THE ENGINE NOISE ONLY LASTED ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND WENT AWAY. MY HUSBAND DID TELL THE DEALER WERE WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND ALSO JEEP/CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. THERE IS A LIQUED COMING OUT OF THE BRAKES OR CALIPER THAT ITS YELLOW, THAT IS NOT SAVE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE.

THE TRACTION CONTROL ON THIS VEHICLE WILL ENGAGE AT RANDOM WHEN TURNS ARE MADE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND IT'S MOMENTUM WILL CEASE. I BELIEVE THIS BEHAVIOR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT I WAS IN WHICH RESULTED IN THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS MAKING A DOG LEG TURN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, WITH THE LOST OF MOMENTUM I WAS HIT ON THE RIGHT REAR. THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED THE DAY BEFORE AS WELL. THIS ISSUES IS REPORTED BY OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON VARIOUS WEB BOARDS. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NO SERIOUS INJURY.*DT*DT*DT*JB*JB CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB*DT

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, SOME "D" LIGHT CAME ON, & THEN ALL THE LIGHTD CAME ON & THEN I RECIEVED A MESSAGE THAT I NEED TO SWITCH MY GEARS & MY TIRE LOCKED UP & MY CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN MY CAR BACK ON. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PUSH MY START BUTTON, AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT TO TURN BACK ON IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN ON AGAIN THEN I MADE IT HOME. I STARTED READING BLOGS & IT SAID TO CHECK YOUR OIL. I CHECKED IT AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I CHANGED MY OIL LAST MONTH AND BARELY HAVE DRIVEN IT. I HAVE A 2018 RENEGADE WITH 24K MILES ON IT. IF MY CAR DID THIS WHEN I JUMPED ON THE HIGHWAY WOULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. NO REASON WHY ALL MY OIL SHOULD BE GONE
NHTSA complaint #11317191 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
VEHICLE LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. NOT RELATED TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES, BUMPS/VIBRATIONS OR RAIN/MOISTURE. BATTERY WAS TESTED AND EVEN REPLACED. IT WAS SERVICED BY DEALER THE PREVIOUS EPISODE AND WAS TOLD THE SOFTWARE NEEDED UPDATING. YET HERE WE ARE AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN OTHER JEEP RENEGADES WITH SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE A RECALL FOR WIRING HARNESS. ACCORDING TO MOPAR THIS YEAR ISN'T COVERED.
NHTSA complaint #11315895 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ON 3 OCCASIONS SINCE NEW MY CAR HAS CONSUMED ALL OF IT'S OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS REALIZED. THE ONLY INDICATOR IS WHEN TURNING A CORNER, A LOW PRESSURE WARNING ILLUMINATES AND POWER IS CUT TO THE ENGINE, WHICH LEAVES ME UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THEN UPON CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, NO OIL REGISTERS ON THE DIPSTICK. I'VE GOTTEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT 7500 MILE INTERVALS AS REMINDED BY THE ONBOARD SYSTEM. THE OIL IS FULLY GONE BY ABOUT 6000 MILES OR LESS.
NHTSA complaint #11311646 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
IT STARTED FOUR(4) MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE CAR BRAND NEW. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I DECIDED TO TAKE THE BACK ROADS, I COULD NOT USE MY BRAKES. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ECU HAD TO BE CHANGED. A FEW MONTHS LATER MY RADIO WAS RECALLED AND THAT HAD TO BE CHANGED. I'VE HAD A PROBABLY FOUR(4) MONTH BATTLE WITH THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS GOING OFF THEN COMING BACK ON OUT OF NOWHERE. THE FIRST TIME THE DTR WENT OUT THE LIGHTBULB WAS CHANGED AND THE METAL ON THE BASE OF THE LIGHTBULB WAS MELTED OFF.( I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES OF IT THE DEALERSHIP TOOK IT WHEN I SHOWED THEM) I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE SECOND TIME THE LIGHT KEPT GOING ON AND OFF. THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THE RESISTANCE WAS TOO HIGH AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY. THEREFORE I HAD TO WAIT ON PARTS TO CHANGE THE WIRING AND SOCKETS FOR THE DTRS. IT IS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE AND I'M VERY TIRED OF HAVING TO TAKE MY, NOT EVEN, TWO(2) YEAR OLD CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET SOMETHING ELECTRICAL FIXED EVERY FEW MONTHS. I'M NOT SURE OF THE DATE IT ALL STARTED SO I APPROXIMATED.

THE DASHBOARD WAS STATING THAT I NEEDED ESC SERVICE, THEN IT SAID I NEED AIRBAG SERVICE, STEERING SERVICE. I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND MY BRAKES WOULD NOT PUSH ON TO START MY CAR. THEN THE THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED.
