2015 Jeep Renegade

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THE LIGHTING AND THE DOOR LOCKS. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. SEVERAL UNKNOWN DEALERS WERE CONTACTED ABOUT THE SERIES OF FAILURES OVER A PERIOD OF 15 MONTHS EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALERS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE MATTER WAS IN THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT OF CHRYSLER. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,240.

I HAVE HAD THE JEEP FOR 18 MONTHS, BOUGHT BRAND NEW, AND HAVE IN SHOP AT LEAST 14 TIMES. THE SCARIEST PROBLEM WAS WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC, GOT UP TO ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE CAR WENT INTO "LOCKDOWN". CAR PUT ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL, AIR BAGS TURNED OFF, BRAKES DIDN'T WORK, AND JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER SYSTEM TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND THE 1ST 3 TIMES, THEY KEPT SAYING IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE. TURNED OUT THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT WAS READING IT WAS -40 DEGREES AND THIS CAUSED IT. NOW I HAVE A SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM WARNING, AFTER HAVING TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AFTER ONLY 28K MILES. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK ON LEMON LAW IN FLORIDA, BUT NOW MY JEEP REP IS GONE AND LOOKS LIKE I HAVE TO START THE PROCESS OVER. WHY DOESN'T JEEP JUST RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND I WON'T LET MY WIFE OR SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT I NEED IT TO GET TO WORK, RISKING MY LIFE EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOWN AND COUNTRY JEEP (3156 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STAND MODULE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE TO SHIP. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,200.

ONE PROBLEM I DEALT WITH WAS A CRACK ON MY FRONT WINDSHIELD FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, DEALERSHIP SHIP HAD ME BACK AND FORTH WITH THIS ! IT DOESN'T SHOW THAT SOMETHING HIT IT , THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE RADIO TURN OFF WITH OUT ME ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING OFF AFTER THAT . MEANING I COULDN'T TELL THE SPEED I WAS GOING AS I WAS DRIVING , GAS LEVEL , ANYTHING ELSE . AFTER IT TURN BACK ON THE EMERGENCY BREAK GOES OFF AND I'M ON THE FREEWAY AND ALMOST COST A SEROUS CRASH. THE LAST THIS THAT HAPPEN ON SATURDAY 6/17/2017 WAS THE SAME THING WITH THE RADIO GOING OFF AND AC NOT WORKING AT ALL AND OVER HEATING. TURN OFF MY CAR AND IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE RADIATOR. SECOND TIME I SEEN IT OVER HEAT AND LOW ON THE RADIATOR. I HAVE COMPLAIN MANY TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP SHIP ABOUT ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS AND THE EMERGENCY BREAK SETTING OFF WHEN I'M ON THE FREEWAY . THE FRONT WINDSHIELD I COMPLAIN SINCE I GOT MY CAR . ALL THEY DID WAS HAVE ME BACK AND FORTH WITH IT . ALSO THE BACK SET SEATBELT SIT BELTS SOMETIMES LOCK WHERE YOU CAN'T PUT IT ON OR IT'S STUCK .

THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS VEHICLE REFERENCE NUMBER (FEBRUARY 21 2017 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10956054). THE CAR WILL OCCASSIONALY SIMPLY STOP WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING, BUT THE NORMAL PROBLEM IS QUITTING AS WE ARE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. THIS CAR WAS IN THE SHOP IN FEBRUARY FOR OVER A WEEK, WHERE THEY SERVICED A RECALL. THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED AND ONLY BEING INSTALLED WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS. MY WIFE IS CURRENTLY DRIVING HER CAR BACK FROM SOUTH CAROLINA AND HAS HAD THIS ISSUE TWICE SINCE LEAVING. IT IS NOT THROWING ANY INDICATORS, WARNINGS OR SOUNDS.

I'VE HAD SHIFTING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 1 YEAR NOW. VEHICLE SHIFTS ROUGH AND SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY AND RANDOMLY EVERYDAY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 5 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION AND STATEMENTS STATING THEY "CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS" WITH MY TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE SURGES WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND ADHERES MY VEHICLE FROM BRAKING ADEQUATELY TO THE POINT WHERE I'M NERVOUS IT WILL PUSH ME INTO A STOPPING CAR IN FROM OF ME.

APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS DIED FOUR TIMES, THE KEY FOB(S) WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, THE CLOCK CONTINUOUSLY RESETS THE DATE/TIME, AND THE WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ONCE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE JEEP'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TWICE DUE TO DEAD BATTERIES. THIS WEEKEND, THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING AND IT DOES NOT TURN ON. THESE CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS BOTH THE USE AND VALUE OF MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, IT PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY; WINTER IS UPON US AND MY WIFE UTILIZES THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR TWO CHILDREN, WHOM ARE EACH UNDER THE AGE OF THREE YEARS OLD. THE THOUGHT OF THEM BEING STRANDED WITH NO HEATER DUE TO CONTINUOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES IS UNNERVING. I INITIALLY CONSIDERED THIS TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT; HOWEVER, I'VE ASKED TWO ADDITIONAL 2015 JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS IF THEY HAVE ENCOUNTERED ANY SIMILAR INSTANCES - BOTH HAVE RETURNED THEIR RENEGADE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THEM THE VEHICLE SIMPLY NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS IS NOT A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE!
