Sudden stop entrance to an exit ramp. The engine stalled and started leaking the fluid caused some and flames - fire department had to be called. . Had to replace the engine for approx. $6600 We are still waiting on parts for the seat belts this has been over a year with jeep. The parts are backordered. The seatbelts come undone constantly on both the driver and passenger sides. Parts are $330 and labor is approx. $400 total $730. There are 90000 Jeep Wranglers with this same issues but they were recalled. We can't even get the parts it's been over a year. Axle on left side of jeep was broke -took jeep to have serviced for oil and tire rotation. Service person found that the axel was broke. Cost $1500 Service man stated the axel was like a straw.

1st issue was the a/c unit which mechanic said was a factory defective part. Replaced under warranty & now is not working again. 2nd issue is coolant & flushing system. replaced las year & mechanic said it was a factory defective part. This was 2 different mechanics. I just had my car overheat on me again nearly a year later with sludge in the tank AGAIN. I AM PAYONG WAYYYYY TOO MUCH MONEY for this to be on me again! I need repairs done at your cost and a car to drive.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving 35-36 MPH, the vehicle made an abnormally loud whining sound. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where an unknown software update was performed; however, the failure recurred while driving 49 MPH. The contact stated that the engine revved significantly as if the transmission was shifting to a higher gear. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Tyson Motor (1 SW Frontage Rd, Shorewood, IL 60404), where it was test-driven, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,500.

I was driving and all of a sudden the “Service Transmission” light came on and my car would not go past the first gear. The light went off and my car went back to normal. It has been doing this on and off for about 4 days. I took it to Landers Chrysler Jeep and Dodge of Norman Oklahoma and they did a diagnostic. They said it needs a software update but they refused to fix it. I took it to a mechanic and they stated that there is nothing mechanically wrong with the transmission, it is completely software related.

The component that failed is the wheel lug bolts. The cap of each of the 20 lug bolts is of a metal alloy that expands under normal driving conditions, making it impossible to remove the lug bolts by an ordinary operator in the event of a tire failure. The car dealership identified this problem during tire rotation service and stated that the problem OEM lug bolts are endemic to Jeep vehicles. This was the first instance that I was aware of this problem. The dealership require the consumer to pay for replacements wholly made of steel. MOPAR charges over $11/lug bolt. The cost of a full set of 20 lug bolts is over $200. Why doesn't the manufacturer or dealer recall and replace the lug bolts at no cost to the consumer?

The contact’s daughter owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, she was notified that the front passenger’s side seat belt was not securely buckled. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer, and it was confirmed that the seat belt buckle strap was inoperable. The vehicle was not repaired due to parts not being available and the cost of the repair. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V680000 (Seat Belts). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.
