2015 Jeep Renegade complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RIEDMAN MOTORS CO INC, LOCATED AT 610 N GRAND AVE, CONNERSVILLE, IN 47331, FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE RESET HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ISSUE CAUSED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS WILL START TO SURGE THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK OUT OF MY HANDS PREVENTING ME FROM TURNING THE WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION (LOCKS UP). IF I DON'T IMMEDIATELY PARK THE CAR, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF ON THEN A BUNCH OF WARNINGS WILL POP UP ON THE DASHBOARD THEN DYNAMIC POWER STEERING WARNING WITH FLASH. I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES AT LEAST BEFORE BEING ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT RED LIGHTS, TURNING INTO TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 75MPH AND/OR 30MPH.

MY JEEP RENEGADE STALLS WHEN I MAKE A SLOW SPEED TURN. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN TO GET ON THE ON RAMP TO A LAH, THE CAR DIES. I ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BY PEOPLE TRYING TO GO UP THE ON -RAMP BEHIND ME. THE CAR DIES WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN CROSSING TRAFFIC & I ALMOST GOT KILLED. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS. THESE INCIDENTS TAKE PLACE ON DRY PAVEMENT. I NOW SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ARE POSTING COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ON A JEEP FORUM. WHY HAS JEEP / FCA NOT ADDRESSED THIS ? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR DIES FOR NO REASON AND YOU CAN NOT MOVE THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RE-CALL ON THIS. THERE ARE DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS & NOTHING IS BEING DONE! MY CAR SHUTS DOWN FOR NO REASON.

THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON TOO LONG WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. NO BIG DEAL I THOUGHT... I JUMPSTART THE CAR PER OWNERS MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS (IT HAS A COMPLEX BATTERY SO EVEN THOUGH I'VE JUMP STARTED MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WEREN'T SPECIAL PROCEDURES, IT ENDED UP BEING PRETTY STANDARD). WHEN IT DIED IT WAS IN A GARAGE SO I HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE GEAR SELECTOR TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT INTO POSITION FOR A JUMP CONNECTION. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND LET THE BATTERY CHARGE UP A WHILE. ONCE THE CAR CHARGED UP ENOUGH, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. AT THIS POINT I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE CLEAR, THAT'S WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING FINE, TRANSMISSION WAS FINE BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS LOCKED INTO PARK. I WAS BLOCKING THE ROAD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE I WAS MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE GEAR SELECTOR, I FINALLY GET THE CAR TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. ONLY THE ENGINE WOULD REV, NO MOVEMENT. TRY TO REVERSE, SAME THING. AT THIS POINT I COULDN'T GET THE CAR BACK INTO PARK. I PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO THE GARAGE TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AND GO TO TURN IT OFF. THE RENEGADE (PUSH BUTTON START) WILL NOT LET YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IN ANY GEAR BUT PARK. IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. AFTER STRUGGLING MORE TO FORCE IT BACK INTO PARK, I FINALLY GET IT AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T GET STUCK IN D OR R IF IT STAR

MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE HAS A DEFECT . THE KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT NEW. IT IS AN ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN'T JUST WALK AWAY FROM MY VEHICLE WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE IT CAN GET STOLEN. I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THOUGH I TRY EVERYTHING, EVEN STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND DRIVING IT AROUND FOR A LITTLE LONGER. EVEN THE CAR SERVICE PERSONNEL HAVE COMPLAINED THAT THEY CAN'T GET THE KEY OUT.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD BETWEEN GEARS. IT WILL STALL THEN LURCH FORWARDS WHEN HITTING THE GAS PEDAL. IT VIBRATES VERY HARD WHILE IDLING (LIKE AT A STOP LIGHT) ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THE PUSHED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS HELPED, BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUES FOR A FEW WEEKS (AT MOST). IT IS NOW SCHEDULED TO BE DROPPED OFF AGAIN.

DOORS WILL NOT LOCK / UNLOCK WITH KEY FAB. LIGHTS FLASH AS IF LOCKING BUT DONT LOCK. JEEP REMAINS OPEN AND VULNERABLE TO THEFT WITHOUT YOU KNOWING.

RETURNING HOME ON HIGHWAY CHRISTMAS DAY. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WAS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR. HAD TO BE TOWED HOME.

