general problems of the 2017 Jeep Renegade - part 2

Vehicle at first was not turning on then the following day on my way to work it stalled in the highway I was pressing the gas but it just wouldn't accelerate. It was extremely dangerous could have cause an accident. Just on side note I just bought this car from a used car dealership about 2 months ago.

This is related to NHTSA recall 18v731000. Temperatures have been high in August and the vehicle sputters while in park, in drive, in motion, at red lights, while accelerating, while decelerating or simply cruising at steady rate in town or highway speeds. It has been consistent for two to three tank fills of gas (mid and premium grade). The air filter was recently replaced and looks normal. We discovered the recall mentioned above and the symptoms certainly seem similar.

Gas pedal/acceleration will not engage when vehicle is in reverse, in a certain circumstance. This happens every time after I first start the vehicle, place it in reverse, and coast/roll backwards (out of my driveway, into the road, into traffic). Slamming my foot on the gas pedal results in no acceleration, so I just roll slowly into the road. Vehicle will accelerate normally after I then shift to drive. Not being able to quickly accelerate in reverse when leaving for work every morning is an obvious safety concern. I took this to my dealership, and they were able to replicate the issue. They then tested this issue on 2016 Renegade, 2017 Renegade, and 2018 Renegade. The 2016 and 2017 Renegades had this same issue. The 2018 Renegade reportedly did not have this issue. My dealership spoke with a Jeep engineer that has investigated this issue before, and tried replacing the entire transmission system as a solution. That didn't fix the issue, so the engineer claims that it's "working as designed. " clearly it's designed unsafely. I have included my dealership's notes indicating that they were able to reproduce the issue and my (and other) Renegades. And that they ended up diagnosing this as "issue is normal no problem found. ".

Fuel pump module: issues addressed by recall remain unresolved. Was told by dealer that there was a part available, then had our appointment cancelled because they had run out. Driving the car with this issue is dangerous as the car tends to stall when accelerating onto a highway or when making a turn. We have barely avoided accidents on several occasions due to stalling, including one with a semi-truck. Engine: hard idle when cold. Engine rattles loudly. Power train: when car is accelerated to 30 mph range, it "hiccups" or jerks when accelerator is pressed. We have taken the car in for this issue numerous times, but every time we are told that the "computer isn't picking anything up" and problem remains unresolved.

Jerking/lunging of car during acceleration up hill or going down hill or sometimes taking off from a complete stop.

I purchased my 2017 Jeep Renegade brand new at the end of January 2018. I was told to bring my car in at 5000 miles for an oil change. Right before my oil change was due, while driving in a parking lot, I made a turn and saw a low engine pressure light and then my engine turned off while driving. My husband & I met with the Jeep dealer and the shop manager said the engine was just "breaking in" and used up the oil. This wasn't something we had heard of before. They did an oil consumption test and after all that was done, they said it was fine and it wouldn't happen again. I've taken my car in like clock-work to have the oil changed. This week, with still 300 miles to go until my next oil change, my low oil pressure light came on and my car turned off while driving down a hill on a busy main road. The dealership is telling me again "this car just uses oil". They confirmed I was 2. 5 quarts low. We have 2 Renegades in the family, my daughter's 2015 Renegade that we bought in 2017 with only 2500 miles on it doesn't have this problem. I am now getting a second oil consumption test run. This is dangerous and scary. I see there was a recall on 2017 Jeep Renegades for a cracked oil pump issue. My car is not included in that yet it has the same symptoms. I bought a brand new car so that I wouldn't have "used car" issues. This is unacceptable and I'm getting nervous my car will just turn off and I will be in an accident the next time as I've been lucky so far.

I bought my Jeep with 17miles on it. Since I have had it I have had many reacurring problems. 1st around the 8000 mile mark my Jeep started skipping gears like when you shift a old ten speed bike. Brought it to dealership it took a week or so and got it back the had to reprogram the shifting module?? then 2nd as I was driving my car it would just lose power and shut off, not fun when driving on the highway going 60mph. I called the dealer they said they didn't know why it did this. A few day later I was crossing a intersection and it did it again. And I almost got hit by a semi truck. This was at about 30000 miles. When I brought it to the dealership they said I had a oil problem. And that is why. They replaced top end of my engine?? well what about the bottom? now I'm at 50000 and all the problems that I had are happening again it is bucking when shifting. Randomly shutting off. I'm feed up. And my car isn't covered under a warranty any more. As of now I have a beautiful large car payment on a car that is two years old that I don't think is going to last as long and my payments. I'm scared to drive it. I'm scared to drive my daughter around in it.

