Complaint crashno fireno injuries0 deaths0 my vehicle is due for an oil change February 11. Many 2017 Jeep Renegades have had a recall issued on them for the vehicle stalling while driving. Car completely stalled and locked up. Brought it to have oil checked and it was not the problem. They also checked battery and alternator which are fine. This is very concerning and have heard this with other Jeep.. car was driving when suddenly and unexpectedly came to a complete halt and on the other occasion it occurred at a stop. The vehicle completely stalled and shutdown.

When turning left from a cold start vehicle stalls and shuts off. It says it needs to shift, but it is already in drive. You must shut the vehicle off and attempt to start it sometimes it takes five minutes for it to start. Now it says there are issues with the lights, like they are out but they are actually working. No work has been done on it before. Currently at the dealership. Have video.

The contact took the vehicle to healey Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram (557 NY-52, beacon, NY 12508; (845) 831-1148) and was informed that the oxygen sensor was damaged due to rodents. The part was replaced.

I was driving my car as an automatic not shifting it. All of a sudden the info section says down shift as I was turning, I was in motion the whole time, I did not stop to turn. And it dies. Right in the road while driving. I have looked and my VIN doesnt come up as a recall but this oh my god I was lucky I was on a back road to be ok, if I had been on a busy road or interstate my family and I would be dead. What is wrong with it. I need this fixed asap. This is my only means of transportation. Help me!!!!!!!

Indicator lamp illuminating say that all my lights head lights, turn signals, back up light break lights and turn signals are all out, while driving down the street.

This doesn't matter if my vehicle is turned on or off. When stationary the Jeep Renegade will not lock or unlock from the key fob. Previously the key fob would work but I would have to repeatedly push the lock/unlock button. I have replaced the battery on the key fobs to no better results.

Malfunction indicator lights come on indicating multiple failures at same time. Will usually reset after I turn off engine. My understanding is there is already an active recall for this issue but my VIN is not covered. When the indicator lights go on, I am driving, once in a parking lot, once on a city street, and once on the freeway.

The engine ignition coils had gone bad, causing the car to break down while running errands in town during this covid situation. The car only had about 38,000 miles on it and I'm the original owner. I was able to get it into a dealer same day & they replaced a coil & spark plug- getting the car back on the road. They also replaced the stereo due to electrical problems. This cost was partially covered through my Toyota care warranty. Other problems:the transmission also has trouble finding the right gear when accelerating & often jerks or stalls. There is also a vibration/ rattle sound coming from the engine compartment in front of the passenger side. My dealership doesn't want to help figure out the other problems, if the car is operating. They are clearly too busy to invest the necessary time & probably are receiving multiple complaints like mine. And I just read an article about fca are considering a full recall of the 2.4 tiger shark models. Very disappointed in Jeep quality and service.