I AM CONTACTING YOU DUE TO DUE TO BAXTER SERVICE REP PAUL AT BAXTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER REFUSAL TO REPAIR RECALLS FOR MY JEEP RENEGADE. THE RECALLS THAT GENERATE FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY ALLSTATE ARE INDEED RECALLS MY VEHICLE NEEDS BASED ON PERFORMANCE ISSUES. HE INFORMED ME THAT THEY'RE NOT RECALLS, AND WHEN I SAID ALLSTATE MADE THEM UP, HE SAID 'YEAH'! THE INFORMATION FOR THE 4 RECALLS ARE FROM DATA.GOV. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT BAXTER SAYS THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO REPAIR THE RECALL (FOR ENGINE COOLING FAN) THAT CHRYSLER WEBSITE SHOWS! PLEASE ADVISE &/OR ASSIST TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE! I HAVE REPORTED TO THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MGR JUSTIN SUNQUIST AND BBB AS WELL. THANKS

THIS HAS BEEN AN ON AND OFF GOING ISSUE. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREETS. A WARNING APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IN ORDER TO SWITCH GEARS. SOMETIMES IT PUTS ME IN NEUTRAL WHEN I'M AT A STREET LIGHT. I'D HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO DRIVE AGAIN BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. SEVERAL TIMES I TRY TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF AND IT WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK LIKE NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE. IT'S BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND WORSE NOW.

I HAD THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON IT. THE THERMOSTAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOT EVEN 9 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, IT WAS CHECKED, AND NOW MY THERMOSTAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP TURN MY CAR OFF PUMP THE GAS AND THEN RESTART. THE FIRST THREE MONTH OF THE PURCHASE I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WOULDN'T NOT START AGAIN NO MATTER HOW LONG IT WAS BEING JUMPED OFF . I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK WHO USED SPECIAL JUMP BOX AND HE STILL COULDN'T GET IT TO CRANK. NOW HERE IT IS A LESS THAN A YEAR LATER AND THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

MY OIL CHANGE IS NOT EVEN DUE AND I GET ALARM OF LOW OIL, WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE STOPS, AND DON'T START, I WAS TURNING AND IT JUST STOPPED I CULD HAD BEEN HIT BY ANY CAR COMING

SHIFTER/GEAR ON 2015 JEEP RENEGADE IS STUCK IN PARK. CANNOT TAKE CAR OUT OF PARK. CAR STARTS BUT CANNOT MOVE IT DUE TO GEAR SHIRT BEING STUCK IN PARK. THIS MAY BE A MANUFACTORS DEFECT. CHECK VIN BUT NO RECALLS CAME UP. OUR MECHANIC MENTIONED THERE MAY BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR DUE TO FAULTY SHIFTER.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT RANDOM TIMES. IT FINALLY DOES START AGAIN AND THEN THROWS COMPUTER ERRORS. IT HAS ALSO SHUT DOWN NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SOME OF THESE INSTANCES WERE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND OTHERS WERE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN DO NOT LOAD THEM IN THIS JEEP! WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP WILL STRUGGLE TO GET UP TO SPEED AND SOUNDED LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED AT A HIGH SPEED. I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP TO SEE IF SOMETHING FELL OFF. TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE ITS SLIPPING. NOT EVERY TIME BUT IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN IT HAS MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE AND I DO NOT GO OUT OF TOWN OR LONG TRIPS OVER 45 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. . EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND ASK WHATS GOING ON THEY SAY ITS HOW THE JEEP RENEGADE WAS MADE, ITS NORMAL FOR IT TO DO ALL THIS.

I AM ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC AT A FULL STOP, AND THE CAR DOESN'T TURN OFF, BUT IT WON'T MOVE WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS. MAKES NO NOISE LIKE IT IS OFF. HAVE TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. IT HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR.

WHEN TURNING ON CAR ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN EACH ONE STARTED FLICKERING ONE BY ONE. THEN MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON. CAR WOULD START BUT LOCKED ITSELF AND COULDN'T SHIFT GEARS . I TRIED UNLOCKING IT AND SHIFTED TO REVERSE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD GET STUCK IN THAT GEAR SO HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK AND SHIFT TO DRIVE AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE. COULDN'T TURNED IT OFF GEAR SHIFT WOULD LOCK ITSELF. HAPPENED WHILE HEADING BACK HOME. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAW THE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION. THEY ENDED UP DOING SOMETHING ELSE THAT I DIDN'T SAY YES TO NOW THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR IT AND WHILE MY CAR WAS GETTING REPAIRED. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR, I GET IN CAR ACCIDENT IN THEIR LOANER CAR I HAD INSURANCE BUT ONLY LIABILITY. DEALERSHIP WON'T GIVE MY CAR BACK UNTIL I PAY IN CASH A DEDUCTIBLE OF 2,500 AND PLUS REPAIRS I DIDN'T AGREE TO.

