On 11/28/2024 my 2029 Jeep Renegade Multi Air Actuator failed we had just finished our drive when it failed. It spit oil everywhere and melted spark plug caps and cracked the value covers. We waited 4 months to get the part as it was on back order with thousands and we are still waiting on the value covers to this day. I PAY PAYMENTS monthly on a car I cannot drive and waiting on the parts because they are back ordered. I have spent thousands of dollars on parts and would hope thus would be a recall. If we were actively driving when it failed my family and I. Could have been badly injured.

My vehicle is experiencing the same exact engine issue that a technical bulletin has been issued for. The bulletin is for affected vehicle manufactured after 2021 which would qualify for warranty reimbursement. My vehicle is a 2019 with 54k miles on it. The problem started at appx 48k miles 4 months ago. The Bulletin number is TSB 09-006-23 (Low oil Pressure) When the check engine light turns on the car will drive normal then at times the jeep will not go over 3300 RPMs causing a lack of power to accelerate. I have experienced situations where I cannot accelerate while driving or accelerate from a stop while trying to merge on to a highway. The bulletin is issued for a large repair. Please review this failure of parts to trace back to the appropriate years affected. This could result in a vehicle crash.

P1DB7 Check engine light code. Almost every other new Jeep seems to have this issue and just reading about it online the problem is so bad one person had a brand new car and on the drive home from Jeep dealer got a check engine light but that’s only because it was new under warranty.

Without warning, the Jeep will flash a number of error messages and the engine will immediately shut off. The Jeep can be stopped, placed in park, and it starts right back up as though nothing is wrong. This has happened a few times, usually without incident. However, a few days ago, it occurred while driving 70MPH down the interstate, forcing me to cross several lanes after the vehicle shut itself off, without power, in order to pull to a stop and restart the vehicle. This could have led to a serious collision at high speeds. Error messages that flash up include: high coolant temp, 4WD needs serviced, engine service light, etc. But as soon as vehicle is restarted, none of these error messages reoccur.

2019 Jeep Renegade 4WD 65,000+ Miles at the time of repair, the Renegade was initially brought into the dealership for shaking and rattling noise from the front-end engine area. The dealership service inspection found the fan blade cracked and missing pieces and the fan was unbalanced, and recommended replacing the cooling fan assembly. Once they replaced the coolant fan motor and removed the front fascia, they found trans cooler lines leaking at the cooler joint and recommended replacing the cooler and lines. After all the parts arrived and with an oil change, the total invoice was over $3,000. The component that failed/malfunctioned is the cooling fan assembly. The vehicle in its damaged state was said not to cool and cause engine damage. The dealership confirmed the problem. The dealership inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any notifications of the problem it was brought into the dealership due to the sound/vibration of the engine. This fan issue is similar to the recall on all 2015-2017 Jeep Renegades that was issued after a lawsuit was dismissed because Fiat Chrysler (FCA US) offered to replace the cooling fans for free or reimburse Renegade customers for engine cooling fan repairs.

My car is dying after running for awhile. I’ve had a multipoint inspection done, and everything was in order so I’m not sure what’s wrong. It just cuts off while I’m driving, and no engine lights are on. If I try to start it again, it usually turns back on, but it makes me do it several times some times.
