general problems of the 2015 Jeep Renegade

I was driving on the highway around 3pm when I attempted to turn on the air and the temperature never adjusted. My coolant indicator turned fully red. My car started smoking and I pulled over and popped the hood to see my antifreeze boiling out of the reservoir. I kept the hood up and waited for it to cool down. The next morning, I drove to my sitter's where I completed my trip and the car started smoking again. Now it's at the shop.

Car will not start. Been having problems for the last 2 years since I bought it. Unreliable. Electricity goes on and off randomly, sun roof wont open, lock button stick, power seat not working.

I have been taking my car to the dealership with the same complaint for over 2 yrs. They charge me for things that they say its not under warranty. I pay but car continues the same as I brought it in. I had to call "corporate" so they can get involved and help me, they did and in a way I was punished by keeping the car for a month and when I asked to get it back they kept telling me they are waiting on parts. At one point my granddaughter got sick (lives with me) and I called them I need my car soon my kid is sick and I was told "get an ubber". Finally after a month I get my car and now is worse than ever. My daughter was driving and car smelled like smoke, all the lights on dashboard started going crazy, the air conditioner went dead and vehicle stopped. I have spent so much money complaining about the same thing and now im without a car again. I need help please. I lost my job and now I had to sell my home due to this pandemic. Im suppose to leave and move to another state this coming weekend and I have no car to leave. How can anyone help me, please.

Vehicle loses all electrical power and stalls intermittently while driving. This happened several times over the last four years of ownership. Not related to extreme temperatures, bumps/vibrations or rain/moisture. Battery was tested and even replaced. It was serviced by dealer the previous episode and was told the software needed updating. Yet here we are again. I have seen other Jeep Renegades with similar issues have a recall for wiring harness. According to mopar this year isn't covered.

I am contacting you due to due to baxter service rep paul at baxter Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealer refusal to repair recalls for my Jeep Renegade. The recalls that generate from my insurance company allstate are indeed recalls my vehicle needs based on performance issues. He informed me that they're not recalls, and when I said allstate made them up, he said �yeah�! the information for the 4 recalls are from data. Gov. The service department at baxter says they are only going to repair the recall (for engine cooling fan) that Chrysler website shows! please advise &/or assist to resolve this issue! I have reported to the assistant service mgr justin sunquist and bbb as well. Thanks.

Car stalls while driving. All lights flash on dashboard flash. Shifter froze.

My etc light came on today as I was backing out of my driveway as well as my check engine light. I turned the car off and when I turned it back on, both lights returned. About a month ago, I finally received my recalls for my fan to be replaced the day after I fixed it. Is this another recall that I wasn't made aware of?.

It was working fine then out of no where the transmission light came on and all the emergency lights started flickering. The shift gear won't move and it won't accelerate when its in drive. Car shakes when shifting gears.

11/23/2015 vehicle engine malfunctioned, overheated and stopped working while driving on the highway. Vehicle had to be towed to dealership. Dealership replaced engine and related parts and I picked up on 12/17/15. Mileage 2,411 1/1/2016 engine started making a whining sound and the ac stopped blowing cold air. Mileage 2,958 9/27/2016 rattling sunroof and transmission was lunging when coming to a stop. 9/14/2017 vehicle overheated while driving turns out was the cooling system expansion tank. 1/22/2019 keyless entry light came on while driving in the city . Mileage 25,601 6/4/2019 vehicle overheated and stalled while driving in the city and had to be towed to dealership. Turns out ac compressor failed causing additional broken parts. Mileage 26,777.

I was driving my vehicle when I was getting notifications on my dashboard of different things from torque to transmission. The vehicle then suddenly stalled while I was in the middle of the road. I was at a red light thankfully. I turned my vehicle off/on, then as put the vehicle in drive, I could hear a loud bang and then I drove into a parking lot.

Takata recall there are multiple electrical problems occurring with the vehicle, along with mechanical problems and the car is used to commute to work and home. These issues have never occurred with any other new car we have purchased from a lot. I feel unsafe driving the car with my family unsure of what other problem may occur.

When transitioning from a stop into traffic on a dirt or slippery road the traction control warning lights come on but the car sends no power to the any of the 4 wheels. It just stops. In order to go you have to take your foot off the gas and try again to move. Extremely dangerous when pulling into traffic.

