ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The radiator fan will stop working or work intermittently. If it's not running when the temp gets up you have to manually Spin The Fan then it will engage. It is prone to overheating while idling or moving slow. I have replaced the fan on a active recall for this model three times already. The fans usually last from anywhere from 4 months to a 8 months.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
When car is backed up and put into drive the transmission hesitates. While coming to a stop the transmission has small jerks while downshifting. Also upon pulling out anytime you are stopped it looses power and then jumps forward. While driving as it changes gears it hesitates then switches and feels like I’m driving with someone learning how to drive a manual. This should not be happening around 67k miles. It’s going to cause a wreck.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
After work I got in my renegade Trailhawk and turned it on as usual to go home. Upon starting up the vehicle, warning lights came on telling me the headlights, tail lights, blinkers, daytime lights, tag lights, parking lights and back up lights were not working or out. I got out and inspected them only to see they were in fact all still functioning as should be. I got someone from the dealership to look at the issue and was told it would be alright, but definitely get the service department to look at it in the morning. I am having it inspected today by the service department and hopefully the issue will be resolved. As an update on this particular issue, I took the Renegade to the Service department the next morning and after just a few minutes I was informed this would be remedied within less than 15 -20 minutes. Apparently there was a new update to the system that was installed by the awesomely knowledgeable crew at Marshall CDJR and I haven’t had any of the same issues since.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
Parking/Daylight continually goes out after repeated replacement of the bulb. I will have the vehicle available upon request. I have had it inspected by the dealer and third party services each and every time all they do is replace the bulb. It's only been 1 month since I last had the bulb replaced (But I've had it replaced 3 times this year). Additionally, I found a forum of people also complaining about their jeep renegades with the same exact issue: https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/parking-light-daytime-running-lights-out.50874/ Seems to be a widespread problem stemming from faulty wiring from the manufacturer. Surprised there hasn't already been a recall.

Potential Consequences:
UNKNOWN I was recently sold a vehicle that I feel should be under the "safe car" issues. The engine cooling fan. If an engine cooling fan is not working right, this can cause the engine to overheat and the potential exists for a vehicle fire. How is that not a safety issue? Two Manufacturer recalls on the Jeep Renegade 2016: #V54 2015-2017 VM BU FB ENGINE COOLING FAN #W20 2013-2019 Mutli Vehicle 2.4 Reprogram PCM PH1 I bought a car not realizing the signficance of these recalls which were not explained to me at the time of purchase. Neither recall repairs were done by the previous owner. I feel the engine cooling fan is a serious safety issue yet it is not listed on your website. This means other unsuspecting buyers can purchase cars without salespeople being required to disclose detailed recall information. Nor whether or not this recall was taken care of by the previous owner. In my case, it was not.
