2018 Jeep Renegade Complaint Log

IT STARTED FOUR(4) MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE CAR BRAND NEW. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I DECIDED TO TAKE THE BACK ROADS, I COULD NOT USE MY BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ECU HAD TO BE CHANGED. A FEW MONTHS LATER MY RADIO WAS RECALLED AND THAT HAD TO BE CHANGED. I'VE HAD A PROBABLY FOUR(4) MONTH BATTLE WITH THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS GOING OFF THEN COMING BACK ON OUT OF NOWHERE. THE FIRST TIME THE DTR WENT OUT THE LIGHTBULB WAS CHANGED AND THE METAL ON THE BASE OF THE LIGHTBULB WAS MELTED OFF.( I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OF IT THE DEALERSHIP TOOK IT WHEN I SHOWED THEM) I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE SECOND TIME THE LIGHT KEPT GOING ON AND OFF. THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THE RESISTANCE WAS TOO HIGH AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY. THEREFORE I HAD TO WAIT ON PARTS TO CHANGE THE WIRING AND SOCKETS FOR THE DTRS. IT IS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE AND I'M VERY TIRED OF HAVING TO TAKE MY, NOT EVEN, TWO(2) YEAR OLD CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET SOMETHING ELECTRICAL FIXED EVERY FEW MONTHS. I'M NOT SURE OF THE DATE IT ALL STARTED SO I APPROXIMATED.

WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT THE JEEP JERKS LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND.

I PURCHASED MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE MAY 29, 2018 AT THE DODGE, THOMPSON, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN BALTIMORE, MD 21224. ON DECEMBER 9,2018 IN THE EARLY MORNING MY VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. LUCKILY ME AND MY TWO YOUNG SONS WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THE FIRE IGNITED. THE FIRE ENDED UP SMOLDERING FROM LACK OF OXYGEN BECAUSE MY WINDOWS AND DOORS WERE SHUT AN LOCKED. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER MANUFACTURE AND AN INVESTIGATION IS BEING DONE. THE FIREMAN THAT CAME SAID IT LOOKS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE DUE TO FAULTY WIRING.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT GET GAS TO THE ENGINE. WAS GOING UP A HILL WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND HAD LITTLE POWER. HAD THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 11 MILES AN HOUR. THE ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING ANY GAS. I WAS AFRAID OF PULLING OVER ON A HILL BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GET MOVING BACK UP THE HILL AFTER STOPPING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL IN THE VEHICLE ONLY LASTED 200 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK, LOST ELECTRICAL POWER, AND STALLED. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, A GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED TO "STEP ON BRAKE, PRESS THE START BUTTON". THE CONTACT DID AS INSTRUCTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE RADIO REMAINED ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOTOR WORLD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (150 MOTORWORLD DR, WILKES-BARRE, PA 18702, (888) 459-2493) AND WAS INFORMED THAT AN OIL CHANGE AND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WERE NEEDED. THE OIL WAS CHANGED. THE DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE A FAILURE WITH THE RADIO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 71429369. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED IN REVERSE WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. IN ADDITION, THE VENT CONTROL FUNCTION FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY TO EMIT WARM AIR. THE DEALER (BIG O DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, 2645 LAURENS RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, (864) 288-5000) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY JEEP HAS STALLED OUT WHILE I'M IN DRIVE THREE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS. OIL IS FRESH AND HAS FULL TANK OF GAS.

MY CAR STARTING DISPLAYING THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW, AND IS NOT BEEN THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, I HAD 4353 MILES ON IT, AND WHEN I CHECK THE OIL THERE WAS NONE, HAD TO PUT IN 5 QUARTS OF OIL TO TOP IT, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY PUT IN THE SCANNER(IT DOESNT WORK) AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG, THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN 1000 MILES EXACTLY AFTER THEY CHANGED THE OIL, 650 MILES AFTER AND THE LIGHT OF THE OIL WHEN ON AGAIN

I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK AND BEFORE IT HAD EVEN REACHED THE APPROPRIATE MILEAGE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR ITS FIRST STANDARD SERVICE, I HAD DISCOVERED THE ENGINE WAS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE VECHILE HAS STALLED ON ME BEFORE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WHILST DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE ISSUE CORRECTED (OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, REPLACING THE PCV VALVE) AND YET THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. JEEP STAFF MEMBERS THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH MEMBERS FROM JEEP HEADQUARTERS KEEP ATTEMPTING TO INFORM ME "IT'S NORMAL, JUST KEEP PUTTING OIL IN IT.." I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS RESPONSE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOT ONLY HAZARDOUS TO MYSELF AS THE DRIVER, BUT ALSO THE PUBLIC WHEN THE CAR DOES STALL.

