MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL BUT IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE RECALLED 2017 JEEP RENEGADE'S ! I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED? THIS IS EXTREMELY CONFUSING AND FRUSTRATING!! IT IS STALLING AND OIL IS LEAKING SAME RECALL AS 4X4 AND FLEXFUEL RENEGADES... MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT AND GOT STUCK AND IT CAUSED HER HEAT EXHAUSTION WHILE WAITING IN VEHICLE FOR ASSISTANCE! OUR CITY IS IN A HEAT ADVISORY!!

VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING OR MISSING. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG. PURCHASED FROM CARMAX, CALLED AND HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT THRU THEY'RE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HUSBAND RESET TRANSMISSION BUT SAME PROBLEM EXISTS. CALLED LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IT OUT, THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK WHERE I PURCHASED. WHICH I SAID I ALREADY HAD, HE STILL SAID TAKE IT BACK TO THEM, SO THEY CAN TAKE IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT. SOUNDS LIKE RUN AROUND TO ME. CAN YOU HELP ME?

SERVICE BRAKES
AT 14,024 MILES, FRONT BRAKES WERE MAKING A GRINDING METAL TO METAL NOISE WHENEVER APPLIED. MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP SINCE I WAS TOLD OVER THE PHONE BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT BRAKES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR. (EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW.) UPON MECHANICAL INSPECTION, MY FRONT ROTORS (BOTH SIDES) WERE DEEPLY GROOVED BUT MY BRAKE PAD WAS STILL AT 90%THICKNESS, ALTHOUGH THERE SEEMED TO BE SMALL CHIP AT CORNER OF BRAKE PAD. I AGREED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED. THEN AGAIN, AT 27,475 MILES, THE LEFT SIDE ROTOR HAD SAME REPEATED WEAR PATTERN. AGAIN, THE LEFT SIDE ROTOR WAS MEASURED FOR MINIMAL THICKNESS AND RESURFACED AT AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP. PADS, AGAIN, HAD GOOD OPERATING THICKNESS AND REINSTALLED.I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE THIS WEEK AND I AM BEGINNING TO HEAR THE GRINDING NOISE AGAIN! WHEN IS THE JEEP MANUFACTURER GOING TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FORMULATING A FRONT BRAKE PAD MATERIAL THAT GRINDS INTO THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS?? ALSO REFUND REPAIRS TO CONSUMERS THAT HAVE INVESTED IN THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE (AT THEIR COST), NEW FRONT PADS AND NEW BRAKE ROTORS...JEEP, DODGE AND CHRYSLER-YOUR MANUFACTURING QUALITY IS DIMINISHING!!

WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND START DRIVING, IF I SLOW DOWN AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE IT GIVES A WARNING STATING LOW OIL PRESSURE AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR. THE VEHICLE BURNED THROUGH 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IT ALSO SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN RUNNING LOW ON OIL. *TR

WHEN I STARTED MY JEEP THIS MORNING IT STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SHAKING STOP SO I CHANCED IT TO WORK. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AND WOULD RATTLE A LITTLE. ANYTIME I MADE A TURN IT FELT LIKE THE JEEPS TIRES WERE SLIDING. IT'S TAKING A LOT LONGER TO PICK UP SPEED AND SEEMS TO BE FORCING ITSELF INTO GEAR. IN THE LAST FEW DAYS THOUGH MY LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLICKERING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN THE RADIO WENT OUT FOR A FEW HOURS. THE OUTLETS (OLD CIGARETTE LIGHTER OUTLETS ) STOP WORKING TOO. DON'T KNOW IF IT'S RELATED TO THE REST BUT IT DID ODDLY START IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. *TR

CAR IS PARKED. IT STARTED WITH RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK NOT LOCKING WITH THE KEY FOB. WE HAD TO MANUALLY LOCK IT FROM THE INSIDE. KEY FOB SEEMS TO WORK WITH ALL OTHER LOCKS BUT NOW NONE OF THE DOORS ARE LOCKING. YOU CAN HEAR THE LOCKS ENGAGING WHEN PRESSING THE KEY FOB TO LOCK BUT THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK AT ALL. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE JEEP RENEGADE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THE CAR HAS STARTED TO JERK INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CHANGED GAS TYPES AND GOTTEN NEW AIR FILTERS, ETC. WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT SEEMS THAT FROM READING THE REVIEWS ON THIS SITE, THERE IS SOME COMMON EXPERIENCES FROM OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS. AT THIS POINT IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A DANGER TO THE DRIVER BUT CURIOUS TO KNOW IF IT WILL LEAD TO A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM LONG TERM. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER (HAVE AN CHRYSLER?JEEP FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED THAT BECAUSE THE OXYGEN SENSOR HARNESS WAS CHEWED BY A RODENT (PROBABLY A CHIPMUNK) THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER REPAIR. I HAVE SINCE OUT THAT THE SHEATHING FOR WIRES USED BY THE MANUFACTURE IS MADE FROM SOYBEAN OIL OR PEANUT BASED OIL. I ASK IS THIS, MY FAULT OR THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT? I DID NOT NOR WOULD I PUT RODENT FOOD IN A VEHICLE. IF RODENTS CHEW BRAKE LIGHTS , THIS COULD CAUSE A FATAL CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY. I HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE AND THE CHEWED OXYGEN SENSOR W/HARNESS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CAR JERKS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE SERVICE CENTER 4 TIMES FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO/ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD ENDLESS HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH JEEP/SERVICE CENTER TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. EACH TIME IT'S TAKEN INTO THE SHOP, THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE SAME ISSUE TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS TO US ON A DAILY BASIS. I BASICALLY HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE IN JEEPS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AS WE'VE RECEIVED NO RESOLUTION YEARS LATER. I'VE ALSO BEEN INFORMED IT'S THE OPERATING SYSTEM WITHIN THE JEEP BEING A 9 SPEED, BUT IT DIDN'T DO THIS FROM THE START, IT OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS/JERKS... WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE HESITATES AND SHIFTS WHILE TAKING OFF FROM 26 MPH. STALLS EXTREMELY HARD TO SHIFT GEARS. IT SCARES ME THAT IT'S GOING TO TURN OFF OR I MIGHT HIT SOMEONE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I CAN'T CONTROL VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS. THIS HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE NOT EVEN FOR A YEAR. *TR

ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ENGINE BURNS OIL TO THE POINT TO WHERE IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE WITHOUT CONSTANTLY ADDING OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS. THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS GASPING FOR AIR AFTER COMING TO A HALT AND THEN STARTING AGAIN(STOP SIGN, MAKING A LEFT TURN AFTER YIELDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ETC.). ADDITIONALLY, THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING ON BOTH SIDES IS COMPLETED BURNED AND MELTED. THIS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A WIRING ISSUE CAUSING TOO MUCH POWER TO GO TO THE BULBS OR THE RECOMMENDED BULBS MAY BE TOO HOT. THE ENGINE ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING THROUGH ALL 39,000 MILES ON IT. THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING CONCERN WAS JUST DISCOVERED ON 4/15/2020 HOWEVER I'M SURE THE ISSUE WAS PREVALENT BEFORE HAND. MANY FRIENDS OF MINE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED BOTH AFOREMENTIONED CONCERNS. *TR
