2016 Jeep Renegade

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAY OF 2020. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT A BARELY 5 YEAR OLD CAR IS ALREADY SHIFTING HARD. AND HAS TO GO UNDER MAINTENANCE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS NOT JUST MY CAR, BUT OVER 75% OF JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. IT IS UNSAFE. I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS ROLLING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR JERKED FORWARD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLLLLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! FIX THE ISSUE. NOW I HAVE TO STOP FARTHER FROM THE LIGHT OR SIGN BECAUSE I KNOW MY CAR IS GOING TO LUNGE FORWARD. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR I HAVE TO TREAT LIKE ITS 20 YEARS OLD, I WILL NEVER BE BUYING ANOTHER JEEP ANYTHING AGAIN. I WAS AN IMPALA OWNER FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES. EVEN WHEN MY IMPALA HIT 19 YEARS OLD AND HAD ALMOST 300,000 MILES. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD BY NO MEANS ACT LIKE THIS. NOW AFTER DROPPING 12,000 ON THIS CAR I HAVE TO LEAVE WORK, LOOSE MORE MONEY AND GO TO AN APPOINTMENT ON THE 21ST TO SEE IF WE CAN GET THIS ISSUE FIXED.

DUE TO UNKNOW REASONS THE DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT POSITIONAL CONTROLS IN MY JEEP RENEGADE HAVE BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE AND UNPREDICTABLE IN THEIR FUNCTIONALITY. THE DRIVER POWER SEAT MALFUNCTION LINGERS DESPITE SEVERAL TIME-CONSUMING VEHICLE EXAMINATIONS BY A FCA LOCAL AUTHORIZED JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE AGENT. THIS ISSUE PRESENTS A SAFETY AND HEALTH HAZARD TO ME WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

I LOVE MY RENEGADE BUT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS , FIRST AFTER ONLY HAVING IT FOR A FEW MONTHS BUYING IT DEC 2016 NEW THE FUEL PUMP BROKE AND I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN IT SAID I HAD A QUARTER TANK. THEN THE DRIVER SEAT BECAME STUCK FORWARD, I THOUGHT I FIXED IT IT WAS FINE NOW IT'S STUCK BACK. I HAVE TO USE A PILLOW BEHIND ME. THEN AT 40,000 MILES JUST ABOUT THE COOLANT FAN STARTED RATTLING AS IF SOMETHING WAS LOOSE, THEN IT STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC I HAD TO BLAST THE HEAT BECAUSE THE TEMP GAUGE WOULD GO RED. I CHECKED THE FUSE IT WAS BLOWN SO IT WAS CHANGED AND STILL NO FAN. SO I FIGURED IT'S THE COOLANT FAN RELAY AND THEY AREN'T EASY TO LOCATE. AUTO PARTS STORE AND JEEP PARTS AT THE DEALERSHIP ARE HARD TO TALK TO BECAUSE IT IS A FIAT PART. YOU WOULD THINK THE 2JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT SELL THEM WOULD KNOW THAT. NOW I SEE THAT A TON OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NEEDED THE FULL FAN ASSEMBLE REPLACED AND A NEW THERMOSTAT..I DO NOT HAVE MONEY FOR THIS. WHY NO RECALL

MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK VEHICLE HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IN THE DRIVER SEAT ELECTRICAL WIRING. THE DRIVER SEAT POWER SWITCHES CONTROLLING THE SEAT MOVEMENT HAVE BECOME NON-OPERATIONAL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND PRESENT A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE IS THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER SEAT WOULD BE LOCK INTO A POSITION LOCKING THE DRIVER IN THE SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CONDITION WOULD PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT A SPEEDY EVACUATION IS NECESSARY.

I AM REPORTING A POSSIBLE SAFETY PROBLEM THAT HAS DEVELOPED OVER RECENT MONTHS WITH MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK 4X4. THE VEHICLE HAS A RECURRING MALFUNCTION WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT ELECTRICAL WIRING ASSEMBLY. THE PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AFTER THE SEATBELT IS PROPERLY SECURED AND THERE IS NORMAL BODY MOVEMENT IN THE DRIVER SEAT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE PROBLEM SO FAR AFFECTS SEVERAL OF THE ELECTRONIC SUBSYSTEMS CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER SEAT. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS CAUSED TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT DISABLING OF THE DRIVER SEAT POWER CONTROLS, AIRBAG SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM AND SEATBELT WARNING SYSTEM.
