Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Jeep Renegade - part 2

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.

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.

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.

Service air bag light has been on about 2 weeks. Tried to unlock car with key fob today. 8/6/2024. Wouldn't work so I replaced the fob battery. Nothing will work on car now. Won't start, can't manually unlock back doors. Couldn't get it in neutral to get on flatbed tow truck. Dealership said it'll be at least 2days before they can look at it. Said there's a recall but no remedy/ parts to be able to fix. Now I have no transportation. And they have no loner car to give me. Worked fine yesterday . Been parked in my driveway.

Was driving with cruise CO trip on going about 70 mph. On an interstate. All of a sudden I saw my dash all go out and was pushing down on my accelerator and had no power and car was slowing down. Next it came back on and the the steering wheel light with exclamation showed up. Today 2 days later driving and it states service 4wd and the. When at a stop light it again did the same thing and this time shut down. This is a high priority in my mind I can’t allow younger drivers to drive. I see other complaints like this too. My spouse also observed the first time. Could of cause fatalities and or severe harm.

On 7/26/2024 I was driving my 2017 Jeep Renegade 1. 4l eastbound on I-70 going ~65mph. My dash had zero warning lamps or messages and there were no other symptoms of any problem yet suddenly at mile marker 188 my engine had no power, abundant smoke exited my tailpipe and engine, and I was forced to immediately pull over into a shallow construction zone with heavy interstate traffic whizzing past us. I turned my vehicle off and just turned the power back on for any information. Only then did the check engine light illuminate. I searched through my dash indicators and saw that there was simply no reading for oil temperature. I have immaculate maintenance records since the day I purchased my vehicle in 2019 including regular full synthetic oil and filter changes (on average 2,989 miles for years). I had two multi-point vehicle inspections at my original dealer (my due diligence maintenance before my extended warranty expired) around 2,000 miles, an oil change 1,038 miles, and a cooling system pressure test at 1,029 miles before this incident occurred. I had two independent, certified mechanic companies diagnose and confirm my vehicle condition: cylinder 1 had no compression with a crack in the piston. My vast research on Jeep Renegades with 1. 4l and 2. 4l engines validates all my issues. I believe this catastrophic engine failure at a shocking odometer reading of 61,881 is due to a defect and it puts me and others at major safety risk. This was my second financially offensive event as my first involved having to replace my clutch system at mile 45,057 for ~$4,500 despite having owned and properly operated other manuals with no issue for years. In addition to the cost of maintenance, multiple expensive repairs, numerous towing events, mechanic diagnostics, renting cars when this Jeep failed me, I am now looking at a $10,000 engine fix for a historically unreliable vehicle. (records and vehicle inspection available upon request).

When attempting to accelerate the vehicle hesitates for several seconds and does not move then lurches forward. It leaves me with no power in the middle of the road or when crossing a highway. It is intermittent but very dangerous. It happens from a stand still and while slowing down and then accelerating. This is a common issue in many Jeep Renegade forums and aftermarket parts are readily available to fix this issue. Why can't Jeep? the aftermarket part was recommended by multiple Jeep Renegade owners as it does adust the tuning and gas pedal response. Why can't Jeep fix this wide spread serious safety issue? how many accidents have happened because of this extreme power turbo lag? the lag is extreme. Far beyond the typical turbo lag. It happens daily.

1st issue was the a/c unit which mechanic said was a factory defective part. Replaced under warranty & now is not working again. 2nd issue is coolant & flushing system. Replaced las year & mechanic said it was a factory defective part. This was 2 different mechanics. I just had my car overheat on me again nearly a year later with sludge in the tank again. I am payong wayyyyy too much money for this to be on me again! I need repairs done at your cost and a car to drive.

Engine is the big problem. When I drive the engine randomly shuts off without any warning. I’ve been on the freeway when it shuts down and I don’t have enough time to get over to safety. And I fear for my life every time it happens. It’s a safety hazard for others around me as well because my car stops without warning and others are going full speed around me. We have taken it do the dealership, service center, auto shops and no one has an answer or solution for us. We took it to the Jeep service center and they didn’t know what was going on. Other than that we haven’t taken it to a manufacturer. There were so symptoms or warnings before this was happening.

My vehicle is experiencing the same exact engine issue that a technical bulletin has been issued for. The bulletin is for affected vehicle manufactured after 2021 which would qualify for warranty reimbursement. My vehicle is a 2019 with 54k miles on it. The problem started at appx 48k miles 4 months ago. The bulletin number is TSB 09-006-23 (low oil pressure) when the check engine light turns on the car will drive normal then at times the Jeep will not go over 3300 rpms causing a lack of power to accelerate. I have experienced situations where I cannot accelerate while driving or accelerate from a stop while trying to merge on to a highway. The bulletin is issued for a large repair. Please review this failure of parts to trace back to the appropriate years affected. This could result in a vehicle crash.

