Information about the vehicle: 2015 Jeep Renegade sport 2wd, highway miles minimal stop and go, maintenance is on time through the dealership, zero accidents. I noticed a whining sound in the engine compartment while the vehicle was stationary. The temp is typically 198-201 the temp climbed to 223 at highest. While the vehicle is in motion the temp reverts to 198. Arrived home, opened the hood while engine was running to duplicate the issue the fan motor started to whine but not move.

Multiple times since owning this vehicle the past 7 months, I have had to get 3 oil changes and top off the oil many times in between, which is much more than the manual states is necessary. This vehicle burns through or loses oil too quickly, which causes the vehicle to turn off while driving (in motion) which is a huge safety concern. It often turns off going up or down hill, and after or mid turn (what little oil is remaining shifts) on city streets. My car has turned off itself in the middle of traffic more than a dozen times. Sometimes it takes a couple minutes before it will turn itself back on. Like mentioned, this has occurred more than a dozen times since May 2018 (purchased vehicle in March 2018). Between 10/29 and 10/31, it occurred 9 times. If necessary, I have documentation of the frequency of service needed.

Bought my Jeep brand new 2015 Jeep Renegade in October 7,2015. My radiator fan is not working and the car is starting to over heat. At first kept hearing a loose dragging noise before leaving to the store from my house and I poped the hood open of my car and I saw the fan not working to cool the car down when the temperature of the car was going up. So I called the dealer to make an appointment for Monday for them to check out the cars issue. My car only has 31,000 miles. I have also taken my Jeep to the dealer this same year for them to replace the thermostat. My check engine light is now on. This should be recalled it's not safe and it's dangerous for any vehicle to operate with any malfunction in the engine compartment especially for a brand new car not even 5 years and the radiator fan is already broken.

Besides the numerous problems I have had with electrical issues, etc. When I bought this new 2015 Renegade, I am now on 55,000 miles and the motor fan is going out. When the fan comes on you can hear the bearing grinding which progressively has gotten louder and is impossible to ignore. My best friend bought the same make and model and her fan just went out leaving the vehicle overheated and her stuck on the side of the road. It's not like Jeep is not aware of this issue since there are numerous online boards and youtube videos on how to replace the fan if you can't afford the $600+ to have the dealership do it if you are out of warranty. I am just out of warranty and my husband just had bypass heart surgery so our plans to have him replace it are out and I can't afford to have it fixed with his medical emergency so it is parked as I live in a rural area and can't afford for it to strand me on the roadway. This is my 3rd and last Jeep. It has been a piece of crap.

I bought a 2015 Jeep Renegade from this dealership brand new. All service has been done at either this Jeep dealership or the one in lima Ohio where I lived for a brief time. Beginning in March of 2018 my vehicle stalled while running with no warning whatsoever. After several minutes it restarted. I took it to the dealership who told me it was because I needed an oil change and because of the change in temperature from Ohio to Arizona. It then happened again two more times once on the freeway-all again with no warnings. Jeep then had my car in August for nearly a month-I was told it stalls due to low oil pressure and to do an oil consumption test meaning I drove it for 1200 miles and then returned it to them. I was then told that my oil consumption is "within manufacturer specifications" so the dealership would not be doing any repairs and that I need to check my oil level at each gas fill up and add oil as needed in between oils changes. This is not in the manual and this car is still under 36,000 miles and until October 30 the bumber to bumber warranty. I was told by dustin the manager of the service department to contact Chrysler as they would have to authorize any repairs or changes. I was told by Chrysler that there is nothing to fix and given the same recommendation to check my oil at each gas fill up and add oil. This car has no oil light, no check engine light or any warning of any kind before it just stalls while driving. I do not feel safe driving this car and do not trust that this an an acceptable loss of oil and that they can set an expectation that is not listed anywhere in the manual.

Jeep is burning oil and coolant between oil changes. Need to add oil at least every 2 to 3 week and coolant monthly. No warning lights have ever come on indication the vehicle is low, it has not over heated. Have found Jeep to be upto 3 quarts low on oil and no coolant in reservoir. No signs of leaking of any kind. Have noticed a distinct smell of burnt oil after long drives. When adding oil and coolant today I found a pink frothy residue on all the house joints for the coolant. Why am I not getting any warning lights and where are these fluids going to. There is distinct metal sound when the engine is running now. I addressed the oil issue with the deal the last time it was in and I was told I just need to add oil periodically that "all vehicles" periodically need oil. I have never had this issue with any other vehicle I owned.

The coolant fan went off track and started squealing and getting stuck, causing the fuse to blow. Within a month, and after replacing the fuse 3 times, the fan motor stopped working and burnt up completely. Attempted to replace it with another fan, and it blew the fuse again and burnt up the new fan motor also. Also, within the last month (today being 9/20/2018) my car has been jumping and shaking when in drive mode. Mainly occurs after speeds of 40+ mph have been reached and when vehicle has been driven for a longer length of time.

I went out to pick up dinner.I left the vehicle running when I went into the restaurant, came out two minutes later and noticed a really weird rattling/revving sound coming from under the hood. I popped the hood and the whole radiator fan and housing was wobbling and had a terrible electrical fire smell. I was thankfully able to get home, which was only five minutes away, but as soon as I got in the driveway the message "service engine" came onto the screen.I popped the hood again and the fan locked up and is no longer spinning. I see I'm not the first with this issue...can we please get a recall?this is very dangerous.

Driving on interstate when Jeep Renegade unexpectedly started to cut off. It felt like it was shaking and shuddering. Got off at exit and vehicle continued to act like it was going to cut off, especially when stopped at a light or stop sign or when making a turn after stopping. Made it home. Turned it off and then back on. Check engine light on. There was no advanced warning lights on the dashboard prior to the Jeep unexpectantly slowing down. There was no burning smell. I had the vehicle towed on Monday, August 20, 2018 to Jeep dealer in lewisburg, wv. They say it could be a week before they are able to look at it and I am without a vehicle. I wanted it taken to a Virginia dealer who could look at it sooner but roadside assistance said the wv dealer was closer.
