Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Jeep Renegade - part 2

Engine stalled in much the same way as numerous other owners are describing on this forum. It happened on the freeway at 70mph in cruise control. Engine instantly killed, no check engine light, dealership ran codes and found no errors. Very dangerous. Can stellantis please diagnose this and get a recall. I don't trust this car and stopped driving it.

Just had the engine replaced for the oil consumption done in 2022. They did not replace the motor mounts at that point. But now they are saying those are leaking and my fuel pump has also gone out.

No oil change light, no engine light. Excessive oil consumption engine metal to metal brakes.

I purchased in 2015 (Jeep Renegade). The dealership promised a “lifetime warranty” for the duration of my ownership, but despite repeated service visits over the past 10 years for persistent electrical problems, they have refused to honor this warranty. It has come to my recent attention that the two major reasons Jeep has stopped making the Renegade was due to electrical and engine issues. Both issues with my car never told to me, and games are being played. Key points: I have complete documentation: purchase receipts, service records, text messages, and emails confirming the warranty and the repeated service attempts. The dealership now claims they have no record of my purchase. I was assured by a service representative that the issues were covered under warranty so I brought it there time and time again. The last time I brought it in the representative was working on it under warranty, but the representative was later terminated while still working to resolve the problem. These service manager, keri has played games to avoid repairs and has even tried to tell me that I didnt buy my car there when I have proof I did. She said my receipts mean nothing and aren't proof. Its been a non stop headache for almost 10 years when all they had to do was be honest from the beginning. This car has had these problems on and off since 2017 and caused the dealer to have to replace the engine due to this parasitic draw. Each time pretending to fix it and not doing so. These issues have caused significant inconvenience, expenses, and emotional stress over a decade. I would like to explore: enforcing the lifetime warranty and having the electrical issues properly fixed free of charge pursuing remedies under tennessee’s consumer protection laws for unfair or deceptive trade practices. Discussing compensation for damages resulting from the dealership’s repeated failures to repair the vehicle. I am fully prepared to provide all documentation, a detailed timeline of events.

The engine cooling fan failed. The vehicle was repaired by firestone, and we have the old parts in case an inspection is needed. This failure put myself and others at risk because had I not been close to home when the engine light came on, the engine would have overheated. My daily commute is over 50 miles, and this could have caused an accident if it had happened on the highway. The problem was confirmed by a service center (firestone). The entire fan assembly needed to be replaced since the bracket was also broken. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. The check engine light first came on while I was driving home from the store on 5/31/25. Then, the a/c stopped cooling. I stopped by advance auto parts store, and they checked the engine code (p0481) and advised me to purchase a fuse. When I arrived home and checked under the hood, I found that there was indeed a blown fuse. After replacing the fuse, I noticed that the fan was shaking and rattling. I then took the vehicle to the local firestone center and they diagnosed the problem. I searched online to see if other Renegade owners had reported problems with the engine cooling fan and found that there was a recall (recall number: v54 - engine cooling fan) for 2015 - 2017 Jeep Renegades for this same issue. However, it seems that my vehicle was not included in the recall. I am requesting that my vehicle be included in the recall so I can be reimbursed for the $1,053 that I spent on this repair.

Complaint summary: I brought my 2015 Jeep Renegade trailhawk (VIN: [xxx] ) to autonation cdjr roseville on may 17, 2025, for the u90 emissions recall. The catalytic converter was replaced, and the pcm software was updated. However, the u0402 diagnostic trouble code (implausible data received from tcm) remains stored. This code has been persistent and prevents the vehicle from passing California emissions, which is required for my registration as the car was transferred from out-of-state. The service advisor initially stated that the tcm was updated, but later corrected himself and admitted the tcm already had the latest version and was not reprogrammed. I have not been given written confirmation that the tcm software or wiring was verified or addressed. I am concerned the dealership is refusing to properly resolve this under recall and is instead recommending a full transmission replacement without supporting mechanical codes or verifying the emissions system software/communication is compliant. I’m requesting fca’s assistance, and the bar in California to enforce the complete and proper execution of the u90 recall and resolution of the u0402 code under recall scope. Please help ensure the vehicle is brought into emissions compliance. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Vehicle was returning diagnostic code p0653 and p2138 it was taken to the dealership for servicing on 04/26/2025. Pedal position sensor was identified as the issue. Part was on national backorder for several weeks. And issue was repaired on 05/22/25. Vehicle was driven less than 100 miles and presented with the same issue on 06/26/2025 and was returned to the dealership for servicing. Service department reset the code and drove the vehicle for less than 100 miles, and indicated they could not reproduce the problem. Car was left at the dealership for a week for additional diagnostic. Car was picked up on 07/12/2025 from the dealership and on 07/15/2025 car was returned for third time to repair the issue with the same codes. A case was opened with stellantis. At this poin car is still being repaired for the same issue. When issue occurs car goes into limp mode, and runs at 50% throttle, and has on occasion completely lost power sometimes causing some safety concerns. Vehicle was able to drive in limp mode first two times, third time required towing to the dealership.

