2017 JEEP RENEGADE WITH 42,000 MILES HAS FAULTY IGNITION COILS, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MISFIRE, AND STALL WHILE DRIVING. AFTER OUR JEEP RENEGADE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND MISFIRING, I STARTED RESEARCHING POSSIBLE ISSUES. SHORTLY AFTER THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATED A PROBLEM, WHICH DISABLED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IN THE VEHICLE DURING A SNOWSTORM HERE. UPON PULLING THE CEL CODE, WE FOUND A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2 AND REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AS THIS IS A TYPICAL SOLUTION TO MINOR IGNITION ISSUES. UPON REPLACEMENT, I NOTICED ONE PLUG WAS BADLY FOULED AND CORRODED WITH ANOTHER HAVING SLIGHT FOULING. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE SPARK PLUGS, THE VEHICLE ACTED OK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THEN STARTED MISFIRING AGAIN. WE SWAPPED THE 2 AND 4 COIL WITH EACH OTHER RESULTING IN THE MISFIRE MOVING TO CYLINDER 4. THIS LEXUS TO REPLACE THE IGNITION COILS SOLVING THE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT, AND UPON FURTHER RESEARCH WE ARE FINDING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RENEGADE IGNITION COILS FAILING PREMATURELY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MISFIRE AND STALL. THIS IS A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING COULD VERY LIKELY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. ADDITIONALLY THE FAILURE OF THE 4WD WITH ACEL PUTS THE DRIVER AT FURTHER RISK OF BEING STUCK OR CAUSING A WRECK WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED.

MY 2017JEEP RENEGADE BURNS OIL AND IT HAS EVER SINCE I GOT IT. WELL BEFORE THE SCHEDULED TIME TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, THE OIL RUNS SO LOW MY CAR WILL START DYING AND STALLING RANDOMLY AND THEN THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WILL COME ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE TWICE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM WAS OVERLOOKED, I WAS GIVEN AN OIL CHANGE AND SENT ON MY WAY BEING TOLD IT'S "NORMAL" FOR MY 2017 VEHICLE TO BURN OIL. IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN THIS MORNING, SO I WAS FORCED TO ADD TWO QUARTS OF OIL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO GET TO WORK. I FEEL LIKE TAKING IT FOR SERVICING WILL DO ME NO GOOD, AS I AM NOT BEING HEARD. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, BUT NOBODY WITH JEEP IS LISTENING OR ACKNOWLEDGING THIS ISSUE.

OIL CONSUMPTION. NEEDED 1QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. IT WILL STALL WHEN LOW ON OIL.

TAKATA RECALL - TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 12/10/18, TOOK A TRIP TO YOSEMITE ON 12/25/18 BEFORE LEAVING HOME MY HUSBAND CHECKED MY OIL AND I WAS HALF WAY DOWN MY OIL STICK. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN I JUST TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE? I WAS MAYBE A LITTLE MORE THEN 1000 MILES. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, THE FIRST TIME I WAS WAY LESS THAN MY OIL CHANGE MILEAGE WE WAS HEADING TO LA AND HALF WAY THERE MY CAR STARTED STALLING WE PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL WHEN THE CAR COOLED OFF AND MY HUSBAND NOTICE I HAD NO OIL IT WAS AT THE BOTTOM LINE ON MY OIL STICK. WE HAD TO RUSH TO GET OIL FOR MY CAR. NO OIL LIGHT CAME ON, THANK GOD WE MADE IT SAFELY TO NAPA TO PURCHASE OIL.

LEFT A LOCAL DRIVE THRU AND JEEP BEGAN IDLING HARD. DROVE ON A BUSY ROADWAY AND LOST SPEED UNTIL CAR WAS AT 0MPH (WAS ORIGINALLY AT 45MPH) TURNED CAR OFF ON BUSY INTERSECTION AND TURNED BACK ON. CAR DROVE 1.5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND LOST SPEED AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO GAS STATION AND HAVE CAR TOWED TO GREENWAY JEEP IN ORLANDO. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON.

MY CAR HAS CUT OFF WITH OUT NOTICE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THREE TIMES, ALWAYS AT LEAST A 1,000 MILES BEFORE MY NEXT OIL CHANGE . I CAN NOT MAKE IT 3.000 WITHOUT HAVING TO GET AN OIL CHANGE

MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING ON 3 OCCASIONS. I CHECKED MY OIL AND I SAW THAT IT WAS RUNNING LOW SO I PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN ON THURSDAY 12/13/18. I CHECKED AND THE OIL STICK AND THE LEVEL WAS AT THE MEDIUM LEVEL ON THE STICK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER 12/17/18 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR WHICH WAS IMPOSSIBLE SINCE I HAD JUST PUT OIL IN THE CAR. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT I DRIVE 500 MILES AND THEN COME BACK FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST.