At approximately 31,500 miles transmission is making a loud clunk sound and jars the vehicle. So loud and hard it startles the passengers. I believe it is happening between 20-30 mph and when I remove accelerator and begin to coast. It seems to be when I coast downhill. No warning lights display on the dash. Seems to only happen at low speeds. Possibly has occurred 4 times before taking to dealership the first time. Took vehicle to purchasing dealership March 2019. Problem still occurring the same day I picked up. Has happened 3 more times in 2 days. Rescheduled with purchasing dealership 2nd attempt to repair. I am the original owner - purchased April 2017. One driver. Issue is new and started at approx 31,500 miles in March 2019.

I purchased this car new 0 miles since the first month, this automobile has had service after service, the first two months lighter wouldn't work, next month dealership had car for over a week would not start at all= new electrical panel, a few months later seat belts wont lock on back seat, next,hood wont open, then, needed new latch, now the car is 16 months old now hesitates to drive, who can go thought this with a car that is financed thought Chrysler . I'm at the point I may just let them have it, im tired of the foolishness.

I bought 2017 Jeep Renegade 1/2018. First 6-9 months ran good no issues noticed. When I reached approx. 28k miles, the Jeep started severe hard shifting with a clunk & car jerk anytime I was driving in speed range of 27-32 mph. Over next 5 mos. 10/2018�Feb/Mar 2019, I took my Jeep to same dealer purchased/serviced 5 different times. Each time same complaint of hard shift 27-32mph. This sporadically happens with no rhyme or reason to when only that it occurs during that speed range. I could be accelerating or coasting in town to decelerate and will happen. I filed a formal complaint to Jeep chryselr 1/2019 after 3rd dealer service visit not resolved. Dealer every time said all normal, no transmission issues. Now both dealer & Jeep insist hard shifting is normal claiming it is an electronic transmission that has a �clutch� engagement around that speed and normal to feel when it engages or disengages. Both dealer & Jeep claim this is also common and more noticeable when it reaches colder weather but refuse to acknowledge any issues. I advised my Jeep didn't do this first few months when bought new during winter season Jan 2018, but still I am told by both dealer & Jeep that this is normal. I still have the problem today and no one has resolved. Now they just say nothing they can do. I even stopped driving distances may-July afraid to go over my 36k warranty. I am getting close to my 36k warranty exp. Now and asked for one last time to please figure out the hard shifting issues before something happens. I won't even let my 3 teen driving children behind wheel of the Jeep for fear that the hard shift & car jerks would potentially cause them to have an accident. I owe too much for trade-in value so am stuck with a new Jeep that has insane shifting issues and Jeep will not acknowledge, take ownership, or recall to fix even after multiple consumer reviews show same issue.

My Renegade has repeatedly stalled out while driving. Unfortunately this last time resulted in a minor accident. The Jeep has less 16k miles on it. I have notified fca but until it is resolved I have no vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. On several occasions, while attempting to start the vehicle, the push to start button was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to start. Additionally, on several occasions and while driving various speeds, a warning indicator illuminated suggested that the gear shift lever be shifted to the park position before shifting into a drive gear. The vehicle was taken to coughlin marysville Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (located at 15777 watkins rd, marysville, OH 43040, (937) 246-5386) where it was diagnosed that the failure may be due to the type of fuel and that the vehicle was two quarts low on engine oil. The dealer also stated that the fuel suction door was misaligned. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failures recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not accelerate past 35 mph. When the contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle, the check engine and oil warning indicators illuminated. The contact scheduled a diagnostic appointment with normandin Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram fiat (900 capitol expressway auto mall, san jose, CA 95136, (408) 266-9500). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,602.

