2017 Jeep Renegade

MY 2017 RENEGADE JEEP IS STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, OR AS I ACCELERATE TO LEAVE A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A 18 WHEELER TRUCK 2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE THE JEEP STALLED AND I COULD NOT MOVE OUT OF THE TRUCK'S WAY. MY JEEP ALSO ACCELERATES, OR LOSES POWER. IT IS RATTLING SINCE 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND I AM AFRAID I MAY HAVE A FIRE. I HAVE ALERTED RUSSELL WESTBROOK JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT 9/10/2017. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE 3/01/2019. *JS

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN TURNING. AT APPROXIMATELY 23,000 MILES OCTOBER 2018, DASH MESSAGE BRIEFLY ILLUMINATED "CHECK ENGINE OIL" ONLY ONE TIME (THEN TURN OFF) WHEN IN A SHARP TURN (LEFT AND RIGHT DIRECTIONS). THIS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE 4TH TIME, THE ENGINE COMPLETE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. I WAS LEAVING MY WORK PARKING LOT AND DECIDED TO DRIVE TOWARD THE DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE TURNED ON WITHOUT HESITATION AND NO WARNING ON DASH. 1/10TH MILE FROM WORK, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN IN A TURN, ALMOST CAUSING A REAR-END COLLISION. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND CALLED THE PURCHASING DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN AND ASKED IF I CAN DRIVE TO THEM. I EXPLAINED THE ONLY ISSUE WAS THIS AND IT WAS TIME TO CHANGE OI. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT CHANGING THE OIL WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT DID. IT IS NOW MATCH 2019 AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT SHUT OFF SINCE OCTOBER. I AM NOT THRILLED ABOUT THIS "SO CALLED" SAFETY FEATURE. SAVE THE ENGINE BY SHUTTING OFF.... BUT PUT PASSENGERS IN DANGER. NOT HAPPY - ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 3.

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.

AT APPROXIMATELY 31,500 MILES TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A LOUD CLUNK SOUND AND JARS THE VEHICLE. SO LOUD AND HARD IT STARTLES THE PASSENGERS. I BELIEVE IT IS HAPPENING BETWEEN 20-30 MPH AND WHEN I REMOVE ACCELERATOR AND BEGIN TO COAST. IT SEEMS TO BE WHEN I COAST DOWNHILL. NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAY ON THE DASH. SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS. POSSIBLY HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES BEFORE TAKING TO DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME. TOOK VEHICLE TO PURCHASING DEALERSHIP MARCH 2019. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING THE SAME DAY I PICKED UP. HAS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN 2 DAYS. RESCHEDULED WITH PURCHASING DEALERSHIP 2ND ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER - PURCHASED APRIL 2017. ONE DRIVER. ISSUE IS NEW AND STARTED AT APPROX 31,500 MILES IN MARCH 2019.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP WITH 17MILES ON IT. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I HAVE HAD MANY REACURRING PROBLEMS. 1ST AROUND THE 8000 MILE MARK MY JEEP STARTED SKIPPING GEARS LIKE WHEN YOU SHIFT A OLD TEN SPEED BIKE. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP IT TOOK A WEEK OR SO AND GOT IT BACK THE HAD TO REPROGRAM THE SHIFTING MODULE?? THEN 2ND AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IT WOULD JUST LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF, NOT FUN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT DID THIS. A FEW DAY LATER I WAS CROSSING A INTERSECTION AND IT DID IT AGAIN. AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK. THIS WAS AT ABOUT 30000 MILES. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I HAD A OIL PROBLEM. AND THAT IS WHY. THEY REPLACED TOP END OF MY ENGINE?? WELL WHAT ABOUT THE BOTTOM? NOW I'M AT 50000 AND ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAD ARE HAPPENING AGAIN IT IS BUCKING WHEN SHIFTING. RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF. I'M FEED UP. AND MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY ANY MORE. AS OF NOW I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LARGE CAR PAYMENT ON A CAR THAT IS TWO YEARS OLD THAT I DON'T THINK IS GOING TO LAST AS LONG AND MY PAYMENTS. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY DAUGHTER AROUND IN IT.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW 0 MILES SINCE THE FIRST MONTH, THIS AUTOMOBILE HAS HAD SERVICE AFTER SERVICE, THE FIRST TWO MONTHS LIGHTER WOULDN'T WORK, NEXT MONTH DEALERSHIP HAD CAR FOR OVER A WEEK WOULD NOT START AT ALL= NEW ELECTRICAL PANEL, A FEW MONTHS LATER SEAT BELTS WONT LOCK ON BACK SEAT, NEXT,HOOD WONT OPEN, THEN, NEEDED NEW LATCH, NOW THE CAR IS 16 MONTHS OLD NOW HESITATES TO DRIVE, WHO CAN GO THOUGHT THIS WITH A CAR THAT IS FINANCED THOUGHT CHRYSLER .I'M AT THE POINT I MAY JUST LET THEM HAVE IT, IM TIRED OF THE FOOLISHNESS.

MY RENEGADE HAS REPEATEDLY STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. UNFORTUNATELY THIS LAST TIME RESULTED IN A MINOR ACCIDENT. THE JEEP HAS LESS 16K MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOTIFIED FCA BUT UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED I HAVE NO VEHICLE.*DT CONSUMER STATED HE HAD A VEHICLE CONTROL ISSUE WHILE MAKING A TURN ENGINE STALLED AND HIT A GUARDRAIL. VEHICLE HAD STALLED TWICE PREVIOUSLY AND 8 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. CONSUMER STATED MANUFACTURE AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 35 MPH. WHEN THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WITH NORMANDIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (900 CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY AUTO MALL, SAN JOSE, CA 95136, (408) 266-9500). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,602.

ON 4 OCCASIONS NOW SINCE OWNING MY JEEP RENEGADE THE VEHICLE WILL JERK, CHECK ENHINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE VEHICLE WILL LOCK IN 3RD GEAR. I TRY TO SWITCH TO MANUAL SHIFT AND WILL NOT SHIFT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH 50 MILES, AND NOW OVER 28,000 MILES WITH REOCCURRING PROBLEMS. ON INSTANCE THE VEHICLE LIGHT WARNING COMES ON INDICATING ALL OF THE LIGHTS ARE OUT IN THE VEHICLE, AND THE LIGHT BUILD INDICATOR WILL REMAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND CUT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER ON THE FIRST INSTANCE, REPLACED THE BSM ON THE SECOND OCCASION, AND SINCE THEN 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. THIS VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE IN SOME WAY AND FCA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THESE ONGOING ISSUES THAT ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.
