Six problems related to radio/tape cd player have been reported for the 2017 Jeep Renegade. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When I started my Jeep this morning it started shaking really bad and the service engine light came on. The shaking stop so I chanced it to work. It felt like it was losing power and would rattle a little. Anytime I made a turn it felt like the Jeeps tires were sliding. It's taking a lot longer to pick up speed and seems to be forcing itself into gear. In the last few days though my lights have been flickering while driving and even the radio went out for a few hours. The outlets (old cigarette lighter outlets ) stop working too. Don't know if it's related to the rest but it did oddly start in the same time frame.
The trunk pop open if you have anything to close to it. After starting the car then driving the car will stall in the middle of the road. You have to put the car in park. And give it a few mins. Then try to restart the car. Then you can go. If you hit the radio buttons to fast it will turn the volume all the way up and will be stuck there till you turn off the car and reset the radio.
Body control module was replaced at 5000 miles. Two weeks after the bcm replacement, the radio system froze twice in one week. Two weeks later, oil pressure light came on then went off immediately after. At 6100 miles, car stalled at around 35mph, warning lights stated that the vehicle must be stopped in order to switch gears. The car was in drive and is an automatic. After this warning, the engine shut off, engine light came on as well as the etc light. Turned the vehicle off, then restarted several times, with the same result. Engine would not turn over, then after about 15 seconds, would turn on with the same warning lights. Was able to restart and drive about 100 ft, engine sputtering and low power, could not get enough speed before stalling again. After restarting again, warning lights did not come on and vehicle drove almost normally for several miles at low rpm, some hesitation when accelerating.
I have taken my car to the dealer several times because while driving the car will jerk really hard. This happens when I come to a complete stop, when I slow down and pick up the speed or just driving normal. The dealer said it had to imitate the problem so he can know what to fix. So it did imitate the jerk so he wanted to drive it hisself cause he said the way I was driving caused the car to jerk. I told him I had this car 2 years and it has never done that. So it can't be the way I'm driving. I've been driving the same the whole while I've had the vehicle. They have gave the car back to me and it's doing the same thing even worse. . It's frustrating cause they keep saying that it's not doing it. I will never by another car from this dealership again. This is the second vehicle that I have purchased from them with a bad engine and transmission. No help from the dealer just a lemon of a car. The radio kept going blank. They said they fixed that. I got it back it did it again plus the jerking. I've been to them3 timesalready still having the same problem. 😡never will purchase a Dodge Jeep of. O kind again.
Car will not start. Push button key start. Lights on steering column light up, radio goes on car doesn't start. After multiple attempts of shutting car off and on the car delays and then kicks over. Nothing we'd up when it happened when on the e at dealer. Dealer replace a component in the push button key start. Had car back for 5 days. Happened again x 2. Dealer took car and again could not get to simulate.
Radio power/adjust on own. Multiple/random. Headlights cut out driving in the dark. Both sides effected. Fog lights stay on. Possible link to turning steering wheel, with or without use of turn signal-effect on both headlights simultaneously. Turn signals not working intermittently (neither for lane change or turning, left or right. -multiple occurrences). Tail lights- while backing into driveway one night I realized I had no lights in the back including reverse lights (only acknowledged this problem once by the reflection of my car in my husbands) all lighting issues occurred with lights turned to auto and vehicle in motion. Emergency brake self engaged while in motion. After switching gears and before hitting gas and other times while driving at lower speeds. A message along the lines of-vehicle not on, shift to park and press run/stop button-has shown but only after turning off the vehicle does it show that the parking brake has engaged-multiple occurrences. Passenger seatbelt sensor illuminates at random, nothing on seat (concerned for malfunction in the event of an accident) -have to press the stop/start button several times for the car to turn on (no response in the form of sounds or lights with each attempt prior to the one that starts the vehicle. -remote start:vehicle turns on > try to enter vehicle moments later--car will turn off with touch of handles or press to unlock button-"remote start disabled" -lift gate closed and audibly latched>lights flash, latch releases, door opens itself-may happen 1 or 30 times. Check engine: thermostat replaced, key fob loses connection: warning "fob has left vehicle" while actually in cup holder, engages parking brake-only way to get rid of message/disengage brake is to power off/on. Can drive with no keys in part of transmission repaired, radio replaced 2 times, transmission sticks/slams multiple other issues.
