While accelerating on freeway, engine suddenly turned off. Fuel pump went out, and I had to coast to safety avoiding traffic. Having to move lanes into the shoulder was incredibly scary once my momentum dropped to 15mph on a freeway alongside cars going 85+. It almost caused 2 separate accidents where others had to slam on their brakes. I noticed other renegades have recalls for this, I’m curious why mine does not when I enter in the vin?

Something shot out of the engine and caused a large hole the car never overheated and oil changes were done properly. The dealership says sometimes these things just happen and is unable to tell me what shot through the engine.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING.

My fuel gauge went bad, resulting in me running out of gas when it stated I had over 1/4 tank left. So that $80 tow bill was fun. Also, my coolant temperature light just started coming on today, reaching all the way up to the top and red light when I was idling at stop lights. It would return to middle while driving, then ramp up to the top when idling. By searching the recalls with my VIN, it states I have no recalls to fix. However, after speaking with an FCA Recall Center representative, I was told to take it into a dealership so they could diagnose it as a manufacturing defect. Let me also state I'm not thrilled with this dealership and they have been sneaky in the past, gaslighting me about the excessive oil consumption and blaming me, when it was a recall that they later fixed (James River Jeep, Ozark, Missouri).

Fuel system or engine failure to start vehicle. Malfunctioning, as well as excess oil consumption. Dealerships are neglect to address the issues. There is a recall for the make, model, and year of my vehicle but my VIN was not listed but I believe it should be.

Cooling motor fan is shorted and causing fan fuse to blow therefore causing engine to overheat which can blow it up and cause EXTREME SAFETY ISSUES. There should be an active recall on my vehicle as the cooling fan needs completely replaced and I have looked this problem up and other 2015-2017 Jeep Renegades have had this problem with active recalls.

The coolant loses too fast, like one cup coolant per one thousand miles. But coolant dripping can be found.

After getting gas on two occasions, today being the worst, my car shut off as I was exiting the gas station. My vehicle has started rough on a few other occasions, which I have spoken to my dealership. To which I was told maybe I wasn’t pushing the start button long enough. I was clearly concerned for my safety and my mothers because she was in the vehicle with me. I was also concerned for the oncoming traffic. I have taken it to the dealership for a diagnostic test because the engine light comes on and off. The code came up for a slight evap leak. I have been waiting for that part for about 3 months now. This usually only happens after I get gas. I am so worried that it’s going to start happening all the time or I am going to get into a bad accident.

Engine is burning oil. One recall issued and answered with a software update. Update has not fixed problem. Dealership did an oil consumption test. Dealership said it passed despite the fact it lost half a quart of oil in 1500 miles. My oil change is now right around the corner and it's over a quart low on oil. Oil light only comes on when it's just shy of bone dry. It is not normal or safe to have this much oil consumption in such a short amount of time.

The component involved involves the oil. My Jeep keeps running out of oil to the point where we have to keep putting more in. A couple times the car has turned off because of this problem. I brought the car to my mechanic only to find out the oil was completely gone. I’m lucky the motor didn’t go. I do have the oil changed every 3,000 miles but after only 2000 miles I get the message saying I need an oil change. The car is only 6 years old and only has 36,000 miles on it. I don’t what is going on but to me it seems there is a leak somewhere. I am afraid to drive it.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of engine oil. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer three times to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no additional assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 29,000.

Engine uses excessive amounts of oil. We took the car in twice to do an oil consumption test, which resulted in one quart per 1,000 miles. The dealer says this is normal. This is a five year old car with 60,000 miles on it, which is average. We have other FCA products that consume imperceptible amounts of oil between scheduled oil changes (every six months or 10,000 miles). I have old cars with hundreds of thousands of miles that don't consume oil to this extent. Maybe it's normal for this vehicle or, more precisely, this engine, but it is not normal for the average car.
