2016 Jeep Renegade Complaints

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE — Filed 08/29/2026

While driving on the freeway at approximately 65 mph with my family in the vehicle, including my fiancée, my [XXX] son, and my fiancée’s mother, the engine suddenly began making a grinding noise that lasted approximately 10 seconds. The engine then began knocking, and the vehicle abruptly shut off, leaving me unable to continue driving. I was forced to maneuver toward the nearest available safe location, but there was no immediately safe place to pull over. I narrowly avoided being hit by other vehicles while trying to get off the freeway and ultimately had to stop on an offramp. This sudden engine failure created a serious safety hazard for my entire family and other motorists. I had to arrange an Uber to transport my fiancée, my young son, and my fiancée’s mother home while I remained in an unsafe location near the freeway waiting for a tow truck. The incident was frightening and emotionally distressing for everyone involved. I believe the failure may involve internal engine components, but the exact cause has not yet been determined. The vehicle has not been driven since the incident and is currently at a Carvana-owned Jeep dealership awaiting diagnostic inspection. The problem has not been reproduced or independently confirmed because the vehicle has not been driven since the engine shut down. To my knowledge, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, law enforcement, or an insurance representative. There were no warning lights or warning messages that I noticed before the failure. The engine noise was the first symptom I observed. The engine and related components should be available for inspection upon request. I am requesting that this incident be investigated because the sudden engine failure at highway speed placed my family, including my [XXX] child, and other motorists at significant risk of a collision.

There is an emissions recall on this Jeep; it is currently at the dealership for the repairs. In order to reach the part that must be replaced in order to complete the recall, there is a bolt that is sheared off. The dealership is telling us that we have to pay $3,800 in order to replace the head, because of the bolt being sheared off. This bolt must be removed in order to complete the recall but they are refusing to do this repair at no cost. They cannot do the recall work without removing the bolt. The part the bolt is connected to will have to be replaced. We should not be financially liable to pay for this since it is part of the work required to complete the recall. We've spoken to the FCA recall department and they are refusing to cover the repairs. My husband needs this vehicle to drive back and forth to work. We cannot NOT have the repairs done but we also should not be held financially liable. Because of this recall part failure, the Jeep cuts out while he's driving and it is a safety issue.

WHEELS — Filed 07/11/2026

Understanding the vehicle is not under wheel stud recall but it needs to be. The exact same thing happened to my Renegade as the recall states. At the Jeep dealer because the wheel came off when my wife was driving. Towed to Jeep dealer and all stud/ nuts are stressed and stretched and causing this life threatening situation. Wrong tourque specs published. Luckily my wife wasn’t hurt or killed. I have attached pictures and video. Talked to Jeep customer care with no help. This is a very serious situation and needs to be addressed.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER — Filed 06/25/2026

In the past year, I have already had to replace the bulb for the "daytime running light" on the front passenger side of my Renegade. Now, the light has just popped back onto my dashboard for the 3rd time stating that the light is out again for the 3rd time in a year. I have also noticed several other Renegades in my area driving with the same exact light out on their vehicle as well. The first 2 times I took my vehicle to my mechanic to be repaired, both times they stated all they found was the bulb not working. Being the 3rd time, they have advised me to reach out about a recall to have this fixed.

LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE — Filed 03/10/2021

UNKNOWN. System failed to warn me that a car was approaching on my blind spot and if I had the warning it could have prevented an accident. Had a warning been given allowing me to know not to cross the lane I would have been more aware of the car approaching my lane and then the automatic emergency braking system could’ve kicked in to prevent this accident from happening in the first place.

POWER TRAIN,STRUCTURE — Filed 08/17/2017

1. TRUNK LID DOES NOT STAY LATCHED. SOME SERIES OF OPENING AND CLOSING DIFFERENT DOORS TYPICALLY RECTIFIES ISSUE. MULTIPLE WITNESSES. INTERMITTENT. NO PATTERN. 2. VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MAKING TIGHT TURNS INTO TRAFFIC (HEAVY CONSTRUCTION AT MY COMPLEX'S ONLY ENTRANCE/EXIT). VEHICLE ALSO 'TURNS OFF' DESPITE IT BEING IN 'DRIVE' AND MOVING--I RECEIVE A MESSAGE STATING TO PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PUSH BUTTON TO START VEHICLE DESPITE IT BEING IN DRIVE AND MOVING. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR IN ANGRY TRAFFIC, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MOVE SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN RESTART A VEHICLE THAT WAS ALREADY RUNNING. AT LEAST THREE SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED ALONG WITH A MODULE ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST INCIDENT, FOUR HORNS BLARED AT ME AND ONE VEHICLE HIT MY BACK DRIVER QUARTER PANEL/BUMPER. NO ONE STOPPED. THEY JUST DROVE AROUND ME. I DID NOT FILE A POLICE REPORT. I CALLED THE DEALER (AGAIN) AND HAD TO DRIVE QUITE A DISTANCE (AGAIN) FOR THEM TO LOOK IT OVER, (AGAIN). NOTE: I NO LONGER LIVE NEAR THAT DEALERSHIP. THE RENEGADE SCARES ME-- TERRIFIES ME AT TIMES. I AM NO LONGER GETTING RESPONSES FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING THE TICKET NUMBER. NO ONE WILL DRIVE IN MY VEHICLE WITH ME. THE 'STALLING' ISSUE IS PRIMARILY ON INTERMITTENT RIGHT TURNS. SINCE THE LAST SOFTWARE UPDATE, TURNING LEFT IS NOW BECOMING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THIS LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN, THE SERVICE MAN TOUCHED UP THE RED PAINT FROM MY BEING HIT, BUT DID NOTHING ABOUT THE SCRATCHES. SO I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FILE A CLAIM BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VEHICLE HAVING 'COMPUTER ERRORS.' ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED TO PROVIDE ISSUE CODES, YET THEY KEEP PUTTING SOFTWARE UPDATES. VEHICLE OFTEN FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS PARTIALLY SET OR RUNNING IN A LOW GEAR. SOMETIMES I MUST PUT MY FOOT LITERALLY TO THE FLOOR TO GET UP TO SPEED. ISSUES STARTED THE FIRST WEEK I GOT IT
