SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
IN MY DRIVEWAY. I LOVE BEHIND MY MOM AND WHEN I STOP TO TALK WITH WHILE SHE IS IN THE YARD AND LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON AND STOPS ME. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHTS OR JUST STUCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION EITHER JERKS REAL HARD OR MAKES THE CAR FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. COOLING FAN HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WHEN THE VEHICLE WASN'T 2 YRS OLD.

MY CAR STARTED RUNNING HOT WHILE ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO AUTO MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAS LOCKED UP. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 60,000 MILES, 3 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS PROBLEM IF I WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. PLEASE RECALL VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT SEEMS VERY COMMON.

AT 63K RIGHT FRONT BRAKE PAD, SHOE & ROTOR COMPLETELY WORN, ROTOR DAMAGED, ALL BEYOND USE, AND REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. LEFT FRONT BRAKE PAD, AND SHOE ARE NOT WORN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE FROM THE OTHER WHEEL, NEED REPLACED.

THE EMERGENCY KEY BLADE FALLS OUT OF THE KEY FOB. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAULT FOR OVER USE BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED WITH MY SECOND KEY FOB THAT I PULLED THE BLADE FROM ONLY ONCE FELL OUT AND WAS LOST AFTER ONE MONTH OF USE. VERY POOP DESIGN. THE FIRST TIME I FOUND THE BLADE IN MY POCKET, THE NEXT TIME IT FELL OUT I WASN'T SO LUCKY. NOW I HAVE TWO FOBS WITH NO KEYS

THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN MALFUNCTIONED AFTER JUST 50,000 MILES. VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. JEEP WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY AS THEY SAY IT ISN'T PART OF THE DRIVETRAIN. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON YOUR DATABASE 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. IT'S TIME THAT THE NHTSA ACTS FOR THE CONSUMER AND FORCES JEEP TO A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE FAN. NORMAL LIFE EXPECTANCY OF ELECTRIC FANS IS WELL OVER 5 YEARS/100,000 MILES. THIS PARTICULAR FAN IS, IN MOST CASES, NOT EVEN LASTING HALF THAT TIME. 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.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AMONG OTHER ISSUES, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES TO ME, AND ALL APPEAR TO OCCUR WHILE MAKING TURNS AT LOW-MODERATE SPEED (<30MPH); THIS IS THE ONLY CONSISTENT FACTOR WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OUT (DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY WEATHER OR DRIVE/RUN TIME). THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED AROUND 30K MILES - THE ENGINE LOST POWER WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON LOCAL STREETS. VEHICLE'S DISPLAY FLASHED A NUMBER OF WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE INDICATING "VEHICLE NOT IN SHIFT TO PARK." ELECTRICAL SYSTEM APPEARED FULLY FUNCTIONAL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED MY CAR AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING REMAINED. THE NEXT RESTART REMOVED THE ETC WARNING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS REMOVED AFTER 4 RESTARTS (WITH REGULAR DRIVING). I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY UPDATED A MODULE AND I HAD TO PAY TO CLEAN THE ETC SENSOR (IT WAS ALLEGEDLY "STICKY" AND TRIGGERING A FALSE WARNING). RECENTLY, WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, THE ENGINE HAS CUT OUT ON ME 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TWO INSTANCES WERE BACK-TO-BACK (ONE ON EXITING A ROUNDABOUT), FOLLOWED BY A RIGHT-HAND TURN @ APPROX. 37200 MILES. IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS IN THE FAR-RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO DRIFT TO SAFETY. THE ENGINE STUTTERED UPON TRYING TO PUSH-TO-START BUT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS. THE NEXT MORNING, "OIL LOW" FLICKERED AND "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" LIT UNTIL ENGINE RESTART. OIL WAS/IS NOT LOW. AT 37400 MILES, THE ENGINE DIED WHILE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN ON A 5-LANE STREET AT NIGHT. AT 37450 MILES, THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MORNING WHILE MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN ON A MAIN ROAD. ALL OF THESE INSTANCES OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING (OTHER THAN "VEHICLE NOT IN SHIFT TO PARK" AFTER ENGINE CUT OUT) AND WITHOUT LOSS OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

THE RADIATOR FAN IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. IT IS BREAKING DUE TO NOT HAVING A HEAT SHIELD ON IT AND IT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT. JEEP FIXES THE PROBLEMS IN THE LATE 2016 MODELS BY PUTTING IN A METAL FAN AND TOOK OUT THE PLASTIC FAN. FEAR OF RENEGADE CATCHING FIRE. VEHICLE OVERHEATS IN THE PARKING LOT.

VEHICLE REFRIGERANT FOR THE AC COOLING SYSTEM IS CONSTANTLY LEAKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE IN JUNE 2017 AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO LEAK. SERVICE CENTER REFILLED THE REFRIGERANT AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO COLD AIR RUNNING THROUGH THE SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THE REFRIGERANT LEAKED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE TWICE DUE TO NEGLIGENCE. WHENEVER THE AC COMPONENT TRIES TO RUN, WHETHER IT IS PARKED OR MOVING, A LOUD HISSING NOISE IS HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN IS VIBRATING ITSELF OFF. THE VEHICLE HAD LOW MILEAGE STILL- UNDER 45,000. LOOKED IT UP AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND APPARENTLY THE PART IS BACK ORDERED FOR MONTHS, WHICH MEANS I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE. SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER ISSUE TO ME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.
