME, THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE DTRL CAME ON AGAIN AND THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT WAS OUT AGAIN.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
WHEN AM DRIVING AT 40 MPH MY CAR PULLS WHEN I LET GO OF THE GAS OR WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. IT ALSO PULLS AT HIGHER OR LOWER SPEEDS. IT'S NOT ALWAYS AT 40 MPH. ALSO WHEN AM IN DRIVING MY FORWARD COLLISION WARNING TURNS OFF JUST FOR NO REASON AND ON THE DASH IT SAYS IT'S TURNED OFF. STAYS TURNED OFF FOR AT LEAST 1 MIN OR 2. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND WHERE THE PROBLEM PRESISTES FROM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WHEN DRIVING, GOING LESS THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR. SYSTEM DOES NOT SHUT DOWN. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A BATTERY OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN A MONTH. PULLED OVER INTO PARK & HAD TO RESTART THE CAR. LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. MECHANIC REFERRED ME TO DEALERSHIP AS THEY COULD ONLY DETERMINE A LOW OIL CONSUMPTION/ PRESSURE. TERRIBLE KNOCKING SOUND IN FRONT AS WELL. VERY CONCERNED AS OTHER JEEPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT MY 2017 RENEGADE LATITUDE IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.
