Three problems related to service engine light on have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Renegade. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This truck has been a nightmare. The first year I had it I had to take it to the dealership 7 times because my emergency brake would randomly turn on. They finally figured out it was an electrical problem. Last month I started the car and it was running like it had 150, 000 miles on it (it only has 42,000) and the service engine light came one. Took it to the dealership and I was told on the phone the the O2 sensor was bad and I needed a tuneup. . . But when I refused to pay the dealership $700 for the work the story changed when I went to pick up the car. They then told me they broke the O2 sensor when replacing a fan that had been recalled. While driving o the highway yesterday every light on the dash came on. Once I got home a turn it off and back on only the service engine light came back on. I have no clue what im going to do with this $35,000 lemon. I can only guess the car still has electrical issues or the engine is about to die at 42,000 miles even though I have have kept up with all required maintenance through the dealership. But I do know I will never buy another Chrysler product again in my life.
I turned on my Jeep Renegade with the automatic start button in like 30� weather. I drove it down the highway for about 10 minutes and the service engine light turned on. I also had the air bag, brake warning sign turn on. I stopped to put gas and just the service engine light stayed on. I had a diagnostic test done with code p0128- thermostat failure. Had to have it replaced in canada since I am on a temporary work permit. So it cost me an arm and a leg for service. Checked online and many people have had the same problem.
Ever since we bought the Jeep it's had problems. Problems included shuttering, electrical malfunctioning, and door locks failing. Even problems with the sun roof. Each time we took it back to the dealership the Jeep was returned with �no problem found�. Just recently the service engine light came on and we took the Jeep to get serviced. The mechanic told us about an issue or recall that's been occurring to our model Jeep.
