2017 Jeep Renegade

WHEN AM DRIVING AT 40 MPH MY CAR PULLS WHEN I LET GO OF THE GAS OR WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. IT ALSO PULLS AT HIGHER OR LOWER SPEEDS. IT'S NOT ALWAYS AT 40 MPH. ALSO WHEN AM IN DRIVING MY FORWARD COLLISION WARNING TURNS OFF JUST FOR NO REASON AND ON THE DASH IT SAYS IT'S TURNED OFF. STAYS TURNED OFF FOR AT LEAST 1 MIN OR 2. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND WHERE THE PROBLEM PRESISTES FROM.

THE MOTOR QUIT RUNNING WHILE TURNING ONTO AN ON-RAMP (25MPH), AND THE READOUT ON THE DASH SAID ' LOW OIL PRESSURE '. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT IT IN PARK, AND PRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH THE START BUTTON. IT STARTED UP AFTER A COUPLE OF TRIES, AND I DROVE ONTO THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT IT REOCCURRING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON 01/11/2021.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING, OFTEN AFTER MAKING TURNS, AND IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL STREETS AT SLOWER SPEEDS, AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NORMAL AND A "FEATURE" OF THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE IF OIL LEVELS GET TOO LOW. WE REGULARLY CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3,000 - 4,000 MILES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO OIL LEAKS DETECTED.

MY CAR STALLED AND TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS IN MOTION TURNING FROM ONE ROAD ONTO ANOTHER IN JULY 2020 AND AGAIN 2X ON DEC 23RD, 2020 WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IN JULY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" FOR THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF IF THE OIL IS LOW. IT HAD BEEN 4,729 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE DONE BY THE JEEP DEALER WITH SYNTHETIC OIL (WHICH IS GOOD FOR 6,000 MILES). WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHECKED AFTER IT STALLED ON DEC 23RD THE OIL WAS 4 QUARTS LOW! THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR OTHER 2017 JEEP RENEGADES WITH THE 2.4L ENGINE, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL CAR FILED ON JULY 21ST, 2020 FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

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.

I HAVE HAD THE JEEP RENEGADE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THE CAR HAS STARTED TO JERK INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 30 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CHANGED GAS TYPES AND GOTTEN NEW AIR FILTERS, ETC. WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT SEEMS THAT FROM READING THE REVIEWS ON THIS SITE, THERE IS SOME COMMON EXPERIENCES FROM OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS. AT THIS POINT IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A DANGER TO THE DRIVER BUT CURIOUS TO KNOW IF IT WILL LEAD TO A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM LONG TERM. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS/JERKS... WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE HESITATES AND SHIFTS WHILE TAKING OFF FROM 26 MPH. STALLS EXTREMELY HARD TO SHIFT GEARS. IT SCARES ME THAT IT'S GOING TO TURN OFF OR I MIGHT HIT SOMEONE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I CAN'T CONTROL VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS. THIS HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME AND I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE NOT EVEN FOR A YEAR. *TR
