Takata recall my 2017 Jeep Renegade seems to do this jerk / stalling thing while driving. Especially when the fuel level starts to get low. While running my car has this loud noise coming from the engine. I remember seeing smoke come from the engine and I only had the car for a year if that.

At a slow rate of speed I pulled into a parking space. Slightly compressing the brake to come to a hault. Instead of braking, the vehicle accelerated into a concrete pillar in front of a building. A red light came on the dash indicating the parking brake, I looked down and it was not on. I pressed the brake again and again accelerated into the concrete pillar rather than stopping.

While I'm driving down the highway my car starts to feel like it is cutting off. So I have to push on the gas in hope that it will stop it from cutting off. It does cut off going down a street and cars have to swerve from hitting me and people are blowing their horns and me and hitting their brakes so that they don't hit me. I had a baby in the car with me. This is something that has been going on for months. This car is not safe at all for no one. It had a recall and it was supposed to be fixed but it's not. It have already been to 4 dealerships and they all say it's fixed they are coming up with something new all the time. This car has scared me.

I have taken my car to the dealer several times because while driving the car will jerk really hard. This happens when I come to a complete stop, when I slow down and pick up the speed or just driving normal. The dealer said it had to imitate the problem so he can know what to fix. So it did imitate the jerk so he wanted to drive it hisself cause he said the way I was driving caused the car to jerk. I told him I had this car 2 years and it has never done that. So it can't be the way I'm driving. I've been driving the same the whole while I've had the vehicle. They have gave the car back to me and it's doing the same thing even worse.. it's frustrating cause they keep saying that it's not doing it. I will never by another car from this dealership again. This is the second vehicle that I have purchased from them with a bad engine and transmission. No help from the dealer just a lemon of a car. The radio kept going blank. They said they fixed that. I got it back it did it again plus the jerking. I've been to them3 timesalready still having the same problem. 😡never will purchase a Dodge Jeep of. O kind again.

Radio power/adjust on own. Multiple/random. Headlights cut out driving in the dark. Both sides effected. Fog lights stay on. Possible link to turning steering wheel, with or without use of turn signal-effect on both headlights simultaneously. Turn signals not working intermittently (neither for lane change or turning, left or right.-multiple occurrences). Tail lights- while backing into driveway one night I realized I had no lights in the back including reverse lights (only acknowledged this problem once by the reflection of my car in my husbands) all lighting issues occurred with lights turned to auto and vehicle in motion. Emergency brake self engaged while in motion. After switching gears and before hitting gas and other times while driving at lower speeds. A message along the lines of-vehicle not on, shift to park and press run/stop button-has shown but only after turning off the vehicle does it show that the parking brake has engaged-multiple occurrences. Passenger seatbelt sensor illuminates at random, nothing on seat (concerned for malfunction in the event of an accident) -have to press the stop/start button several times for the car to turn on (no response in the form of sounds or lights with each attempt prior to the one that starts the vehicle.-remote start:vehicle turns on > try to enter vehicle moments later--car will turn off with touch of handles or press to unlock button-"remote start disabled" -lift gate closed and audibly latched>lights flash, latch releases, door opens itself-may happen 1 or 30 times.check engine: Thermostat replaced, key fob loses connection: Warning "fob has left vehicle" while actually in cup holder, engages parking brake-only way to get rid of message/disengage brake is to power off/on.

Whille driving the vehicle on a city street and making a right turn and descending a small hill the vehicle "service engine light" illuminates, chimes and the vehicle transmission locks into a random gear (typically 3 or 5th gear) and remains in this gear. It happens over half of the time and results in a very unsafe driving condition as the vehicle is unable to accelerate properly or maintain adequate speed depending on the gear in which it is stuck. The vehicle has to Dodge traffic and pull over in a safe place where the vehicle can be shut off and restarted, which in most cases will reset the transmission and allow it to function closer to normal. Fca in conjunction with the dealer have been attempting to remedy this extremely dangerous situation for 6 months. They have replaced the transmission control module, the transmission, the evap canister and the fuel pump. Fca and the dealer are stating this is "normal" function and that the turn or the hill must be extreme operation. This is happening at a slow speed turn of 10-15 mph. I have video recordings which have been shared with fca and the dealer and I would gladly share with NHTSA. As a former vp at a tier one automotive supplier, I can assure you this is not extreme operation and is a significant safety issue which the manufacturer is unwilling to rectify. If the manufacturer is unable to identify the root cause of what could potentially be a software related safety defect it could result in additional Jeep Renegades operating unsafely on public roadways. Please advise where I can send all the video evidence.

I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade, the car is running out of oil, I've taken the car to the dealer multiple times and it seems that the engine keeps burning the oil without any and the car has shut down on me while driving without any alerts reporting me that the car does not have oil, I have to keep checking the oil to make sure is right to avoid the car shutting down on me while I'm driving, is really dangerous that the car is burning the whole motor oil every 500 miles whiout having any leaking or showing low oil alert signs and the dealer can't fix it, the dealer should be able to replace the damage to avoid any accident this car is worse than having an old 1987 car.

All sensor warning sounds have shut off or muted. We have noted that the passenger side seat sensor as well as seat belt sensor sounds and low fuel warning sound has shut off. We've tried sensors, breakers and fuses with no luck. We've tried resetting and troubleshooting but am not having any luck.

