ENGINE
The car only has 23k miles and the engine cooling fan has ceased to work. I had to stop on the side of the road for over an hour when I noticed the coolant temperature rising to dangerous levels. Jeep issued a recall for this part on Renegades but my VIN was not included in the recall for some reason even though it was obviously affected.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The cable for the hood latch snapped. This is an issue because if the vehicle breaks down at the side of the road or needs a jump start in a lot etc, the hood will not open. This can cause risk of exposure as well as prolonged stay on the shoulder of the road. Mechanic at Autonation reported that he has seen this issue with multiple Jeep Renegades, which is alarming. No lights or indications are made by the vehicle informing owner of the issue.

ENGINE
We brought the car for the second appointment to complete the mopar W80 recall which was supposed to be done after 1500 miles from the first service. The tech TJ from Autonation Chrysler, Jeep Ram in Katy Texas told me on 07/28/21 that our car was the first car that had come up that was consuming oil and that he thought the engine needed to be replaced. He said the request had been sent to mopar for approval. On 07/29/21 he called and stated that mopar had instructed that since we went 400 miles above the 1500 miles required for the second appointment, that we needed to drive it for another 1500 miles and bring it back. The tech confirmed the engine is consuming oil, we are told we are past 400 miles but asked to go another 1500 miles before the issue is addressed. This places my family and my daughter who drives this car at risk. Hope you can help address the situation.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Engine stalled. Restarted after fifteen minutes then quickly stalled again. Restarted again after thirty minutes (and continued operating as we turned around to return home. We were on the shoulder in heavy traffic on I-70 east of Loveland Pass in Colorado with light trailer in tow, Dealer reports it could not reproduce the problem. Vehicle was inspected by dealer service department. No symptoms or warning lamps came on prior to stalling. Engine temperature gauge was in normal range. Fuel level was between quarter and half tank. So, no warning beforehand.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My vehicle has suddenly shown warning lights for brake light out, head light out, both turn signals out, running lights out. Basically saying all my lights suddenly burnt out. There is a recall on 2017 Jeep renegades for the exact problem I’m having but it doesn’t show my vehicle included, it says no unrepaired recalls. They have determined this can cause an accident as the lights are not really out, and so the driver has no idea when the lights actually do go out. This is dangerous

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Oil pan is so rusted that it leaks.After doing an oil change the oil pan was seen to be leaking.I would think an oil pan should not be so rusted that big flakes of rust would be falling off.The whole pan is coated in rust. I have a 2008 Patriot that has less rust then the 2017. This does not make sense.My Jeep dealer said he has seen this and is more common then you would think.Is it just a case that Jeep is now making cheaper products?
