Car looses power steering and power and does not shut off and air bags are not on while driving

- Eaton, OH, USA

Dash display states multiple left side lights are out when no lights are out at all. This has happened every winter since 2016. When headlights are off things seem to be fine on the dash. When I turn headlights off shows bad light in 3 places. Lights are not out. Dash also flickers. I'm weather under 40 service engine indicator comes on, and engine will not function properly. Feels like half of cylinders are firing. Chrysler knows it's a faulty thermostat. Left me stranded 2 winters straight. Thermostat operates normally during spring/summer. While under warranty the technicians at david stanley Dodge in midwest city, ok said nothing was wrong with both issues. Refused to fix under warranty. Vehicle is now out of warranty and it will cost nearly $1000 to diagnose and fix. I put today's date in, but it's been happening for the last two years. With the thermostat problem and the electrical problems with the dash there is something seriously wrong with this electrical system. These issues are rampant and all over the forums. Miles when issue occurred are from 800 miles - 70483. I will our current mileage in the 'what was the mileage' block on next page.

Ever since we bought the Jeep it's had problems. Problems included shuttering, electrical malfunctioning, and door locks failing. Even problems with the sun roof. Each time we took it back to the dealership the Jeep was returned with 'no problem found'. just recently the service engine light came on and we took the Jeep to get serviced. The mechanic told us about an issue or recall that's been occurring to our model Jeep.

Driving down the road the car lost power, oil pressure light came off, lost power steering, car shut down. Wouldn't start. Checked oil, called tow truck. I had to push the car back to get it off the road while my husband backed it up to get it off the road. Tow truck got there, put can in neutral, engine light came on and wouldn't go off, car wouldn't turn off emergency brake, pushed it 20 or so times, emergency brake finally turned off so we could back up the car so the tow truck could get it front of it to tow. Car is now at the dealership. We have had nothing but problems with this car and it is dangerously unsafe. The car was in the dealership already this summer for weeks for electrical lights going off and the car continuing to run without the key in the ignition. The Jeep Renegades need to be took off the road.

This truck has been a nightmare. The first year I had it I had to take it to the dealership 7 times because my emergency brake would randomly turn on. They finally figured out it was an electrical problem. Last month I started the car and it was running like it had 150, 000 miles on it (it only has 42,000) and the service engine light came one. Took it to the dealership and I was told on the phone the the O2 sensor was bad and I needed a tuneup... but when I refused to pay the dealership $700 for the work the story changed when I went to pick up the car. They then told me they broke the O2 sensor when replacing a fan that had been recalled. While driving O the highway yesterday every light on the dash came on. Once I got home a turn it off and back on only the service engine light came back on. I have no clue what im going to do with this $35,000 lemon. I can only guess the car still has electrical issues or the engine is about to die at 42,000 miles even though I have have kept up with all required maintenance through the dealership. But I do know I will never buy another Chrysler product again in my life

I am concerned that key fob to our 2016 Renegade does not work well at all. I have replaced the battery but still have problems locking and unlocking doors. I worry when the key fob takes a long time to open the doors I have to hover key fob over door handle to see if it reads it, this happens when I pick up the kids from school, or running to their game's and practices, and it happens on rainy days too. I can't get in my car and I worry for my safety and that of my kids because we're standing outside the vehicle waiting to see if doors will unlock. It doesn't make sense that we cannot get into our car. I have read that this is a recurring issue with key fobs. I need this issued resolved.

For the last year on and off the warning lights illuminate( service air bags, parking brake, electronic throttle cable, check engine light, power steering light), etc. Last week we were driving with the kids, went to park, got back into the vehicle, started it and all the lights started going off. My husband turned the key to off, pulled it out, and the car kept running. We brought it into the dealer only to have them replace the seatbelt. We got the car back and it happened again today. We were driving, all the lights kept going off, including the power steering light which turns off the power steering so we pulled into a gas station only to turn the key to the off position, pulled the key out and the car kept running. We called the dealer and brought it back in to be serviced. The car is dangerously unsafe!