AROUND 40000 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN MAKING A RATTLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD AND A BURNING SMELL WAS NOTICED. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THE CODE INDICATED THAT THE RADIATOR FAN HAD FAILED, MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FIND IT HIGHLY INDICATIVE OF A FAULTY AND DANGEROUS PART FOR A RADIATOR FAN TO FAIL SO QUICKLY. THE LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE CONFIRMED THIS, THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND IS REPLACED BY JEEP WITH A BETTER ONE, BUT AT THE COST OF THE OWNER. I FIND THIS HIGHLY NEGLIGENT, JEEP SHOULD BE REPLACING THIS PART FOR FREE AD PART OF A RECALL, AS THEY CLEARLY KNOW IT WAS AN INFERIOR PART.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE JERKS AND LUNGES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. AS I AM DRIVING I WILL HEAR A LOUD CLUNK NOISE, WHICH THEN RESULTS IN MY ENGINE STALLING OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE NOTICED IT HAPPENS WHEN I MUST ACCELERATE QUICKLY OR WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL. ON THE PANEL SOON AFTER THE CLUNK A MESSAGE APPEARS STATING THAT THE CAR MUST BE SHIFTED TO PARK IN ORDER TO DRIVE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AS I PURCHASED IT TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY SON. IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NORMAL FOR 2.4L TRANSMISSIONS TO DO THIS, MAIN CAUSE IS LOW OIL. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT STILL HAPPENS AFTER A FRESH OIL CHANGE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT. NO HARSH DRIVING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS ISSUE PUTS EVERY DRIVER ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME AT RISK. THESE ENGINES ARE LEMONS.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, IN BETWEEN REGULAR/PROPER OIL CHANGES, I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ON TO A CITY SIDE STREET WHEN MY JEEP STALLED. AFTER TURNING ON MY HAZARDS AND TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT, I PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT. AT THIS TIME THE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON SO I WAITED FOR THE CAR TO COOL AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE DIPSTICK SHOWED NO OIL. I ADDED 2 QUARTS AND TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. THE GUY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND SUGGESTED THAT THE LAST GUY DID NOT ADD ENOUGH OIL SINCE IT TAKES MORE THAN A NORMAL V4. I THANKED HIM AND WENT ON MY WAY. IMMEDIATELY MY CAR WAS DRIVING BETTER. HERE IT IS 3 MONTHS LATER AND MY CAR BEGINS TO DRIVE ROUGH. SO I CHECK MY OIL AFTER SETTING ALL NIGHT AND I HAVE TO ADD MORE OIL. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS, NO WHITE SMOKE OR SMOKE FOR THAT MATTER, NO PUDDLES AND NO INDICATOR LAMP.

THE ENGINE USES/LOSES APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 300 - 500 MILES OF DAILY DRIVING. MY DAILY DRIVING IS BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY. THE JEEP HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES (4 IN 6 MONTHS) TO INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THIS LOSS OF OIL. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL THE OIL CHANGES CAN LAST AS LONG AS 10,000 MILES. THIS JEEP RENEGADE AVERAGES AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 2,000 TO 2,500 MILES DUE TO THIS OIL ISSUE. THERE ARE "NO" EXTERNAL OIL LEAKS VISIBLE NOR ON THE DRIVEWAY THEREFORE THE OIL MUST BE LEAKING INTERNALLY INTO "SOMETHING". THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT SERVICING THE VEHICLE BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE LAST INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE DEALERSHIP WAS THIS JEEP'S ENGINE IS EXPECTED TO LOSE 1 QUART OF OIL PER 2000 MILES AND RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL EVERY 2,500 MILES. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS AN ENGINE PROBLEMS THAT IS UNRESOLVED AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. NEVER KNOWING WHEN THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WILL OCCUR. I ORIGINALLY TOOK THIS JEEP TO THE QUINN JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN GLOUCESTER VA BUT WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT BECAUSE THIS JEEP WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM QUINN THAT QUINN WOULD NOT PERFORM (ANY) SERVICE ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE WAS AN ACTUAL "NOTE" ADDED IN THE DATABASE TO NOT SERVICE THIS VEHICLE.

ENGINE HAS STALLED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES. LATEST TIME STALLED OUT ON A CITY STREET AFTER TURNING INTO IT. TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN OIL IS LOW. JEEP BURNING THROUGH OIL TOO FAST.

DRIVING AND ENGINE STALLS, THROWS A P00735 CODE, ONLY 15450 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN HAPPENED, IT'S NOT DOING IT AGAIN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN...I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN TO THEM AND TOLD THE SAME THING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BAD THERMOSTAT. ENGINE MAKING A RATTLING NOISE DIFFERENT THAN THE NORMAL UNIQUE SOUND OF THE 2.4L MULTI-AIR ENGINE AFTER ENGINE IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. SOUND CAN BE HEARD MOST WHEN TRAVELING UNDER 40 MPH.

WITH 6100 MILES AND 7 MONTHS ON MY RENEGADE I'VE HAD TO PUT IN OVER 3 QUARTS OF OIL. WHEN THE OIL LEVELS DROP THE JEEP STALLS WHILE TURNING. IF THIS ISSUE ISN'T RESOLVED AN UNEXPECTING DRIVER COULD FIND THEMSELVES GETTING SEVERELY INJURED. FROM THE FORUMS THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE CLAIMING THE CONSUMPTION AND STALLING ARE NORMAL. IF MY ISSUE ISN'T RESOLVED I WILL BE CONTACTING A LEMON LAW LAWYER.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 10,000 MILES. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COOLING FAN WENT OUT. THEY ESTIMATE 6 WEEKS OR MORE BEFORE THEY CAN REPLACE THE PART.