2018 JEEP RENEGADE THAT IS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD WAS PARKED ALONG A STREET IN BLACKSBURG, VA AT NIGHT. THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR AT LEAST 1 HOUR, MAYBE A BIT LONGER. IT CAUGHT FIRE ON 11/9/18 WHILE OUR SON WAS INSIDE HIS FRIEND'S APARTMENT. SOMEONE NOTICED IT AND ALERTED HIM. THE SMOKE FROM THE FIRE WAS BLACK AND HAD THE SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALER IN CHRISTIANSBURG, VA WHERE IT IS NOW. THE DEALER IS SAYING THE FIRE PROBABLY STARTED FROM LEAVES IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE IN THE ARE WHERE THE MANIFOLD MEETS THE EXHAUST THEN TRAVELED TO THE UNDERHOOD AREA. THEY ARE REFUSING A WARRANTY OR SAFETY REPAIR. *DT*JB *DT*JB

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN APPROXIMATELY 7 DAYS WHEN I HAVE STARTED THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE AND THE POWER STEERING ERROR WILL DISPLAY AND I HAVE 0 POWER STEERING! I DRIVE THIS DAILY ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY CHILD AND I READ A FORUM WHERE SOME PEOPLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING, THIS IS NOT AN OPTION OR A RISK I AM WILLING TO TAKE.

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT'S A NEW VEHICLE. IT ALSO TEMPORARILY STALLS WHILE SLOWING DOWN, TURNING AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFFS WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. THE DEALER SAYS MY VIN HAS NO RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT CALLED TRI-COUNTY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1290 HEBRON RD, HEATH, OH 43056, (740) 522-3153) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT OIL AND AN APPOINTMENT NEEDED TO BE SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE AN OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 88513705. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY AND COLLIDED WITH A WORK CONVOY TRUCK. THE FRONT AND BOTH FRONT QUARTER PANELS WERE INVOLVED, MORE DAMAGE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.*DT *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, LOST ALL POWER. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING. THE D FOR DRIVE WAS FLASHING ON THE DASH AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES AND IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR WITH JUST 1300 MILES ON IT. *DT UPDATED 11/30/18*JB

VEHICLE STALLING AND DYING WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. I CAN SIT FOR 10 MIN AND IT HESITATES SO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND STOP (SOMETIME WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD) IT SEEMS IF I LEAVE IT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 20 MIN IT WILL DO THIS THEN THE WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES AND IT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS ITS SELF OFF. AND IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT I HAVE TO LEAVE IT TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MIN THEN IT WILL RUN OK... I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE THEY CAN SEEM TO REPLICATE IT (IF THEY EVEN REALLY TRIED TO) I JUST PURCHASED THIS LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO HAD ONLY 6 MILES ON IT. ITS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE LIMITED 2X4.

