general problems of the 2018 Jeep Renegade - part 2

Sunroof would not retract to closed position. I tried to reset the module to get the sunroof to close and pieces were heard breaking inside as the mechanism tried to close. I believe the glass is no longer on the track system. Sunroof mechanism does not work anymore.

I have a 2018 Jeep Renegade, when it rains water leaks from my roof/ceiling down to my dashboard soaking all the electrical equipment. My vehicle doesn’t have a sunroof and I can’t find where the leaking is coming from.

It consumes oil fast. I just had an old change 1845 miles ago. My oil light came on check and it ts empty not a drop on the stick. Not the 1at time it's happened. No oil leak. Only 58000 miles.

Screen began to slowly go black. It started with 1/4 of it black and is now at 3/4 black. Touch still works, but I am blindly touching without being able to see what I’m selecting. This affects the back up camera as well. Soon it will be completely blacked out and I will not have access to system options, back up camera, and other settings I can only access through the screen! this is a safety issue and secondly a major inconvenience. Dealership replacements are quoted to be $1,700+!!!.

Uconnect radio system developed a delamination issue resulting in phantom touchscreen presses that began activating various vehicular systems including the climate control system, infotainment system, and most importantly, the sos system that then proceeded to dial 911 multiple times without user input.

Vehicle suddenly powers down with no warning lights. This happened in traffic. Upon pulling over, turning off and restarting the vehicle, it was fine. It happened again a half hour later. Dealership could not identify the problem. Car was fine for more than a week, then happened again. It seems to be a common problem per internet search for this model.

Uconnect 8. 4 infotainment system screen starts to delaminate and melt causing the screen to push buttons randomly and distract the driver.

Coolant in reservoir has been overheating since replacement of o-ring on pressure cap. I have take the car to the mechanic twice to find the solutions as to what could be causing this issue. The first time I was told it was not my radiator because I thought I had suffered damage to it from an accident a couple of years ago, and the second time they have flushed the system and told me there were no signs of leakage in the system. I have even speculated it could be the thermostat housing, so I got that replaced as well, but to no avail.

On several occasions the sun roof will not close. When you try to close the vent it will open it self all the way and will not close. There have been times it started to rain and could not close it because it would move forward then go back all the way open. I took it to the dealer and they said if something is in the track it will not close. That includes water if you wash the windshield.

I have had 4 incidents now where I made a right hand turn and the car stalled in the middle of the road. Turned the engine off, attempted to restart. The engine would try to fire, but would take several tries, then would start roughly. Then would run fine.

While going down the highway, the Jeep shut down/locked up. The engine was still running, but wouldn't let me turn it off or run anything electrical. Every service light possible came on. In order to get it to turn off, we had to turn off the computer. After that, it had no power whatsoever. The key light was showing. Luckily, I was able to pull over before getting hit. I had both of my kids in the car. I've seen where other people have had this happen. Why has it not been recalled. We're still waiting to find out what the issue is but the mechanic shop is behind due to workers being out with covid.

Left the store, stopped at a red light, car started acting like it was out of gas and stopped running, no “idiot” lights came on, no check engine nothing, put vehicle in park to restart (said on) and it would jerk like it was out of gas every time fir over 30 minutes I sat at a light and was unable to keep the vehicle started/running. Finally someone offered to push the car and it just started, too it to the dealer and because it was on a Saturday and the service department was closing in 5 minutes they refused to run a diagnostic test it sat there over the weekend and Monday they said that there was nothing wrong and to drive it for 1,500 miles and bring it back in, although car is still acting like it doesn’t want to shift or stay running, they said that because my VIN was not on the recall list they would only fix it if I paid out of pocket for it and the vehicle has less than 35,000 miles on it.

Vehicle has stalled twice in the past couple weeks. Once after a right turn and once on a highway after slowing to go around something. Car has been maintained at the dealership. I see recalls involving the fuel pump and an electric module, but my VIN doesn't show these.

While driving along my car shut down had message on dash put veh in park and select gear and a picture of oil can almost got hit from behind I was turning this has happened 4 times.

In December 2019 and on December 5, 2020 while I was driving the vehicle it stopped. I turned the engine off, sat for a few minutes then restarted the vehicle, ii was slow to accelerate, then stopped again. I sat for a period of about an hour and then was able to restart the vehicle. When this occurred in 12-2019 the vehicle had 6484 miles on the odometer. When it happened in 12-2020 the vehicle had 9663 miles. Both times it occurred it was in city traffic. I do not know the cause of this problem. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer from which I purchased the vehicle but they have been unable to identify the problem or repair the problem. As per consumer reports there has been a recall on the fuel pump for the make and model for the same year. After a search of the Jeep website, this agency's website and the dealer's records my vehicle is not on any recall list.

Internal driver side door handle spontaneously stopped working after I arrived home from work. Vehicle was parked in my parking spot, engine just turned off. Looked up past recalls, and 2015 model had similar issue with recall initiated.