Engine stalled (lost power) while driving on the interstate during rush hour traffic. I had to pull into emergency lane. This happened 3 times within an hour or so. We almost wrecked the car. Very scary and dangerous situation. I checked and there are no recalls with my VIN number. I’m not sure what to do now.

Sudden stop entrance to an exit ramp. The engine stalled and started leaking the fluid caused some and flames - fire department had to be called. . Had to replace the engine for approx. $6600 we are still waiting on parts for the seat belts this has been over a year with Jeep. The parts are backordered. The seatbelts come undone constantly on both the driver and passenger sides. Parts are $330 and labor is approx. $400 total $730. There are 90000 Jeep wranglers with this same issues but they were recalled. We can't even get the parts it's been over a year. Axle on left side of Jeep was broke -took Jeep to have serviced for oil and tire rotation. Service person found that the axel was broke. Cost $1500 service man stated the axel was like a straw.

My grandfather has own he Renegade since it came out in 2017. It has had nothing but issues most of which as his granddaughter I had fixed. But the last at least year I've had his vehicle illuminate a check engine light. Especially in very wet weather, cold or hot weather. If it's a normal 65-degree days for a few days, it will go off. It's a very intermittent light. That you have to catch. Taken to autozone, dealership, etc. It's a p0420 code which is failed catalytic converter. Called and spoke to stellantis, mopar customer service multiple times. It's not an issue they refuse to acknowledge. Also pricing for a catalytic converter isn't possible. Because the only available ones are on back order hard.

Engine malfunction with unpredictable times of hard shift jolting. It's a concern while driving and frightened when it happens. Not sure if this could get worse and could be a safety risk. Took to a dealer. Did not act up when they checked it. It has to be driven all the time to catch when it decides to act up. Happens between 2 to 3 and down from 4th to 3rd gear. No engine light indicates a problem. When I had other things fixed, I had mechanic to check it out. Invoice mentioned what was fixed but nothing stating about them running a test on what I have additionally been experiencing with the jolt as it shifts since it didn't do it at the time. Had transmission flushed hoping it would help but still does it.

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing difficulty starting. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle shuddered, lurched, and hesitated to respond while the rpms were significantly high. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving from a complete stop. Additionally, they stated that while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle made an abnormal sound and hesitated to respond, causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the engine was replaced; however, the failure persisted. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. The contact stated that she had noticed oil leaking onto the ground while driving and while parked. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, time Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of portland(633 ne 12th Ave, portland, or 97232), where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

The turbocharger went out at 75k. Had it replaced just after the #2 cylinder went bad. Vehicle is unable to get to highway speeds and is very slow to accelerate. It is not due for an oil change for another 5k miles.

P1db7 check engine light code. Almost every other new Jeep seems to have this issue and just reading about it online the problem is so bad one person had a brand new car and on the drive home from Jeep dealer got a check engine light but that’s only because it was new under warranty.

When it is raining, the vehicle shuts down and service warning lights come on. The service engine, service transmission, service hill assist, service parking break lights come on. The vehicle will start, but won't go into drive and no fuel flows into the engine to give enough power to move. After about 30 minutes, the vehicle might run, but it will shift very hard and the transmission won't fully engage. After 45 minutes, all the warning lights go off, except for the check engine light, and the car is driveable. This only happens in the rain or after a car wash.

Was sitting in a drive through and car started smoking. It stopped after I shut everything down. Then another time it overheated after driving for seven minutes had to stop. Air conditioning doesn’t work . Engine light on. Just bought from dealer with 20000 miles like a lemon. So not right.

My car shutdowns while running unexpectedly. It has happened more than once while I’m in the middle of the street it’s scary . Also I keep putting oil constantly way before the due date it’s consuming lots of oil .

This vehicle is constantly burning through oil between oil changes. It has stopped several times while driving only to find out it has no oil. It has been on the w80 recall list for 2 years and the dealerships in my area just say the parts are on allocation. I literally have to drive with oil in the car to refill it on the side of the road. I just got another recall notification from Jeep for u90 and they don't have parts to fix that either. I can't get it fixed. I can't sell it and I can't afford to keep it on the road. The low oil warning light does not come on.

The vehicle has stopped running while driving. It turns off and the gas gauge will show e (there is a full tank) and the battery will die- it is brand new and it was tested when this happened. The codes are saying it’s the pcm- it hasn’t ran properly without a jump in months. And it will idol super high, over heat and scare everyone in the car. Had it towed and checked again. And everything was fine. (note that the entire engine was replaced the year I got it by my dealership for the recall on the engine going through all oil in less than a month) I know I am not the only person who had had this issue with this specific vehicle. I’m still paying on it!! I have children to think about. And at 700+$ payment monthly I shouldn’t have this issue. This vehicle has been nothing but trouble and the dealership gives me a hard time when I’ve called for help with it. The warranty ran up that I paid extra for. Isn’t that ironic.

Engine has started to consume large quantities of oil. Had oil changed 1 month ago and have had to add over 2 quarts of oil for less than 1000 miles of driving.