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW FROM DEALER STOCK IN PATCHOGUE, NY, WITH TRAILHAWK TRIM. HAD IT A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, AND HAVE LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN THE 1ST WEEK THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A WAVE IN IT AT EYE LEVEL. HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE. AT SAME TIME, WE NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH CLIMATE CONTROL AND DEALER COULDN'T GET US IN TO LOOK AT IT FOR ABOUT A MONTH. WHAT HAPPENS IS AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND TEMP IS LEFT AT SAY 72 IN ALL ZONES, OFTEN WHEN YOU RESTART THE VEHICLE LATER OR THE NEXT DAY IT IS NO LONGER SET TO 72 AND MAY BE BLASTING SUPERHOT AIR AT 90 OR JUMP TO LOW AC OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. ITS A COMPLETELY RANDOM TEMPERATURE HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH OUTSIDE AIR TEMP. ALSO, DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH EVERY RESTART. THIS CAR HAS THE AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL FEATURE TOO, BUT THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHETHER WE LEAVE IT ON AUTO OR MANUAL. WE ALSO CHECKED TO MAKE SURE NO ONE WAS KNOCKING INTO THE CONTROL WITH LEGS OR HANDBAGS ETC. DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THIS IS "JUST HOW JEEP MANUFACTURED IT", AND "THE JEEP ENGINEERS DELIBERATELY WANT THE TEMPERATURE TO BE RANDOM BECAUSE ITS NOT A PRIORITY". THIS IS MY THIRD CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP VEHICLE, AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED IN EITHER OF THE OTHER TWO, SO THAT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE JUST A DEALER BEING LAZY AND NOT WANTING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND GOT LITTLE HELP SO FAR. HOWEVER, IT IS CLEAR TO ME NO ENGINEER WOULD EVER DESIGN A CAR TO BE SO DELIBERATELY INCONVENIENT AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WHERE YOU HAVE TO SPEND THE FIRST FEW MOMENTS IN YOUR CAR FIDDLING WITH DIGITAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLS. EVER CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN STORES YOUR LAST TEMPERATURE AND RESUMES THAT TEMPERATURE WHEN YOU RETURN. DID I MENTION WE ARE EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE AS A RESULT AND HAVE ALREADY TOLD MANY FRIENDS TO AVOID JEEP. TERRIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE TAG LIGHT GOES IN AND OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COUNTRYSIDE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (846 E 3RD ST, JACKSON, GA 30233 (770) 504-6194) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

WHEN FUELING, THE PUMP CONTINUOUSLY CLICKS OFF. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE POSITIONS AND MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IN OCT 2018, HAD A SENSOR REPLACED. IT DINT WORK. DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK IN UNTIL NOW (2/26/20). THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND I'M STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE PULLED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND THEN STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ONCE RESTATED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO DICK POE CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 6501 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925, (915) 778-9331). THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,700.

THE 2018 JEEP RENEGADE STALLED AS I WAS TURNING IN MY DRIVEWAY. CHECKED THE OIL AND THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. NO LIGHTS CAME ON. IT HAD ONLY 4000 MILES ON IT. NOT EVEN TIME FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE. NEVER HAD A NEW VEHICLE THAT HAD USED OIL. THIS IS NOT SAFE. IT COULD HAVE STALLED ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY.

INTERSTATE 5 SOUTH OF COTTONWOOD HEADING SOUTH BOUND BRIEFLY TELL US WHAT HAPPENED?I WAS DRIVING SOUTH BOUND IN MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. I WAS GOING TO PASS SOME MORNING TRAFFIC THAT WAS BUILDING IN THE RIGHT LANE. WAITING AND WATCHING FOR A SAFE OPENING AND LOOKING BACK AT THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME AS WELL. AFTER 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS TO GET OVER AND WE'LL OVER A MILE I SAW AN OPENING. I ACCELERATED TO GET IN AND BEFORE I KNEW IT I SLAMMED HEAD ON INTO THE BACK OF A DIESEL TRACTOR TRAILERS STEEL DUEL STAGE BUMPER AT ALMOST FREEWAY SPEED' 65-70 MPH FROM SITTING AT ABOUT 55-62 MPH WAITING FOR AN OPENING. I BLACKED OUT AND HAD ONLY HALF A CLUE WHAT HAD HAPPENED' THE OFFICER ON SITE THOUGHT I WAS DRUNK OR HAD BRIEFLY FALLEN ASLEEP BECAUSE OF HOW OUT OF IT I WAS. BUT OVER TIME THE MEMORY CAME BACK.. I PASSED HIS ROADSIDE EYE EXAM AND WAS TAKEN BY HIM TO ST. ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL IN RED BLUFF FOR A CHEST EXRAY AS I WAS IN THE FIRST PAIN I HAVE EVER BEEN IN. DR SAID I HAD BROKEN CARTLEDGE THROUGHOUT MY CHEST AND SEVER SWELLING AS THERE WAS A FAILURE IN THE AIRBAG AND ONLY THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT BELT STOPPED ME. W/ O THE AIR BAG MY LOWER BACK SKIPPED FORWARD IN THE SEAT AS MY UPPER CHEST SLAMMED INTO THE WHEEL AND RIPPED BACK INTO THE SEAT AFTER. I TOTALED MY JEEP AND DID NOT GET ONE AIRBAG. THESE JEEP RENEGADES BOAST A PLETHORA OF 10 + AIRBAGS I DIDN'T GET ONE. *DT *JB

