general problems of the 2015 Jeep Renegade - part 2

My engine light came on,my a/c blows hot air and on 5/22/2018 my electric e break locked up while I was driving! in the park where I live.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. While attempting to go in reverse, the vehicle failed to respond. The transmission and check engine warning indicators illuminated. After a couple of attempts shifting gears, the vehicle was able to reverse. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that code p1d98 was found. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v529000 (power train). The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the battery needed to be replaced. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. Three weeks later, the vehicle failed to start and the check engine indicator illuminated. Additionally, the shifter would not engage out of park. The vehicle was towed to pischke motors of la crosse (434 4th st, la crosse, WI 54601) the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 35,000.

Twice in two weeks, while driving, the engine has shut off. The first time is happened was on October 29th, 2017 and the next time was this morning November 9th. The first time happened on a city street while slowing down to make a left hand turn, and the other happened with the foot on the gas trying to merge onto I-90 from the ogden on ramp. The radio and interior electrical systems continue to work, but the engine has shut off. Turning the key won't just turn on the car again. You have to hold it in the on position a few times for it to finally turn on.

The coolant fan is bad and they know about it now I have to be with out my car for over a month because I have to wait for new design one from paris.

Transmission slips at (jerks) at 8 mph every acceleration from a stand still and when accelerating, service rep at dealership said he can feel it as well, but no codes come up when placed on machine. Chrysler states transmission runs as designed. The only way to not feel the lag is to gun the gas from a stop. Taken vehicle in twice, first told a service bulletin was issued for the problem, said computer software needed update. Didn't work, as soon as I pulled out of dealership, problem remains. Second trip, they said they can do anything about this because of no-codes. (same problem is all over the internet from other consumers).

My Jeep Renegade overheated and broke down on 8-1-17, more than 4 hours from our home. We had to get the Jeep back to where we lived and the dealer let us know it was the coolant fan. They let us know it was on a major back order and there was no estimated time for this to be rectified. We are now in September and still no parts to fix my Jeep that I am paying a payment for and is under warranty. Jeeps should recall this part and honor their warranties and make good on these car notes.

Vehicle will randomly accelerate without any input from the gas pedal. This can vary from a short burst of speed and a spudur to a long term acceleration that only stops when applying the break. Even when stationary the vehicle will raise rpms considerably wanting to lurch forward if not in park. This issue began to be noticeable around the 25,000 mile mark in my case.

Approximately one month after purchasing my 2015 Jeep Renegade trailhawk, I began having trouble with the electrical system. The battery has died four times, the key fob(s) work intermittently, the engine has shut off on its own, the clock continuously resets the date/time, and the windows have stopped working once. I have been forced to use Jeep's roadside assistance twice due to dead batteries. This weekend, the heater stopped working and it does not turn on. These continuous problems substantially impairs both the use and value of my car. Additionally, it presents a significant safety concern for my family; winter is upon us and my wife utilizes this vehicle to transport our two children, whom are each under the age of three years old. The thought of them being stranded with no heater due to continuous electrical issues is unnerving. I initially considered this to be an isolated incident; however, I've asked two additional 2015 Jeep Renegade owners if they have encountered any similar instances - both have returned their Renegade to the dealership for servicing due to electrical issues. The dealership informed them the vehicle simply needed a software update. This is not a satisfactory response!.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss motive power and would not immediately restart. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic reprogrammed the engine software. No further information was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.

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.

Renegade when in motion going 40mph and encounters a hill/increase in grade, will not shift into next gear. The vehicle is stuck in the lower gear @ 40mph as the engine rev's over 3,000rpm but the vehicle won't accelerate and won't kick-in the higher gear. Have to nearly press the accelerator to the floor to force the vehicle to ramp the rpm's to 4-5,000 to get it to shift into the correct gear. Feels like I'm going to blow the engine when I have to do this but it won't shift into gear. This has been happening consistently for over a month. Called dealership, they said there are several software updates for the Renegade, so try that and see if it fixes the issue. Took to dealership today for 7 software updates.

I purchased the first model of the Jeep Renegade in may 2015. It has remote keyless entry. In the past year, the keyless entry has stopped working 7 times. It had to be towed to the dealer 4 times. There is no way to start the car, even when you take the metal part of the key and touch it to the start button. I've been stranded without a vehicle each time. Jeep says they've never seen this happen before but I've read multiple Jeep forums stating that this is a known problem. For a brand new car, this is a major defect. The second to last time it was brought to the dealer, they switched the battery and said that would fix it. Two months later, the same problem came back. They don't know how to fix this issue and my car is unsafe to drive for fear that I could be stuck somewhere without cell service. Each time this happens, the car is parked and off. I never know when the issue is going to occur, it happened twice last week and the first time it got towed to the dealer. By the time it got there, the dealer said there was no issue starting the car and they couldn't replicate the problem so there was no fix.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the emergency brakes turned on voluntarily while driving. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred when the vehicle was off. In addition, the vehicle failed to start when the ignition key was turned to power on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was informed that the failure was located at the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 5,600.

