2016 Jeep Renegade

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MORNINGS (SINCE THE WEATHER HAS BEEN COOLER AT NIGHT) AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND DRIVING A COUPLE OF BLOCKS, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY STOP IN THE STREET WITH NO WARNING AND THE SCREEN WILL FLASH "THE CAR MUST BRAKE BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS". WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE CAR, IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. NO FLASHING ENGINE LIGHTS ON THE CONTROL PANEL AND NO CODE FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE (I WAS THERE TODAY). I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT NO OTHER CAR WAS BEHIND ME OR I WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. ONCE THE CAR HAS WARMED, THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. SO FAR, IT HAS ONLY OCCURRED FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WITH THE TEMP BELOW 68 DEGREES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IS A REAL DANGER.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR LOST POWER, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME OFF, LOST POWER STEERING, CAR SHUT DOWN. WOULDN'T START. CHECKED OIL, CALLED TOW TRUCK. I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR BACK TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD WHILE MY HUSBAND BACKED IT UP TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. TOW TRUCK GOT THERE, PUT CAN IN NEUTRAL, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF, CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF EMERGENCY BRAKE, PUSHED IT 20 OR SO TIMES, EMERGENCY BRAKE FINALLY TURNED OFF SO WE COULD BACK UP THE CAR SO THE TOW TRUCK COULD GET IT FRONT OF IT TO TOW. CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND IT IS DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE. THE CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY THIS SUMMER FOR WEEKS FOR ELECTRICAL LIGHTS GOING OFF AND THE CAR CONTINUING TO RUN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE JEEP RENEGADES NEED TO BE TOOK OFF THE ROAD.

THE BRAND AND MODEL OF THE TIRES OF MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE ARE GOOD YEAR EAGLE SPORT. WITH JUST 9 MONTHS OF USING THE BUS, THE TIRES BEGAN TO DENT AND PRESENT SOME HOLES. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE JEEP AND GOOD YEAR. THE REPRESENTATIVE OF GOOD YEAR TOLD ME THAT I COULD NOT HONOR THE DEFECT OF THE TIRES BECAUSE THOSE TIRES WERE NOT MADE FOR THE CLIMATE OF PUERTO RICO AND THAT THIS AN AESTHETIC DEFECT AND NOT INSECURE. WHICH I DISAGREE BECAUSE THEY CAN BREAK WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING.
