| Description of the problem | The engine on my 2016 renegade with only 32000 miles on it began making a loud knocking sound while idling. After researching online, i determined it was most likely the radiator fan that had either come loose or was bent. It appears that this is an extremely common problem with this make and model due to the multiple online complaints. Of course it happens right past the original warrant expiration so that it is not covered. The cost to fix this was $620 and they had to replace my whole fan assembly. |
