general problems of the 2017 Jeep Renegade

Random warning messages and lights. Power steering fails, as does the power brakes. Usually, as I'm driving, it begins with airbag warning message. Then, the warning messages increase: front collision, lane departure, blind spot, brake, power steering. While all of these things are happening I hear my doors lock, and unlock. Finally, I lose my power steering, and power brakes, like what would happen if the car has stalled. However, it is still running. Recently, after losing the power steering and brakes, I stopped and with the car still running, I could not put up my windows.

Abs system issues: all warning lights come on - abs, traction control, parking brake (the yellow light as well as the red one. Red comes on an flashes then goes off), hill start, ect. . . Had codes ran that came back with several abs related codes as well as engine codes leading back to the abs system. Came up with right rear tone ring needs replaced. This is likely untrue as the lights come on and off leading me to believe it is more likely an issues with the speed sensor. This safety risk with this is that when the lights are on there is no traction control leading to it locking up an sliding even at low speed (few miles per hour when stopping at bottom of dirt/gravel drive way). There is also a power change lasting a few seconds while driving when the lights do go out. I have also had only a few times where the parking brake (e brake) will come on and stop me immediately when I first start to move forward.

This car is a lemon and the entire car should be a recall. Shortly after having it I had to replace the tires , brakes , suspension. Then just a couple months ago I had a sediment in the coolant that is very rare and the only time the mechanic experienced that was on recall cars where (not sure if I am saying this correctly) dust is left when they cast the engine in production. And it takes years for it to build up and destroy your car. Now it’s at Jeep in dade city FL and they said the engine is bad … after spending $950 on the sediment issue. Another $980 a couple weeks ago for battery , spark plugs , computer software update etc. Now they want another $700 just to open my engine up and see what’s wrong. I am done. So as of now I have no car. Jeep only offered me $2k to buy it from me. And I still owe $12k. And I put about $3k into it in the last 5 months. This should be illegal to sell a lemon like this and leave a consumer like me more than $12k out. And from my research. Many others have the same complaint. Something legally should be done about this.

The vehicle instrument panel begins flashing multiple warning lights while driving and subsequently while stopped such as emergency brake on, key fob left the vehicle, fuel engine, tpms, etc. All of these occur while the vehicle is moving. While coming to a stop the power steering pump also becomes inoperative, the shift indicator (prnd) is blinking, and it is impossible to move the shift lever. The vehicle will not shut off until the battery is disconnected. The problem seems to manifest when ambient air temperature exceeds 80 fahrenheit and the vehicle has been previously operated.

While attempted to stop at traffic light. Brake caliper on right passenger tire only locked. Causing vehicle to swerve into oncoming traffic in parallel lane while I attempted to gain control. Vehicle was inspected by local brake and tire company on 12/7/22. It was explained by said company that for only one brake caliper to be affected to the point of needing to be replaced was extremely uncommon. Considering vehicle was purchased with 8 existing miles. Vehicle currently has 83,000 miles.

I was in aware the driver side door wasn’t completely closed the indicator wasn’t on as I pulled out of a parking lot turning right I guess the door moved enough to set off the indicator and that in turn triggered the electric parking brake and the car locked down as a huge dump truck is coming towards me… I had plenty of space to pull out but when the brakes locked down now I’m stuck with seconds from unpact it takes 9 seconds to deactivate the epb having to be fully stopped push the brake pedal hit the button and wait for it to unlock I had about 4 my only option was to floor it dragging my rear end into the next lane then jump into the left turn lane because there was a semi coming in the other lane…. This accessory almost killed me it’s only a matter of time before people start being killed by a brake that will suddenly lock down for now good reason and in all my research there is no way to disable it from operation now I have flat spots on both my tires.

The car is reading a electrical braking issue something with the electrical system that has been recalled with my year and model car.

Complaint crashno fireno injuries0 deaths0 my vehicle is due for an oil change February 11. Many 2017 Jeep Renegades have had a recall issued on them for the vehicle stalling while driving. Car completely stalled and locked up. Brought it to have oil checked and it was not the problem. They also checked battery and alternator which are fine. This is very concerning and have heard this with other Jeeps. . Car was driving when suddenly and unexpectedly came to a complete halt and on the other occasion it occurred at a stop.

I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade latitude. I bought it in 2020 and had it for 2 weeks when the engine blew up. There was a recall on the engine so Chrysler paid for the “new” engine. Two weeks after I got it back it started stalling out when I was driving down the road. I had a new starter put in it and now when it decides to shut down while driving the brakes come on, including the emergency brakes, it comes to a screeching halt, and the gear shift throws itself from drive into park. I just want to either get my car fixed or stellantis to trade with me to make things right. It is very unsafe to drive. Especially when you don’t know when it is going to do this because it doesn’t happen every time you drive the car.

