Radiator fan stopped working around 30K miles. After doing a bit of research it seems to be a common issue among 16-18 Renegade model. However, no recall has been issued and there should be. Temperature gauge goes to the max when vehicle is idle.

The "beats" speaker system didn't last more then 30,000 miles; there are shifting issues, along with stalling issues and most recently a mysky panel shift that needs to be replaced for 4200!

2016 Jeep Renegade caught on fire while driving down highway. Cause of fire is unknown. First saw smoke while going down the highway at 65mph. Fire was seen coming from the dash and immediately pulled over. The fire quickly spread, basically burning everything inside the vehicle.

- Fort Richardson, AK, USA

I've had two separate occurrences happened to me. The first one I came to a stop sign and made a complete stop, when I went to accelerate my accelerator, brake pedal and steering wheel locked, I had to put the car on park and turn the engine off in the middle of the street, wait a moment, turn it on, it took a while to turn on but then everything went back to normal and I continued my journey. The second time, I was I was driving and slowed down to make a left turn, as I started turning my car completely stopped in the middle of the road, again, everything locked, and I almost got it with oncoming traffic. Once again I had to put the car on park and shut the engine off in the middle of traffic and wait for it to turn back on. I have no idea what is causing this but it's very dangerous and I could've been seriously injured as well as other people.

Radiator cooling fan made horrible noise and started smoking. Fan motor will no longer come on and Jeep overheats

- Wellington, FL, USA

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.

- Glenwood, MN, 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.

- Tunnel Hill, GA, USA

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.

- Staten Island, NY, USA

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.