Jerking, popping noise and feeling experienced many times over the past couple months time. It's as if it's slipping or popping gears. This is all while in motion both city and highway.

The trunk pop open if you have anything to close to it. After starting the car then driving the car will stall in the middle of the road. You have to put the car in park. And give it a few mins. Then try to restart the car. Then you can go. If you hit the radio buttons to fast it will turn the volume all the way up and will be stuck there till you turn off the car and reset the radio.

Body control module was replaced at 5000 miles. Two weeks after the BCM replacement, the radio system froze twice in one week. Two weeks later, oil pressure light came on then went off immediately after. At 6100 miles, car stalled at around 35mph, warning lights stated that the vehicle must be stopped in order to switch gears. The car was in drive and is an automatic. After this warning, the engine shut off, engine light came on as well as the etc light. Turned the vehicle off, then restarted several times, with the same result. Engine would not turn over, then after about 15 seconds, would turn on with the same warning lights. Was able to restart and drive about 100 ft, engine sputtering and low power, could not get enough speed before stalling again. After restarting again, warning lights did not come on and vehicle drove almost normally for several miles at low RPM, some hesitation when accelerating.

Daughter was driving on North Dakota state highway 9, 2 miles East of kensil North Dakota when a large buck deer, estimated at 200 lbs., jumped into the roadway, she hit the deer square in the front of the vehicle, estimated speed was 52 miles per hour, front driver and passenger air bags did not deploy. She hit her head on the steering wheel.the vehicle is a total loss. The question is why the air bags did not deploy. Could have been more serious injuries, then what she obtained.

Takata recall..my 2017 Jeep Renegade was purchased new in May 2018 had 18 miles on the odometer...on July 20, 2017, while driving on the highway, I had just come thru a work zone; traffic had been stop and go for about 10 miles. As I reached the end of the work zone; the Jeep started jerking as if the gearshift was stuck or shifting uncontrollably, lost power and stopped in the middle of the highway! I had no shoulder or exit T steer towards. This was a dangerous situation. I immediately exited the vehicle called ohp and roadside assistance. After 15 20 minutes, I went back to try start the Jeep and it started! this was the 2nd occurrence. The first time it did not shut off. I have know idea why this is happening. I have contacted the dealer and scheduled it for service.

Multiple warning messages illuminate the dash, such as check engine, check brake, and countless others. Also the car locks up and will not start or will only go in reverse. This happens upon attempting to start the vehicle and also while actively driving it. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership over 6 times for the same issue and multiple software updates have been performed and the tcm has been replaced but the issue keeps occurring. Customer service for the manufacturer has been contacted and a corporate technician has been involved and also an in flight recorder was temporarily installed and it provided numerous error codes but no one is seems to be capable of determining how to fix the issue or what exactly is causing

I was turning into my parking space slowly with the brake slightly depressed. As I pressed further on the brake the car accelerated suddenly. I pressed down hard on the brakes and the car didn't slow down and smacked the retaining wall. The dashboard lit up with the parking brake (did not press) and the car with the lightning bolts. I don't know what just happened.

While in motion at the freeway, low oil pressure light flashing at 10,964 miles randomly when speeded over 50 mph. Dealership installed new engine no start so checked for oil pressure and found 25 psi while cranking. Replaced vvaa assembly engine will still not start. Finding: Crankshaft has severe end play and was eaten away at the block. Suspected: Main bearing to be left loose from factory. Vehicle kept at dealership since March 7th until May 3rd 2018.

The 9-speed transmission causes the vehicle to lunge forward causing the vehicle to be unsafe. I would have rear end a Dodge Ram truck at a stop light; if my foot was not firmly on the brake. The lunging forward, and hard shifting happens randomly primarily on the downshifting, and when it's cold out. Other issues: When using the washer solvent fluid the vapors come back through the cabin, making the cabin air toxic to breath. The front driver side rotor and brake pad had to be changed; because they were deemed defective due to finding metal debris in the brake pad at about 3,100 miles when I reported the noise at the first oil change. Electrical: Randomly the push start will not work, turn signal turning right will not work, and head lights would not automatically come on. This 2017 Jeep Renegade latitude 2.4L has less than 6,000 miles. The transmission, washer solvent, and brakes started before the first oil change at 3,118 miles; however, the washer solvent was not report until later when I found out it is toxic, and I only used it about 3-times, and turned the air off each time. All deemed unable to duplicate except for one time or normal for the washer solvent issue.

There appears to be a design flaw in the 2017 Jeep Renegade in that when the washer fluid is used, the fluid drains next to the air intake and a large amount of vapor is drawn into the main cabin. This was verified by a certified Jeep dealer. Washer solvent fluid can be poisonous and harmful if breathed in. The amount of vapor drawn into the cabin can be reduced by using the recirculate function, but some still leaks in and when driving in poor weather conditions, other vehicles throw salt and other debris on your windshield causing you to immediately use the fluid to clear the windshield and you have no choice but to breath harmful vapors in. In cold weather, if you set the recirculate function on so you won't breath the vapors, then the defrosters won't work and your windshield can fog or ice up. This is a health and/or driving safety issue that needs to be resolved or someone will get sick and/or hurt.
