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.

I will start this off by saying I've had a few problems with my 2015 Jeep Renegade including a/c problems, power outlets(back seat 110v outlet, cargo outlets & built in flashlight) shutting off after only a few minutes of usage. The blind spot assistance will randomly pop up when driving saying �blind spot assist is temporarily unavailable� the biggest one being what's happening now which is what I'll explain below but to inform you more I'll include that it had 96k when I got the truck and had always kind of had a jerky feel when shifting between gears which I read was kind of normal, so I didn't put much thought into it until now. My truck was sitting in my driveway for 2 days without being moved and when I went to leave the battery was dead. I hadn't left anything on, lights, radio, ect. It had happened a few times before but I didn't think much of it till now. So after I charge the battery long enough to get the vehicle started it finally fires up but all these messages come across the screen: check engine, service transmission, blind spot temporarily out of service, passageway entry unavailable, along with a few more. I give it a minute having the truck running to reset these things their selves and most do except a few. The check engine light was still on along with the biggest problem which is the service transmission warning that has the truck stuck in gear; it won't shift out of park. I tried disconnecting the battery terminals for about 20 minutes seeing if the software will reset that way but it didn't help still has the message on the screen. I eventually had to have it towed to a dealership for repair. They've had it 4 days now and I'm still not sure what the problem diagnosis is but am dreading this major issue.

This has been an on and off going issue. When the problem occurs, the check engine light comes on and then the car would stall in the middle of driving on the highway or streets. A warning appears on my dashboard saying to put my car in park in order to switch gears. Sometimes it puts me in neutral when I'm at a street light. I'd have to turn my car off and restart it in order to drive again but it keeps happening. Several times I try to take my car into the dealership and the check engine light would turn off and it would continue to work like normal until the next episode. It's been getting progressively worse and worse now.

On two occassions while the vehicle was in drive operating on a two lane highway and remained in the drive position with the vehicle in motion the transmission indicator on the display shifted to neutral and the rpms revved without the accelerator pressed and the engine cut off. No codes or check engine lights indicated. The shifter remained in the drive position. The car had to be guided off the roadway and placed into park to be restarted. Vehicle was slow to restart both times. Both incidents occurred after entering a highway into the flow of traffic and accelerating and presented a danger to all drivers.

I purchased a 2018 Jeep Renegade at the end of July 2018, it had worked well until the end of June 2019. I was on a road trip from south carolina to colorado and I was on the road for a week with no issues, but on June 28th as I was driving on I-70 through kansas at about 80 mph when my engine began to stall out. At first it was dropping about 10 - 15 mph, but then it was quickly dropping 30 - 40 mph. I was able to make it into the right most lane, but a check engine light and service transmission light appeared on my dashboard while my engine stalled out completely. I had to restart my car a few times, but after a few restarts the notifications disappeared. Every time the engine stalled out, I would lose the use of my gas and brake pedals. The electronics were still working, but driving was non-responsive. I was able to safely nurse my car into the nearest city and eventually get towed to the nearest Jeep dealership. The dealership was able to look at the Jeep the next day (June 29th) and did some computer diagnostics and told me that the Jeep was good to go. I made it about 180 miles and had just gotten back onto I-70 in colorado when the issue returned. Engine stalled out, dropped speed to zero mph and pedals became unresponsive. I had to wait several hours to be towed to aurora, CO to a Jeep dealership (larry h miller Jeep). My Jeep was with larry h miller from June 29th to July 3rd. They told me that they drove it several hundred miles, despite my odometer not matching their information, and told me that there was no issue with my Jeep. I made it 10 miles from the dealer before the stalling issue returned. This almost caused a crash on a congested narrow highway in denver, CO. When I called the dealer, they told me they couldn't help and to see another dealer. I was towed to a third dealer, who was also not able to find any issue.

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.

My 2018 Jeep Renegade engine dies spontaneously. Check engine light does not come on. It starts back up right away but when placed in gear it dies. The dealership will look at it for a 4th time tomorrow morning 08/14/2019 at 9am. So far the problem has not been resolved. There is a recall list for certain VIN number Jeep Renegade models but my VIN isn't on the list. Engine shouldn't die or stall on a brand new vehicle with less than 20,000 miles. First time it dies was 5,031 miles, then 13,541 miles, then 19063 miles.

