Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Jeep Renegade vehicles manufactured August 25, 2014, to June 25, 2016, equipped with a factory-installed optional trailer hitch package. The trailer hitch assembly may have been attached with only a single fastener per side, not three per side as required.

Without the proper amount of fasteners, the trailer hitch assembly may separate from the vehicle, and any towed vehicle may no longer be properly connected, increasing the risk of a crash.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Since I drive the Jeep off the lot 1/20/2017 with 9 miles on the vehicle I got home and saw that the passenger side daylight running light was not functioning. I called the sales rep and he informed me to bring in the vehicle to find out what was wrong. During the next six years of ownership, I have consistently had the same issue with the running light bulb being burnt out and the two messages of daylight running light out and parking light out. On 9/22/20 with 19,437 miles on the vehicle I paid $34.69 to fix broken wires and have two new bulbs installed. Then on 6/30/22 with 27,236 I paid $33.92 to replace the passenger daytime running light and parking light. Then on 8/10/22 with 27,858 miles on the vehicle I paid $319.82 to have the passenger side daytime running light and parking light bulb and the tech also replaced the driver's side running light socket and bulb because driver's side running light because it was making a poor connection. I addition the vehicle was at the dealership for four days running an electrical diagnostic. I picked up the car and no messages existed. Ten days later I called the dealership and told my service rep that the two messages of the daylight running light and the parking. On 9/14/22 with 28,510 miles on vehicle I went in to see the service manager and the service tec to ask how they would resolve this ongoing light issue and was told that they would need to complete more diagnostic and that I was looking at four hours of diagnostics at a cost to me of $600. Since I was at the dealership, I had an oil change and was given a failure on the light evaluation because the passenger side daylight running light and parking light were out. I got home and started researching the 2016 Jeep Renegade and came across dozens of complaints regarding the same issue I was having of the daylight running light and parking light out. I replaced the factory bulb with a led bulb and after that change I am only getting one message of parking light out

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

The traction control light will come on and the engine will lose power while the vehicle is making a turn at normal low-speed turns on dry pavement. This poses a serious safety hazard for drivers because unexpected loss of acceleration in a turn places the driver in danger of being hit from behind and/or at risk of being struck from the side when traction control comes on and the vehicle loses power while the driver is making a turn across traffic. We purchased this vehicle used on June 1, 2022 and have had multiple incidents of this happening, most recently this morning at 6:55 AM CST. I have not yet had it looked at by a dealer.

SEAT BELTS

Potential Consequences:

I bought my jeep at the end of 2016. Within a year the back seat passenger side seatbelt would not latch. Now I’m 2022 the middle seatbelt also won’t latch. I have a five year old. I discovered this when attempting to move her to a booster seat. There is only one working seatbelt in the back. After reading forums this is a common problem with the limited jeep renegade. Children are at risk.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

While at an intersection as I was turning left across the side of oncoming traffic my vehicle completely stalled in the middle of the road the gas pedal was stuck and would not accelerate and then a code on my dash appeared Service Throttle Body, after 45 seconds the code went away and the veh was finally able to accelerate so I could move out of the middle of the oncoming traffic side of the road. I then proceeded to go straight until I could find a parking lot to pull into. Right before I was able to pull into the parking lot the Jeep did the same thing again. Would not accelerate, I put on my flashers, the same dash code came back on Service Throttle Body and after 45 seconds the Jeep went back to acting fine. I was finally able to pull into a parking lot and turn off the jeep.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

In April of 2020 and at 41,800 miles, my vehicle was experiencing very significant vibration and noise from my engine and had become unbearable. I learned, from taking the vehicle to the Dealer, that the Passenger Side Engine Mount was defective - leading to instability under the hood. The Dealer, 'off record' indicated there was a known defect and that they were replacing a fair amount of the mounts for those customers who recognized that there may be a problem. The Dealer wanted $600+ to replace the Engine Mount! I believed an item like that (part of the drivetrain system) should be replaced for free by the manufacturer. However, I purchased the Engine Mount (Part #6841 8168 AA -001) and Bolts and replaced the Mount myself. In addition, I contacted FCA and they reimbursed me for the $241.68 expense. Most unfortunately, again, at 55,231miles the replacement (FCA Part) Engine Mount FAILED - creating incredible vibration and noise!! Again, I purchased another replacement FCA Engine Mount, Bolts and installed the replacement Engine Mount myself. I have tried to reach-out to FCA utilizing the e-mail address that they communicated with me back in 04/2020, although FCA is not responding. This issue, that of a potentially factory defective Primary Engine Mount design, can be a very significant issue as it supports and/or impacts the Drive Train System. The question must be asked, what could happen with the vehicle for those drivers who do not recognize an ever (but slowly) increasing noise and vibration until it is too late?? I would respectfully request NHTSA consider a recall mandate for this item for which FCA should be required to re-design the part and offer free replacements.

The Dealer wanted $600+ to replace the Engine Mount! I believed an item like that (part of the drivetrain system) should be replaced for free by the manufacturer. However, I purchased the Engine Mount (Part #6841 8168 AA -001) and Bolts and replaced the Mount myself. In addition, I contacted FCA and they reimbursed me for the $241.68 expense. Most unfortunately, again, at 55,231miles the replacement (FCA Part) Engine Mount FAILED - creating incredible vibration and noise!! Again, I purchased another replacement FCA Engine Mount, Bolts and installed the replacement Engine Mount myself. I have tried to reach-out to FCA utilizing the e-mail address that they communicated with me back in 04/2020, although FCA is not responding. This issue, that of a potentially factory defective Primary Engine Mount design, can be a very significant issue as it supports and/or impacts the Drive Train System. The question must be asked, what could happen with the vehicle for those drivers who do not recognize an ever (but slowly) increasing noise and vibration until it is too late?? I would respectfully request NHTSA consider a recall mandate for this item for which FCA should be required to re-design the part and offer free replacements.