WHEN I STOP AND PARK THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLS IN PARK BEFORE COMPLETELY STOPPING IN PARK

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING. ALL LIGHTS FLASH ON DASHBOARD FLASH. SHIFTER FROZE.

STARTING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN HAS TROUBLE GETTING INTO GEAR. IT HAPPENS GETTING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. WHEN I SWITCH FROM THE BREAK PEDDLE TO THE GAS PEDDLE AND GENTLY PRESS ON IT, THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN HAS TROUBLE FINDING THE GEAR. THE HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ALSO. STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, I GENTLY PRESS THE GAS, ONLY TO FIND THAT MY CAR WILL NOT GO. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT TRIES TO SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR AND IT HAS TROUBLE GETTING THERE. IT HAS HAPPENED 60-70 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR, BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. I HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS THE FIRST YEAR I GOT THE CAR, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I FEEL LIKE IT'S A SAFETY RISK.

THE IGNITION WHEN TURNED OFF WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY. PUSHING IN THEN OUT DOES NOT RELEASE. PULLING ONLY DOES NOT RELEASE. CAR MUST BE TURNED ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET LUCKY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN TRYING TO START VEHICLE, KEY WILL OFTEN NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION DESPITE WHEEL NOT BEING LOCKED. AGAIN, MUST PUT IN PULL OUT REPEATEDLY AND TURN WHEEL, WHICH IS DIFFICULT WHEN CAR IS OFF, AND EVENTUALLY GET LUCKY.

I LIVE OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN HOUSTON, TX. I FEEL I PLAY A GAME OF CHICKEN EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO TURN OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN MY JEEP RENEGADE. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES, THE ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON. A HOST OF NEW ELECTRICAL MESSAGES MAY OR MANY NOT POP UP. I HAVE HAD LIGHTS STOP AND START WORKING. THE CAR CUT OFF WHEN MAKING A TURN AS THE CAR IS BURNING INSANE AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT IS NOT THE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE I HAD HOPED FOR. I UNDERSTAND SOME ISSUES HOWEVER THERE APPEARS TO BE A NEW ONE ALMOST WEEKLY. I HAVE HIRED A LAWYER TO INVESTIGATE MY CASE S THIS THE ABSOLUTE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE CAR JERKS LIKE SOMEONE IS SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF YOU WHEN GOING 15 MPH OR LESS. IT LOSES POWER AND HESITATES ON TAKEOFF. THE CAR SUFFERS FROM MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND I FEEL THIS IS A CASH COW FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO KEEP OWNERS SERVING THEIR VEHICLES ON A REGULAR BASIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MANY OWNERS GIVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND THE SAME ISSUES, HOWEVER NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO LISTEN OR HOLD THE MANUFACTURE ACCOUNTABLE.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES SO BADLY GOING INTO SECOND GEAR THAT I AM CONSTANTLY ALMOST REAR ENDED, AND BEING SCREAMED AT BY OTHER MOTORISTS, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. IF YOU'RE NOT AT A COMPLETE STOP, IT'S NOT AS BADR. BUT FORGET IT IF YOU HAVE TO STOP FOR OVER 3 SECONDS. TRAFFIC AND PARKING LOT SEEMS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE WORSE (IF YOU'RE KEEPING IT AT 15 MPH OR UNDER IT SEEMS. FIRST THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY, THEN 2 TRANS MOUNTS, ALL AT A COST TO ME, BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANS. TRANSMISSION WAS SUPPOSEDLY "REPLACED" UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. ALSO, NOW HAVING ENGINE REPLACED, BECAUSE IT BURNS 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THIS CAR.

