Vehicle shifts very hard. When shifting into drive jumps forward and similarly jumps back on reverse. Vehicle was stationary in a parking lot went from park to reverse and applied a slight amount of gas, vehicle shot backwards causing me to sharply turn the wheel to avoid a collision. Similarly, when first placing vehicle in drive going around 15 miles an hour vehicle will jump forward noticably.

Radiator fan makes rattling sound while stationary and while driving. Very loud and causes car to overheat when ran for any extended period of time.

The Jeep has been taken to an authorized dealer 3 time for the same problem. The Renegade when reaching speeds of approximately 30 miles per hour produces the same sound as running over rumble strips. The sound can get very loud making it difficult to hear what is going on in the surroundings (horn, siren, etc). The authorized Jeep service station has been unable to locate the problem but acknowledges they can hear the sound. This issue has been reported on several Jeep Renegade forums, stating the warrantied differential was required to be replaced, they deemed this 'not necessarily the problem'.fca has been informed of this issue and seems to think it poses no safety concern. This is a 9 speed auto transmission.

The seal between the window and the top of the driver door has been replaced twice by the dealer. The seal continues to crack allowing wind and water to enter the cabin. The sound is loud enough to drown out the radio and is distracting. This occurs while the vehicle is in motion.

The cooling fan has come loose and appears to be near failure, which has prevented me from operating the vehicle. The vehicle is only two years old with 27,000 miles and appears to be a widespread issue with this model; this should not be happening in a vehicle this new!

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact noticed smoke underneath the hood of the vehicle. The contact had to turn off the vehicle and allow it to cool off and the smoke to dissipate. The failure recurred when the vehicle was restarted. The contact took the vehicle to the putnam Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealer (3 California dr, burlingame, ca 94010; 650-558-5612) where it was diagnosed that the radiator fan failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to normandin Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat (900 capitol expressway auto mall, san jose, ca 95136; 408-266-9500) where it was confirmed that the first diagnosis recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and opened case number: 32481073. The manufacturer stated that the repair was not covered under warranty and the repair part was on backorder. The approximate failure mileage was 57,474.

On October 12th the car started making an odd noise driving in the city (never off road). I didn't drive it again until October 14th and it was making the noise again. We were trying to drive to the dealership but the car started smoking near the engine compartment and we drive it to my mechanic. He said the fan had stopped working. We called the arrigo dealership in fort pierce who said I need a fan assembly unit and needed to pay $263 upfront. The part is on backorder and should take 1-2 months but may be longer. Once it is delivered it would cost $260 for labor. Since my car has 49,000 miles on it and the warranty ended at 36,000 the repair isn't covered and no loaner car will be provided. Also, do not drive the car to prevent engine damage. What" so my mechanic called around to find the part elsewhere. He spoke to schumacher Jeep and the service department said it is a know issue and asked my mechanic if he would like to be put on the waiting list. When he asked how long the waiting list is, the gentleman replied there are approx 4700 parts request before us and there is no eta at this time it could be 1-4 months. This is utterly ridiculous. When I search the net, there are soooooooo many similar issues and Jeep is saying this is not a recall.

When I'm driving my vehicle will not speed up. I press on the gas and it keeps going at the same speed. When I brake it pulls, like if I was repeatedly pressing and letting go of the brakes. The wheels have worn out twice, having had new cars before and driving the same roads and distance I know this is not normal. I have fixed my breaks once wich is unusual for how new this car is and now my breaks are making squeaking noise.

Radiator fan shorts out causing a possible fire risk. Mechanical burning smell filled the car.

While accelerating to pull out of a full stop at a stop sign intersection I pressed the gas but the car didn't move. It felt like it was almost in neutral or had stalled completely. After double checking the car was in drive and checking my dashboard for errors, I put the car in park, and then shifted back to drive and it began moving finely with the gas pedal. The event was scary however because for that moment as I was pressing the gas pedal while the car was in drive, the car wouldn't move at all. This could have been dangerous had I been on a busier road. The car had been turned on and running for 2 minutes prior to this event occurring. I was pulling out of a grocery store parking lot.

Horn works intermittently. Took it into dealer and they replicated the problem and performed a software update. Worked fine for a week or two, but intermittent inoperable horn issues began again. Safety issue when it's needed to alert pedestrians or vehicle that don't see you. On two separate occasions, I barely avoided a cars that apparently didn't see me when they cut in front of me. Once was at slow speed in the city and the other was at high speed on the interstate. An inoperable horn is a safety issue. I have to schedule another appointment to hopefully find the problem.

