2020 Jeep Renegade

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.