GOT INTO JEEP TO GO HOME FROM WORK AND I LOOK DOWN THE SCREEN IS TELLING ME MY LEFT SIGNAL, PARKING LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS WORKING FINE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT IT DID IT AGAIN WILL I WAS DRIVING THIS TIME THE LITTLE LIGHT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN POPPED ON AND CAUGHT MY ATTENTION,SO I CHANGED ALL THE BULBS AND STILL NOTHING SO I CHECK FUSE IT'S GOOD. TAKE TO SHOP AND FIND OUT THE CONNECTOR SHORTED OUT AND THE WIRES WERE CORRODED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HAD I NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION AND HAD MY HUSBAND DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE IT WASN'T WORKING I MAY HAVE NEVER FOUND THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD AND THE SECOND TIME WAS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 5TH

APX 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE CAR WOULD NOT START IN MY DRIVEWAY. DIFF CODES WOULD APPEAR AND IT LOCKED UP. TOWED TO DEALER AND BATTERY REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO STOP ON LOCAL ROADS CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE REARENDED AND CHECK OIL LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND SERVICE ENGINE ICON AND CAR WOULD STALL. ON DIFF OCCASIONS WHEN TRYING TO START CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY IT WOULD EITHER NOT START OR BARELY TURN OVER AND HAVE NO ACCELARITION OR 3 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. CAR WOULD STALL ABOUT 4 BLOCKS FROM HOUSE WHEN I CAME TO STOP. TRANSMISSION REPLACED AND THE REAR END FEELING FIXED. CAR HAD OIL CHANGE APPT RECENTLY AND DAY OF APPT IT WOULD NOT START AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HALF HOUR LATER CAR STARTED AND I TOOK IT TO DEALER. SERVICE SAID PROBLEM FIXED. WEEK LATER SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID PROBLEM FIXED COME GET CAR. SERVICE CALLED ME AND SAID CAR WOULDNT START FOR THEM EVEN THO THEY FIXED IT. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN SHOP 3 WEEKS WAITING ON PART. PART EDT IS NOW 9/11/19. I ALSO HAD MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED AND NOW DEALER ALSO SAYS PROBLEM WITH MY SUSPENSION AND THAT HAS CAUSED MY YEAR OLD TIRES TO WEAR THIN. NO PHOTOS TO SUBMIT. DATES CAR AFFECTED APPROX.

JEEP ENGINE DIES DURING HOT WEATHER, PULLING UP STEEP HILLS OR TOWING EVEN SMALL LIGHT TRAILERS AND GOING UP A SLIGHT GRADE! I HAVE HAD MY JEEP IN THE SHOP AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BUT THEY DO NOT GIVE ME ANY PAPERWORK BECAUSE THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND ALL 2.4L ENGINES IN THE RENEGADE HAVE THIS PROBLEM!!!

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION . 30000 MILES IN THE ENGINE AND IT GOES THROUGH OIL MORE OFTEN THAN THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES. MAJOR ACCIDENT ISSUE, CAUSED BY ENGINE STALLINGS DUE TO UNEXPECTEDLY LOW OIL. ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY

THIS JEEP WITH APPROXIMATELY COUPLE MONTHS OF PURCHASE THE WHOLE COMPUTER SYSTEM WENT BLANK AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL FOR SOME PART.THEN THEN THE BATTERY AND SOME OTHER PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. SOON AFTER THE ENGINE MOUNT. THEN THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. NOW AGAIN THE COOLANT SYSTEM IS OVER HEATING AGAIN, TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO DETECT THE PROBLEM I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. BUT WE RECEIVED A LETTER OVER A YEAR AGO STATING THAT THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE IS BACK IN WARRANTY SINCE THERE SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THOSE VEHICLE. NOW I HOPE I CAN GET THIS LETTER TO TAKE TO THE DEALER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

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?

2015 JEEP RENEGADE LIMITED 4X4 HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING IT USED FROM DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY 2019. IT STALLS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE TO PUT IN PARK, PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, AND THEN PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN WITH FOOT ON BREAK TO START IT AGAIN. THANKFULLY THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY (10-15 MPH) IN A LINE OF CARS TOWARDS A STOP SIGN HOWEVER THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE!

I GOT UP TO GET READY TO GO TO CHOIR REHEARSAL MY JEEP WOULD NOT CRANK, AND THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE SWITCH, IT TOOK ALMOST 30 MINUTES TO GET THE KEY OUT, FINALLY THE JEEP CRANKED BUT I COULD NOT GET THE GEAR TO GO INTO REVERSE, DRIVE OR NOTHING, AND ON THE DASH BOARD WHERE IT TELLS YOU HOW MANY MILES YOU HAVE ON THE AUTOMOBILE IT WAS BLINKING AND ALSO ON THE DASH BOARD IT SAY SERVICE TRANSMISSION.. I HAVE READ ON YOUR SITE AS I WAS SEARCHING TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, SO MANY OF THESE JEEP SEEM TO DO THIS WHEN THEY REACH 40 THOUSAND MILES. I AM GRATEFUL THAT I WAS NOT ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPEN THE JEEP SEEM TO HAVE LOST SPEED IFOR A BRIEF MOMENT, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

