2016 Jeep Renegade

I HAVE A RENEGADE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE CLUTCH WENT ON IT IN LESS THAN A YEAR AND ONLY 19,000 MILES. THE CLUTCH WAS SO BAD THAT THE FLYWHEEL COULD NOT BE RESURFACED. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL THING. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID I WAS PASSED WARRANTY. I SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CLUTCH AND THEY DENIED IT.

RADIATOR FAN IS FAILING AT 20,000 MILES NOT NOT KEEPING THE RADIATOR AND ENGINE COOL. THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND IDLING. JEEP HAS THIS PART ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA. I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD BE WEEKS BEFORE THE PART ARRIVES. I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT MANY OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM, AS WELL AS THE LONG DELAY FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE A RENTAL CAR THAT I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM JEEP.

RADIATOR FAN ASSEMBLY RATTLE AND VIBRATION ISSUE. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR TWO MONTHS FOR THIS ISSUE WAITING FOR A FIX FROM JEEP AND HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE VERY SAME ISSUE. THE CAR ALSO AT TIMES WILL NOT START WHEN THE START BUTTON IS PUSHED AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT IT IS NOT AN ISSUE BUT OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING OF IT AS WELL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2016 AND THE DEALERS HAS HAD THE CAR FOR 3+ PLUS MONTHS DURING THAT TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (ANCIRA EAGLE PASS FORD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 403I9 ADAMS CIR, EAGLE PASS, TX 78852) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAN FRACTURED. THE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER UNTIL MARCH 19, 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 33146932. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR TEN DAYS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

3 WEEKS AGO I HEARD A WOBBLING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD WHILE THE CAR WAS IDLING. IT WAS A DAY LATER I WAS ABLE CATCH WHAT IT WAS MAKING THE NOISE WHICH IS THE COOLING FAN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP NOT WANTING TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF OVERHEATING. THE ISSUE WAS CONFIRMED THERE AND AFTER TWO FALSE ARRIVAL DATES I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THY FINALLY ADMITTED THERE WAS NO DATE FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW FAN. I AM NOW PAYING FOR A CAR I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL GET BACK. MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES AND THE OLDER CAR I AM USING NOW IS NOT VERY RELIABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF TRAVEL.

THIS CAR IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. THE ACCELERATOR CHOOSES WHEN TO WORK. MY CAR HAS 35000 MILES ON IT AND WHEN I AM TURNING OR ON THE HIGHWAY OR JUST DRIVING NORMALLY, PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR IT HAS A TWO TO THREE SECOND DELAY BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE. THE DEALERSHIPS WON'T HELP ME AND IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS WITH MY THREE YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR! MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO AS OF TODAY I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR FAN FOR THE THIRD TIME. IT HAS BURNED UP TWICE BEFORE! HOW UNFAIR TO BUY A NEW CAR AND HAVE TO HAVE THESE OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSES AND SAFETY ISSUES!!! THIS HAS TO BE FIXED.
