We were on our way to charleston, SC when we heard a rattling noise under the hood. After further inspection when we stopped we noticed the cooling fan was wobbling. When we got back to our hometown a few days later I took the car to the dealership. They stated it was the cooling fan assembly and needed to be replaced. This was not covered by any warranty and was going to cost close to $500. The dealer stated that this had been a recent problem they were noticing on a few other Renegades they repaired in the past couple of weeks. I have researched forums and so many people have been having this very same issue with their Renegades and no recall has been issued.

I have seen a recall for the 2017 Jeep Renegade where the engine is stalling. This is an issue with the 2016 and 2015 as well. I have a 2016 and mine has stalled numerous times, but today it almost got me and others on the road, killed. I was turning onto a roadway and it stalled to a stop in the middle of the road. I have talked with other local Renegade owners that all have the same issue. Why aren't the other, previous years included in on the recall since we all have this issue? I have made my family aware of this issue, so if anything happens to me while driving, they know where to go, legally. I am so disappointed, because this was supposed to be my safe fix over my VW beetle convertible - I felt safe in that over this vehicle. I am now stuck with a car that I am frightened to drive and will most likely need a repair for a known issue, but I will get to foot the bill. I have just scheduled a diagnostic test with a dealership, just to be reimbursed when the recall is issued.

Radiator fan shroud is missing the heat shield causing the fan to eventually warp malfunction and or burst into flames. All equipment is as is from factory.

At 38,000 miles my cooling fan came loose while driving. Took to dealership and was told warranty would not cover. My seatbelt sensor and other sensor lights are lighting up randomly so I'm not sure if there is an emergency or if the sensors are just faulty. Both of these issues could result in an accident. All of this while driving although the sensors are while stationary too.

Random times on dry roads both city and rural while slowing to make turns or starting from still to make turns or slowing the trying to resume speed the esp/traction control engages. Shuts down power to car and can not accelerate for a short period of time. With high speed vehicles approaching from out of view from the side or rear this has nearly caused several collisions for me.

The fan that cools the engine was loose, rattling and completely failed causing it to make my radiator fluid overheat to 252 degrees! couldn't drive for fear of my engine overheating and had to get it towed!! it was only at 37,00 miles! from this link to a forum it appears very many people are having the same issues at very low miles! www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/forum/434-problems-issues/68882-radiator-cooling-fan-issue-thread-6.html#/topics/68882?page=5 seems like there should be a recall on this because it seems to be a very common problem! this is just one page out of many pages of the forum. The engine started overheating when I was in idle, but I am not sure when the fan actually broke. It had made a rattling sound during idle the day before it broke.

Radiator fan is failing at 20,000 miles not not keeping the radiator and engine cool. This occurs while driving and idling. Jeep has this part on back order with no eta. I was told that it could be weeks before the part arrives. I have been made aware that many other Jeep Renegade owners are experiencing this problem, as well as the long delay for the part to arrive. However, there is no recall that has been issued. I have a rental car that I am paying out of pocket for with no assistance from Jeep.

Radiator fan assembly rattle and vibration issue. The dealer has had the car for two months for this issue waiting for a fix from Jeep and have yet to find a solution to the issue and it seems that many people are experiencing the very same issue. The car also at times will not start when the start button is pushed and the dealer claims that it is not an issue but others are complaining of it as well. The car was purchased in March of 2016 and the dealers has had the car for 3+ plus months during that time.

2016 Jeep Renegade spontaneously caught fire while parked on a city street. Observed smoke coming from under hood with car not running. When opened hood to investigate the entire car erupted in flames and burned to the ground. Causing the car barked adjacent to also catch fire

- Torrance, CA, USA

Initially vehicle had a burning smell which turned out to be the auxiliary coolant pump. After changing the coolant pump in March vehicle produced false overheat conditions four times and the vehicle lost power and shut down each time, while driving. Two of the times while on the highway and the other two while driving through local streets. Dealer then changed the temperature sensor. The problem could not be duplicated so there is no guarantee that the issue has been corrected. As a secondary issue the vehicle then had grinding noise in front end which occurred in June and is still occurring. Initially they changed the right front upper mount bearing. They have replaced that part once again as well as the right front hub bearing and spindle, control arm, and the upper strut mount boot, none of which have corrected the problem. This once again cannot be duplicated on a lift and they are having issues diagnosing the problem. As of this writing vehicle has been in shop over 30 days and they are still unable to repair.

The brakes squeal constantly. We noticed it shortly after purchase but assumed it was from being a new vehicle. After owning the vehicle for a year, we took it in to have the brakes and roters replaced. We were told that there was a lot of padding remaining. The squealing occurs whenever your foot is on the break, regardless if you are still or slowing.

When driving my vehicle September 29 2017. My 1.3 year old Renegades check engine light turned on. Called to make appointment immediately with dealer. 5 minutes later the the temperature spiked in about 1 second to around 265 degrees. The temperature gauge gave no indication of a rising temperature and literally shot up. The radiator cooling fan locked up. Part is on national backorder don't know when it will get repaired and dont know how much engine damage has occurred. Seems to be a national issue as there are other Renegades that have been waiting for months for the same parts and have been at dealership for months. Wish Jeep would give me a refund as vehicle only gas 11800 miles and potentially gas catasprophic damage. Should be a recall and fav should buy vehicle back. Temperature gauge was useless as it only shows the level at normal and from one degree to the next shot to max. Once it went down a few degrees. Dropped backed down to normal range even though was still in 260 degree range. Faulty and unreliable. Most likely fcs will say engine is fine then it will break die due to warped or cracked cylinder or head gasket. Vehicle was in motion on a city street in semi steady traffic. Going in a straight line

