VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2017 JEEP RENEGADE IN THAT WHEN THE WASHER FLUID IS USED, THE FLUID DRAINS NEXT TO THE AIR INTAKE AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF VAPOR IS DRAWN INTO THE MAIN CABIN. THIS WAS VERIFIED BY A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALER. WASHER SOLVENT FLUID CAN BE POISONOUS AND HARMFUL IF BREATHED IN. THE AMOUNT OF VAPOR DRAWN INTO THE CABIN CAN BE REDUCED BY USING THE RECIRCULATE FUNCTION, BUT SOME STILL LEAKS IN AND WHEN DRIVING IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS, OTHER VEHICLES THROW SALT AND OTHER DEBRIS ON YOUR WINDSHIELD CAUSING YOU TO IMMEDIATELY USE THE FLUID TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BREATH HARMFUL VAPORS IN. IN COLD WEATHER, IF YOU SET THE RECIRCULATE FUNCTION ON SO YOU WON'T BREATH THE VAPORS, THEN THE DEFROSTERS WON'T WORK AND YOUR WINDSHIELD CAN FOG OR ICE UP. THIS IS A HEALTH AND/OR DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED OR SOMEONE WILL GET SICK AND/OR HURT.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE USES/LOSES APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 300 - 500 MILES OF DAILY DRIVING. MY DAILY DRIVING IS BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY. THE JEEP HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES (4 IN 6 MONTHS) TO INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THIS LOSS OF OIL. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL THE OIL CHANGES CAN LAST AS LONG AS 10,000 MILES. THIS JEEP RENEGADE AVERAGES AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 2,000 TO 2,500 MILES DUE TO THIS OIL ISSUE. THERE ARE "NO" EXTERNAL OIL LEAKS VISIBLE NOR ON THE DRIVEWAY THEREFORE THE OIL MUST BE LEAKING INTERNALLY INTO "SOMETHING". THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT SERVICING THE VEHICLE BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE LAST INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE DEALERSHIP WAS THIS JEEP'S ENGINE IS EXPECTED TO LOSE 1 QUART OF OIL PER 2000 MILES AND RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL EVERY 2,500 MILES. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS AN ENGINE PROBLEMS THAT IS UNRESOLVED AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. NEVER KNOWING WHEN THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WILL OCCUR. I ORIGINALLY TOOK THIS JEEP TO THE QUINN JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN GLOUCESTER VA BUT WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT BECAUSE THIS JEEP WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM QUINN THAT QUINN WOULD NOT PERFORM (ANY) SERVICE ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE WAS AN ACTUAL "NOTE" ADDED IN THE DATABASE TO NOT SERVICE THIS VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT SPECIFIED TO SAFELY ENGAGE MY 4WD LOCK AND SNOW TERRAIN WOULD NOT WORK. ALSO BOTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE OIL PRESSURE FAIL WARNING LIGHT HAVE TURNED ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE BOTH STATIONARY AND DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE STREET. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND HAS CONTINUED TO RELIGHT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT A RECALL HAS BEGAN CALLED T50- INCORRECT SOFTWARE COMBINATION/FMVSS101-2017 JEEP RENEGADE WITH AN ISSUES OF FAULTY CIRCUIT PANELS HAVING MULTIPLE INDICATOR LIGHTS LIGHTING UP DEEMING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE DRIVER WOULD NOT ACTUALLY KNOW WHEN THEY ARE TRUELY AT RISK AND COULD BE INVOKED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY JEEP AS OF YET IS NOT SHOWING UP IN THE RECALL PER MY VIN# YET I AM SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUES AS THE RECALL. MY MANUAL STATES TO NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE WHILE THESE INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ON BUT MY DEALER HAS ADVISED ME TO DRIVE IT ANYWAY. THE FEDERAL VEHICLE MOTOR SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 101, 'CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS. ' STATES VEHICLES WITH SAID ISSUES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THEIR REQUIREMENTS.

