2016 Jeep Renegade

WHEN IDLE (STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC LIGHT) AND APPLIED GAS TO ACCELERATE, A READING COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD OF "VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT" AND THE MESSAGES DISAPPEARS QUICKLY. THE CAR STOPS, I HAVE TO RESET TO PARK, TURN OFF THE CAR, START IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS IN THE WORST OF TIMES, IN TRAFFIC, RANDOMLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 2018.

MY CAR STALLED TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION. IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS TURNING LEFT AND THEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND A NOTIFICATION SIGNALED ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE CAR MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO OIL IN MY CAR. THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD TO WARN ME THAT MY OIL WAS LOW. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS 6,000 MILES AGO, PRIOR TO THE ONE I RECEIVED TODAY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT THAT APPEARED. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR NOW. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS REPORTED IN ONLINE FORUMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

ON 3 OR 4 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE 4 X 4 9 SPEED LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. IN DRY CONDITIONS MY JEEPS ANTI TRACTION LIGHT WILL COME ON THE DASH, AND I LOSE ALL POWER FOR 5-10 SECONDS. IT STOPS, NO GAS . IT DOESNT SHUT OFF, IT LOSES ALL POWER. LAST TIME I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN, THE LIGHTS CHANGED TO GREEN, I TURNED ON MY BLINKER TO TURN LEFT GOING LESS THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR AND IT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN WITH A CAR BEHIND ME MY JEEP STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET DEAD FOR 5-10 SECONDS. I THOUGHT I WOULD BE REAR ENDED SINCE IT WAS ABRUPT.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED MAY 16, 2016. ON AUGUST 6, 2016 THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE LIGHTS SHUTOFF COMPLETELY. IT ONLY TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 20-30 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON AND STAYED ON. AFTER THE STOP, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART, DID NOT TURN OVER; ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED. SHORTLY AFTER THE COMPLETE SHUTOFF, THE VEHICLE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP, THE BODY SHOP IS ALSO UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY AND SEAT BELTS AND THE LIGHT INDICATING THE FUEL SHUTOFF IS STILL ON.
