2015 Jeep Renegade

JEEP IS CONSISTENTLY JUMPING INTO GEAR WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE. MOST RECENTLY, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK IT LUNG FORWARD! (UNGOOD). WHILE DRIVING, PERIODICALLY GETS STUCK IN A GEAR. (?). AT LEAST TWICE, THE CAR HAS REFUSED TO TURN OVER UPON IGNITION ENGAGEMENT. SINCE I HAVE OBTAINED THE JEEP, ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE STEREO GIVES ME INTERMITTENT SIGNALS/SOUND, INCLUSIVE OF THE USB CONNECTIONS ETC. (NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE). THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT FOR SOME REASON OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT LATCH. SOMETHING IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE SOUNDS AS IF IT IS GOING TO FALL OF OR BREAK AT ANY TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR RUFF TERRAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO FOURTH GEAR ON ITS OWN. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED AND THEN SURGED SUDDENLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN APPROACHING A STOP AND WHILE TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DEALERS: THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS: CHAMPION CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4505 WEST 96TH STREET, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46268, (317) 872-6200) AND TOM O'BRIEN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM INDIANAPOLIS (4630 E 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240, (317) 805-4400). THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS PROVIDED, BUT THE DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY FOR THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN TURNING OR VEERING AT SEMI-LOW RATES OF SPEED (15-35 MPH), TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES REPEATEDLY AND ALL POWER TO ACCELERATOR IS LOST FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. THIS HAS REPEATEDLY PUT ME IN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. DESPITE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FINDING MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG AND SAID PROBLEM WAS FIXED AFTER A REFRESH UPDATE FOR BOTH COMPUTER SYSTEMS. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT FIXED AS IT HAPPENED TODAY AND I WAS ALMOST T-BONED IN AN INTERSECTION. ONLY HAS 23,120 MILES ON IT AND STILL UNDER JEEP WARRANTY. THIS BEGAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE.

WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL NOT SPEED UP. I PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT KEEPS GOING AT THE SAME SPEED. WHEN I BRAKE IT PULLS, LIKE IF I WAS REPEATEDLY PRESSING AND LETTING GO OF THE BRAKES. THE WHEELS HAVE WORN OUT TWICE, HAVING HAD NEW CARS BEFORE AND DRIVING THE SAME ROADS AND DISTANCE I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE FIXED MY BREAKS ONCE WICH IS UNUSUAL FOR HOW NEW THIS CAR IS AND NOW MY BREAKS ARE MAKING SQUEAKING NOISE.

WHILE DRIVING CAR LOST POWER LOOKED DOWN CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL BY ITSELF. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER RADIO N BACKUP CAMERA DID NOT TURN ON FINALLY DID AFTER PUSHING THE RADIO ON BUTTON THEN AFTER A FEW MILES JEEP STARTED BUCKING AND HEARD A WHINING NOISE WHILE STEPPING ON GAS. READ MAY COMPLAINTS AND THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WHILE DRIVING @ 50 MPH THE SECOND TIME I WAS STATIONARY STARTING UP AT FIRST THEN BUCKING N NOISE STARRED AT @ 30 MPH.