POWER TRAIN
NEW JEEP RENEGADE WITH 1,600 MILES LOST POWER, JERKED AND STALLED GOING UP A MOUNTAIN FROM ALAMOGORDO, NM TO CLOUDCROFT, NM. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES. UNABLE TO MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION. NO ERROR CODES APPEARED. WE WERE ABLE TO TURN AROUND AND DRIVE TO JACK KEY DEALERSHIP IN ALAMOGORDO, NM, WHERE THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT SO THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. AFTER MORE THAN AN HOUR, WE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE BACK UP THE MOUNTAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED , BUT WE DIDN'T GET AS FAR THE SECOND TIME. WE WERE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND DECIDED TO DRIVE HOME BACK TO EL PASO. TOOK IT TO SUNLAND PARK JEEP THE NEXT DAY. THEY CALLED YESTERDAY AND SAID THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, NO ERROR CODES APPEAR. THEY WERE TOLD BY CORPORATE JEEP TO ADD TWO UPDATES TO THE SOFTWARE. THEY DROVE IT ON TRANSMOUNTAIN RD. WHICH IT HAS ALWAYS DRIVEN VERY WELL ON BEFORE, SINCE IT IS NOT AS STEEP AS THE MOUNTAIN WE HAD TROUBLE ON. WE WILL BE PICKING UP THE JEEP TODAY BUT ARE VERY WORRIED SINCE WE FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS TO STALL IN TRAFFIC. WE BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW WITH 12 MILES ON IT FOR OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY AND WE ARE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE HAVING HER DRIVE IT. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, I TRIED TO START CAR AND IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TRIES TO GET IT TO CRANK OVER. ONCE IT STARTED, THE CAR WAS MAKING AN INTENSE KNOCKING NOISE AND SPUTTERING SO VIOLENTLY IT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE WHOLE CAR TO ROCK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT SETTLED DOWN AND I PULLED ONTO THE STREET AND THE CAR JUST DIED... NO LIGHT INDICATORS AT ALL AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LOOKED AS IF THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. AGAIN IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TRIES, BUT THE CAR FINALLY STARTED AND BEGAN KNOCKING AND SPUTTERING ABOUT, THEN SETTLED DOWN. I ENTERED THE FREEWAY ONRAMP AND NOTICED WHEN I LET MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WOULD ESSENTIALLY DIE WHILE GOING 60 MILES AN HOUR. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND BY THE TIME I STOPPED ON THE OFFRAMP, THE CAR HAD DIED AGAIN. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I DROVE TO A PARKING LOT AND PRESSED THE ONBOARD BUTTON FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THEY CAME AND TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 67 DEGREES AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT RAIN SPRINKLE. BEFORE I GOT GAS, THE CAR WAS FINE. I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK AND THE GAS LIGHT HAD JUST COME ON. I HAD NEVER USED VALERO GAS BEFORE AND FOR SOME REASON IT TOOK 13.5 GALLONS TO FILL THE TANK THAT ALREADY HAD A 1/4 OF A TANK IN IT. IN THE PAST THE MOST I HAVE FUELED UP WHILE ON LESS THAN 1/8 OF A TANK WAS 11.8. I'M NOT SURE THE FUEL SITUATION MATTERS, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD MENTION IT JUST IN CASE. THIS ISSUE WAS REALLY SCARY AND UNNERVING. THE CAR HAS 4500 MILES ON IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
UPON STARTING VEHICLE WITHIN GARAGE WITH ONLY 3,800 MILES, DASHBOARD WARNING MESSAGES INDICATED DAYTIME RUNNING, TAIL, AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING (SIMILAR TO EARLIER 2015 AND 2016 ISSUES SEARCHED ON WEB). LIGHTS ARE PHYSICALLY OPERATING WITH FALSE WARNING MESSAGES - NO BULBS OUT. AT SAME STARTUP, DRIVERS SIDE POWER SEAT NOT FUNCTIONING AT SAME TIME WARNING INDICATORS SEEN FOR LIGHTS. SEAT INOPERABLE AND CANNOT BE REPOSITIONED MANUALLY. UPON FUSE AND RELAY CHANGE OUT FOR SEAT, WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT REAPPEAR AFTER RESTART OF VEHICLE, HOWEVER SEAT STILL NON RESPONSIVE AND STUCK IN CURRENT FULL BACK POSITION MAKING IT A HAZARD FOR A DRIVER LESS THAN 6 FOOT TALL TO OPERATE SAFELY. NEXT DAY, DEALER WAS CALLED AND IS UNAVAILABLE TO SEE VEHICLE FOR OVER ONE WEEK. TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, VEHICLE WAS STARTED BY REMOTE STARTER AND POWER SEAT NOW FUNCTIONING. PROBABLY A COINCIDENCE ONLY THAT SEAT NOW WORKS HOWEVER VEHICLE TO BE TAKEN TO DEALER FOR ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING.

