ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WHEN TURNING ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD, SLIGHTLY UP HILL, FROM A COUNTY HIGHWAY INTO A DRIVEWAY AND EXPERIENCING SLIGHT WHEEL SPIN, THE VEHICLE LOST 4-WHEEL DRIVE AND POWER STEERING. THE ESC SYSTEM BECAME DISABLED AND ERROR CODES "SERVICE HILL START ASSIST", "SERVICE ESC SYSTEM" AND "DYNAMIC STEERING TORQUE SERVICE REQUIRED" WERE DISPLAYED AS A MESSAGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SCREEN AND THE ESC DISABLED LIGHT WAS TURNED ON. THIS CAUSED MOMENTARY LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A RECALL WITHOUT A REMEDY WAS ISSUED FOR PART OF THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM AND IT CAN SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN IN HIGHER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES. I HAD THIS HAPPEN LAST JUNE (2018) AND THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN OCTOBER. THE ORIGINAL NOTICE SAID IT WOULD BE RESOLVED BY Q4 OF 2018. IT IS NOW APRIL OF 2019 AND I LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHICH MEANS HIGHER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES EVERY DAY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN UNDER 5 AND CANNOT RISK THE SAFETY HAZARD OF MY CAR POTENTIALLY SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED 5 MONTHS AGO!

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
MY 2017 RENEGADE JEEP IS STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, OR AS I ACCELERATE TO LEAVE A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A 18 WHEELER TRUCK 2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE THE JEEP STALLED AND I COULD NOT MOVE OUT OF THE TRUCK'S WAY. MY JEEP ALSO ACCELERATES, OR LOSES POWER. IT IS RATTLING SINCE 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND I AM AFRAID I MAY HAVE A FIRE. I HAVE ALERTED RUSSELL WESTBROOK JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT 9/10/2017. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE 3/01/2019. *JS

WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON SHOWING THAT ONE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT WAS OUT, RIGHT BLINKER LIGHT OUT, AND THE THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT. I SHUT THE VEHICHLE.OFF AND RESTARTED IT. ALL WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO WORK. THE REAR LICENSE PLATE LIGHT WARNING CONTINUED TO FLASH ON AND OFF AS I DROVE.(THIS WAS VERY DISTRACTING) BEFORE I ARRIVED TO MY DESTINATION ALL WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF. ALL OF MY LIGHT WERE WORKING UPON MY ARRIVAL. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE VEHICLE THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND ALL WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I HAVE NO.IDEA WHY THESE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON OR IF THE WILL RETURN. NOTE: VEHICLE WAS STARTED USING REMOTE START BEFORE PUTTING IN RUN MODE. WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON UNTIL I PUT THE VEHICLE IN RUN MODE. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED

VEHICLE'S OIL CONSUMPTION IS HIGHER THAN OWNER MANUAL INDICATES. ENGINE IS CONSUMING APPROX. A LITER EVERY 750-1,000 MILES. HAVE BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO LOW OIL LIGHT COMING ON AND WAS TOLD THAT THE 2.4 ENGINE TENDS TO BURN OIL AND THIS WAS NORMAL. THEY ADVISED THAT I JUST CHECK THE OIL LEVELS AND ADD OIL WHEN LOW. THIS FIRST STARTED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE AS OF TODAY 04/05/19.* *DT CONSUMER STATED DEALER INDICATED THAT THIS TYPE OF ENGINE BURNS OIL AND THAT CONSUMER COULD COME MONTHLY TO HAVE THE OIL CHECKED. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK. CONSUMER HAD THE OIL CHANGED FOUR TIMES AT ROUGHLY 22,000 MILES.*JB

MALFUNCTION LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATE WHEN THERE IS NO MALFUNCTION. WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED A WARNING MESSAGE INDICATING THE LEFT AND RIGHT TURN SIGNALS BOTH FRONT AND REAR, BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS, AND HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT OPERATING. AFTER PULLING OVER, WITH THE MESSAGE STILL DISPLAYED, IT WAS SEEN THAT EVERY LIGHT WAS ACTUALLY WORKING PROPERLY. THE SAME HAS HAPPENED REGARDING OTHER WARNING MESSAGES IN THE VEHICLE WHERE THE PROBLEM DID NOT ACTUALLY EXIST. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL WITH OTHER OF THIS SAME MODEL OF VEHICLE, BUT NOT WITH THIS SPECIFIC VIN

