The vehicle was stationary. I was listening to music while on my break when I got a warning that the air bags needed to be serviced. Then it cycled through all the components telling me everything needed to be serviced. The radio shut off. The coolant went to high then back down to low. The fuel said it needed to be shut off. The windows would not work. The key fob would not work. I could not get the car to start or shut the lights off. I could not get the car out of gear. It was sitting in a parking lot. Then everything went dark except the parking lights. This car is only three months old. And has 1100 miles on it. I had a previous problem with it losing power while I was driving.

I purchased my 2018 Jeep Renegade May 29, 2018 at the Dodge, thompson, Chrysler dealership in baltimore, md 21224. On December 9,2018 in the early morning my vehicle caught fire. Luckily me and my two young sons were not in the vehicle when the fire ignited. The fire ended up smoldering from lack of oxygen because my windows and doors were shut an locked. I contacted the Chrysler manufacture and an investigation is being done. The fireman that came said it looks like an electrical fire due to faulty wiring.

2018 Jeep Renegade that is only 8 months old was parked along a street in blacksburg, va at night. The car had been parked for at least 1 hour, maybe a bit longer. It caught fire on 11/9/18 while our son was inside his friend's apartment. Someone noticed it and alerted him. The smoke from the fire was black and had the smell of an electrical fire. Car was towed to a dealer in christiansburg, va where it is now. The dealer is saying the fire probably started from leaves in the undercarriage in the are where the manifold meets the exhaust then traveled to the underhood area. They are refusing a warranty or safety repair.

Purchased vehicle new from dealer stock in patchogue, NY, with trailhawk trim. Had it a little over a month, and have less than 1000 miles on it. Within the 1st week the windshield cracked and dealer refused to replace it even though it had a wave in it at eye level. Have seen other complaints about this online. At same time, we noticed a problem with climate control and dealer couldn't get us in to look at it for about a month. What happens is after the car is shut off and temp is left at say 72 in all zones, often when you restart the vehicle later or the next day it is no longer set to 72 and may be blasting superhot air at 90 or jump to low ac or anything in between. Its a completely random temperature having nothing to do with outside air temp. Also, doesn't happen with every restart. This car has the auto climate control feature too, but the issue happens whether we leave it on auto or manual. We also checked to make sure no one was knocking into the control with legs or handbags etc. Dealer service manager says this is "just how Jeep manufactured it", and "the Jeep engineers deliberately want the temperature to be random because its not a priority". this is my third Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicle, and the problem has not happened in either of the other two, so that it sounds to me like just a dealer being lazy and not wanting to fix the problem. I also called Jeep customer care and got little help so far. However, it is clear to me no engineer would ever design a car to be so deliberately inconvenient and potentially dangerous where you have to spend the first few moments in your car fiddling with digital temperature controls. Ever car I have ever driven stores your last temperature and resumes that temperature when you return. Did I mention we are extremely dissatisfied with this vehicle as a result and have already told many friends to avoid Jeep. Terrible.
