“My etc light came on today as I was backing out of my driveway as well as my check engine light. I turned the car off and when I turned it back on, both lights returned. About a month ago, I finally received my recalls for my fan to be replaced the day after I fixed it. Is this another recall that I wasn't made aware of?”

NHTSA complaint #11246481, filed 2019-08, 102,000 miles

“I was driving on the highway around 3pm when I attempted to turn on the air and the temperature never adjusted. My coolant indicator turned fully red. My car started smoking and I pulled over and popped the hood to see my antifreeze boiling out of the reservoir. I kept the hood up and waited for it to cool down. The next morning, I drove to my sitter's where I completed my trip and the car started smoking again. Now it's at the shop.”

“When driving and need to make a left turn, the Jeep loses power and the stability control light blinks.. It is a severe safety issue as I have almost been rear ended several times. It is a known issue by chrysler fiat but they are doing nothing to fix it as it is in Jeep forums everywhere. I feel it is time for a class action lawsuit, before someone is seriously injured or killed.”

NHTSA complaint #10917472, filed 2016-10, 16,000 miles

“Vehicle loses all electrical power and stalls intermittently while driving. This happened several times over the last four years of ownership. Not related to extreme temperatures, bumps/vibrations or rain/moisture. Battery was tested and even replaced. It was serviced by dealer the previous episode and was told the software needed updating. Yet here we are again. I have seen other Jeep renegades with similar issues have a recall for wiring harness. According to mopar this year isn't covered.”

NHTSA complaint #11315895, filed 2020-03, 63,000 miles

“The stability control light randomly flashes and I lose power to the car. It happens during dry conditions and more frequently when turning. I have almost been in an accident twice because this. It has been occurring for months now and I have taking it to the dealer twice but they say they can't find anything wrong with it. No codes or star cases have been reported but the car it not right. I'm don't feel safe driving it but I am not sure what to do now.”
