2016 Jeep Renegade

3 WEEKS AGO I HEARD A WOBBLING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING. IT WAS A DAY LATER I WAS ABLE CATCH WHAT IT WAS MAKING THE NOISE WHICH IS THE COOLING FAN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP NOT WANTING TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF OVERHEATING. THE ISSUE WAS CONFIRMED THERE AND AFTER TWO FALSE ARRIVAL DATES I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THY FINALLY ADMITTED THERE WAS NO DATE FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW FAN. I AM NOW PAYING FOR A CAR I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL GET BACK. MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES AND THE OLDER CAR I AM USING NOW IS NOT VERY RELIABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF TRAVEL.

THIS CAR IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. THE ACCELERATOR CHOOSES WHEN TO WORK. MY CAR HAS 35000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I AM TURNING OR ON THE HIGHWAY OR JUST DRIVING NORMALLY, PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR IT HAS A TWO TO THREE SECOND DELAY BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE. THE DEALERSHIPS WON'T HELP ME AND IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS WITH MY THREE YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR! MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO AS OF TODAY I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR FAN FOR THE THIRD TIME. IT HAS BURNED UP TWICE BEFORE! HOW UNFAIR TO BUY A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO HAVE THESE OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSES AND SAFETY ISSUES!!! THIS HAS TO BE FIXED.

RADIATOR COOLING FAN MAKE NOISE AND STOP WORKING DURING SLOW SPEED CITY DRIVING. ENGINE OVERHEATED. ONLY 6,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. TOOK THE CAR FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. IT'S BEING SITTING AT THE DEALER'S SERVICE AREA FOR 42 DAYS WITH NO EXPECTED REPAIR DATE. AS PER DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER, THE REPLACEMENT PART IS OUT OF STOCK WITH NO ETA FROM MANUFACTURER.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW. IT HAS 45,000 MILES AND WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND WAS DRIVING TO GET SOME LUNCH FROM WORK AND THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING. NOW I HAVE REALIZED THE ISSUE IS THAT THE RADIATOR FAN HAS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A NATION WIDE PROBLEM EFFECTING MANY PEOPLE.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE SEPTEMBER 29 2017. MY 1.3 YEAR OLD RENEGADES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. CALLED TO MAKE APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY WITH DEALER. 5 MINUTES LATER THE THE TEMPERATURE SPIKED IN ABOUT 1 SECOND TO AROUND 265 DEGREES. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE GAVE NO INDICATION OF A RISING TEMPERATURE AND LITERALLY SHOT UP. THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN LOCKED UP. PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL GET REPAIRED AND DONT KNOW HOW MUCH ENGINE DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED. SEEMS TO BE A NATIONAL ISSUE AS THERE ARE OTHER RENEGADES THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS FOR THE SAME PARTS AND HAVE BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR MONTHS. WISH JEEP WOULD GIVE ME A REFUND AS VEHICLE ONLY GAS 11800 MILES AND POTENTIALLY GAS CATASPROPHIC DAMAGE. SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FAV SHOULD BUY VEHICLE BACK. TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS USELESS AS IT ONLY SHOWS THE LEVEL AT NORMAL AND FROM ONE DEGREE TO THE NEXT SHOT TO MAX. ONCE IT WENT DOWN A FEW DEGREES. DROPPED BACKED DOWN TO NORMAL RANGE EVEN THOUGH WAS STILL IN 260 DEGREE RANGE. FAULTY AND UNRELIABLE. MOST LIKELY FCS WILL SAY ENGINE IS FINE THEN IT WILL BREAK DIE DUE TO WARPED OR CRACKED CYLINDER OR HEAD GASKET. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET IN SEMI STEADY TRAFFIC. GOING IN A STRAIGHT LINE