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND DESCENDING A SMALL HILL THE VEHICLE "SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT" ILLUMINATES, CHIMES AND THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION LOCKS INTO A RANDOM GEAR (TYPICALLY 3 OR 5TH GEAR) AND REMAINS IN THIS GEAR. IT HAPPENS OVER HALF OF THE TIME AND RESULTS IN A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY OR MAINTAIN ADEQUATE SPEED DEPENDING ON THE GEAR IN WHICH IT IS STUCK. THE VEHICLE HAS TO DODGE TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER IN A SAFE PLACE WHERE THE VEHICLE CAN BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, WHICH IN MOST CASES WILL RESET THE TRANSMISSION AND ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION CLOSER TO NORMAL. FCA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEALER HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO REMEDY THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR 6 MONTHS. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, THE TRANSMISSION, THE EVAP CANISTER AND THE FUEL PUMP. FCA AND THE DEALER ARE STATING THIS IS "NORMAL" FUNCTION AND THAT THE TURN OR THE HILL MUST BE EXTREME OPERATION. THIS IS HAPPENING AT A SLOW SPEED TURN OF 10-15 MPH. I HAVE VIDEO RECORDINGS WHICH HAVE BEEN SHARED WITH FCA AND THE DEALER AND I WOULD GLADLY SHARE WITH NHTSA. AS A FORMER VP AT A TIER ONE AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIER, I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS IS NOT EXTREME OPERATION AND IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WHICH THE MANUFACTURER IS UNWILLING TO RECTIFY. IF THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SOFTWARE RELATED SAFETY DEFECT IT COULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL JEEP RENEGADES OPERATING UNSAFELY ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS. PLEASE ADVISE WHERE I CAN SEND ALL THE VIDEO EVIDENCE.

AUGUST 24TH, 2018, TRIP TO COLORADO, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, WENT TO EXIT AND THE CAR STALLED ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, CODES RESET. MILAGE 15000 MARCH 27, 2019, TURNED ON CAR, THE RADIO DIDN'T WORK AND THE MILEAGE WAS FLASHING, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LET SIT FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, TURNED BACK ON, THE RADIO STILL DIDN'T WORK AND THE MILEAGE WAS FLASHING. RADIO CAME BACK ON EVENTUALLY. DROVE HOME AND THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND NOT SHIFTING LIKE USUAL...SO MAD TO TO DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM TO NOT GIVE IT BACK TO ME UNTIL FIXED. MILEAGE 29800 THIS CAR WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT FEBRUARY 2018. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SUED FOR THE EXACT SAME THINGS IN 2015....IS IT GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER CLASS ACTION SUIT TO GET YOU TO PAY ATTENTION????

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT RECALL NUMBER 18V-731. THE LETTER WE RECEIVED SAID A SOLUTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF Q4 2018. I CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP TODAY AND CONFIRMED THERE IS NO SOLUTION YET. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. CAVITATION FROM A BAD FUEL PUMP REALLY DOESN'T DESCRIBE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE YOUR ENGINE STALL OUT ON YOU AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHILE GOING UPHILL. TWICE. A THIRD TIME IT OCCURRED ON A SIMPLE CITY STREET. WE WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. NO WARNING, NO CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT, NO SPUTTERING OR LESS-RESPONSIVE ENGINE - NOTHING. JUST STALLED OUT. THE ISSUE IS LIKELY TO OCCUR IN HOT SUMMER TIME AND DRIVING UP HILLS. WE LIVE IN HILLY TUCSON, ARIZONA WHERE IT WILL HIT 90DEG TOMORROW. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMING ITS JUST A FAULTY FUEL PUMP IS BOGUS. IF IT WAS THAT SIMPLE, WHY IS THERE NO NEW FUEL PUMP AVAILABLE? WHY ARE THE FUEL PUMPS ON NEW INVENTORY OKAY, BUT THEY CAN'T PRODUCE ONE GOOD ENOUGH TO SATISFY THIS RECALL? AFTER EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES, I THINK THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE SOFTWARE, OR HOW THE SENSOR READS THE FUEL PRESSURE OR ENGINE TEMPS. THE CAR DIDN'T HEAVE OR SPUTTER BEFORE THE ISSUE AROSE - THE ENGINE JUST CUT OUT. I'VE DRIVEN OLD CARS WITH POOR FUEL PUMPS BEFORE AND THEY LET YOU KNOW BEFORE THEY DIE. AND THEY DON'T COME MAGICALLY BACK TO LIFE ONCE YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND IMMEDIATELY BACK ON AGAIN. SOFTWARE DOES THAT - NOT MECHANICAL FAILURES. I REFUSE TO PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK AGAIN THIS SUMMER, AND SUMMER COMES FAST IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA. PLEASE HELP ME LOOK OUT FOR MY LITTLE FAMILY. WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TRADE OUR DEFECTIVE JEEP IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, AND REALLY NEED THIS CAR TO WORK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT I FEEL IS NOT BEING PROPERLY RESPECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU -

POWER TRAIN
AT APPROXIMATELY 31,500 MILES TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A LOUD CLUNK SOUND AND JARS THE VEHICLE. SO LOUD AND HARD IT STARTLES THE PASSENGERS. I BELIEVE IT IS HAPPENING BETWEEN 20-30 MPH AND WHEN I REMOVE ACCELERATOR AND BEGIN TO COAST. IT SEEMS TO BE WHEN I COAST DOWNHILL. NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAY ON THE DASH. SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS. POSSIBLY HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES BEFORE TAKING TO DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME. TOOK VEHICLE TO PURCHASING DEALERSHIP MARCH 2019. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING THE SAME DAY I PICKED UP. HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN 2 DAYS. RESCHEDULED WITH PURCHASING DEALERSHIP 2ND ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER - PURCHASED APRIL 2017. ONE DRIVER. ISSUE IS NEW AND STARTED AT APPROX 31,500 MILES IN MARCH 2019.

AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE OIL LIGHT BRIEFLY FLASHED ON ONCE WHEN TAKING A SHARP TURN (LEFT OR RIGHT). THIS OCCURRED TWICE. THE THIRD TIME WAS WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT STANDARD SPEED (NOT A FAST ACCELERATION) BUT THE ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO DELAY AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH. 1/10TH OF A MILE I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE (SAME DAY) AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AGAIN - ALMOST CAUSING A REAR-END COLLISION. AGAIN, THE CAR RESTART WITHOUT DELAY AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. I PULLED THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF ROAD AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I EXPLAINED DETAILS AND SAID THE ONLY OTHER EXPERIENCE I HAD WAS IT WAS TIME TO CHANGE THE OIL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID CHANGE YOUR OIL AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. ??REALLY?? I WAS CONFUSED OF WHY & HOW BUT I'M NO MECHANIC AND I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO VALVOLINE AND IT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT STALLS WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR DAILY. NOW I AM EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AT 31,500 MILES. I WILL SUPPLY DETAILS IS A SEPARATE REPORT.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN TURNING. AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES OCTOBER 2018, DASH MESSAGE BRIEFLY ILLUMINATED "CHECK ENGINE OIL" ONLY ONE TIME (THEN TURN OFF) WHEN IN A SHARP TURN (LEFT AND RIGHT DIRECTIONS). THIS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE 4TH TIME, THE ENGINE COMPLETE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. I WAS LEAVING MY WORK PARKING LOT AND DECIDED TO DRIVE TOWARD THE DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE TURNED ON WITHOUT HESITATION AND NO WARNING ON DASH. 1/10TH MILE FROM WORK, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN IN A TURN, ALMOST CAUSING A REAR-END COLLISION. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND CALLED THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN AND ASKED IF I CAN DRIVE TO THEM. I EXPLAINED THE ONLY ISSUE WAS THIS AND IT WAS TIME TO CHANGE OI. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT CHANGING THE OIL WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT DID. IT IS NOW MATCH 2019 AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT SHUT OFF SINCE OCTOBER. I AM NOT THRILLED ABOUT THIS "SO CALLED" SAFETY FEATURE. SAVE THE ENGINE BY SHUTTING OFF.... BUT PUT PASSENGERS IN DANGER. NOT HAPPY - ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 3.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT MY JEEP WITH 17MILES ON IT. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I HAVE HAD MANY REACURRING PROBLEMS. 1ST AROUND THE 8000 MILE MARK MY JEEP STARTED SKIPPING GEARS LIKE WHEN YOU SHIFT A OLD TEN SPEED BIKE. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP IT TOOK A WEEK OR SO AND GOT IT BACK THE HAD TO REPROGRAM THE SHIFTING MODULE?? THEN 2ND AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IT WOULD JUST LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF, NOT FUN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT DID THIS. A FEW DAY LATER I WAS CROSSING A INTERSECTION AND IT DID IT AGAIN. AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. THIS WAS AT ABOUT 30000 MILES. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I HAD A OIL PROBLEM. AND THAT IS WHY. THEY REPLACED TOP END OF MY ENGINE?? WELL WHAT ABOUT THE BOTTOM? NOW I'M AT 50000 AND ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAD ARE HAPPENING AGAIN IT IS BUCKING WHEN SHIFTING. RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF. I'M FEED UP. AND MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY ANY MORE. AS OF NOW I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LARGE CAR PAYMENT ON A CAR THAT IS TWO YEARS OLD THAT I DON'T THINK IS GOING TO LAST AS LONG AND MY PAYMENTS. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY DAUGHTER AROUND IN IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WAS DRIVING THIS EVENING, AND GOT ABOUT 2 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, AND THEN CONTINUING THROUGH, HALFWAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, ALL SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON (SERVICE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE, SERVICE ESC, SERVICE ENGINE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION), AND THEN IT SAID TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE I LOST POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO THE CURB. WHEN I GOT TO THE CURB, THE LIGHTS NEXT TO THE SHIFTER (PRND) WERE FLASHING UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND WHEN IT CAME BACK ON, ONLY THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED. I PHONED JEEP, AND THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, BUT NONE WERE OPEN, SO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING, AND HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR ON THE STREET, BECAUSE IF I WENT MORE THAN 10 FEET, THE POWER WOULD GO OUT AGAIN AND WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION. THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION JAMMING INTO GEAR WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, AND THEN ACCELERATING WHEN IT TURNS GREEN, AND RANDOMLY IDLING ROUGH. THE ENGINE CODE IS U0001. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT LOST POWER, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TIME TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT OR KILLED IF I GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR.

I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I HAVE TO TAKE HARD TURNS WITH MY JEEP RENEGADE 2017 4 WHEEL DRIVE SPORT EDITION THAT MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL EITHER STALL OR FLUTTER LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF IT STALLS WHILE I AM MAKING A TURN IN TRAFFIC
