2018 Jeep Renegade

When it is raining, the vehicle shuts down and service warning lights come on. The Service Engine, Service Transmission, Service Hill Assist, Service Parking Break lights come on. The vehicle will start, but won't go into drive and no fuel flows into the engine to give enough power to move. After about 30 minutes, the vehicle might run, but it will shift very hard and the Transmission won't fully engage. After 45 minutes, all the warning lights go off, except for the check engine light, and the car is driveable. This ONLY happens in the rain or after a car wash.

The touch screen has started to delaminate. It is currently still in the vehicle and available to review. The touch screen will randomly start "pressing" buttons. First this is a distraction to the driver as the radio station is changed, calls are randomly placed and setting are changed. Second you have settings that affect the way the vehicle physically brakes and steers that are configured via the Uconnect system, and that system has a defect that can cause those settings to change without the knowledge of the user, that’s a safety issue. Multiple sites have stated that this issue is common on 2017 and newer Jeep products. I will be taking it to a dealership to see what the replacement cost will be but the estimates from phone calls is around $800 to $1600. No warning other than the screen began to bubble and the the random "button pushing" began.

The Radio/ radio screen failed and continues to malfunction. While driving the radio was going bonkers and eventually called 911 by itself. The radio constantly changing stations and settings resulted in losing focus on the road and could have led to an accident. Dealer confirmed radio needs to be replaced. The component has not been inspected. There were no warning lights, or messages. Noticed bubbles on screen in 2020 or 2021. Didn’t know it would go bonkers and behave independent like it did when the problem occurred earlier this year

From the first few months we've had this car it will randomly stall out about 10 times over 5 years while driving on busy streets. We've taken it to a Chrysler dealership and were told it was fine, but that we should get more frequent oil changes. We don't drive this car much (5 years and only 24k miles).It is still doing this and I just checked articles on this model/year and there are both fuel pump UB2 and powertrain control recalls U87 that say they lead to stalling out. But they are not listed as being recalls on our vehicle. I called Chrysler tonight and they said these recalls aren't for our vehicle, only a random software update W20. The car has been taken to a Chrysler dealer a few times. It also had an issue where sometimes we couldn't pump gas (gas pumps wouldn't work) and read online there was a failure in some Jeep gas tanks that they were missing a hole. We looked and there was no visible hole. We took it to the Chrysler dealership and they told us that wasn't a real error and nothing was wrong but when it got it back there was a hole there and we have been able to pump gas since. So I'm not sure that we trust that dealership.

My car shut down and will not restart in High altitudes. This has been on ongoing issue since I purchased it in 2019. The car will sputter and feel like it has no power, then die. When I go to restart, it will not start. We have almost been hit by traffic several times because of this issue. Seems to only happen in high altitude. We live in the mountains, so we climb elevation quite a bit.

The Uconnect 8.4 touchscreen is changing channels, and other features, and in addition, changes the temperature in the car. This is a safety hazard as it is distracting, and is making the vehicle unusable, and uncomfortable to use. I have contacted Chrysler customer care several times and keep getting the run around in getting the Uconnect replaced, and have not gotten a resolution.
