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.
2017 Jeep Renegade engine complaints
Page 5 of 10: complaints 101 to 130 of 274, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Oil consumption problem (oil completely empty) the car stalled while driving in the neighborhood. Started acting up and being sluggish while on the highway. No sensor, engine light, or notice to add oil came on. When the car stalled, checked the oil and it was completely empty. Has happened more than once. ,
While driving car just shuts off. Must stop and put it in park to restart it
Burns 3+ quarts of oil every 2500 miles. When oil gets low it causes the vehicle to stall. I have been sitting in traffic and had my vehicle stall 3 times. I am using full synthetic 0w-20, getting oil changes every 6,000 miles and I still have to put oil in it regularly. It also slams gears around 27-29mph regularly, this may be associated to the oil consumption because I notice it more frequently when the oil is low.
My engine is burning oil. Before I need an oil change my car is showing low oil pressure and results in the engine being cut off when I'm driving. I check the oil gauge and it's at an unsafe level. Two quarts of oil needed to be added to be within the same range. This is not the first time it's happened. Going on the 4 event of consecutive oil changes now.
Oil consumption issue uses more oil than I feel it should. No car unless really high mileage should use more than a quart maybe between oil change I've already put in 2.5 in this oil change.
My 2017 jeep renegade burns a tremendous amount of oil. When the oil is too low the car just shuts off while turning or accelerating too fast.
Have had vehicle since 2018. For 2 years, I have had 3 cylinder misfires (with the last one about to happen at any moment) and my vehicle has stalled while driving (once on the freeway) about 8 times. I had to pull over each time to a complete stop. The vehicle stating "vehicle cannot change gears until stopped." once I turned off the engine, it takes about five minutes to restart the engine. The cylinder misfires always begin with aggressive jerking while vehicle is in motion. Lasting a few months, leading to aggressive shaking once misfired. On occasion, while vehicle is stopped, seat belt will also not buckle and in the last two years seat belt has also come unbuckled twice while vehicle is in motion.
I was driving my car as an automatic not shifting it. All of a sudden the info section says down shift as I was turning, I was in motion the whole time, I did not stop to turn. And it dies. Right in the road while driving. I have looked and my VIN doesnt come up as a recall but this oh my god I was lucky I was on a back road to be ok, if I had been on a busy road or interstate my family and I would be dead. What is wrong with it. I need this fixed asap. This is my only means of transportation. Help me!!!!!!!
For the second time my jeep renegade has shut off on me while once was on the interstate, second going up an incline. The first time was no warning and about wrecked due to being on an interstate that had road construction with no edges to pull over, all while my son was in the car with me. Both times no oil on dipstick
The car seems to want to stall when driving along. Had to press on the gas and go above the speed limit so as not to stall. If I put it in gear and press on the gas I have to keep pumping the gas peddle for the engine to get the gas. Also if oil is low, the car just shuts off has happened to me 3 times, the sensor (dummy light) does not warn you that your oil is low. I do not drive my car far as I am afraid it will stall in the middle of the highway as I go to work.
I have had the oil changed using the recommended weight at the recommended times/mileage and have run out of oil before the next scheduled oil maintenance for the appropriate miles/time causing me to stall. This has happened for a total of three oil changes and started around my 2nd year with the vehicle at 30000 miles. The stall happens on hills or when accelerating quickly or going around corners quickly. I lose pressure and sputter and stall. It has been dangerous a few times already
The low oil light came on after rounding a corner. About two weeks later low oil light came on upon braking while leaving the parking lot and the engine stalled. This occurred two more times while stoping at red traffic lights. The next day on the way to get the oil changed the behavior was the same. If the jeep deaccelerated too quickly, or went around a sharp corner the low oil light came on and the the engine stalled. After the first stall, that happened at a stop sign, the engine had difficulty starting. I needed to try three times before it started. After the oil change it is ok. The dealership told me it is normal that some engines need to have oil added, one quart, between oil changes. I told them that was not true and this was an unsafe defect.
After refueling the engine stalled when I drove onto the highway. After restarting, the engine shut down. A light came in "vehicle must be in park or start". I put on 4 way flashers. After several stalls, my jeep restarted. This is the second time this has happened.
The engine ignition coils had gone bad, causing the car to break down while running errands in town during this covid situation. The car only had about 38,000 miles on it and I'm the original owner. I was able to get it into a dealer same day & they replaced a coil & spark plug- getting the car back on the road. They also replaced the stereo due to electrical problems. This cost was partially covered through my toyota care warranty. Other problems:the transmission also has trouble finding the right gear when accelerating & often jerks or stalls. There is also a vibration/ rattle sound coming from the engine compartment in front of the passenger side. My dealership doesn't want to help figure out the other problems, if the car is operating. They are clearly too busy to invest the necessary time & probably are receiving multiple complaints like mine. And I just read an article about fca are considering a full recall of the 2.4 tiger shark models. Very disappointed in jeep quality and service.
