1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2015 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 01/28/2021

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.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2018 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 08/12/2020

Has anyone had any issues with their Jeep just stalling? and have you figured out what caused it? 2018 regenade first time it happened was about 2 years ago. 8 months after I got it brand new. I was driving through atlanta and it just shut off. It came right back on. I drove someplace right off the exit and let it sit for an hour and checked the oil and it was fine. Still had about 300 miles until the recommended change. I drove the remaining 5 hours home without issue. Tonight I was sitting at a traffic light and it started sputtering. I tried moving forward and nothing. Tried turning it off and back on. Nothing. My radio and ac were both still on. I was able to coast onto the side road (thankfully for a small decline) and pushed the off button again. When I tried turning it back on everything was locked up. Couldn't push the break peddle down and the drive light was flashing on the shifter. I let it sit another 30 seconds and it turned back on fine. I have over 2000 miles before the recommended oil change and a quarter tank of gas. Also not sure if it is related but my husband's key fob will randomly not work. Today he got in my car with his keys and it wouldn't start until he pressed the fob to the start button then a light came on saying low oil pressure and it quickly went away. That light did not come on before or after that incident.

3 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2017 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 06/16/2020

When I started my Jeep this morning it started shaking really bad and the service engine light came on. The shaking stop so I chanced it to work. It felt like it was losing power and would rattle a little. Anytime I made a turn it felt like the Jeeps tires were sliding. It's taking a lot longer to pick up speed and seems to be forcing itself into gear. In the last few days though my lights have been flickering while driving and even the radio went out for a few hours. The outlets (old cigarette lighter outlets ) stop working too. Don't know if it's related to the rest but it did oddly start in the same time frame.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2018 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 08/22/2019

I have had car about two months and it keeps stalling on me and I got almost into an accident because it stalled on a busy street and traffic was coming . Jim click Chrysler into sun arizona they say it's the fuel pump but other things are going on with the car to like the radio and it keeps turning off and the screen for the back up camera turns off on its own so I think there's more going on that car and I'm disappointed in Jeep for making a car that could cause an accident I have to think of the safety of my kids.

Failure Date: 02/19/2019

The trunk pop open if you have anything to close to it. After starting the car then driving the car will stall in the middle of the road. You have to put the car in park. And give it a few mins. Then try to restart the car. Then you can go. If you hit the radio buttons to fast it will turn the volume all the way up and will be stuck there till you turn off the car and reset the radio.

6 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2017 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 11/22/2018

Body control module was replaced at 5000 miles. Two weeks after the bcm replacement, the radio system froze twice in one week. Two weeks later, oil pressure light came on then went off immediately after. At 6100 miles, car stalled at around 35mph, warning lights stated that the vehicle must be stopped in order to switch gears. The car was in drive and is an automatic. After this warning, the engine shut off, engine light came on as well as the etc light. Turned the vehicle off, then restarted several times, with the same result. Engine would not turn over, then after about 15 seconds, would turn on with the same warning lights. Was able to restart and drive about 100 ft, engine sputtering and low power, could not get enough speed before stalling again. After restarting again, warning lights did not come on and vehicle drove almost normally for several miles at low rpm, some hesitation when accelerating.

7 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2017 Jeep Renegade

Failure Date: 07/24/2018

I have taken my car to the dealer several times because while driving the car will jerk really hard. This happens when I come to a complete stop, when I slow down and pick up the speed or just driving normal. The dealer said it had to imitate the problem so he can know what to fix. So it did imitate the jerk so he wanted to drive it hisself cause he said the way I was driving caused the car to jerk. I told him I had this car 2 years and it has never done that. So it can't be the way I'm driving. I've been driving the same the whole while I've had the vehicle. They have gave the car back to me and it's doing the same thing even worse. . It's frustrating cause they keep saying that it's not doing it. I will never by another car from this dealership again. This is the second vehicle that I have purchased from them with a bad engine and transmission. No help from the dealer just a lemon of a car. The radio kept going blank. They said they fixed that. I got it back it did it again plus the jerking. I've been to them3 timesalready still having the same problem. 😡never will purchase a Dodge Jeep of. O kind again.

Radio power/adjust on own. Multiple/random. Headlights cut out driving in the dark. Both sides effected. Fog lights stay on. Possible link to turning steering wheel, with or without use of turn signal-effect on both headlights simultaneously. Turn signals not working intermittently (neither for lane change or turning, left or right. -multiple occurrences). Tail lights- while backing into driveway one night I realized I had no lights in the back including reverse lights (only acknowledged this problem once by the reflection of my car in my husbands) all lighting issues occurred with lights turned to auto and vehicle in motion. Emergency brake self engaged while in motion. After switching gears and before hitting gas and other times while driving at lower speeds. A message along the lines of-vehicle not on, shift to park and press run/stop button-has shown but only after turning off the vehicle does it show that the parking brake has engaged-multiple occurrences. Passenger seatbelt sensor illuminates at random, nothing on seat (concerned for malfunction in the event of an accident) -have to press the stop/start button several times for the car to turn on (no response in the form of sounds or lights with each attempt prior to the one that starts the vehicle. -remote start:vehicle turns on > try to enter vehicle moments later--car will turn off with touch of handles or press to unlock button-"remote start disabled" -lift gate closed and audibly latched>lights flash, latch releases, door opens itself-may happen 1 or 30 times. Check engine: thermostat replaced, key fob loses connection: warning "fob has left vehicle" while actually in cup holder, engages parking brake-only way to get rid of message/disengage brake is to power off/on. Can drive with no keys in part of transmission repaired, radio replaced 2 times, transmission sticks/slams multiple other issues.
