My vehicle has suddenly shown warning lights for brake light out, head light out, both turn signals out, running lights out. Basically saying all my lights suddenly burnt out. There is a recall on 2017 Jeep renegades for the exact problem I-€™m having but it doesn-€™t show my vehicle included, it says no unrepaired recalls. They have determined this can cause an accident as the lights are not really out, and so the driver has no idea when the lights actually do go out. This is dangerous

The car decides when it wants to start and start. The car will shut off and lock up while driving and has put me in multiple dangerous situations. The check engine light turns on with the airbag light when it will not start. When it finally decides to start there is no cel on. Also, the bottom fog light went out due to faulty design and gasketing.

Manual trans 1.4L. For approximately the last year, I've gotten an intermittent 'service electric parking brake' message. I never had it looked at, I disconnected the battery and then it would go away. Also the car completely stopped turning off from accessory power mode. I couldn't just roll down the windows, I had to crank the car or the power wouldn't turn back off. Recently had check engine light with code P0807 'clutch position sensor circuit 1 low' showing. The next day, car was difficult to start. It took several tries pushing the start button and messing with clutch before it would turn over. I took it to a shop (not dealer) and they couldn't find anything or replicate the codes and told me it was a glitch. Next day I get the epb light again and used my code reader and it was showing P0807 and ABS code C1220-86. So I located said switch and unplugged it, and boom. All the problem codes popped up again and I was able to turn the car off like normal. I removed the sensor and opened the cover on it. The carbon film inside was missing a section. Tested with a meter and the sensor lost voltage when sweep arm inside reached the broken spot. This is a problem that could leave you stranded somewhere if you didn't have the tools to reach and jump out this sensor. And of course clutch parts are not covered by warranty. Even though this is an obvious factory defect seeing as it's on the inside of a sensor that I couldn't reach without removing the panel under the steering wheel.

Vehicle will stall out when driving, going less than 40 miles per hour. System does not shut down. Does not seem to be a battery or electrical issue. Had this happen 3 times in a month. Pulled over into park & had to restart the car. Low oil pressure light came on. Took in for a routine oil change. Mechanic referred me to dealership as they could only determine a low oil consumption/ pressure. Terrible knocking sound in front as well. Very concerned as other Jeep have been recalled for similar issues, but my 2017 Renegade latitude is not under the recall. Huge safety concern.

Complaint crashno fireno injuries0 deaths0 my vehicle is due for an oil change February 11. Many 2017 Jeep Renegades have had a recall issued on them for the vehicle stalling while driving. Car completely stalled and locked up. Brought it to have oil checked and it was not the problem. They also checked battery and alternator which are fine. This is very concerning and have heard this with other Jeep.. car was driving when suddenly and unexpectedly came to a complete halt and on the other occasion it occurred at a stop. The vehicle completely stalled and shutdown.

When turning left from a cold start vehicle stalls and shuts off. It says it needs to shift, but it is already in drive. You must shut the vehicle off and attempt to start it sometimes it takes five minutes for it to start. Now it says there are issues with the lights, like they are out but they are actually working. No work has been done on it before. Currently at the dealership. Have video.

My vehicle display message 'vehicle not in park' while driving anywhere at various speeds. Once msg display, vehicle loses powers. This has happen while driving on freeway. It is intermittent issue. I have open numerous case with Chrysler / fca but because dealer is not able to duplicate they won't repair. I read on internet there is defect in engine. Also vehicle displays service passive entry system. They reset software and issue returns.