My car continues to shut off while you're driving down the road. Then it won't start for a little bit!.

Driving on the highway car was starting to loose speed, lights on dash starting to flash I was able to pull off on the side of the road, car stalled and steering wheel locked up. After several minutes it turned on and drove away fine. This is not the first time this has happened. Did oil consumption test several times and stated I’m in the safe zone. This is a severe safety issue but no recalls for my VIN. I saw lots of cars have this same issue with engine stalling.

I have a u90 recall on my vehicle. I have contacted Jeep dealerships and the Jeep corp regarding this issue. I have been told that the parts are on back order and it will be months possibly a year to complete this recall. This is my daily driver and dmv won’t re register the vehicle without the recall being repaired. This is unacceptable. This is my daily driver and has passed smog no issues.

I just bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade 4 month ago carmax, so far 6 times, the engine. Just shuts off, last time my wife going on the freeway. I'm afraid that someone may get killed. Is they anything you can do to help is there a recall. We bought extended warrenty. Or is the car a lemon.

On 3 occasions, in the past three weeks, the vehicle has lost power while in motion and display states “shift to park”. Restarting vehicle is required. This occurs while in motion and could be dangerous for driver and passenger. Car repair unable to diagnose issue. Reported numerous codes concerning “communication errors”.

The automobile will shut off during driving. On three separate occasions while driving the automobile has lost all drivability. The first occasion I was leaving work (01/02/2025) and as I went to accelerate on to the road from a dead stop, the engine shut off. I had to place the car back in park and depress the brake to start the engine again (by depressing the start engine button). The second occasion happened as I was entering the expressway (01/07/2025). I was turning off the main road onto the onramp of the expressway when the engine shut off again. This time I was accelerating up to around 40 mph when the engine shut off. Luckily, I was able to coast to a stop in the emergency lane. The steering locked up due to the engine shut down so I was not able to restart the car until putting it back in park to start the whole start sequence. The third occasion happened today (01/16/2025) as I was leaving school. I was leaving the parking lot when I went to accelerate from a stop the engine shut off again.

Complaint #11629826. I also have had safety issues with my 2016 Jeep Renegade. Engine shuts down while driving flashes check engine signs and has to be put in park to be restarted. Currently, engine stops while driving and " emergency brake goes on " I have to restart Jeep and drive with emergency brake on because it won't go off even though I have not set the brake on. This is happening frequently and almost was hit on the highway due to Jeep engine stopping while I was driving. I have had it in for service several times and paid for software/connection replacements etc. Problem still exists and very dangerous. Jeep dealership unsure how to fix the problem. Numerous dates of occurrence within the last 2 months-.

My 2017 Jeep Renegade is at a dealership for the third time. When I am accelerating at around 29 mph, there is a sudden jerk. It also occurs around 53 mph. It startles me every time this event occurs. Each time, I pay a deductible and the problem isn't fixed. Retirement isn't conducive to $500 repair bills. Can you help? this is definitely a problem with this model and needs to be rectified.

Summary of ongoing issues with shaver automotive & stellantis regarding w80 recall -initial reporting (December 2018): at 35,104 miles, I first reported engine stalling, performance issues, and excessive oil consumption to shaver automotive. -recall notification & incomplete testing (January 2024): I received a recall letter in January 2024 for the w80 oil consumption test. Shaver automotive performed the first part of the test but instructed me to return for part 2—which they subsequently delayed. -delays & failed recall test (July 2024–January 2025): from July to December 2024, shaver ignored multiple requests to schedule the second test. In January 2025, part 2 of the test was finally conducted. W80 recall test failed, prompting a promise of a new engine installation by mid-to-late March 2025. -dealership fraud & negligence (March–June 2025): from March to June 2025, shaver: -ignored all follow-up requests for updates. -falsified service records, including a fabricated appointment on 3/26/25 while I was out of town. -falsified mileage on my Jeep at said fabricated appointment. -closed my stellantis case without notification, obstructing resolution. -stellantis’ failure to intervene (2024–2025): despite three active case numbers (#93024832, #93352240, #93372613), stellantis repeatedly directed me back to shaver automotive, refusing to escalate or resolve the issue. -legal & ethical violations: shaver’s misconduct, mileage tampering, falsified documents, and deliberate delays, has left me with an unsafe vehicle for over 18 months, violating: -consumer protection laws (e. G. , magnuson-moss warranty act). -recall compliance obligations under NHTSA guidelines. Stellantis’ negligence in overseeing its dealership network exacerbated the harm.

