2015 Jeep Renegade Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“When attempting to accelerate into traffic, the engine revs high but fails to deliver power to the wheels, acting as if it is in neutral. This failure to shift into gear has occurred several times and poses a significant safety risk”

“The contact stated that while her mother was driving 35 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted to neutral(N) without warning. The contact’s mother was able to shift back into drive(D)”

“JEEP HAS STARTED TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. THIS STARTED SEVERAL DAYS AGO. TODAY I WAS PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND IT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. IT TOOK A MINIMUM OF 30 SECONDS TO CORRECT ITSELF. NOTHING I DO SEEMS TO HELP”

“THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT VERY HARD LIKE A BUCKING BRONCO FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE. IT IS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE AND THE PROBLEM IS THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION”

“WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS ALMOST CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM”

“MY VEHICLE JERKS FORWARD WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALSO HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING 30 M.P.H. OR LESS AND TRY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR WILL JERK FORWARD AND BACK, THEN OPERATE NORMAL”

“Vehicle overheating due to non functioning radiator fan. There was a recall on same model, but none listed for my specific vin. unknown as to when symptoms first appeared. vehicle overheats more when car is stopped/in idle”

“MY CAR'S RADIATOR FAN STARTED RATTLING AND AFTER LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE, I FOUND ENDLESS SOURCES OF OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR AS ME THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE”

“COOLING FAN IS MALFUNCTIONING AS MANY OTHERS APPARANTLY HAVE. THE ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT IF AT REST OR MAKING FREQUENT STOPS (CITY DRIVING)”

“When adding fuel at the gas station through vehicle Cap-less fuel fill tube, gas pump nozzle could not be removed without pulling on it which snapped the small thin plastic tabs holding cap-less fuel port in place”

“THE CAP LESS FUEL FILLER BROKE. I WAS FILLING WITH FUEL AT THE GAS STATION. WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL I WENT TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE FROM THE CAP LESS FILLER NECK AND THE CAP LESS PORTION BROKE AWAY FROM THE FILLER NECK AND STAYED ATTACHED TO THE NOZZLE”

“The cap leess fuel filler broke. I was filling up the fuel tank and when I went to remove the fuel nozzle from the tank, the cap less filler neck came out with the nozzle. Basically fell out”

“Shifter won't work (won't move out of park) after battery dies. My vehicle's battery died at the end of April, we assumed it was just an old battery and had it replaced by AAA”

“Battery went dead, vehicle was jump started as per guide protocol, then vehicle would not shift out of Park. Had to use Emergency towing and release the shift with the shift lever override as described in the manual”

“UPON CRANKING UP THE VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD PRESENTED A 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' ERROR AND THE GEAR WHAT STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY DURING THIS TIME AND IN MY DRIVEWAY”

“My car turns off at random times while driving. This has happened while going down the highway at high speeds and while turning left into a business and everything in between”

“WHILE DRIVING A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WHILE STOPPED IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET/ROAD”

“I was driving my vehicle and all of the sudden it just turned off and said vehicle shift to P to select gear, and I kept pressing the gas and it wouldn’t move , I have nothing on my dash no lights or anything”

“THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1.4 TURBO ENGINE IN MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE BURNING ENGINE OIL UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING ON THE DIPSTICK”

“The contact stated that on multiple occasions the vehicle stalled due to a low oil level. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that the vehicle was consuming oil at an abnormal rate”

“EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION . 30000 MILES IN THE ENGINE AND IT GOES THROUGH OIL MORE OFTEN THAN THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES. MAJOR ACCIDENT ISSUE, CAUSED BY ENGINE STALLINGS DUE TO UNEXPECTEDLY LOW OIL. ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY”

“My rear drivers side tail light is out completely-no brake light, reverse, turn signal, or nighttime tail light is working. I spent nearly $800 to replace part 68599920AA, as the entire motherboard was fried, as were the connectors from overheating”

“Rear brake and back up light assembly ground wire shorted and burned out. This caused all of the lights in the assembly to go out and sent multiple warnings to the dash board”

“Both fog lights have had to be replace due to the inside reflectors getting so hot, the bulbs are melting them with the potential to cause a fire”