THE FIRST INITIAL OCCURRENCE HAPPENED JUN 12TH 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE JEEP RENEGADE BEGAN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. IT THEN BEGAN TO JERK UNCONTROLLABLE AND THE VEHICLE ITSELF WOULD TURN OFF ON ITS OWN. SEVERAL ICONS CAME ON THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD ONE BEING A LIGHT BOLT SYMBOL AND THE OTHER INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN COMPLETELY RESOLVED. ON JULY 22, 2017 THE JEEP RENEGADE FOR THE SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND TURNED OFF AND LOST ITS COMPLETE POWER. I HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ENGAGE NO MATTER THE ATTEMPTS I WOULD TRY TO TURN ON THE RENEGADE. I WAITED FOR AWHILE UNTIL THE TOWING COMPANY CAME TO LOAD UP THE VEHICLE, DURING THIS TIME THE TOWING MAN COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN ON AND ENGAGE NO MATTER HOW MANY ATTEMPTS HE MADE. ON BOTH INCIDENTS MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND ON BOTH INCIDENTS THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN TRAVELING AT SPEED LIMITS ABOVE 50MPH. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTINUOUS CONTACT WITH THE MANUFACTURE JEEP, THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP PERKINS MOTOR IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO. I AM CURRENTLY AN ACTIVE DUTY IN THE ARMY AND HAVE BEEN HAVING CONTINUOUS TROUBLE WITH THE JEEP. I DROPPED OFF THE JEEP RENEGADE AT THE LOCAL CHRYSLER APPROVED DEALERSHIP ON JULY 22, 2017 AND STILL TO THIS DATE AUGUST 19, 2017, THE DEALERSHIP STILL CANNOT FIND THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE. I FEAR THAT IF I WERE TO RECEIVE THE VEHICLE BACK UPON THE REPAIRS FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME VEHICLE PROBLEM FROM JUN 12, 2017 THAT THE VEHICLE CAN CAUSE HARM TO EITHER SOME OTHER ROAD PEDESTRIAN, TO MY FAMILY, OR TO MYSELF THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE. TO THIS DAY THE DEALERSHIP STILL CANNOT FIND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON AT LEAST SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE MAKING A SLOW SPEED LEFT TURN (UNDER 15 MPH) AND ONCE WHILE MAKING A LEFT U-TURN (AT APPROX. 5 MPH), MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF POWER AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT FLASHES. THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CONDITION LASTS APPROXIMATELY 3 - 5 SECONDS. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME AS MY VEHICLE SLOWED. THE DEALER HAS EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A CONDITION THAT EXCEEDS A PARAMETER SET BY THE SOFTWARE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CODES "SET" BY THESE OCCURRENCES. THEY ARE A BIT UNNERVING AND A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS CONCERN BEGAN WHEN THE JEEP HAD APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I NOW HAVE 6700 AND THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS AUGUST 4, 2017.