We bought a 2017 Jeep Renegade in September 2017. Our Renegade has a very hard shift problem and makes a loud clunk sound around the 25-30mph range. . . It hits so hard that it feels like someone hit you in the back of the car while driving. We had our car serviced 3 times at the dealership for this problem and it still continues. When we went back for the 3rd time on may 24th, the service advisor told us that it wasn't throwing any codes so they didn't know what to do to fix it. He also informed us that this was a big problem with the Renegades and all they could do was to flash a software update even though he knows it will not fix the problem. Another tech said "is your car still under warranty?" we said yes, it only has 32,000 miles on it. He said to the other tech, we should just put a whole new transmission in the thing. The other tech said, if we do that, it will just be putting the same kind of transmission back in it (9 speed transmission) which would eventually have the same problem. We were told that most people just want to try to trade the car in for something else. The service tech advised us to talk with a sales person. So while talking with the sales person, she tried to get us into a certified used car. We bought a new car for a reason, to not end up with some else's problems with a used car. Then we ask to speak to the manager. He told us that any car he put us in would just have the same transmission and possibly the same problems. The manager actually told us that we would just be better off trading it in at another dealership. We went to the Subaru dealership to speak with them about trading it in and they only wanted to offer us a trade in value of $10,000 when we still owe $15,000. It just doesn't seem fair that no one at the Jeep dealership is willing to help its customers when they clearly know they have sold many customers faulty vehicles.

When you get up to 29-30 mph the vehicle will jerk. Sometimes so hard it feels like you have been hit in the back in. I took it in 3 times to be checked out. This is the explanation they gave me for why my car does this. That newer vehicles get used to one person driving it and when someone else does then goes back to the original person it knows this. So it is trying to relearn the driving pattern. I know cars are a lot smarter now. Not that Smart though. I know something is making it do this. No one can give me a real explanation.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. While driving 35 mph, the contact shifted gears and the transmission seized. Shortly after, the vehicle stalled and "shift to desired gear" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was to be towed to ontario Chrysler Jeep Dodge (1202 auto center dr, ontario, CA 91761, (909) 906-7097) for diagnostic testing. When the contact took the vehicle to the same dealer in the past, he was informed that there were no failures. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,355.

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.

Engine shuts off when turning. At approximately 23,000 miles October 2018, dash message briefly illuminated "check engine oil" only one time (then turn off) when in a sharp turn (left and right directions). This happened 3 different times. The 4th time, the engine complete shut off in the middle of the turn. I was leaving my work parking lot and decided to drive toward the dealership. The engine turned on without hesitation and no warning on dash. 1/10th mile from work, the engine turned off again in a turn, almost causing a rear-end collision. I pulled to the shoulder and called the purchasing dealership to explain and asked if I can drive to them. I explained the only issue was this and it was time to change oi. The technician said that changing the oil will resolve the problem. It did. It is now match 2019 and the vehicle has not shut off since October. I am not thrilled about this "so called" safety feature. Save the engine by shutting off. . . . But put passengers in danger. Not happy - especially since I am a single mom of 3.

Vehicle cuts off randomly while driving, has been taken lake keowee Dodge for software update, but continues to have same issue. This issue happened about 3 months ago and cut off 5 times in one day on 8\10\18. This is extremely dangerous and there are no recalls as of yet.

Took my car to the dealer twice, first they told me it was my new tires. This time they told me it a rear drive axle module Chrysler know about it and trying to find a fix. I have had to deal with this noise problem for over a year, with them looking at me like I don't know what I'm talking about. The noise gets louder and louder the faster I go. Have not been able to go on the freeway without sounding like my tires are going to fall off. I had to replace my tires because the rear ones wore out in the middle of the tread on both rear tires could this be because of the problem?.

Car was in motion on a city street heading straight when it came to a complete stop. Various messages have been displayed the most previous times saying "to shift vehicle must be stopped" I wasn't trying to shift? no codes ever being shown are the same. All issues cause the car to completely stop. This is extremely dangerous on the roads ofcourse. It's already had an update to the system the dealership said was needed. Now back to doing the same thing so it's currently at the dealership again. Just hit 20k miles. All oil changes have been made on time as the Jeep has all warranties the chysler Dodge Jeep dealership offered. Can contact dealership for more detail. This has been ongoing since January 2018.

When am driving at 40 mph my car pulls when I let go of the gas or when I step on the gas. It also pulls at higher or lower speeds. It's not always at 40 mph. Also when am in driving my forward collision warning turns off just for no reason and on the dash it says it's turned off. Stays turned off for at least 1 min or 2. I have taken the vehicle for inspection but they can't seem to find where the problem presistes from.