I ordered some food and drove to exit of the parking lot and the car stalled completely in the middle of the road. The car didn't flash any lights. The dash repeated for me to put the car in park and press the on button. This wasn't working. I followed its instructions over and over but the car still would not move. When I would press the gas the car engine would get very bumpy despite not moving forward. I finally put it in reverse and it willingly moved backwards without hesitation. However, when put in drive again, the d on the gear selector would flash and I would lose control of the car again. I put the car in neutral and had someone push me out of the middle of the road. I turned off the car. When I turned it on one more time, the Jeep finally started driving like it should. I arrived home and checked the oil and it was not low.

My car is shutting down while driving it. My car just started saying �low oil pressure� and not even a day later turned off while I was driving it and I was almost rear ended. It did it once more before I was able to get it into the dealership. The dealership told me to do an oil consumption test and bring it back in but I don't think I should have to drive a potentially unsafe car. There is a class action lawsuit against fca from other people experiencing the same problems I am experiencing because fca has known about these issues for years and has done nothing to fix the problem.

The car dies while driving it. If you stop at a light, it dies. Then again after you restart and move up a few car lengths. Once it died while actually in motion!! apparently, the oil pressure gets low b/c the engine(2. 4) uses all of the oil within or less than 2 months time after an oil change. There is a recall on this 2. 4 engine, as of 12/10/20 I am told by the dealership, but only on Renegades that have all wheel drive and not front wheel drive such as mine. Not sure what the transmission has to do with a badly designed motor(a rep at the local dealership stated that it was a poorly designed engine that was supposed to use some oil); however, this engine sucks the oil dry in under 2 months time thus making the motor die/stall while driving. This is very dangerous! I have seen posts on forums where people keep telling others to make sure to keep an eye on your oil. Apparently, many people are having issues with this particular 2. 4 engine. The oil light only flickers while going around a corner & when you check the oil, it is almost bone dry - if comparing it to a 12 in. Ruler, it might land on the 1st line (of 8 lines) on the way to an inch - just the tip of the dipstick will have a slight amount of oil on it. This started happening within 2 months of purchase - car bought used in June 2020. At first, we thought that they sold us a car and didn't check the oil, but now we know better than that.

On a us art 250 stopped because of oil pressure going straight has happened a few times. Now it still happens but it is coming up service engine. The dealer and Jeep will not do anything about it. Took to advanced auto they did a diagnostic and is saying throttle actuator control system sudden high airflow detected and received engine torque request signal stuck. Wanting date below, but has happened several times. I'm putting most recent date of incident which was today. Which we took vehicle to dealer again today.

I bought the vehicle 3/6/2020 from the I-10 Dodge dealership in indio, CA. The car appeared to be working perfectly: no funny smells or noises, good acceleration and brakes, no warning lights on dash console or anything like that. Last Saturday (5/2/2020) I drove it to my friend's mobile home. I parked in the carport and turned the engine off. I went into the home and looked out the window about two minutes later. Smoke was pouring out of the engine compartment. I looked in vain for a hose or fire extinguisher, then called 911. At this point flames were shooting up from the engine, setting the carport and the side of the mobile home on fire. The fire department arrived and put out the fire. The vehicle was destroyed in the eight minutes from when I called 911 to when the firefighters put out the fire.

I was on my way to work, driving about 30 mph, and all of a sudden, some "d" light came on, & then all the lightd came on & then I recieved a message that I need to switch my gears & my tire locked up & my car just shut down. I was not able to turn my car back on. After several attempts to push my start button, after finally getting it to turn back on it stalled out again. I was able to get it to turn on again then I made it home. I started reading blogs & it said to check your oil. I checked it and it was completely empty. I changed my oil last month and barely have driven it. I have a 2018 Renegade with 24k miles on it. If my car did this when I jumped on the highway would of caused a major car accident. No reason why all my oil should be gone.

The vehicle burns oil causing the vehicle to shutdown without warning. We have the vehicle services regularly, but it burns so much oil we're having issues before it's due for routine oil change. My son was about 30 miles away from home when his vehicle stalled without warning. He also mentioned that at times it would sputter during acceleration. We purchased this vehicle new and currently it has 29,000 miles. We had the vehicle towed under warranty to the dealership and they kept it for over a week before they were able to look at it. I inquired about getting a loaner vehicle since we were down a vehicle and the dealer said all their loaners were out and they will only allow us to have the loaner for 5 days total. So, they said they would contact us when they had a loaner available. We never heard back from them, so my husband called them back 8 days later to inquire about a loaner again, and at that time they said the vehicle was ready; all it needed was oil. So, when we went to pick-up the vehicle they're charging us $189 and this vehicle is still on warranty. The warranty on the Jeep is fraudulent and the dealerships are devious.

Lwhile driving vehicle completely shut down with no warning sign. Was towed to the dealer and was told it was low on oil. The car is brand new with only 3000 miles. Dealer informed me to check the oil every 1000 miles. Was never told this when the vehicle was leased and now I'm stuck and afraid to drive it as it shuts down with no warning which is very dangerous.