Took the Jeep to dealer for PA state inspection . During the inspection it was revealed a problem with a rear disk brake. The inside pad has wore out do to not retracting. This Jeep has a electric emergency brake. I feel that there is a problem with this system, causing it not to retract the inside pad. The pad a wore complely out damaging the disk. I had to have the rear brakes replaced. Jeep has only 23000 miles on it. I believe an investigation into the electric emergency brake not working right. If not for my states yearly inspection law the problem world not have been known and could have caused an accident.

Purchased 4/20/2017 the problems began with the ac going out at 10000miles. The dealership didn't want to fix it told us to drive with the windows down. After arguing about our warranty we got a loaner. Next they replaced the wiring harness 2 times. Again, did not want to provide loaner had to complain for them to honor warranty agreement. Then transmission skips and radio frequency hub was replaced twice while in the shop for 4 months from Dec 14 2018 till around March 17 2019. Steering module replaced due to the steering wheel in the center getting completely hot. Complained about the transmission skipping still. Check engine light always comes on. Automatic start faulty. Will attach all repair invoices. Most recent! 5/6/2019, a Monday the car was scheduled due to a recall on the fuel pump and the automatic start would not work. Along with that when the car started the screen would flash warning signs: emergency break system, airbag system warning. The service department claimed to not have a loaner. However, Friday 5/10/2019 I had not received a call back and on my way to take my daughter to school. The emergency breaks locked up while driving 70 mph down fm 1289 heading to port o'connor, texas from port lavaca, texas. I went straight to the dealership and demanded a loaner. The vehicle is clearly a lemon! however larry taylor, a service technician, told us "I value my life I would not drive this vehicle". Paul perez service department manager said "I wouldn't put my family in that vehicle. " then they demanded we bring the loaner back 5/17/2019 to pick up our vehicle. The vehicle according to them had a short circuit, this is the second time mind you, and made the emergency breaks engage and the seat belts malfunction. Also, the airbags malfunctioned flashing warning as the breaks locked up. I could only select 3 options but seat belts needs to be checked.

I was hearing a noise when I brake so I took my car to the dealer to have the front brakes looked at. I was told that the front rotors needed to be replaced. I was shocked because the car is 11 months old with 19,152 miles there is no way that I should need to have my rotors and brakes replaced. I researched and found that this model is known to have brake pad issues which causes the rotors to have grooves. It is unacceptable that I should have to replace brakes this soon.

I purchased this vehicle used with 6000-ish miles on it, the front passenger brake system had started making a slight noise, somewhat scraping or dragging. When I brought in the car for a tire change or balance, the issue was brought up to me at big o tires in aurora CO, that an issue of the brake system has a scraping or wear that usually found in a much older vehicle or one with much more mileage. I cannot at this time give the exact explanation of the issue, but I recently had an issue with the front passenger tire with a slow leak, since the tire was replaced the issue with the scraping noise has returned. 2nd issue: the headlamps have always had a weak beam, not giving a good illumination of the road area ahead of the vehicle even when the weather is clear. It barely reveals the road ahead of me. When it is raining or snowfall, it is extremely poor. I have considered bringing it in for a change in the headlamps to a higher amp or extreme high reflecting blue lamp color that I am encountering in high illumination from oncoming vehicles. But had feared: cost, and that it would not change anything or make other electrical parts of strain to function.

Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that various speeds the vehicle felt as though there was an abnormal veering to the right and severe vibration. In addition an abonormal noise and jerking when the brake was depressed.

The failure mileage was approximately 287. Kh.

I picked up my Renegade from the service center yesterday for major issues with the auto shutting off while driving, blue-tooth, key fob, auto-start, acceleration and tire gauge issues. On the way back to work it felt like the brakes were grinding. As I was approaching a stop sign, the car was going around 15-20 mph and it lunged forward and stopped very hard and abruptly and the emergency brake then turned on, on its own. I turned it off and cautiously proceeded. Now, whenever I put the car in park, the emergency brake automatically turns on and the car feels rough while driving, like the brakes are partially engaged while I am driving. I have only put less than 10 miles on the Jeep since picking it up yesterday. This is a real threat to my safety. This is my second complaint and the fourth major issue. Do I need to die in a crash before someone will listen to me and help? these cars need recalled and taken off the road.

Getting false warnings on instrument panel such as lights being that are still working, service electric park brake, sometime the service the electric park just intermittently comes on and goes off now it just stays on and parking break is functioning properly.

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!.