When turning or veering at semi-low rates of speed (15-35 mph), traction control light flashes repeatedly and all power to accelerator is lost for about 5-10 seconds. This has repeatedly put me in extremely dangerous situations. Despite taking it to the dealership and finding many others have this same issue, dealer claims nothing is wrong and said problem was fixed after a refresh update for both computer systems. It is definitely not fixed as it happened today and I was almost t-boned in an intersection. Only has 23,120 miles on it and still under Jeep warranty. This began a month after purchase.

Sometimes when turning the traction control light turns on and the car will not accelerate even when the accelerator is depressed - lasts momentarily then corrects itself.

Seeing loss of power loud muffler and undercarriage. Random indicators such as change oil, power locks and doors, 4x4 not working. Heat at 75 degrees blows cold air.

The accident avoidance system will show up on the dash screen as temporarily disabled while driving down the street.

2nd occurrence of all the sensor lights coming on and engine simply stopping. Both times, the vehicle had been braked and was ready to accelerate when all the lights on the dash and gear shift began to flash. The first occurrence all the lights flashed and halted before it could completely cross the highway. The dealership applied all updates to the computer keeping the car overnight. The second occurrence vehicle was just towed to the dealer as unfit to drive. After resting, only the check engine light came on. Will know more after auto is checked.

Vehicle stalls and breaks lock while driving. 4wd lock turns on without engagement and car has to be restarted.

For the fourth time I took my car to the service at the dealer , and for the fourth time the same problem occurred received a 'service power steering' dashboard message. . . . And the vehicle has no power steering. I have 20,000 miles on my vehicle. After I leave the car for two month in the dealer finally they call me and said my car was reedy as today March 2018 but continues with the same problem . I am of course concerned that my power steering could fail while I am driving the vehicle could cause serious accident. This happen one time already, I'm very frustrate I don't know what to do this point. If some could help me or indicate what to do thanks. Same problem here- except total loss of steering while on highway. Numerous electrical issues, 7 total since 2016, 16 days and counting in service bay and not driveable. This car is a nightmare. Dealer service they don't know how to service.

15 Renegade limited ** a few issues ***first I have had to replace front brakes and rotors 4/27/16 with 9030 miles then had to replace again 9/28/16 with 16611 miles . . . . . Second *** when driving my on highway normal speeds my vehicle will randomly act like it is neutral will not accelerate for few seconds then will work fine ( has happened 2 times to me months apart) third*** when making turns on dry roads my stabilitrak light comes on traction control blinks no acceleration happens at random a few times one time I was almost rear ended last incident happened 10/3 520pm . . . I now again hear noise when braking after driving a few miles it gets more noticeable the longer I drive . . I am feeling unsafe driving this vehicle never knowing when these issue will happen next not to mention not being able to afford replacing brakes and rotors a few thousand miles.

The vehicles traction control light comes on during normal driving causing loss of throttle an power making you exit to shoulder or sometimes after 10 sec or so the power will return. Car does not die it just takes throttle control away while traction light flashes. This is all during normal dry conditions and normal driving. I have also seen a huge amount of this same issue on the forums. My vehicle has been in the dealership service department four times and they have no fix yet. It is very unsafe and my wife is afraid to drive her brand new Jeep. It's really ridiculous that we have to deal with all this an no one seems to care until someone gets killed because of the issues. And if this doesn't get corrected someone is going to get hurt or killed in a car accident. This problem occurs on a regular basis but it's hard to recreate on the spot so it's impossible to get the dealer to believe it is happening but if you search the web there is tons of info on this issue.

On occasion when making either a left or right hand turn, the traction control light flashes and the engine loses power. All acceleration to the vehicle stops and will not resume until you release the gas pedal. The issue started in March of 2016 and continues till this date, 7/27/16.

I've had shifting issues with my vehicle for over 1 year now. Vehicle shifts rough and surges unexpectedly and randomly everyday. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership more than 5 times for this issue with no resolution and statements stating they "can't find any problems" with my transmission. My vehicle surges without pressing the gas pedal and adheres my vehicle from braking adequately to the point where I'm nervous it will push me into a stopping car in from of me.

Violent rumbling noise and vibration when letting off the gas between 30 and 20 mph. Can be made to go away when in manual mode or when traction control is turned off. This happens every time we drive the car. . Read more...
