ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
FIRST AT 25000 MILES ENGINE COOLING FAN WENT OUT AND RATTLED SO LOUD AND OVERHEATED HAD TO BE TOWED. TOOK DEALERSHIP A WEEK JUST TO GET THE PARTS. NOW AT 34000 MILES ENGINE DIED AND VEHICLE STOPPED ON HIGHWAY ON RAMP ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. NO ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. I DROVE IT AND WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 10 MPH WHILE MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE THAN ENGINE DIES IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ALMOST ANOTHER ACCIDENT. FINALLY GOT RESTARTED AND QUIT AGAIN NOW EVERY LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON. POPPED THE HOOD AND ABSOLUTELY NO OIL IN ENGINE! WAS JUST AT DEALERSHIP THE WEEK BEFORE AND THEY DID THEIR MULTIPOINT INSPECTION AND MARKED OIL AS FULL? SO IN A WEEK IT LOST 5 QUARTS OF OIL? WAS TOWED AGAIN AND SAT AT DEALERSHIP FOR TWO WEEKS AS THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT ENGINE KNOCKING SOUND! THAN THEY CALL AND SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE!??. DROVE HOME SMELLING BURNT OIL AS ALWAYS SINCE NEW AND CHECKED DIPSTICK, THEY OVERFILLED IT BY AT LEAST A QUART! UNBELIEVABLE. ENGINE RUNS HORRIBLE AND IN 100 MILES HAS ALREADY DROPPED A QUART ON DIPSTICK. BLOWING OIL OUT EXHAUST PIPE. CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER OR FIX!!???. TOTAL MOST RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS THING EVER GONE THROUGH. SOMEBODY WILL GET KILLED WITH A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. UNBELIEVABLE! 2.4L ENGINE

POWER TRAIN
"POWER TRANSMISSION" IN JULY OF 2018 IN RUSH HOUR IN LAS VEGAS (5PM-5:30PM) WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE 2016 JEEP RENEGADE POWERED OFF & SHUT DOWN. HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART FOR THE VEHICLE TO START UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON A VERY BUSY STREET ROAD. IN AUGUST OF 2018 IN RUSH HOUR IN LAS VEGAS (4:30PM-5:30PM) WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE 2016 JEEP RENEGADE POWERED OFF & SHUT DOWN. HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART FOR THE VEHICLE TO START UP AGAIN. THIS OCCURRED ON A SLIGHTLY BUSY STREET ROAD. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. BOTH TIMES I WAS VERY LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CAR WAS EXAMINED AT AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS AT FAULT AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THIS PROCESS TOOK A MONTH. I WAS RELUCTANTLY GIVEN A LOANER CAR WITH A FEW CASE MANAGERS SAYING IT WAS A FAVOR OF CHRYSLER TO BE ALLOWING ME TO HAVE THIS LOANER CAR. NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAR WAS. HOW MY LIFE WAS AT STAKE. IT'S NOW APRIL 2019 AND THE SAME SIGNS I EXPERIENCED WITH THE DYING TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR ARE HAPPENING AGAIN. EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY AIR CONDITIONER MY CAR STARTS TO ACT SHAKY. A STRANGE SMELL GETS EMITTED, AND THE SHIFTING OF THE GEARS SLOWS DOWN. EVERY TIME I PARK MY CAR ON AN INCLINE AND I USE MY EMERGENCY BREAKS @ MY DRIVEWAY MY CARS BREAKS ARE SLOW TO RESPOND.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I TURNED ON MY JEEP RENEGADE WITH THE AUTOMATIC START BUTTON IN LIKE 30 WEATHER. I DROVE IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I ALSO HAD THE AIR BAG, BRAKE WARNING SIGN TURN ON. I STOPPED TO PUT GAS AND JUST THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE WITH CODE P0128- THERMOSTAT FAILURE. HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED IN CANADA SINCE I AM ON A TEMPORARY WORK PERMIT. SO IT COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG FOR SERVICE. CHECKED ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHILE WARMING UP. GRINDING NOISE STARTED. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND CHECKED THE HOOD. COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING SO I CARRIED ON. LATER IN TRAFFIC, GRINDING NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT STARTS. TEMPERATURE SHOOTS INTO RED, AND I START SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FOUND IT WAS THE COOLING FAN. DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE CAME TO FIND OUT THIS A PROBLEM WITH TONS OF OTHER PEOPLE. I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. FAILURE CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND COULD RESULT IN A BLOWN MOTOR AND/OR OTHER DAMAGES RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I'M GLAD I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF BEFORE ANYTHING MAJOR HAPPEND. THESE FANS SHOULD BE LIVING A 100,000 MILE LIFE. BUT IT'S HAPPENING AT 30,000-70,000 MILES. JEEP WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY AS THEY SAY IT ISN'T PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT JEEP RAN OUT OF THEM AND HAD/HAS LONG WAIT TIMES. DURING THIS PERIOD THE VEHICLE IS UNUSABLE. THIS IS REALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR SUCH A NEWER MODEL VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 52,000 MILES AND NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $350 IN REPAIRS ALONG WITH THE $150 PART.

BOUGHT JEEP BRAND NEW AND NOW HAS 17,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE HAD INJECTORS REPLACES. IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP SEVERAL TIME FOR PCV VALVE FREEZING AND CAUSING CYLINDERS TO MISFIRE. IT HAS BEEN BURNING OIL AND OCCASIONALLY WILL JUST SHUT. IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIME AND USUALLY AT LEAST 2 DAYS A POP. ONE OF THOSE TIMES HAD IT TOWED IN AT MY EXPENSE. VERY DISPLEASED WITH ENGINE. DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. SO THIS IS SOMETHING I WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH EVERY WINTER. NOT EVEN SAFE TO DRIVE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. AT ONE POINT SHUT OFF TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHERE I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IN THE DRIVER SEAT ELECTRICAL WIRING. THE DRIVER SEAT POWER SWITCHES CONTROLLING THE SEAT MOVEMENT HAVE BECOME NON-OPERATIONAL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND PRESENT A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE IS THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER SEAT WOULD BE LOCK INTO A POSITION LOCKING THE DRIVER IN THE SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION WOULD PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT A SPEEDY EVACUATION IS NECESSARY.