On June 11th, 2 days after purchasing the car with just under 7000 miles we noticed the battery light on which disappeared about 10 minutes after driving it. Today, June 20th, while driving on florida's turnpike at 72mph warning light came on, there was a beeping sound and the car seemed to lose power very briefly as if it was going to turn off. This could be a safety hazard especially on an interstate. I am also noticing sluggish acceleration at times.

Transmission and engine problems, car stalling. Almost in bad car accident due to this issue, after looking at reviews im not the only one with issue. Not a happy customer.

Extreme hesitation upon acceleration and nearly stopping while trying to enter a freeway, twice. Key fob issues, auto start issues, radio and blue tooth issues, tire pressure gauge reading issues. First service visit I was told it was just in need of a computer rest. Second visit they said they found nothing wrong with it. Third visit they initially said it needed a software upgrade until I insisted it was serious and contacted corporate. Not only was I treated poorly but I was blocked from leaving a review. It was mentioned that engineers currently know there is an issue but are waiting until second quarter to publish it. I believe this is extremely negligent because it isn't just a faulty sensor light, the entire vehicle nearly dies while driving on a freeway, creating a risk for a fatal accident. I demanded records of all that has been done to this brand new auto, since issues first arose on 12/9/1027. From 12/9/2017-3/38/2018, I have had my car at the service center three times. And I just found the safety recall online, I have not been notified by Jeep or the dealership yet as to this recall pertaining to faulty sensor alerts. I am unable to select from the above list but "wheels' and "elec stability control" were also affected.

As driving out of the dealership I could hear the brakes squeaking. My first thought was since it was a brand new car, maybe the brakes need to be broken in. Although, now having over 20k miles, the brake squeak has gotten worse over time causing my rotors to become damaged with deep grooves. The car also jerks when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. It is embarrassing, especially when passengers in the vehicle, for my brand new, barely a year old, car to be jerking so roughly. If you are experiencing this same problem or something similar, please speak up so this problem can be resolved. There are others with the same complaint but have not spoken up, now is the time. Dont wait!.

While in motion, the transmission clunks randomly into a gear or, and sometimes miss shifts. When in sport mode, transmission won't shift whether shifted up or down leaving the car at speed dangerous in traffic.

My vehicle has been shifting hard when taking off from stop or driving along and it happens it races when driving and then stalls it want go sometimes. Its been to two dealership and worked on it still is not working. It's in the shop again. I don't want this vehicle anymore. I need to be safe. It almost got me hurt two times. I need it replaced. I am disabled. I wish this didn't happen I need a vehicle that want be disabled. Let me know ASAP. Thank you. Kelly floyd cerro gordon,nc 28430.

The vehicle shuts off completely while driving if engine oil sensor detects low oil in engine. This happens without warning no matter where you driving ie (highway or local roads).

Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would not immediately response when pressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer windward Chrysler(46177 kahuhipa st. Kaneohe hi) who indicated that no problems were present and the failure described were normal driving characteristics of the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10. Jft.

On 4 occasions now since owning my Jeep Renegade the vehicle will jerk, check enhine light comes on, and the vehicle will lock in 3rd gear. I try to switch to manual shift and will not shift. I purchased this vehicle with 50 miles, and now over 28,000 miles with reoccurring problems. On instance the vehicle light warning comes on indicating all of the lights are out in the vehicle, and the light build indicator will remain for a short period of time, and cut off. The dealership has replaced the transmission computer on the first instance, replaced the bsm on the second occasion, and since then 2 software updates. This vehicle is defective in some way and fca needs to address these ongoing issues that are a huge safety concern.

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.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited numerous electrical failures. The oil pressure and engine indicators remained illuminated, and the four wheel drive lock button flashed while attempting to engage the four wheel drive system. Stetler giambalvo family Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, ram (1405 roosevelt avenue, york, pennsylvania 17405, phone (888) 226-0954) updated the four wheel drive software system, but the failure was not corrected. The vehicle could not be driven in snowy conditions. The oil pressure indicator was also replaced, but the repair did not correct the failure. The oil pressure and engine indicators remained illuminated. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

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!!!!!!!!!.

Tamara recall- I was driving on a major highway car would not accelerate stayed at 60 mph. It took about 3 to 5 min then started to pick up speed again. I was pressing the gas. But nothing and I was driving in the fast lane. This Jeep is new only 300 miles on it.