Driving home from work, I was stationary on a coty street with oncoming traffic, waiting at the light to make a left turn. When the light changed, I let off the brake and at the very beginning of applying pressure to the gas pedal to accelerate, the Renegade stalled with no warning, no warning lights. Under 16,000 miles and not due for an oil change for around 500 miles. I had to put on my flashers, press the stop button and then restarted by applying my foot to the brake and pushing the start button. The dealer checked the wiring harness (per my request as others have posted having this issue and stated the wiring harness was the problem). They stated they checked everything and found nothing other than the Renegade to be a quart low on oil and this was the cause of the stall/ shut down. They stated this has happened with some Jeep Cherokee as well. This is not safe at all, to have a vehicle stall with no warning, no warning lights while in the middle of traffic. I feel it's just a matter of time before someone stalls and is hit by another driver because of this, causing injury or death.

Traction control light randomly goes on in varying road and driving conditions that do not warrant it. This causes the car to slip and there is loss of control of the car (gas, steering) for 5 to 10 seconds in this mode which poses huge danger to the driver. In latest incident light didn't go out and had to restart car in middle of road. Car is at dealer for third time. Opened claim with manufacturer on 8/15/17. Dealer and manufacturer do not acknowledge issue but we have found a number of forums. This is a serious safety issue. This happens at different speeds, turning, going straight, etc. First repair was Nov 2106. Said found nothing but reloaded software. Feb 17 a number of dash board lights we're going on again and latest incidents for which we went to dealer today affects traction control more frequently then previous incidents.

My daughter was sitting in line at the bank. She smelled smoke and then saw it coming out of the engine. No lights on her dash came on. After it sat for awhile, we had her turn on the key and all of the dash lights then came on. The car has 35,000 miles on it. We had it towed to southpoint Jeep in tulsa (where we purchased it a year ago). The technician said he had 8 others with the exact problem. The technician said this problem is nationwide and that he couldn't tell us when parts would be available, but at this time there was not a recall. He also said he couldn't tell if the overheating damaged the engine. His name is blackjack. He encouraged us to contact customer service-which we have. They established a case for it. The technician said this default, even though we did nothing to cause it, is not covered under the warranty. He did offer us a discount for a rental car. We purchased this car brand new for our daughter to drive to college. We thought Jeep was reliable and a reputable company to deal with. She starts classes this Monday and we have no vehicle for her.

Electrical. Service 4X4 reoccuring. Dealer can't figure out. 4X4 not working when light is on. Whole dash board lit up today and prompted 4X4 service then just went to service 4X4( as in picture below)randomly turns on and off with seemingly no rhyme or reason. Was in dealer 8 days last week. Got back couple days ago, going into dealer next week to see if they can figure out, again. Prob lose Jeep for couple more days. Jeep sees more of dealer than my own garage. They have given rental each time which I applaud since is under warranty and less than 1 yr old but I have a dog and obligations so makes very inconvenient.

One day I was driving and my Jeep stalled out on me. It took a few minutes to get it started again. It happened a few more times within a 2 week period and then as I was turning the low oil pressure light flashed on for a split second. I took my Jeep in to get an oil change (brought it in under requested mileage) and told dealership of the stalling and low oil pressure light. They told me that there was no oil in the Jeep at all and I told them that was impossible because they did the last oil change I brought it in under the requested mileage for this oil change. They told me to come at 4000 miles instead. At approximately 4000 after getting oil change my car again stalled out as I was driving. My husband checked the oil and again it was "bone dry" the Jeep is burning oil excessively. Have to do oil consumption test with dealership. There are no warning lights that come on to state that oil is low. Have to check oil level weekly to make sure there's oil in car. If the oil gets too low the Jeep stalls out unexpectedlu while in motion. Does not start back up for at least 3 minutes. I was driving with my 8 year old and 2 year old and the it stalled out unexpectedly while in motion. Luckily this happened on a side road but it has happened 3 other times. One time was getting onto the highway. This is very dangerous. A new car should not be consuming oil to the point that it needs to be checked weekly.

On several occassions now, my Jeep Renegade has suddenly lost power /acceleration after making routine turns into traffic. The last incident was particularly scary, as I lost power while crossing traffic at an intersection and was almost T-boned by a truck in DC. I have mads an appointment with service at the dealership where purchased. After, researching, I see this has happened to other Renegade owners. This is dangerous beyond belief!!!

- Fairfax, VA, USA

Starting around 5,000 miles the car became unreliable and had safety issues. The car would randomly display warning messages. While turning onto a main road, the car shut off but turned back on right away. Car had acceleration issues, merging into highway, semis would honk and almost hit me. Took up to 1 min to reach 70mph. Parking brake engaged while driving. Upon starting the vehicle and trying to reverse, it would display a warning to place vehicle in park before shifting gears and would not reverse until I placed in park and turned the car off/on again. Often the car wouldn't shut off, or would take between 5min-4 hours to turn back on. Messages that would display while driving include "service air bags" "service electronic parking brake" "service brake system" service power steering." "dynamic steering torque service" sometimes the messages would display for hours on end, and the car wouldn't turn off and the battery would die. Key fob not detected displayed while driving on city streets and highway.

The mysky moon roof has no safety stop when retracting or closing the window! my wife was closing the passager seat my sky and her finger got smashed in the roof.I saw it happening and there was no way to stop it from going after hitting the button several times.the design required it to completely close before it will open. This is a major safety concern in the event a child is playing there was no safety stop or a retractable safety sensor.my wife's fingers may be broken I will be taking her to the doctor today.
