Sluggish acceleration loses power briefly when speed is reduced and trying to increase again. Loses power when turning from stop sign to street. Losee power from exiting lot to main highway. Has been happenig off and on since new purchase 2016 dealership no help. Last time happened 8-23-18 turned from stop sign would not accelerate right away. Was seconds in middle of road. Dash lights go off go off while driving or when starting. I have to turn off vehicle to get them to come back on. Last time on highway 8-22-18 50 miles from my house. Doesnt happen all the time. My Jeep.was purchased in July 2016 and has 17,500 miles. I am afraid to travel too far with it. This is a safety concern with me I live in country and need to travel 20 to 50 miles to doctors.

Electric cooling fan motor fails and causes vehicle to over heat.

- Wellsboro, PA, USA

Since purchase electrical system randomly gives all warning lights and will not let me shut off vehicle without unhooking battery and hooking back up. Have had it in shop multiple times for same thing, neither Jeep place I have took it to can figure it out and tell me my only option is to have towed in next time it does it and leaving on and "praying their service dept is open when it happens" per rice Jeep Dodge on alcoa hwy, lenoir city Chrysler Dodge where purchased told me to get lawyer so I refuse to take back there. Rice Dodge has been much more helpful and understanding and not threatening me. Have been working with frank at Jeep corporate and have multiple open cases

Driving on vacation all the sudden my 2016 Jeep Renegade starts to overheat and making loud noises which appear to be coming from the fan. Immediately pull over. Clearly the fan is defective because a cooling fan shouldn't fail less than 60000 miles. Jeep dealer is charging a little over $700 to fix it which involves replacing the fan assembly along with a sensor. Internet research indicates this is a large problem and still continuing.

- Baltimore, MD, USA

Car had 25000 miles. Got stuck in traffic and started over heating. Fan was rattling and found to be bad. We have replaced the fan 3 times since then at $400 a pop. This needs to be a recall or a fix implemented soon. Can't afford monthly payments X2 due to replacing fan every month.

- Talbott, TN, USA

Vehicle starts engine. However all emergency and warnings lights go on. Brakes and steering lock. Car will not shut off until battery is unpluged. This happens repeatedly and randomly.

- Stephens City, VA, USA

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.

SUV has a electrical problem causing the car to lose acceleration when pulling out into heavy traffic areas that require fast acceleration. The car also has random electronic messages that flash on the dash and the blind spot system goes off at various unnecessary times. The acceleration issue is very dangerous and I have had it to the dealer 4 times with no resolve!!! this could pose to be a serious issue if traffic is heavy and we are trying to merge into lanes or pull out into traffic lanes!!!! happens when pulling away from a dead stop, car starts in motion and then just looses momentum and slowly rolls forward and after seconds pass it will start to reaccelerate again. This has happened 8 to 10 times over the first year of ownership. The last time being yesterday Nov 20th 2017

Multiple issues since I purchased new. Dealer confirmed computer sending codes to transmission causing it to not shift properly. At times, you could not accelerate or extremely low gas mileage. On an interstate going up and down mountains with 18-wheelers, this is terrifying. All lights shutting off randomly including headlights, brakes, blinkers, dash, etc while driving down the road. The worst issue is I have had is the doors locking my child in. I put him in the vehicle as normal, when I went around to get in, all the doors had locked and would not open. The police busted a window to get him out. After confirmed he was ok, I went out to see what was going on with the vehicle. The dash was blinking a message and the locks were still acting up. After cranking, everything returned to normal. Updated 9/12/18

While driving my 2016 Jeep Renegade trailhawk on a city street it began accelerating rapidly on its own. I began engaging the brakes to try to slow the vehicle initially and the engine continued to the point of redline. I attempted to shift the car into neutral but the command center kept overriding my input; I was finally able to jam the car into neutral by slamming the palm of my hand into the shifter driving forcing the neutral shift. I was able to pull off to the should of the road where the car continued running at redline for several minutes while I attempted to stomp on the accelerator hoping to get the vehicle to disengage. Due to the electronic controls you cannot turn the car off while in neutral and the engine running at such high rpms. After roughly 10 attempts at stomping on the accelerator hoping to get the vehicle to respond it dropped to a standard idle. Only being a short distance from my neighborhood at the time of incident I limped the car back home. During that time the traction control light began flashing, the battery light came on, the temp sensor spiked to max temp, the oil pressure warning light came on and the A/C began to blow hot and the engine light came on. Upon safely pulling in my driveway it smelled of a hot burning rubber/oil smell and there was some type of fluid leaking from the car that appeared to be the synthetic oil.

