My radiator fan is making a noise and I don't believe is functioning properly which is causing my Jeep to run hot. My engine smells like burned rubber underneath the hood. The noise occurs when my vehicle is idle.

I turned on my Jeep Renegade with the automatic start button in like 30 weather. I drove it down the highway for about 10 minutes and the service engine light turned on. I also had the air bag, brake warning sign turn on. I stopped to put gas and just the service engine light stayed on. I had a diagnostic test done with code P0128- thermostat failure. Had to have it replaced in Canada since I am on a temporary work permit. So it cost me an arm and a leg for service. Checked online and many people have had the same problem.

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.

Bought Jeep brand new and now has 17,000 miles on it. Have had injectors replaces. It has been to the shop several time for PCV valve freezing and causing cylinders to misfire. It has been burning oil and occasionally will just shut. In the last month it has been to the dealership 3 time and usually at least 2 days a pop. One of those times had it towed in at my expense. Very displeased with engine. Dealer told me they had no fix for the problem. So this is something I will have to deal with every winter. Not even safe to drive. Very disappointed. At one point shut off turning into my driveway where I was almost hit by a semi truck

Engine cooling fan motor doesnt even last 35,000 miles without being replaced. Bearings in the fan motor go bad!

- Alpha, NJ, USA

At about 50,000 miles the engine fan has gone bad causing the car to overheat. The car is only 3 years old and I should not have to pay 600-800$ in repairs for a new vehicle there are so many complaints about the exact same thing something should be investigated and done about this.

- Rustburg, VA, USA

The engine fan has decided to stop working at only 44K miles!" there are hundreds of others who have had this happen to their Renegade at even fewer miles than this. I had to stop on the side of the road because my 3 year old car was overheating due to a bad or pos engine fan? what if I were in the middle of nowhere and with kids in the car" the dealership says they won't cover it because they haven't had any reports of it yet........ check the forums online!!

- Viera, FL, USA

The bearing on the fan is going out. I have 42,000 miles and of course it is not under warranty. I have read more than 100 complaints about the same problem. Why is this not a recall? this is the 3rd Chrysler I've purchased brand new and never had this issue with the other 2. if more than half of the vehicles are having the same problem then it is time for a recall on the part. I don't have $500-$600 to fix this. So I have a vehicle that I still owe on that will sit for months. Thank you Chrysler.

Around 40,000 miles my car started consuming oil at an alarming rate. The dealership service department said it was normal for my car to consume 1 quart per 750 miles! that is insane. That said, Chrysler guideline for cars is 1 quart per 2000 miles for cars below 50,000 miles. The dealership has refused to repair my engine. I can't even go 2500 miles on an oil change without my car seizing up, stalling, having errors codes (low oil pressure, oil light comes on, electrical error), won't accelerate over 35 miles per hour. This all happens while I'm driving with no warning! very dangerous on a freeway! even the guideline for cars over 50,000 miles the guideline being the car can burn 1 quart every 750 miles is ridiculous. I've owned older models that never did that. Is this a new car thing" new cars just burn ridiculous amounts of oil? to what end"

The vehicle by the way -that has almost caused her and her son to be in four accidents due to its sudden deceleration at 50 mph to 30mph with no warning. Here is the "fixes? for the same problem that never addressed the reason the vehicle continues to do the same thing. Nothing is fixed. Also it has broken down four times -the last time on the hood canal bridge which stopped traffic in both directions and a tow truck had to come out on the bridge to tow it all the way back to wilder Toyota in port angeles. She has had to have it towed back to wilder Toyota four times and they have not fixed it at all. Now apparently you would like her to drive it away tomorrow???? and apparently this time it?S fixed because the ?oil got changed?? what?? that?S not the problem [xxx]the problem is that the car is going to kill someone if not [xxx] then someone else. Why would you threaten her that she has to bring back the loaner when whatever is wrong has not been addressed?? are you listening to her when she tells you she?S is afraid of driving that vehicle due to the numerous problems and scary situations it has put her in? are you listening to me " Chrysler needs to do the right thing and buy that car back before it kills someone white this vehicle off of the road immediately before it kills my niece and her 3yr son.

My 2016 Jeep Renegade radiator fan assembly is shot. Stopped working when I was idling on my way home.it is almost $1000 to fix and I can not safely drive my vehicle. It is only two years old. It has 45K miles. Online there is a ton of people complaining about this same issue, particularly in the 2016 Jeep. I want to urge you to investigate this car and company to do the right thing and cover the cost of the repairs.

While driving at 36120 miles I noticed a burning smell inside my passenger cabin. Shortly thereafter I noticed the engine temperature gauge went to its hottest reading and my check engine light came on. After pulling over and turning the vehicle off I opened the hood to the engine compartment and noticed that although the engine appeared to be extraordinarily hot, the electric fan was not operating. I then went into my house and did some online research and discovered that it quite possibly was a defective electric engine fan that was prone to failing due to no proper heat shield. This had been noted by many owners of the same vehicle. I made arrangements to have the vehicle brought to my Jeep dealer who then confirm that this was indeed the case.

Cooling fan quit working. 50 amp fuse blows. Vehicle was being driven on highway. Had to keep heat on to keep coolent temperature down.

- Oxford, AL, USA

At 55000 miles the cooling fan quit out of nowhere. It was fine the day before and then when it was cranked the next morning the fan was ticking and then about 15 minutes later stopped running.

- Clermont, GA, USA

My radiator fan went out at 50,000 miles therefore out of warranty. I had noticed a few times that I would hear a noise coming from the engine, I took it to the shop and they saw no issues. Fast forward 4 months and I was sitting in traffic and my car began to overheat. I was informed that this is an ongoing issue and that I should submit a complaint to hopefully get a recall on this as I paid a significant amount of money to fix it.

The radiator fan is wobbling and causing a rattling noise. This is a known issue among other Renegade owners. It may catch on fire or rupture the radiator. It will certainly lead to overheating if it isn't replaced.
