2017 Jeep Renegade

The windows on the Jeep Renegades over extend when putting them up, thereby tearing out the top of the housing causing leaks and possible electrical damage in the door panels. This also creates a whistle noise coming through the torn housing when driving. The AC works harder to heat and cool the cabin because of the poor air seal, causing drivers to burn more fuel and stress the components of the vehicle. I called my service department and got quoted me over $800 for two window seal repairs. He also told me that he see this on nearly every Jeep Renegade that comes in for service. This is a problem Jeep should be aware of as it is costing their customers expensive repairs. I purchased this car (2017 Jeep Renegade Latitude 2.4) November 2021 and noticed the problem after the purchase so, this problem was existing prior to my ownership.

Engine uses excessive amounts of oil. We took the car in twice to do an oil consumption test, which resulted in one quart per 1,000 miles. The dealer says this is normal. This is a five year old car with 60,000 miles on it, which is average. We have other FCA products that consume imperceptible amounts of oil between scheduled oil changes (every six months or 10,000 miles). I have old cars with hundreds of thousands of miles that don't consume oil to this extent. Maybe it's normal for this vehicle or, more precisely, this engine, but it is not normal for the average car.

Went to start my jeep, started & stalled. Oil pan had rusted & all oil came out with no evidence from instrument panel that I had a problem at anytime before or after. When I called the dealership I bought it from they said they seen a lot of this. Was no longer under warranty as it only covered up to 60,000 miles. It would cost me out of pocket a little over $500. Took it to my private mechanic to fix as my experience with Jeep Service departments is there is no service. I'm not sure of the difference in price between my mechanic & the dealer.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that she would have to make frequent stops to refuel the vehicle as the fuel level would quickly become low. A dealer was contacted and made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 71,000.

My engine cooling system is malfunctioning. My safety is at risk and can put others at risk while I am driving because the engine can permanently malfunction I lose control of my car. I have let the dealer at my local center Costa Mesa California Jeep Dealership and the representative did not help with my situation. The dealership installed a new engine due to a recall letter I received for my vehicle. I believe its the dealerships responsibility to fix the engine cooling system problem since they have just replaced a new engine on my vehicle. The problem first appeared since the day I picked up my vehicle from the dealership. I smelled coolant liquid from the first day and advisor just said that its normal to smell coolant because I just got a new engine installed for my vehicle.

Jeep was running fine then stopped turned off Vehicle, filled gas tank with $25, went to start Jeep, horn started blaring, panel started lighting up like a Christmas tree. Jeep wouldn't start. Called a tow truck they had to disconnect battery and had my Jeep towed to home. Waiting to take to dealership to see what caused the issue.
