2017 Jeep Renegade Brakes Problems

ABS system issues: all warning lights come on - abs, traction control, parking brake (the yellow light as well as the red one. Red comes on an flashes then goes off), hill start, ect... Had codes ran that came back with several ABS related codes as well as engine codes leading back to the ABS system. Came up with right rear tone ring needs replaced. This is likely untrue as the lights come on and off leading me to believe it is more likely an issues with the speed sensor. This safety risk with this is that when the lights are on there is no traction control leading to it locking up an sliding even at low speed (few miles per hour when stopping at bottom of dirt/gravel drive way). There is also a power change lasting a few seconds while driving when the lights do go out. I have also had only a few times where the parking brake (E brake) will come on and stop me immediately when I first start to move forward.

While attempted to stop at traffic light. Brake caliper on right passenger tire only locked. Causing vehicle to swerve into oncoming traffic in parallel lane while I attempted to gain control. Vehicle was inspected by local brake and tire company on 12/7/22. It was explained by said company that for only one brake caliper to be affected to the point of needing to be replaced was extremely uncommon. Considering vehicle was purchased with 8 existing miles. Vehicle currently has 83,000 miles.

I was in aware the driver side door wasn’t completely closed the indicator wasn’t on as I pulled out of a parking lot turning right I guess the door moved enough to set off the indicator and that in turn triggered the electric parking brake and the car locked down as a huge dump truck is coming towards me… I had plenty of space to pull out but when the brakes locked down now I’m stuck with seconds from unpact it takes 9 seconds to deactivate the epb having to be fully stopped push the brake pedal hit the button and wait for it to unlock I had about 4 my only option was to floor it dragging my rear end into the next lane then jump into the left turn lane because there was a semi coming in the other lane…. This accessory almost killed me it’s only a matter of time before people start being killed by a brake that will suddenly lock down for now good reason and in all my research there is no way to disable it from operation now I have flat spots on both my tires

I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade Latitude. I bought it in 2020 and had it for 2 weeks when the engine blew up. There was a recall on the engine so Chrysler paid for the “new” engine. Two weeks after I got it back it started stalling out when I was driving down the road. I had a new starter put in it and now when it decides to shut down while driving the brakes come on, including the emergency brakes, it comes to a screeching halt, and the gear shift throws itself from drive into park. I just want to either get my car fixed or Stellantis to trade with me to make things right. It is very unsafe to drive. Especially when you don’t know when it is going to do this because it doesn’t happen every time you drive the car.

TOOK THE JEEP TO DEALER FOR PA STATE INSPECTION . DURING THE INSPECTION IT WAS REVEALED A PROBLEM WITH A REAR DISK BRAKE. THE INSIDE PAD HAS WORE OUT DO TO NOT RETRACTING. THIS JEEP HAS A ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM, CAUSING IT NOT TO RETRACT THE INSIDE PAD. THE PAD A WORE COMPLELY OUT DAMAGING THE DISK. I HAD TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED. JEEP HAS ONLY 23000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT WORKING RIGHT. IF NOT FOR MY STATES YEARLY INSPECTION LAW THE PROBLEM WORLD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

THE CAR WAS THROWING EMERGENCE BRAKE FAILURE LIGHTS, ESC SYSTEM, SERVICE ELECTRONIC PARING BRAKE, SERVICE ESC SYSTEM, AND CHECK AIR BAGS LIGHTS

AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF USE THE BRAKE ROTORS HAD DEEP SCORING AND WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. AT LESS THAN A YEAR THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS SCORN AGAIN AND NOW THE VEHICLE PULLS TO ONE SIDE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED HARD.

I WAS HEARING A NOISE WHEN I BRAKE SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE THE CAR IS 11 MONTHS OLD WITH 19,152 MILES THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD NEED TO HAVE MY ROTORS AND BRAKES REPLACED. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS MODEL IS KNOWN TO HAVE BRAKE PAD ISSUES WHICH CAUSES THE ROTORS TO HAVE GROOVES. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKES THIS SOON.

AT 14,024 MILES, FRONT BRAKES WERE MAKING A GRINDING METAL TO METAL NOISE WHENEVER APPLIED. MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP SINCE I WAS TOLD OVER THE PHONE BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT BRAKES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR. (EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW.) UPON MECHANICAL INSPECTION, MY FRONT ROTORS (BOTH SIDES) WERE DEEPLY GROOVED BUT MY BRAKE PAD WAS STILL AT 90%THICKNESS, ALTHOUGH THERE SEEMED TO BE SMALL CHIP AT CORNER OF BRAKE PAD. I AGREED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED. THEN AGAIN, AT 27,475 MILES, THE LEFT SIDE ROTOR HAD SAME REPEATED WEAR PATTERN. AGAIN, THE LEFT SIDE ROTOR WAS MEASURED FOR MINIMAL THICKNESS AND RESURFACED AT AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP. PADS, AGAIN, HAD GOOD OPERATING THICKNESS AND REINSTALLED.I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE THIS WEEK AND I AM BEGINNING TO HEAR THE GRINDING NOISE AGAIN! WHEN IS THE JEEP MANUFACTURER GOING TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FORMULATING A FRONT BRAKE PAD MATERIAL THAT GRINDS INTO THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS?? ALSO REFUND REPAIRS TO CONSUMERS THAT HAVE INVESTED IN THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE (AT THEIR COST), NEW FRONT PADS AND NEW BRAKE ROTORS...JEEP, DODGE AND CHRYSLER-YOUR MANUFACTURING QUALITY IS DIMINISHING!!

TOOK MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE SPORT TO THE DEALER FOR REGULARLY SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. THEY DID CHANGE THE OIL AND ROTATE THE TIRES AS SCHEDULED. THEY DID NOTIFY ME THAT THE ROTORS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD PASS INSPECTION. DURING THE CONVERSATION THE DEALER SAID THESE VEHICLES WERE KNOWN FOR HAVING TOO HARD OF A BRAKE PAD AND THE PAD GROOVES THE ROTORS. AT THE TIME I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE SITUATION THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 19,000 MILES AND WAS IN THE 11TH MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN READING MANY FORUMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED THAT THE LAST THREE MODEL YEAR OF JEEP RENEGADE HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I AM VERY UNPLEASED BY THE FACT THAT I NOW NEED TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS, PADS, AND LABOR ON MY DIME FOR A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN A YEAR.

I PICKED UP MY RENEGADE FROM THE SERVICE CENTER YESTERDAY FOR MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE AUTO SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, BLUE-TOOTH, KEY FOB, AUTO-START, ACCELERATION AND TIRE GAUGE ISSUES. ON THE WAY BACK TO WORK IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING. AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WAS GOING AROUND 15-20 MPH AND IT LUNGED FORWARD AND STOPPED VERY HARD AND ABRUPTLY AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THEN TURNED ON, ON ITS OWN. I TURNED IT OFF AND CAUTIOUSLY PROCEEDED. NOW, WHENEVER I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON AND THE CAR FEELS ROUGH WHILE DRIVING, LIKE THE BRAKES ARE PARTIALLY ENGAGED WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE ONLY PUT LESS THAN 10 MILES ON THE JEEP SINCE PICKING IT UP YESTERDAY. THIS IS A REAL THREAT TO MY SAFETY. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT AND THE FOURTH MAJOR ISSUE. DO I NEED TO DIE IN A CRASH BEFORE SOMEONE WILL LISTEN TO ME AND HELP? THESE CARS NEED RECALLED AND TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. *TT *JS