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.

The check engine light came on when driving, when checked it stated it was thermostat is not working on a 2016 car.

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.

While driving at 36120 miles I noticed a burning smell inside my passenger cabin. Shortly thereafter I noticed the engine temperature gauge went to its hottest reading and my check engine light came on. After pulling over and turning the vehicle off I opened the hood to the engine compartment and noticed that although the engine appeared to be extraordinarily hot, the electric fan was not operating. I then went into my house and did some online research and discovered that it quite possibly was a defective electric engine fan that was prone to failing due to no proper heat shield. This had been noted by many owners of the same vehicle. I made arrangements to have the vehicle brought to my Jeep dealer who then confirm that this was indeed the case.

Thermostat check engine light is on and need replacing and car has less than 54000 miles on it. . While car was in motion.

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.

I was driving roughly 15 miles per hour when my car made a ratteling noise. I stopped and could not see anything physically wrong with the engine. With in 5-10 minutes I could smell burning coming from my engine. My engine began smoking. My coolant level had dropped. I was luckily able to refill the coolant and make it back to town. The next morning my coolant had dropped again. I refilled it then smoke came from the engine again with a check engine light a 1/2 block away from my starting location. The coolant fan system needs to be replaced. The vehicle only has 36,000 miles on it. After much research I have learned this is a well know issue with this type of vehicle. So well known the parts have been on back order but the manufacturer has not recalled the vehicle. How quickly the engine smokes and faulters is a safety hazzard. The vehicle quickly stops working due to this issue potentially stranding passengers on highways or in areas unaccessible by help because it is an offroad vehicle.

Driving on interstate when Jeep Renegade unexpectedly started to cut off. It felt like it was shaking and shuddering. Got off at exit and vehicle continued to act like it was going to cut off, especially when stopped at a light or stop sign or when making a turn after stopping. Made it home. Turned it off and then back on. Check engine light on. There was no advanced warning lights on the dashboard prior to the Jeep unexpectantly slowing down. There was no burning smell. I had the vehicle towed on Monday, August 20, 2018 to Jeep dealer in lewisburg, wv. They say it could be a week before they are able to look at it and I am without a vehicle. I wanted it taken to a virginia dealer who could look at it sooner but roadside assistance said the wv dealer was closer.

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.

Ongoing issue, but today I got in my Jeep and once again my vehicle is showing the transmission and check engine lights, when I attempt to put it in gear it goes out of gear and into neutral. . On top of that I've been having issues where the power steering light will come on while I'm driving. Making it difficult to turn/ maintain vehicle control. I experienced problems such as the car �jumping hard into gear� as my husband puts it; along with it taking off really fast, it's also been sounding really loud and shaking when it reaches speeds upwards of 65 and refusing to change gears from time to time. . . However we have experienced a number of instances where the Jeep has changed its own gears starting only a few months after purchasing causing it to move into the porch and cause some cosmetic damage, this was our first recording of the issue. We took it in and they �updated the cpu� and it worked ok for a few weeks but has continually returned to having these faults and has only began to worsen. . Since then we've had to regularly go in for �updates� regarding the same issues and miscellaneous issues such as power locks/power windows not responding and the transmission overheating. . Just last year, literally 1 year and 1 day ago while getting on the interstate the car began to start its �death wobble� and drivers rear axel snapped, causing the front to follow. . My kids were in the car with me and while waiting 2 months to have fixed and paying the deductible for something that was Jeeps fault, here we are again having the same problems. . I have found several instances of others experiencing these issues and not only fear for my children's life�s, but also fear for the safety of others on the road. Can we fix these issues, or at least supply me with a viable vehicle??.

This vehicle had a check engine light come on while driving in a neighborhood at low speeds and the etc light come on, when this happened the vehicle immediately became sluggish and switched to manual mode for gears. This is very unsafe if driving at highway speeds because the vehicle slows down on you with no warning. Also the airbag lights have come on and the thermostat housing needs replacing so they ask you to watch your thermostat to make sure it doesn't overheat since the part is on backorder for months. Check engine light constantly coming on for computer updates definitely not safe.
