2015 Jeep Renegade

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