THE ENGINE OVER HEATS AT HIGH SPEED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME SAY 70 TO 80 MPH OR GOING UP GRADES AT SPEED OR PULLING A SMALL TRAILER. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A NORMAL COMPLAINT ON THIS MODEL JEEP! THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW!!!! NO PHOTOS ARE NECESSARY! THIS DATE IS JUST THE LAST TIME IT HAS STALLED BUT I WAS WITH MY WIFE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH CONCERNED ME! FOR HER SAFETY!!

"TAKATA RECALL". MY KEY KEEP GETTING STUCK IN IGNITION AND MY JEEP WILL NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. IT WILL SOMETIME CRANK, BUT IT TAKE FOREVER TO GET THE KEY OUT. MY JEEP IS STILL NEW AND IT IS MY OWN MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. IT IS AT 40 THOUSANDS MILE. .NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CAN NOT GET IT TO LEAVE OUT OF PARK.

TEMPERATURE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE IDLING. COOLING FAN NOT WORKING AT ALL. FAN FAILED AND FUSE BLOWN.

DRIVER WAS GOING 70MPH WHEN FRONT LEFT TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM TIRE CAUSING DAMAGE TO DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE.

CAR WILL FAIL SPORADICALLY TO ACCELERATE WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC I WAS ALMOST HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES MORE THAN ONCE I'VE TALKED TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME CAR AND ALL OF THEM DESCRIBED THE SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

NOT EVEN 1 MONTH OF PURCHASING THE JEEP I WAS DRIVING ON I 40 WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE JEEP SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL SO SHIFTED IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO LARRY H MILLER AND THEY HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS I GOT IT BACK AND SINCE THAT DAY IT POPS INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN AT LEAST 5 MORE TIMES THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING IT ON A BUSINESS ROAD SO NOW I ALWAYS HAVE TO KEEP MY HAND ON THE SHIFTER JUST INASE IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND ALSO MY LIGHTS KEEP GOING DIM MY RADIO LIGHTS AND MY LIGHT IN THE WHOLE JEEP AND EVERY TIME APON ACCELERATION THE JEEP SEEMS LIKE IT SKIPS.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T STAY UP. THIS ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I DEALT WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE FINALLY BUYING A NEW ONE. HAVING REPLACED IT ONCE ALREADY, I KNEW THIS LIKELY WASNT GOING TO BE A RECALL ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT IN JEEP FORUMS EVERY YEAR. NOW, 4 MONTHS AFTER REPLACING IT, IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE THINGS I DONT LIKE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE VISOR IS CONSTANTLY FALLING DOWN IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE JERKS FORWARD WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALSO HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING 30 M.P.H. OR LESS AND TRY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR WILL JERK FORWARD AND BACK, THEN OPERATE NORMAL. MY REPORTED THIS ISSUE WITH MY DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SENT ME OFF. I'VE GONE TO THEM TWICE, AND SIMPLY GAVE UP, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2015. IT'S VERY ANNOYING, BUT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, ALTHOUGH, MANY CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. SAME MODEL YEAR (2015), WE'RE ALL NOT CRAZY, THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 RENEGADE'S TRANSMISSION.

IT WAS WORKING FINE THEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING. THE SHIFT GEAR WON'T MOVE AND IT WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN ITS IN DRIVE. CAR SHAKES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

ON THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. PUT FOOT ON GAS, AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. HAD TO CHANGE GEAR, AND RESTART ENGINE TO MOVE.