Software issue in that instrument warning lights come on at at time. Possibly giving you false warning of what is happening with vehicle. Happens when switch is turned on and stays on for long time. It happened five times over past year; dealership saw it happen once but did nothing to correct the problem. Also came when vehicle was in motion. Sounds same as 2017 electrical system recall 17V4485000.

- Sweetwater, TN, USA

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.

2016 Jeep Renegade trailhawk loss of power accelerating from a stopped position, turning/merging into traffic form a slowed/stopped position, vehicle stopping up hill. 13,200 miles the 'check engine' light on, engine powered down twice when pulling out from a stop & turning left w/ slight incline, once going straight across a 2-lane hwy, & engine powering down when merging. Dealership said due to an update needed. Two wks after the update, engine powers down making a right turn form a stop sign. Dealership couldn't replicate & told to drive careful. A few wks later, I was stopped at a stop sign. I made a left-hand turn w/ an incline. As I started accelerating, the Renegade suddenly lost speed & ceased to move as I was pressing the gas petal. Those few seconds of pulling out w/ oncoming traffic could quickly lead to a wreck when you lose power in the middle of the road. I felt a great deal of panic, distrust of my Renegade. I feared for my safety. I take the Renegade back to the shop no real resolve. I was driving up a steep hill at which time my Renegade completely stopped as I was nearing the top of the hill. As you can imagine, this was terrifying to say the least! when the Renegade stopped, I was fortunate enough to not have anyone following behind me. However, due to the angle & steepness of the hill, I was panicked the Renegade would roll down. I never put my foot on the break & continued to pump the gas. After about 5 pumps on the gas, the Renegade began to slowly accelerate. I was going at a rate of speed of around 30mph, 1/4 of tank of gas, & driving for about 10 mins before incident. Chrysler isn't taking this issue seriously. I have been in contact w/ them on a Corp. Level as well. The Renegade has had 3 more incidents of losing power when accelerating in a turn from a stop. I fear for my life & am stuck w/ an untrustworthy new vehicle.

- Temecula, CA, USA

The vehicle with only 340 miles electrical system went completely haywire with all the warning lights and displays going off and the transmission disengaging, right in the middle of a busy intersection. Very dangerous. Had to turn off, move gear shift back and forth, then start car and get transmission to move off the road. Warning lights take turns going off and usually following the airbag warning the transmission disengages. Dangerous!

Driving on rainy day. Going anywhere from 30 to 55 mph. All idiot lights came on the dash. Said service everything lost power steering lost power brakes.

At less than 100 miles on 2016 Jeep Renegade trailhawk appeared to have had an electrical issue where when started alerts are displayed in the message center for for various lights (brake light failure, headlight failure, turn signal failure, etc.) the left turn signal began blinking slowly as if it was hesitating, the right turn signal blinked extremely fast, but the headlights and brake lights appeared to be working. This started happening on day 2 of ownership, as I was navigating through a parking lot after starting the car. I drove it a short distance to another parking lot, turned off the car, and waited a couple minutes before restarting the car. The problem continued.

- Arlington, VA, USA

At less than 1000 miles on my 2016 Jeep Renegade trailhawk appeared to have had an electrical issue where when started alerts for all lights are being seen (brake light failure, headlight failure, turn signal failure, fog light failure, etc.) however all lights appear to work. The only anomoly that I saw was that when the turn signals were engaged they blinked faster than normal. In older vehicles this was a sign of an electrical short. After shutting the car off for approximately 30 minutes, the alerts clear. I have had the issue occur again at 1800 miles. Again the alarms cleared out after some time.
