What 559 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Jeep Renegade

GAS PEDAL/ACCELERATION WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE, IN A CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AFTER I FIRST START THE VEHICLE, PLACE IT IN REVERSE, AND COAST/ROLL BACKWARDS (OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, INTO THE ROAD, INTO TRAFFIC). SLAMMING MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL RESULTS IN NO ACCELERATION, SO I JUST ROLL SLOWLY INTO THE ROAD. VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY AFTER I THEN SHIFT TO DRIVE. NOT BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE IN REVERSE WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK EVERY MORNING IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I TOOK THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY THEN TESTED THIS ISSUE ON 2016 RENEGADE, 2017 RENEGADE, AND 2018 RENEGADE. THE 2016 AND 2017 RENEGADES HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THE 2018 RENEGADE REPORTEDLY DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH A JEEP ENGINEER THAT HAS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE BEFORE, AND TRIED REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AS A SOLUTION. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, SO THE ENGINEER CLAIMS THAT IT'S "WORKING AS DESIGNED." CLEARLY IT'S DESIGNED UNSAFELY. I HAVE INCLUDED MY DEALERSHIP'S NOTES INDICATING THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND MY (AND OTHER) RENEGADES. AND THAT THEY ENDED UP DIAGNOSING THIS AS "ISSUE IS NORMAL NO PROBLEM FOUND."

FUEL PUMP MODULE: ISSUES ADDRESSED BY RECALL REMAIN UNRESOLVED. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THERE WAS A PART AVAILABLE, THEN HAD OUR APPOINTMENT CANCELLED BECAUSE THEY HAD RUN OUT. DRIVING THE CAR WITH THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AS THE CAR TENDS TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR WHEN MAKING A TURN. WE HAVE BARELY AVOIDED ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS DUE TO STALLING, INCLUDING ONE WITH A SEMI-TRUCK. ENGINE: HARD IDLE WHEN COLD. ENGINE RATTLES LOUDLY. POWER TRAIN: WHEN CAR IS ACCELERATED TO 30 MPH RANGE, IT "HICCUPS" OR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT EVERY TIME WE ARE TOLD THAT THE "COMPUTER ISN'T PICKING ANYTHING UP" AND PROBLEM REMAINS UNRESOLVED.

JERKING/LUNGING OF CAR DURING ACCELERATION UP HILL OR GOING DOWN HILL OR SOMETIMES TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP

NHTSA ODI 11218001

WE BOUGHT A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE IN SEPTEMBER 2017. OUR RENEGADE HAS A VERY HARD SHIFT PROBLEM AND MAKES A LOUD CLUNK SOUND AROUND THE 25-30MPH RANGE...IT HITS SO HARD THAT IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. WE HAD OUR CAR SERVICED 3 TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT STILL CONTINUES. WHEN WE WENT BACK FOR THE 3RD TIME ON MAY 24TH, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD US THAT IT WASN'T THROWING ANY CODES SO THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. HE ALSO INFORMED US THAT THIS WAS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE RENEGADES AND ALL THEY COULD DO WAS TO FLASH A SOFTWARE UPDATE EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS IT WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER TECH SAID "IS YOUR CAR STILL UNDER WARRANTY?" WE SAID YES, IT ONLY HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT. HE SAID TO THE OTHER TECH, WE SHOULD JUST PUT A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION IN THE THING. THE OTHER TECH SAID, IF WE DO THAT, IT WILL JUST BE PUTTING THE SAME KIND OF TRANSMISSION BACK IN IT (9 SPEED TRANSMISSION) WHICH WOULD EVENTUALLY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD THAT MOST PEOPLE JUST WANT TO TRY TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. THE SERVICE TECH ADVISED US TO TALK WITH A SALES PERSON. SO WHILE TALKING WITH THE SALES PERSON, SHE TRIED TO GET US INTO A CERTIFIED USED CAR. WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR FOR A REASON, TO NOT END UP WITH SOME ELSE'S PROBLEMS WITH A USED CAR. THEN WE ASK TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER. HE TOLD US THAT ANY CAR HE PUT US IN WOULD JUST HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND POSSIBLY THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE MANAGER ACTUALLY TOLD US THAT WE WOULD JUST BE BETTER OFF TRADING IT IN AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. WE WENT TO THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH THEM ABOUT TRADING IT IN AND THEY ONLY WANTED TO OFFER US A TRADE IN VALUE OF $10,000 WHEN WE STILL OWE $15,000. IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR THAT NO ONE AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IS WILLING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY CLEARLY KNOW THEY HAVE SOLD MANY CUSTOMERS FAULTY VEHICLES.

I PURCHASED MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE BRAND NEW AT THE END OF JANUARY 2018. I WAS TOLD TO BRING MY CAR IN AT 5000 MILES FOR AN OIL CHANGE. RIGHT BEFORE MY OIL CHANGE WAS DUE, WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT, I MADE A TURN AND SAW A LOW ENGINE PRESSURE LIGHT AND THEN MY ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY HUSBAND & I MET WITH THE JEEP DEALER AND THE SHOP MANAGER SAID THE ENGINE WAS JUST "BREAKING IN" AND USED UP THE OIL. THIS WASN'T SOMETHING WE HAD HEARD OF BEFORE. THEY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND AFTER ALL THAT WAS DONE, THEY SAID IT WAS FINE AND IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR IN LIKE CLOCK-WORK TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THIS WEEK, WITH STILL 300 MILES TO GO UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE, MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL ON A BUSY MAIN ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME AGAIN "THIS CAR JUST USES OIL". THEY CONFIRMED I WAS 2.5 QUARTS LOW. WE HAVE 2 RENEGADES IN THE FAMILY, MY DAUGHTER'S 2015 RENEGADE THAT WE BOUGHT IN 2017 WITH ONLY 2500 MILES ON IT DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOW GETTING A SECOND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RUN. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2017 JEEP RENEGADES FOR A CRACKED OIL PUMP ISSUE. MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT YET IT HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR SO THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE "USED CAR" ISSUES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I'M GETTING NERVOUS MY CAR WILL JUST TURN OFF AND I WILL BE IN AN ACCIDENT THE NEXT TIME AS I'VE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

AS DRIVING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP I COULD HEAR THE BRAKES SQUEAKING. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS SINCE IT WAS A BRAND NEW CAR, MAYBE THE BRAKES NEED TO BE BROKEN IN. ALTHOUGH, NOW HAVING OVER 20K MILES, THE BRAKE SQUEAK HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME CAUSING MY ROTORS TO BECOME DAMAGED WITH DEEP GROOVES. THE CAR ALSO JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT IS EMBARRASSING, ESPECIALLY WHEN PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE, FOR MY BRAND NEW, BARELY A YEAR OLD, CAR TO BE JERKING SO ROUGHLY. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, PLEASE SPEAK UP SO THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED. THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT BUT HAVE NOT SPOKEN UP, NOW IS THE TIME. DONT WAIT!

I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES.
