15 RENEGADE LIMITED ** A FEW ISSUES ***FIRST I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS 4/27/16 WITH 9030 MILES THEN HAD TO REPLACE AGAIN 9/28/16 WITH 16611 MILES ..... SECOND *** WHEN DRIVING MY ON HIGHWAY NORMAL SPEEDS MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY ACT LIKE IT IS NEUTRAL WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR FEW SECONDS THEN WILL WORK FINE ( HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES TO ME MONTHS APART) THIRD*** WHEN MAKING TURNS ON DRY ROADS MY STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON TRACTION CONTROL BLINKS NO ACCELERATION HAPPENS AT RANDOM A FEW TIMES ONE TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED 10/3 520PM ... I NOW AGAIN HEAR NOISE WHEN BRAKING AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES IT GETS MORE NOTICEABLE THE LONGER I DRIVE ..I AM FEELING UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE NEVER KNOWING WHEN THESE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN NEXT NOT TO MENTION NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD REPLACING BRAKES AND ROTORS A FEW THOUSAND MILES. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AND NEED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE JEEP LOSES POWER AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS.. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHRYSLER FIAT BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT AS IT IS IN JEEP FORUMS EVERYWHERE. I FEEL IT IS TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

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!

SEPT. 27, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH! I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON OLD US12, JUST LEAVING CHELSEA, GAINING SPEED. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME, NOTHING IN FRONT, BESIDE, OR TURNING NEAR ME. THERE WERE NO ANIMALS IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO LOCK UP. I WAS DRIVING A FRIEND HOME, ALL SHE NOTICED WAS THE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY DROVE MY FRIEND HOME AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, I TOLD THEM I WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURED OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. IT IS NOT SAFE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE DIPSTICK SHOWED NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO PRODUCE A FAULT CODE FOR THE VEHICLE STALLING. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

CASE #: [XXX] VIN: [XXX] VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CHRYSLER ASPEN LIMITED 4X2 SPORT UTILITY 4-DOOR GOOD MORNING - I DROPPED MY CAR OFF TO BE SERVICED YESTERDAY FOR THE CLAIM AS ADVISED AFTER WORK YESTERDAY. I WAS GIVEN A JEEP RENEGADE AS A LOANER. WHY WAS I NOT ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION LAST NIGHT. AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER SALES REP [XXX] WHO WAS VERY HELPFUL. HE ADVISED IF THE CAR WAS IN A SAFE PLACE TO LEAVE THE WINDOW DOWN. THE CAR WAS IN MY GARAGE. I DROVE IT BACK TO THE STATELINE CHRYSLER AND AFTER EXPLAINING THE SITUATION, AND AFTER DOUBLE CHECKING THE SITUATION, QUAN OR QUAL W/ STATELINE CHRYSLER NOT [XXX] WERE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION EITHER. I WAS AN HOUR AN A HALF LATE FOR WORK DUE TO THIS SITUATION. I DID NOT WANT TO KEEP A CAR AND BE STUCK ANY LONGER WITH THIS SITUATION.