When I was driving from a long road trip of over 600 miles the service transmission light went on then a the service engine light I was going up a small hill when this happen I lost power and my car did not want to go but when I put the car in park and turned it off to check under the hood I did not see nothing lose or leaking after about 10 minutes got back in turned the car on and the lights where gone and started to drive normal I still had about 400 miles to go and no problem. Now on the way back 4 days later drove good for 450 miles no problems till the both lights came on at the same time and I had to pull over I did the same thing turned off the car and then back on after a few minutes the lights where off drove good for 100 miles then it came back on pulled over turned the car off and on and the light went off and I have not had a issue yet with it. I did not now you need it pictures or else I would have taken some 1st time filing a complaint
Within 6 months of purchasing new car,the computer needed to be replaced in dash-uses 1 qt. Oil every 2000 miles.ive complained and complained to no avail-dealerships all say its 'normal' now.the transmission is slipping .-when u go from a low speed to a higher speed. I took it to dealership and they think it needed an update ?also,oil was leaking around transfer case;I noticed spots on concrete when parked and the liquid was clear. This car has literally been a hunk of junk!
2017 jeep renegade has an oil issue where it shuts off the engine with no warnings and when investigating the issue it was found that there was no oil in the engine and there was an oil change done less then 2 weeks prior to this issue it has happened 3 times now where there was no oil found in the car and there were no warnings about the oil level or pressure being low.
Vehicle was in motion and all of a sudden loss of power, vehicle will not accelerate until you get off accelerator and then it will accelerate when you depress the pedal. Has happened multiple times.
I got gas at a local gas station and as soon as I pulled out started to notice hesitation and jerking from the vehicle. Pressing the gas I noticed it wasn't shifting gears as good and engine light flashed but didn't stay on. After 2 days the problem did not end and finally engine light was consistently on. I could notice the vehicle wasn't driving as good in cruise control and would constantly jerk and vibrate. While the vehicle was not in motion a consistent jerk was present. I drive to work on the interstate and going up hills I began to notice a lag in the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle loss motive power without warning. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle operated as intended. The vehicle was taken to jim click jeep (701 w auto mall dr, tucson, az 85705) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a cylinder number 4 misfire. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 73,889.
I was jumping ooff my gf car for the 10th time over a course of time, this time for some reason my jeep caught fire and now is totaled and it also caused her car to catch fire. So not only did it damage my jeep but damaged her car as well.
I was on my way home from work on july 15, 2020. I stopped to to fuel the car and continued on my route home. After about 1 1/2 miles, I was decelerating from exiting the spur 601 to make a right turn onto the marshall overpass, when all of the sudden the car lost power and started to shake really bad. The idle was extremely low and could make it up the hill and overpass. It didn't stall, but nearly did several times while at a stop light. The car would shake badly when it reached 30 MPH and again at 40 MPH. Took car to dealership next morning thinking it was bad fuel, but was found to be bad ignition coils. The coils were replaced, but issue with car nearly stalling while making turns or hesitation to accelerate after a stop is still present. My car is not part of any of the recalls, but is having the same issues that the majority of owners of these cars. Although my car has not actually stalled yet, pretty close though, I'm afraid of it happening and someone crashing into me. I'm very cautious when pulling into traffic since it's slow in acceleration. It performs poorly going through mountain ranges, especially when climbing. It also is jerky at times when shifting gears, especially after reaching around 30 MPH. The car only has 32,000 miles and should be performing better than it is now. Very disappointed with jeep.
Car stopped and totally shut off in the middle of an intersection. Luckily a man stopped and pushed my car. I had to shut it off and restart it. This would have been potentially fatal in a busy intersection.
Cooling fan has been replaced twice in the last year and now on 3rd time going out
My 2017 jeep renegade is not under the recall but it is doing the exact same thing as the recalled 2017 jeep renegade's ! I can not understand how my vehicle is not covered? This is extremely confusing and frustrating!! It is stalling and oil is leaking same recall as 4x4 and flexfuel renegades... My daughter was driving it and got stuck and it caused her heat exhaustion while waiting in vehicle for assistance! Our city is in a heat advisory!!
When I turn the vehicle on and start driving, if I slow down and begin to accelerate it gives a warning stating low oil pressure and then the vehicle will stall while I'm driving. This happens when I am going anywhere from 15 to 20 miles per hour. The vehicle burned through 3 quarts of oil between oil changes. It also slams into gear when running low on oil.
Vehicle stalls out in the middle of driving on both streets and highways. Code u18 was what came up with this particular problem. Fear of loss of life due to stalling out is a major concern for me and my family.
The engine stalls out at stops and when slowing down on city streets. Then when you try and restart it, starter is slow then finally cranks over. This is the 2017 jeep renegade sport 2.4l 2wd. The car has 58k miles on it.
When I started my jeep this morning it started shaking really bad and the service engine light came on. The shaking stop so I chanced it to work. It felt like it was losing power and would rattle a little. Anytime I made a turn it felt like the jeeps tires were sliding. It's taking a lot longer to pick up speed and seems to be forcing itself into gear. In the last few days though my lights have been flickering while driving and even the radio went out for a few hours. The outlets (old cigarette lighter outlets ) stop working too. Don't know if it's related to the rest but it did oddly start in the same time frame.