I HAVE STALLED ABOUT 6 TIMES WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET. USUALLY SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING. AT 3,500 MILES, TURNED THE CORNER, STALLED AGAIN. NOT A DROP OF OIL IN IT WITH NO LEAKING, NO SMOKE, NO CHECK OIL OR ENGINE LIGHTS. DEALER SAID THIS IS "NORMAL". HAS STALLED SINCE WHILE IN MOTION, WITH ENOUGH OIL IN THE ENGINE. *TT *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT SEEMS THAT THE FIRST FOUR GEARS SOMETIMES MAKES THE CAR LUNGE WHEN THEY SHIFT UP. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND I WAS INFORMED THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOWING UP. IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN IM ACCELERATING BOTH FAST AND SLOW.

NO SPARE TIRE GIVEN NO WAY TO CHANGE TIRE IF SUFFERING FLAT TIRE OR BLOWOUT

BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2018. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH, THE USB PORT THAT CONNECTS TO CAR PLAY WOULD CONNECT THEN DISCONNECT WHEN IT RAINED. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE ISSUE UNLESS I BROUGHT IT IS WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AND SHOWED THEM. WHICH I COULDN'T BECAUSE THEY WERE ALWAYS CLOSED WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. WITHIN THAT SAME MONTH, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES IT SOUNDED LIKE THERE WAS AIR IN THE BRAKE LINE. EVERY SO OFTEN, THE SATELLITE RADIO WILL CUT OUT AND SAY "ACQUIRING SIGNAL". CAR HAS ALSO STALLED OUT ON ME 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. TWICE BEFOREHAND, WHEN I MADE A SHARP RIGHT TURN, THE OIL LIGHT WOULD POP ON FOR LITERALLY 2 SECONDS AND GO OFF. CAR WOULD STALL OUT AND WHEN I CHECKED THE DIP STICK, IT SHOWED I HAD BARELY ANY OIL. MANUAL SAYS EVERY 6000 MILES. OIL RUNS OUT BEFORE THE 6000 MILE MARK.IF I KNEW I'D BE PAYING OUT SO MUCH IN OIL , I WOULDN'T HAVE PAID SO MUCH FOR THIS STUPID TRUCK. ITS A COMPLETE RIP OFF. ONE OF THE TIMES IT STALLED OUT, I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT STALLED OUT JUST AS I WAS TURNING AND A CAR WAS COMING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND ALMOST HIT ME. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE TO WHICH THE DEALERSHIP WOULD TELL ME THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I TOOK IT THERE. OR THAT THEY CANT FIX IT UUNTIL I CAN REENACT THE PROBLEM FOR THEM

BOUGHT NEW 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. TRAVELING FROM PANAMA CITY FLORIDA TO A NEW DUTY STATION AT FT. BLISS (EL PASO TEXAS). AT AROUND 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE ODOMETER, WINDSHIELD STARTED CRACKING.

THE HILL ASSIST NEEDS SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO TURN AND CAME TO A STOP NEAR THE SHOULDER AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PULL THE WHEEL.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS LEAVING WALMART REMOTE STARTED MY JEEP PULLED OFF. ONCE I GOT ON THE ROAD THE JEEP STARTED STALLING THEN IT JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH NO WARNING. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A JEEP 2018 JUST CUTS OFF. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT.

The windshield is plagued by millions of dense specks that significantly impair visibility, especially when a light source is shone at it. This presents a significant safety hazard while driving, as it makes it difficult to see the road and the traffic clearly. So far the component hasn’t been inspected, but making a quick search on the internet revealed that there is plenty on unsolved situations like this one with similar vehicles.

My Renegade fuel pump failed in a very unsafe manner without an engine light at only 42,000 miles, less than half the expected life of that component. I was driving on the highway and without warning I could no longer accelerate and I had plenty of fuel but no engine light came on and I had to glide to the right while cars were speeding around me before I reached 0mph. This is extremely dangerous and I'm finding it's very common in other models that aren't covered under the fuel pump recall for certain jeep renegades. My fuel pump was fixed and they said it was a common issue but I had no recourse to investigate beyond "it's not a recall". If this is happening to other Renegades not covered it will most definitely cause a serious crash as the engine is on but no acceleration.