IT STARTED AS A WOBBLE TYPE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR. SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATES AND I NOTICE A CHANGE IN MY AC. ON MY WAY TO DETROIT MY TEMP GAUGE REACHES MAX, THUS ILLUMINATING A RED TEMP WARNING. I QUICKLY FOUND A PAY-TO-PARK LOT NEAR MY DESTINATION. WHILE ALLOWING TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO COOL DOWN, I GOOGLED MY ENGINE LIGHT AND OVERHEATING ISSUE. RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY DIAGNOSE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE INVOLVING A WOBBLY COOLING FAN AND A BLOWN 50A FUSE. FORTUNATELY THE NIGHT COOLED AND I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME WITHOUT AC NOR THE AID OF AN OPERATING COOLING FAN. MY STORIES SIMILAR TO COUNTLESS OTHERS. I'VE SEEN ONE VIDEO CLAIMING A RECALL FIX POSTED LAST MONTH. IT APPEARS A SHIELD HAS BEEN ADDED...I BELIEVE THAT'LL DEFINITELY FIX THE POORLY ENGINEERED ISSUE INVOLVING THE PROXIMITY OF THE FAN TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE AT APPROX 23K MILES IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED SHIFTING HARD. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE KNOW TO DO THAT SO WE DIDN'T PURSUE THE ISSUE! HOWEVER IN JULY 2017 WHEN ON A TRIP TO MARYLAND WHILE CLIMBING MOUNTAINS AND COMING DOWN THEM THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 4TH GEAR. ON THE DOWN SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN WHEN IT WOULDN'T SHIFT WE WOULD HAVE TO PULL TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TRY TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AGAIN AT 70+ MPH. OUR TRANSMISSION ACTED UP MORE THAN 4 TIMES DOING THIS. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO IT AND THEY KEEP STATING THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE LIVE IN INDIANA AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT THE SAME HOWEVER THE HARD SHIFTING OCCURS HERE. WE ARE STILL UNDER ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AT THIS TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2015 JEEP RENEGADE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE OR ABLE TO BE DONE TO FIX THE ISSUES!

THERE'S IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO THE WINDSHIELD AND JEEP HAS THEM ON BACKORDER SINCE 2018. IT'S BEEN OVER A MONTH AND JEEP CANNOT PROVIDE RELEASE DATE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY AND VISIBILITY ISSUE

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SPEED WILL SHIFT KIND OF LIKE FROM NEUTRAL TO FIRST AND SO FOR. WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL BUT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME AND ALMOST PRODUCES A CRASH. WHILE ON THE TURNPIKE I TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROMPTLY, IT FEELS AS IF IT GETS STUCK AND THEN IT GIVES A BIG KICK. WHILE AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN ON OTHER DAYS, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND GIVES A KICK AND PROCEEDS TO MOVE IN A SLOW MOTION THEN GIVE ANOTHER KICK AND CONTINUE TO MOVE. IT FEELS AS IF THE SHIFT SHIFTS ON THEIR OWN AND ACCELERATION DOES NOT RESPOND ON TIME. ANOTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT AND I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. IT WAS MY TURN TO GO AND AS I SLOWLY ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE WILL GIVE A KICK AND PROCEED TO MOVE SLOWLY. ON ANOTHER INSTANCE, I STOPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I PROCEEDED TO MOVE, THE CAR GAVE ANOTHER SLOW KICK AND EVENTUALLY DECIDED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW INTENSE I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR IT STILL TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO RESPOND AND AVCTUALLY STARTS ACCELERATING. IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEMS AND AM GENUINELY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR I FEEL ONE DAY IT MIGHT NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR ON THE ROAD. WHILE AM PARKED ND CHANGE THE SHIFT FROM PARKING TO DRIVE, THE CAR AGAIN GIVES A QUICK AND THEN DECIDES TO MOVE. IT'S A SCARY EXPERIENCE TO FEEL THAT THE CAR I DRIVE AND AM.PAYING FOR WILL NOT ACCELERAT

COOLING FAN IS MALFUNCTIONING AS MANY OTHERS APPARANTLY HAVE. THE ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT IF AT REST OR MAKING FREQUENT STOPS (CITY DRIVING).

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CAN VARY FROM A SHORT BURST OF SPEED AND A SPUDUR TO A LONG TERM ACCELERATION THAT ONLY STOPS WHEN APPLYING THE BREAK. EVEN WHEN STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WILL RAISE RPMS CONSIDERABLY WANTING TO LURCH FORWARD IF NOT IN PARK. THIS ISSUE BEGAN TO BE NOTICEABLE AROUND THE 25,000 MILE MARK IN MY CASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WOULD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACK WHEN MAKING MINIMAL CONTACT WITH MINOR OBJECTS IN THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REPLACED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, THE INSURANCE COMPANY SENT AN AUTO GLASS REPAIRMAN TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, YET THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

9 SPEED AUTONAMIC TRANSMISSION - CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WITH NO WARNING - CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND EVEN DEATH - I DRIVE EVERYDAY IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS WHERE SPEED LIIT IS 60 MPH TO 75MPH
