I was driving in right lane,40-45MPH, heard a very loud bang (not a tire), front end of jeep lifted UP, then began veering to the right heading off the road. I was unable to break or turn steering. Next thing, I woke up from being knocked out, hit a pole, 3 witnesses heard the bang as well - one witness told police, all 3 air bags went off. Emergency services were summoned. Car totaled. Pole is still standing upright. Fortunately I did not die or get seriously injured. Emergency services said if I had hit the tree next to pole, the outcome of my injuries would have been totally different. Car was towed to auto repair center and they had never seen collision damage such as this. Insurance company notified. Police report made at time of accident.no driver citations. a few days later I contacted jeep company, told them they needed to send someone out to look at this damage, because someone is going to die! They had a third party come out to the collision repair shop and get black box information/examined vehicle. A few days later, I received a carefully worded letter from Jeep that they saw NO SUSPENSION or STEERING issues to be the reason for the accident. Only the BANG, VEHICLE UPLIFT ON RIGHT SIDE, HITTING POLE. NO warning lights were on. This car was purchased new in 2/2018. I just hit the 30,000 miles, new tires on vehicle for 3 months and had only 2,000 miles of usage on them. The vehicle was in excellent condition and always maintained 100%. Even the Farmer's Insurance inspector stated car was in showroom condition.

My engine cooling system is malfunctioning. My safety is at risk and can put others at risk while I am driving because the engine can permanently malfunction I lose control of my car. I have let the dealer at my local center Costa Mesa California Jeep Dealership and the representative did not help with my situation. The dealership installed a new engine due to a recall letter I received for my vehicle. I believe its the dealerships responsibility to fix the engine cooling system problem since they have just replaced a new engine on my vehicle. The problem first appeared since the day I picked up my vehicle from the dealership. I smelled coolant liquid from the first day and advisor just said that its normal to smell coolant because I just got a new engine installed for my vehicle.
MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL BUT IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE RECALLED 2017 JEEP RENEGADE'S ! I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED? THIS IS EXTREMELY CONFUSING AND FRUSTRATING!! IT IS STALLING AND OIL IS LEAKING SAME RECALL AS 4X4 AND FLEXFUEL RENEGADES... MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT AND GOT STUCK AND IT CAUSED HER HEAT EXHAUSTION WHILE WAITING IN VEHICLE FOR ASSISTANCE! OUR CITY IS IN A HEAT ADVISORY!!
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET, WITH PARKED CARS ON EITHER SIDE (AT APPROXIMATELY 18 MILES PER HOUR) AND IN A NEARLY STRAIGHT LINE, ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING SEVERE INJURY TO THE DRIVER WHICH REQUIRED MULTIPLE SURGERIES. BLACK BOX DATA SHOWS A ROLL OVER INCIDENT FROM ONE OF THE SENSORS. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ROLL OVER, NOR DID IT HIT A CURB, THE VEHICLE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS WHICH DEPLOYED SPONTANEOUSLY. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS OCCURRED DUE TO EITHER PROGRAMMING ERROR (AS HAS HAPPENED IN THE RECALLED JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES) OR A DEFECTIVE SENSOR FROM THE FACTORY. FCA USA WAS PUT ON NOTICE OF THIS INCIDENT AND, TO DATE, HAS TAKEN NO STEPS TO VIEW THE VEHICLE WHICH WE HAVE PRESERVED. *DT *DT *DT *DT*JB *TR*DT*JB*DT*DT*DT *JS *JS *DL*DT*DT *TP*JB

Axle on left side of jeep was broke -took jeep to have serviced for oil and tire rotation. Service person found that the axel was broke. Cost $1500 Service man stated the axel was like a straw.
My fog light has now caught fire and burned twice. The entire assembly has melted to pieces. This is a safety concern and can result in someone's vehicle burning to the ground and possible injury to someone. This is not ok that my fog lights are catching fire like they are doing that is from the manufacturer. I'm being held responsible for repairs also that's not ok as I'm not at fault for this occurring.
I WAS JUMPING OOFF MY GF CAR FOR THE 10TH TIME OVER A COURSE OF TIME, THIS TIME FOR SOME REASON MY JEEP CAUGHT FIRE AND NOW IS TOTALED AND IT ALSO CAUSED HER CAR TO CATCH FIRE. SO NOT ONLY DID IT DAMAGE MY JEEP BUT DAMAGED HER CAR AS WELL.

An impact on the brake pedals can cause the pedal arm and the brake pedal lever to disengage. Moreover, the unlocking lever has a low stiffness due to variations in clamping force and friction. Both these reasons can lead the brake pedals to collapse during braking, preventing the driver from activating the service brakes. This could impair the braking performance, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
The electrical cable connection to the vehicle's Integrated Dual Charge Module (IDCM) may not be tightened to the correct torque. This can result in the 12-volt battery not being charged, which can cause the vehicle to shut down unexpectedly, thereby increasing the risk of an accident and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