Since I have purchased the car it sometimes stops dead in its track as I start to drive. I am usually going slow when this happens. I took it in and was told the software had to be updated and I had a lot of them. Now, the air broke and all of a sudden the car started overheating. I had to pull over and wait for service. I am waiting to hear back what the problem is now. Considering turning the car in.

Recently had my apartment broken into and one of the things stolen was my 2015 Jeep Renegade keyless entry/start key fob. Since this person knows where I live I needed to have my fob reset and the stolen one deleted from the memory. Turns out for the Jeep Renegade only the existing fobs can not be removed from the memory unless they have the physical fob. Now I have to fear that my car can be stolen and broken into at any time as I am unable to move anytime soon. Jeep is aware of this problem and states there is simply nothing they can do about it and it has been fixed in newer models. I have gotten zero suggestions as to how to proceed so my car is not stolen or damaged by the creep who has my fob. The computer in the car cannot be completely reset to make a whole new set of fobs since the VIN on the Renegade does not allow for total reset of keyless system.

After vehicle is at operating temp. Vehicle stopped at light, turning left and accelatering away, the traction control light comes on and vehicle loses power like it wants to halt vehicle for 5-10 seconds. I was able to pull over bit, release acceleration pedal, and reapplied to regain full function and acceleration. Happens either turning right or left on dry pavement. Renegade has been to the dealership five times. Service manager road tested vehicle and verified concern. Dealership had a tech advisor state that they are aware of the problem, it is inherent with Renegades. Fca currently has no know application to correct this unsafe condition. Have had vehicle to dealership April, 2016, July, 2016, October 2016, February 2017 and March 2017.

Was going approximate 25-30 mph switched lanes and the traffic stop I pressed the brakes and here was a grinding felling and hit the back of another car and did substantial damage to the front end of my Jeep and the airbags did not go off

- Carney's Point, NJ, USA

I have owned this vehicle for a year and have less than 5K miles on it. Today I was making a normal right hand turn (not sharp or anything) and as I was turning the Jeep lost all power and the traction control light came on the dash.

- Rock Island, IL, USA

I have had a "service in 30 days, I'm now on 6 days" and I have been to 2 different dealers to have the service message removed from when I start the Jeep but the message never goes away, I have had the service done twice now to get the message to go away but it never does, the date just goes down and I have no way to remove the message, and apparently dealers can't either, what happens when I hit day 1 or beyond" when will I know my vehicle needs service next if the light never turn off to begin with on a new vehicle"

At 1040 miles while going up a 7% grade in 100+ degree temperatures. The transmission down shifted and immediately lost power then began 'lunging'. display showed "place vehicle in park prior to selecting a gear". after waiting several minutes restarted vehicle but as soon as it needed to shift it would do the same stall out. This exact behavior also occurred on the same section (within 2 mi) of highway at the following odometer readings: 4811, 5202, 28928, 29580 and 29623. Common RPM's are around 3500 but varies somewhat each time and usually between 50-65 mph. The car is being driven in full automatic mode and is unresponsive if attempting to switch to manual mode once it starts. Cruise control was only used the first time. I quit using it after that in case there was any relation to the shift selections. The gap in the mileages indicate the almost almost 3 months that the dealership had the vehicle and the time that I did not experience the problem- cold months only. Many of the occurrences are with days of each other and or after picking up the vehicle. The vehicle also experiences extremely hard low speed shifts (from a light or stop sign). The stretch of highway I drive daily is very busy and a main corridor from the neighboring city to my rural town. It is dangerous to suddenly drop "back" on speed so dramatically.

2015 Jeep Renegade: Vehicle shifts hard; like a canon. Took vehicle in to dealer and they said it just needed an update. Problem still not fixed. Vehicle makes a ringing sound like a phone when at highway speeds of 65 miles per hour. Vehicle rattles a lot especially in the speaker areas and also the driver side seatbelt area. When I took it in to the dealer to have them figure out the rattles they said that they could not find it. The seats do not heat up well. When it is turned on high, it feels like it is on the low setting still. When the steering when is being turned at any speed it makes a creaking sound.