Catalytic converter. Part was recalled on the same engine but cuts off at 2016, however, my 2017 has the exact same engine and exact same issue as the recall issued to prior years. The problem has been confirmed by a dealership and mechanic. I have had a check engine light on to notify me of this error.

Engine continuously leaks oil. Oil is all over under carriage. This has been a recurring problem that the dealer has tried to fix. Oil is all over our garage floor. If we do not monitor the oil level it could run out of oil. This vehicle is one year old and has had one recall and five attempts to fix an oil leak.

Burning thru oil, there are no leaks. I just bought the vehicle couple weeks ago.

Vehicle stopped dead went into park. All lights came on of temperature control throttle without any warning of check engine prior to I was in busy traffic and having to get towed to the dealership now the dealership doesn’t know what’s wrong with it and I’m without a vehicle.

All motor mounts poorly manufactured too light. Need recalled as its a known problem.

On 11/28/2024 my 2029 Jeep Renegade multi air actuator failed we had just finished our drive when it failed. It spit oil everywhere and melted spark plug caps and cracked the value covers. We waited 4 months to get the part as it was on back order with thousands and we are still waiting on the value covers to this day. I pay payments monthly on a car I cannot drive and waiting on the parts because they are back ordered. I have spent thousands of dollars on parts and would hope thus would be a recall. If we were actively driving when it failed my family and I. Could have been badly injured.

The first generation with the 1. 4l turbo engine. Had two air lines coming off of the air filter container. They are solid and break when the dealer does the courtesy check during oil changes. It is a common problem showing online and the dealers do not take responsibility for it.

While driving the car, the wheel locked and we lost acceleration, and a warning light for the electric engine throttle came on. The car is undriveable, and we are extremely lucky that we were not in an accident. We suspect that the w79 recall for other Jeeps is implicated for our car.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, there were severe misfires in the engine which could be associated with the vehicle jerking, and then jolting forward while going uphill. The check engine warning light had been illuminated for almost a year and the oil light was frequently illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing an excessive oil consumption. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with ignition cylinder compression failure, and the engine consuming an excessive amount of oil. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired because the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 119,747.

All motor engine mounts and transmission mounts notoriously gone bad. . . . Poorly manufactured. Should be recalled to be replaced on all these vehicles.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 38,000.

While driving, my radiator cooling fan malfunctioned and a piece broke off. The fan now does not work properly to cool my radiator and the car shakes when I turn on the ac or when I’m at idle.

Vehicle constantly overheats and the cooling fans go out. I work for a company that has 30 Jeep Renegades ranging from year 2020 to 2023. They all have this issue. Leaking coolant, ac going out, cooling fan needing replacement, not starting, stalling, overheating, etc. I can give all VIN numbers if necessary.

I bough this car in February with no knowledge of the prior lawsuit on these cars randomly stalling. The past month- my car has stalled multiple times, in the middle of the road and I lose all control. It is such a safety hazard because people will literally almost hit me. I have to hurry up and turn on the flashers and pull over and restart and try again. There is no warnings for this and once it stalls- the steering wheel locks as well! I thought it was bad gas but after doing all kinds of research , there was 2 previous recalls on this car for the same issue! if it was fixed, why is it still doing this? now I’m in a contract for this car and can’t afford to take a hit to my credit but it literally scares me to drive it! check engine light initially came on but since has disappeared. I have recorded my car doing this and honestly have just let it sit because I cannot afford a mechanical bill right now.

I have a 2023 Renegade 4x4. There are several current operating issues and a few which cause an extreme safety hazard: service forward collision warning light is on says brake lights out says left turn signal is out parking light out driver seatbelt light passenger seatbelt light push to start button - stop/start unavailable parking brake airbag light car turned off when foot idle and parking brake activated car jolts when foot is taken off of accelerator pedal at 45+mph car enters into forward collision prevention mode with there is not a vehicle in front. If the vehicle believes the seatbelts are not worn and there are issues with the airbag sensors then there is an extreme safety issue in the event of a collision.