A few months after purchase all the lights on my dashboard and headlights constantly flicker, they get really bright and then they dim down, the acceleration does not work if I slowdown to 5 miles per hour or less, it stalls until I come to a complete stop. My emergency break, seat belt and airbag maintenance lights go off at random times when I first start my car, the dealership cannot duplicate the acceleration issue, and they are not seeing error codes for the airbags, seat belt and emergency break but they have attempted to repair the dashboard lights at least 3-4 times with no permanent solution.

On the screen everyday as you drive the car on local streets or interstate it show a warning that says system requires service. Vehicle requires service please contact your dealer. When this pops up the milage starts blinking and the emergency 911 and assistance button lights up. Took it to the dealer and they can not find any wrong with it. It started back in late October and continues to happen.

First at 25000 miles engine cooling fan went out and rattled so loud and overheated had to be towed. Took dealership a week just to get the parts. Now at 34000 miles engine died and vehicle stopped on highway on ramp almost causing a severe accident. No engine lights came on. I drove it and would not drive over 10 mph while making a horrible noise than engine dies in middle of the road almost another accident. Finally got restarted and quit again now every light on dash came on. Popped the hood and absolutely no oil in engine! was just at dealership the week before and they did their multipoint inspection and marked oil as full" so in a week it lost 5 quarts of oil? was towed again and sat at dealership for two weeks as they could not figure out engine knocking sound! than they call and said everything checked out fine!??. drove home smelling burnt oil as always since new and checked dipstick, they overfilled it by at least a quart! unbelievable. Engine runs horrible and in 100 miles has already dropped a quart on dipstick. Blowing oil out exhaust pipe. Can't trust this vehicle and no one has an answer or fix!!??". total most ridiculous and dangerous thing ever gone through. Somebody will get killed with a vehicle like this. Unbelievable! 2.4L engine

Radiator fan making rattle noise. It has 36011 miles.

Intermittent check parking break, check air bag warning keeps coming on. Also will not recognize when driver seat belt is engaged. This happens when the vehicle is started and at least one of the three warnings will stay on when the vehicle is in motions.

When vehicle is stationary while warming up. Grinding noise started. Turned off the engine and checked the hood. Couldn't see anything so I carried on. Later in traffic, grinding noise from engine compartment starts. Temperature shoots into red, and I start smelling something burning. Engine light came on and found it was the cooling fan. Doing some research online came to find out this a problem with tons of other people. I feel this is a known manufacturer's defect that should be recalled. Failure can happen at any time and could result in a blown motor and/or other damages resulting in a vehicle crash causing serious injury or death. I'm glad I was able to pull over and shut the vehicle off before anything major happend. These fans should be living a 100,000 mile life. But it's happening at 30,000-70,000 miles. Jeep will not cover this under warranty as they say it isn't part of the drivetrain. After reading numerous complaints about this problem I feel this is a known manufacturer's defect that should be recalled. The problem is so widespread that Jeep ran out of them and had/has long wait times. During this period the vehicle is unusable. This is really unacceptable for such a newer model vehicle. My vehicle is currently at 52,000 miles and now I'm going to have to pay $350 in repairs along with the $150 part.

I am reporting a possible safety problem that has developed over recent months with my 2016 Jeep Renegade trailhawk 4X4. The vehicle has a recurring malfunction with the driver side seat electrical wiring assembly. The problem occurs intermittently after the seatbelt is properly secured and there is normal body movement in the driver seat while the vehicle is either in motion or stationary. The problem so far affects several of the electronic subsystems connected to the vehicle's driver seat. This malfunction has caused temporary or permanent disabling of the driver seat power controls, airbag system, electronic parking brake system and seatbelt warning system.

My 2016 Jeep Renegade trailhawk vehicle has an intermittent problem in the driver seat electrical wiring. The driver seat power switches controlling the seat movement have become non-operational. The problem occurs without warning and present a possible safety issue is the case of an accident. In the event of an accident, the driver seat would be lock into a position locking the driver in the seat of the vehicle. This condition would present a safety hazard in the event a speedy evacuation is necessary.
