My 2016 Jeep Renegade radiator fan assembly is shot. Stopped working when I was idling on my way home.it is almost $1000 to fix and I can not safely drive my vehicle. It is only two years old. It has 45K miles. Online there is a ton of people complaining about this same issue, particularly in the 2016 Jeep. I want to urge you to investigate this car and company to do the right thing and cover the cost of the repairs.

While driving at 36120 miles I noticed a burning smell inside my passenger cabin. Shortly thereafter I noticed the engine temperature gauge went to its hottest reading and my check engine light came on. After pulling over and turning the vehicle off I opened the hood to the engine compartment and noticed that although the engine appeared to be extraordinarily hot, the electric fan was not operating. I then went into my house and did some online research and discovered that it quite possibly was a defective electric engine fan that was prone to failing due to no proper heat shield. This had been noted by many owners of the same vehicle. I made arrangements to have the vehicle brought to my Jeep dealer who then confirm that this was indeed the case.

Cooling fan quit working. 50 amp fuse blows. Vehicle was being driven on highway. Had to keep heat on to keep coolent temperature down.

- Oxford, AL, USA

At 55000 miles the cooling fan quit out of nowhere. It was fine the day before and then when it was cranked the next morning the fan was ticking and then about 15 minutes later stopped running.

- Clermont, GA, USA

My radiator fan went out at 50,000 miles therefore out of warranty. I had noticed a few times that I would hear a noise coming from the engine, I took it to the shop and they saw no issues. Fast forward 4 months and I was sitting in traffic and my car began to overheat. I was informed that this is an ongoing issue and that I should submit a complaint to hopefully get a recall on this as I paid a significant amount of money to fix it.

- Charlotte, NC, USA

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Renegade. While driving 15 mph, the engine seized. The vehicle was taken to franklin sussex auto mall (315 NJ-23, sussex, NJ 07461, 973-875-3188) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to call NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000. The VIN was not available.

The radiator fan is wobbling and causing a rattling noise. This is a known issue among other Renegade owners. It may catch on fire or rupture the radiator. It will certainly lead to overheating if it isn't replaced.

I was driving roughly 15 miles per hour when my car made a ratteling noise. I stopped and could not see anything physically wrong with the engine. With in 5-10 minutes I could smell burning coming from my engine. My engine began smoking. My coolant level had dropped. I was luckily able to refill the coolant and make it back to town. The next morning my coolant had dropped again. I refilled it then smoke came from the engine again with a check engine light a 1/2 block away from my starting location. The coolant fan system needs to be replaced. The vehicle only has 36,000 miles on it. After much research I have learned this is a well know issue with this type of vehicle. So well known the parts have been on back order but the manufacturer has not recalled the vehicle. How quickly the engine smokes and faulters is a safety hazzard. The vehicle quickly stops working due to this issue potentially stranding passengers on highways or in areas unaccessible by help because it is an offroad vehicle.

Problem with cooling fans. Took to two different places and was told this was the problem after a diagnostic was run on the car. Have now left the car with a Jeep dealership so do not currently know what the final resolution will be.

- Hoover, AL, USA

The cooling fan for the engine made noise, then stopped working. I have less than 34K miles. This was while the engine was on. And when it was off, it would not move manually.

- Antelope, CA, USA

Stalled during stop and go traffic on the highway three times in 30 minutes. Dry roads, sunny 90 degrees F, going straight. Ac on full blast. No indication of any problems. Only 41000 miles. New vehicle for me. I know the 2017 was recalled (U18), and this looks just like it, but on the 2016.

- Pueblo, CO, USA

My 2016 Jeep Renegade fan assembly continues to lock up and make loud noises I had to get it replaced once this will be my second time replacing the fan. I noticed on the Jeep forum that this is a well known issue that lots of Jeep Renegade drivers are having its very dangerous because it happens out of the blue and sometimes I take road trips ive only had the Jeep a year.

- Florence, SC, 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

Cooling fan started rattling very loud. It seems to be loose. Vehicle has 40114 miles. Research on internet confirms that this is a very common problem and Jeep redesigned their cooling fan for replacements and newer vehicle. This should be a recall sinc it is a known problem!!!

- Nolensville, 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

My electric radiator fan is wobbling at only 32,000 miles on the car and it's make a hitting noise from it.

- Reedville, VA, USA

Radiator fan is loose and is making loud noises. Done research and have seen this is a very common problem with 2016 Jeep Renegade. It has now caused the check engine light to come on.

- Pearl City, HI, USA

As I was driving my Jeep made a noise and started to overheat. I had it towed to the dealership and they informed me that it would be $600 to replace. I researched this and there are hundreds of affected Jeep owners. There is no recall but my car could have caught fire. It's outside of the basic warranty as well. This needs investigated asap!

- Upton, KY, USA

Just like sooo many people online out radiator cooling fan started wobbling and now grinding. There are so many forums, sites and videos that show this is happening to a lot of people. A recall is not yet in effect but it needs to be asap. Cost is 400-1000 for each repair. And don't let them try to say it's an issue of dirt. It's usually around 36,000 miles so don't wait to fix it as the warrenty will expire.