Windshield wiper fluid leaking and is now leaking throughout the car. . It is leaking around the electrical wires in the front drivers side of the car under the carpet. Audio light on in car and also a lot of electrical problems on drivers side door.

My Jeep Renegade has 16000 miles on it. It has been in the shop 4 to 5 times for burning oil. When the oil gets low the engine shuts off while I'm driving. I was told I need to do an oil consumption test and it must burn a certain amount of oil for it to qualify for a new engine. It has shut off twice while my 8 month old twins were in the car. Both times I was on a city road. The first time I did an oil consumption test I brought it back after about 1500 miles and they told me it wasn't low. I stopped taking it since my last oil change and in 3000 miles it burned enough oil for it to shut off while driving. I brought it back to the dealership and they want me to do another test even though it has a long history of burning oil.

Was driving my car started to sputter and it is stalling out when I come to a stop. Also shaking and making noise when I drive it.

I bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade for the purpose of having a safe bluetooth system to talk with my family. I have owned since new and reported this problem to Jeep. The bluetooth cuts out and is garbled when on the phone. I own a 2018 Chrysler pacifica with bluetooth and it is flawless. I was told that this it what I get with a Renegade. I have to hold my phone in my hand while driving. In my opinion unsafe.

My skylight has never worked properly since we bought my 2018 Jeep Renegade . It worked very slowly closing in the beginning so they lubricanted it and it worked for maybe a year before it started not fully opening before closing then fully opening and not closing . . Again I was told a lubrication issue but when I confronted that they just done the lubricant last year, they now say the only fix is to totally replace the entire skylight at ungodly cost to me not them. . That’s ridiculous. . I have read so many other owners that are having the same issue and the fact that they have found that there are parts to repair this problem but no one want to do so being the dealership just want to replace the entire skylight after they charge you ungodly cost to tell you they can’t fix it just replace it. . What will it take for Jeep to step up and do these repairs for its owners . . I love my Jeep Renegade and hate to have a skylight I paid more to have not work . . I’ve owned my Renegade since June 2019 a gift from my husband. But knowing we paid for something we can’t use without added expenses that they can’t guarantee and want guarantee because they are replacing the entire skylight with another skylight that has the same problem . . I get it. . But we are just asking for Jeep to make repairs to the problem that they are well aware of for years now so we who own and love our Renegade can completely enjoy all the features we paid for. .

My 2018 Jeep Renegade keeps stalling out it shakes and then just cuts off the engine light recently came on I couldn't understand that so I took it to be checked and was told everything is fine on the truck and that it probably needed to be recalled I'm terrified to drive this vehicle in fear of crash it is my sole means of transportation and just want a great running vehicle that I'm paying for.

My Renegade 2018 keeps shutting off while at most stops I take it in service at least 8 times and can't duplicate the problem the mechanic can't find nothing the service department was very rude and not helpful they were rude I want the service department offered me the loaner 6 times and did nothing about can't find the problem.

My Renegade trailhawk continues to stall while driving/turning. In the past two days it has happened three times. Each time my son was in danger of being hit by another vehicle going at a fast speed (35/40 mph). These stalls occurred on busy streets (holme avenue - 19136; knights road - philadelphia, PA (going to jefferson torresdale hospital to work) and frankford avenue and grant avenue, philadelphia, PA) when it stalled. The "check oil" light came on once. I checked the oil and it was empty. I just had the car inspected on March 28, 2019 - including an oil change. How can a car that has a little over 3,000 miles on it have this happen. This just started and puts my family in a very dangerous situation. This also happened the week after I got the vehicle - called the dealer (reedman toll) and they said they had no reports of it happening to anyone else so just keep an eye on it.

My vehicle's backup camera does not work. When I tried to back up and turned the shift into rear, the monitor usually turns on automatically but once it didn't and stayed all in black screen. I took my car to the dealer and they said the electric connection was loose. It was back on. But it happened again later so I took my car back to the same dealer again and they say the monitor works and they don't see any problem. Next day it turned all black again. It keeps happening. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.

Alarm comes on saying fcw sensor blocked but comes on at random. Times sensor is not blocked comes on while driving causing system not to function, other times when working auto braking will activate while no obstruction is present.

My 2018 Jeep Renegade was manufactured in 2017. . There is a recall on high oil consumption for this car. My car has burned oil since it was bought l every 3 months I bring it in to dealership and it is completely empty. It has stalled right in the middlle of traffic and shut off. As the car has gone up in miles the issue seems to be getting worse. I now run out every two months and there seems to be leading to other issues with the car. I have brought it in to the dealership and called Jeep to no avail. Obviously I have the same issues as the other Jeep Renegades with the 2. 4 engine and same years l. I do not I understand why a recall on my VIN has not been put in l. I have spent alot of. Money with all the extra oil and maintenance that's had to be been since the beginning. I feel this car will not last because of this issue through no fault but my own bit from a manufacturing error.