While driving, there was a loud pop, the vehicle then lost power, the engine compartment caught fire, then the fire consumed the entire vehicle.

I was driving at a steady speed on a highway when the engine cut out for a few seconds, then started again. It has happened 3 times. I have a standard transmission (stick shift).

Jeep engine dies during hot weather, pulling up steep hills or towing even small light trailers and going up a slight grade! I have had my Jeep in the shop at the Jeep dealership many times but they do not give me any paperwork because they say there is nothing wrong and all 2. 4l engines in the Renegade have this problem!!!.

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.

2 weeks after buying my brand new Renegade, it completely shut off on the freeway & I had to coast over 3 lanes of traffic to the shoulder. Not only did my Jeep leave me stranded, I could have been ran over at 80 miles an hour. Just before shutting down, my car would not shift gears and began to lose speed even though the rpms were hitting the red marks. It was serviced, and given 2 software updates. A week later, the same thing happened. You can push the gas pedal to the floor, but the vehicle does not accelerate, instead it dies, however the rpm's go up as high as they can go but my car won't shift gears. Now it is in the shop (for over a week), supposedly getting a new fuel pump, which I do not think is the ultimate problem. I have read about the 9 speed automatic problems and this is exactly what keeps happening. After putting me in danger twice, I feel certain as soon as I get my new fuel pump and drive home, this will break down again. I have had the Jeep one month, brand new.

On October 2, 2015 I was driving down a city street near my home. As I came to a stoplight the engine cut off without warning. There were no warning lights or messages on the dashboard, the engine simply cut off. I tried to restart the vehicle, and received the message ¿shift to park, then to drive. ¿ at this point I was a hazard in the road that other vehicles had to swerve to avoid. I was able to get the engine restarted and traveled approximately ¼ mile to a spot where I could turn around. As I turned onto a side street the engine again cut off without warning. I was able to coast to the side street to a safe parking spot. After about 15 mins I was able to start the vehicle again and drive it ½ mile to my home where I had the vehicle towed to the Jeep dealership service center. The dealership kept my vehicle for nearly a week, but was unable to find anything wrong. They stated to me that they attached the Chrysler computer diagnostic and found no errors registered and that they inspected the vehicle and found nothing wrong. They also stated that they drove it for 10 miles and could not get the issue to repeat, so they told me to pick up the vehicle and continue driving it. On oct 9 the vehicle lost power while turning, but the engine did not shut off and again displayed no warning lights. On oct 15 the engine again cut off, but this time on an incline and almost rolled into oncoming traffic. We brought the vehicle back to the dealership and discovered there was no oil in the engine. My safety concerns with the Renegade are as follows:1) none of the engine sensing systems registered the low oil, 2) if the low oil level triggered the engine safety cutoff why was this not registered in the vehicle¿s fault log, and 3) after the engine safety cutoff was triggered and there were no error or check engine messages of any kind. They could find no record of any problems.

My transmission had been slipping in the lower gears, and especially when I turned corners. Finally the car got stuck in 5th gear, and barely goes when I hit the gas. Both the transmission and engine light came on. I am taking it in.

Bought Renegade sport fwd April 28, 2015. 1. Door locks/key-fob stopped working by June 1st. Took to dealer, said Chrysler knew of issue, trying to get a "permanent" fix, but a temp fix was to re-set the computer system; they did and it lasted less than 2 hours. Have to use key to unlock driver door, then reach around and unlock/lock the other 3 doors by hand once inside the car. "luckily", the key-fob still locks/unlocks the rear lift gate. 2. Rear wiper blade turns on randomly when front wipers are on. Only way to stop the rear wiper is to turn off the front wipers, wait a few seconds, then turn them back on. 3. Car sat for 3 days (July 15-17), and battery completely drained/dead. Key stuck in ignition. Called road side assistance, they tried to jump it with a jump-box, Jeep wouldn't turn over, so had to jump with the tow truck's battery connected to jumper cables and after several minutes, the electrical gadgets started to work, and several minutes later on the charge, it finally turned over. 4. Car transmission "jerking" when driving slowly out of my driveway (approx. 5 mph). This has happened several times.
