2020 Jeep Renegade

In April 2022, to my surprise the car first stalled on me while I was driving. The “pressure coolant high” was warning light that appeared on the screen when this happened. To start the car, I had to put it in park and then push the ignition button to get it started again. I continued my drive thinking it was a computer error because my coolant level was normal. Where it should be . A few minutes later, it happened again. And I repeated the same process to get it started. Knowing this was a serious issue , as I was driving with my child in the car, I made an appointment with the manufacturer to have it serviced. Three days later, the dealership “Nothing’s wrong the car. A terminal on the battery was loose and it’s ready for pick up.” A few weeks later, the intermittent stalling began occurring again. However, it’s frequency became increasingly worse. It would stall unexpectedly as I am driving on highways, main roads, side streets; while the start/stop option is on and when it is turned off. All dangerous factors. In addition, to the “pressure coolant high” other warning lights came on: “parking brake alert” , “check engine”, “battery”, “throttle failure”. Then, the engine failed to come on at start-up . I would have to push the ignition button multiple times for the car to start. I took the car back to the dealership on June 29th, 2022 for the second time. After, I having the vehicle for 3 days they informed me that my car needed “a new battery and an oil change.” I had to plead with them to run more diagnostics on the renegade because this is more than a replacement battery issue. My safety, my family’s safety, and the safety of other drivers are at risk because I never know when this car will stall on me as I am driving. Unexpectedly, I can get hit from behind by a driver on the highway who is not expecting me to stop out of nowhere. In researching, I’ve found that has been a known issue since 2015.

Went to pass someone car wouldn’t shift or pick up in speed several times, on interstate as well as on highways. Expressed concern to dealer, didn’t perform testing, cleared codes. Getting gas, vehicle didn’t recognize shut off gas spilled everywhere all over the vehicle and the parking lot Today shut off 4x while driving. 2 times jeep threw vehicle into park via the emergency break while driving. 2 times jeep just shut down and stopped. Had trouble starting aging after just shutting off. Vehicle being towed to another dealer today

The contact owns a 2020 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that after turning the vehicle off and exiting the vehicle, it was later discovered that the vehicle was still running. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who disconnected the battery and reset the vehicle to correct the problem. The contact indicated that the failure continued intermittently. Also, while driving a burning odor was present coming from the vents when turning the air conditioning on. The contact was informed that the burning odor was caused by debris under the vehicle. After removing the debris, the failure continued. Also, while driving the vehicle would pull, jerk and not properly accelerate. The transmission was serviced for the failure. No further information was available. The failure mileage was 20,000.

My 2020 Jeep Renegade would not shut off the evening of 6/22/21. The Jeep Road Service tech tried unhooking the battery but that did not shut it down. He thought that holding the key fob directly over /on the push start button it would shut it down. It did not. He then, at the suggestion of my father removed the 15 amp Fuel fuse and that finally stopped the car. He then towed it to the dealer Paul Bailey Chrysler/Jeep. They noted that the battery cable was loose and I explained that the tow truck person tried the battery at first. They said they reset the RFH ? I believe its located in the computer circuit. They road tested and said they never saw that happen before and I took it home. 6/24/21. So far so good.
