There is a recall on the 2017 renegade but somehow my jeep isn’t on the list even though I am having the exact issue - they think the oil pump isn’t working correctly. The vehicle just stops driving when in drive. Which is terrifying. It happened twice and we contacted FCA twice to have them do nothing. They said we have to drive the vehicle for 2000 miles in order to read the oil level - which is nuts. I can’t get in a vehicle that just stops working while driving, it’s a huge liability. It’s been sitting at the service department in a dealership for a year and a half and no one will help.
My fog light has now caught fire and burned twice. The entire assembly has melted to pieces. This is a safety concern and can result in someone's vehicle burning to the ground and possible injury to someone. This is not ok that my fog lights are catching fire like they are doing that is from the manufacturer. I'm being held responsible for repairs also that's not ok as I'm not at fault for this occurring.
My car is stalling as I drive. It is completely shutting off. I had recall w84 performed. The problem is believed to be the recall UB2. This has been confirmed by a dealer. I am afraid for my life and believe that this defect will likely cause a crash.

My vehicle has suddenly shown warning lights for brake light out, head light out, both turn signals out, running lights out. Basically saying all my lights suddenly burnt out. There is a recall on 2017 Jeep renegades for the exact problem I’m having but it doesn’t show my vehicle included, it says no unrepaired recalls. They have determined this can cause an accident as the lights are not really out, and so the driver has no idea when the lights actually do go out. This is dangerous
Transmission seems like its slipping when driving. Car jerks forward.. Lurging forward.. I had a car that had transmission problems so im aware of how car acts when its transmission problem. Also electrical problem. Car sound when music is playing jumps from all speakers sound coming out to just one speaker the passenger side speaker in front..
The car decides when it wants to start and start. The car will shut off and lock up while driving and has put me in multiple dangerous situations. The check engine light turns on with the airbag light when it will not start. When it finally decides to start there is no cel on. Also, the bottom fog light went out due to faulty design and gasketing.
Manual trans 1.4l. For approximately the last year, I've gotten an intermittent 'service electric parking brake' message. I never had it looked at, I disconnected the battery and then it would go away. Also the car completely stopped turning off from accessory power mode. I couldn't just roll down the windows, I had to crank the car or the power wouldn't turn back off. Recently had check engine light with code p0807 'clutch position sensor circuit 1 low' showing. The next day, car was difficult to start. It took several tries pushing the start button and messing with clutch before it would turn over. I took it to a shop (not dealer) and they couldn't find anything or replicate the codes and told me it was a glitch. Next day I get the epb light again and used my code reader and it was showing p0807 and ABS code c1220-86. So I located said switch and unplugged it, and boom. All the problem codes popped up again and I was able to turn the car off like normal. I removed the sensor and opened the cover on it. The carbon film inside was missing a section. Tested with a meter and the sensor lost voltage when sweep arm inside reached the broken spot. This is a problem that could leave you stranded somewhere if you didn't have the tools to reach and jump out this sensor. And of course clutch parts are not covered by warranty. Even though this is an obvious factory defect seeing as it's on the inside of a sensor that I couldn't reach without removing the panel under the steering wheel.
Nothing happened tinkering with this site to learn it
The fog lights almost caught fire. The factory bulbs started smoking and I had to unplug them.
Vehicle will stall out when driving, going less than 40 miles per hour. System does not shut down. Does not seem to be a battery or electrical issue. Had this happen 3 times in a month. Pulled over into park & had to restart the car. Low oil pressure light came on. Took in for a routine oil change. Mechanic referred me to dealership as they could only determine a low oil consumption/ pressure. Terrible knocking sound in front as well. Very concerned as other jeeps have been recalled for similar issues, but my 2017 renegade latitude is not under the recall. Huge safety concern.

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.
