For the fourth time I took my car to the service at the dealer , and for the fourth time the same problem occurred received a 'service power steering' dashboard message....and the vehicle has no power steering. I have 20,000 miles on my vehicle. After I leave the car for two month in the dealer finally they call me and said my car was reedy as today march 2018 but continues with the same problem . I am of course concerned that my power steering could fail while I am driving the vehicle could cause serious accident. This happen one time already, I'm very frustrate I don't know what to do this point. If some could help me or indicate what to do thanks. Same problem here- except total loss of steering while on highway. Numerous electrical issues, 7 total since 2016, 16 days and counting in service bay and not driveable. This car is a nightmare. Dealer service they don't know how to service
Takata recall there are multiple electrical problems occurring with the vehicle, along with mechanical problems and the car is used to commute to work and home. These issues have never occurred with any other new car we have purchased from a lot. I feel unsafe driving the car with my family unsure of what other problem may occur.
Engine hesitates when trying to accellerate from just stopped to 30mph and gear feels like it is in a lower gear than it is even though it is an automatic. Dashboard completely flickers all areas of operation until finally showing MPH. When I purchased vehicle brand new, it had to be towed into dealer next morning. Dealer stated battery was dead and needed charged as well as there being little to no oil in vehicle. I have never encountered this with a new vehicle before. Also the mesh from the passenger door is separating from the handle as of 1 week from purchase.

Twice in two weeks, while driving, the engine has shut off. The first time is happened was on october 29th, 2017 and the next time was this morning november 9th. The first time happened on a city street while slowing down to make a left hand turn, and the other happened with the foot on the gas trying to merge onto I-90 from the ogden on ramp. The radio and interior electrical systems continue to work, but the engine has shut off. Turning the key won't just turn on the car again. You have to hold it in the on position a few times for it to finally turn on.
I was driving down the highway, speeding up to reach the 70 MPH speed limit, when suddenly my car stalled out and began decelerating. The check engine light came on and the warning "service electronic throttle control " flashed across the screen. The car continued to decelerate so I pulled over and restarted the car.
My 2015 jeep renegade has 43k miles on it and I am on my 3rd transmission, my radiator electrical fan has gone out twice, inside dash flashes warning lights like rear brake like not working, head lights not working, plus the car has shut off twice will driving.
My radiator fan assembly was vibrating while the engine was running. It has now failed. The part has over 4000 back ordered with no eta available.
Cooling fan motor smoking perfusely. And wobbling making a rattling sound, working intermitently.
While sitting at a stop light, smoke began to come out from under the hood and the check engine light came on. I pulled over as soon as came to a parking lot. The radiator cooling fan had melted and was smoking. The vehicle has 40,813 miles on it, and this is covered under the extended warranty. The issue is that there are no replacement parts available from the manufacture. The dealer has another one just like mine that has been there for over a month for the same issue.
The radiator fan is messing up. Moving around in the engine and not working most of the time. The temps in the engine are going higher than they should beucase the fan is failing.
At river oaks chrysler-plymouth-jeep: 7/6/2016 - (1) red lights "on" in upper console that dials 911 and emergency road services. (2) radio display indicates radio needs service; radio replaced by dealership. At northwest chrysler - jeep - dodge - ram: 4/24/2017 - all lights failed while I was driving back from lunch. Back up lights, turn signals - all lights were not working and I drove immediately to closest jeep dealer, near work. The lights were back on after 5 minutes or so, and the dealer could not find a problem. No work was performed on the vehicle. 7/14/2016 - (1) red light still on and dealer never fixed; still an issue as of 8/14/2017. (2) after new radio installed, apps were missing; back up camera not working; bluetooth not working; radio cannot access wi-fi. New 8/14/2017 (will take to helfman dealership today, where I originally purchased the vehicle on 5/5/2015): on or about 8/1/2017; large warning light came on when I started the car (I say large because it was in part of console that shows speed, miles traveled and other customizable screens) indicating that it needed some type service right away, but it disappeared within 5-10 seconds. Will also try to get dealer to explore red lights in upper console that are still present and occurring after more than one year. They appear and stay after I turn the car off and let it rest only a few minutes. Red lights are not present if car sits for several minutes or overnight.

Sometimes when turning the traction control light turns on and the car will not accelerate even when the accelerator is depressed - lasts momentarily then corrects itself
One problem I dealt with was a crack on my front windshield from top to bottom, dealership ship had me back and forth with this ! It doesn't show that something hit it , the other problem is the radio turn off with out me able to turn it back on with everything else going off after that . Meaning I couldn't tell the speed I was going as I was driving , gas level , anything else . After it turn back on the emergency break goes off and I'm on the freeway and almost cost a serous crash. The last this that happen on saturday 6/17/2017 was the same thing with the radio going off and AC not working at all and over heating. Turn off my car and it was leaking from the radiator. Second time I seen it over heat and low on the radiator. I have complain many times to the dealership ship about electronic problems and the emergency break setting off when I'm on the freeway . The front windshield I complain since I got my car . All they did was have me back and forth with it . Also the back set seatbelt sit belts sometimes lock where you can't put it on or it's stuck .
Seeing loss of power loud muffler and undercarriage. Random indicators such as change oil, power locks and doors, 4x4 not working. Heat at 75 degrees blows cold air.
Since I have purchased the car it sometimes stops dead in its track as I start to drive. I am usually going slow when this happens. I took it in and was told the software had to be updated and I had a lot of them. Now, the air broke and all of a sudden the car started overheating. I had to pull over and wait for service. I am waiting to hear back what the problem is now. Considering turning the car in.
Brakes: brakes making noise while car is in motion since purchase; severe rotor wear and malfunction six months after purchase; rotors deeply gouged and glazed blue 12 months after purchase; brake function in serious decline; two third party mechanics confirmed; jeep denies there is a problem and refuses to address. Transmission: (all issues while car is in motion - both while driving forward and in reverse) audible thuds, clunks, "bicycle chain" noise, delay 10-30 seconds when changing gears, gears slipping while in motion (with indicator light), acceleration (due to down shifting) after braking (in stop-and-go traffic) but I'm not stepping on the gas pedal; when starting from a full stop (at a traffic light) I push on the gas pedal but the car doesn't move, then lurches forward and clunks); backing up in reverse, when putting the car into drive and trying to move, the car takes up to 30 seconds to recognize this but still clunks and lurches forward electrical: several indicator lights (such as the icy conditions indicator) worked in the first few months but no longer work; remote entry access is intermittent at best (I have to be practically touching the car with my remote to unlock it); sometimes the car doesn't acknowledge there is remote entry at all; the ability to adjust the drivers side seat (seat recline, seat position) has failed at times (most recently I was on a ferry boat and had put the seat back to nap (car was off/parked) and the seat would not go back up into a regular driving postion - had to restart the car on/off several times before the ability was restored); twice in december 2016 the entire dash computer gave me a warning that there was a system issue (while driving on the freeway) and it shut down and rebooted while I was driving; when starting the car every single lighting dash warning light comes on and flashes over and over (5 mins)
