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!!!

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.

Loss of acceleration/power when turning right or left on dry surfaces. Traction control module comes on when this happens. Instrument panel flashes that the back brake lights are out and the right/left hand turn signals not working. Happens when starting vehicle and stays on until you shut off car a few times.
