Seven problems related to check engine light on have been reported for the 2017 Jeep Renegade. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Its running real rough and has been stalling out. Also my oil change light has been coming on more than its should be. Also the check engine light is on all the time now. I had the ignition starter sensor replaced as well. 3 weeks ago n now everything is going wrong with it once again.
The car decides when it wants to start and start. The car will shut off and lock up while driving and has put me in multiple dangerous situations. The check engine light turns on with the airbag light when it will not start. When it finally decides to start there is no cel on. Also, the bottom fog light went out due to faulty design and gasketing.
Left a local drive thru and Jeep began idling hard. Drove on a busy roadway and lost speed until car was at 0mph (was originally at 45mph) turned car off on busy intersection and turned back on. Car drove 1. 5 miles down the road and lost speed again. Was able to pull into gas station and have car towed to greenway Jeep in orlando. Check engine light did come on.
The check engine light has come on in my vehicle twice. When the light comes on, the vehicle jerks when applying the breaks. The car has been looked at twice by the dealer. The dealer said in both instances that this was the result of a bad ignition coil. The ignition coil was replaced each time. The issue is now presenting itself a third time, but the check engine light has not come on. I believe this vehicle may have been missed in the recent recall for the engine issues.
2017 Jeep Renegade with 42,000 miles has faulty ignition coils, causing the vehicle to misfire, and stall while driving. After our Jeep Renegade started running rough and misfiring, I started researching possible issues. Shortly after this the check engine light indicated a problem, which disabled the 4 wheel drive in the vehicle during a snowstorm here. Upon pulling the cel code, we found a misfire in cylinder 2 and replaced the spark plugs as this is a typical solution to minor ignition issues. Upon replacement, I noticed one plug was badly fouled and corroded with another having slight fouling. After replacement of the spark plugs, the vehicle acted ok for about an hour then started misfiring again. We swapped the 2 and 4 coil with each other resulting in the misfire moving to cylinder 4. This Lexus to replace the ignition coils solving the issue. This vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it, and upon further research we are finding this is a common problem with the Renegade ignition coils failing prematurely causing the vehicle to misfire and stall. This is a potential life threatening issue because if the vehicle stalls while driving could very likely cause accidents. Additionally the failure of the 4wd with acel puts the driver at further risk of being stuck or causing a wreck when the vehicle does not perform as expected.
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.
First breakdown check engine light and air bags light came on then the engine locked up and I could not switch gears and could not accelerate. Second break down emergency break locked up and would not release and check engine light and check airbags came on again. Third breakdown emergency break locked up and would not release again and the check engine light and air bags light came on again and could not switch gears. Fourth breakdown would not start had to be towed turns out battery needed to be replaced. Fifth breakdown engine stalled had to pull over and restart the car. Sixth breakdown remote start the car did not start up and then would not start manually. Seventh breakdown engine stalled again had to be towed would not start backup. 8th breakdown Jeep was shifting really hard took to delaership now has to have transmission replaced. This car is a year and a half old and has had all these problems I just found out that Jeeps that are 2017 and 2018 have recalls this vehicle has the electrical problem and the boby is falling apart. All of this has affected the gas mileage. All these break down were city streets and highway.
