2017 Jeep Renegade

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE PUSH TO START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ADDITIONALLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SUGGESTED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BE SHIFTED TO THE PARK POSITION BEFORE SHIFTING INTO A DRIVE GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COUGHLIN MARYSVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 15777 WATKINS RD, MARYSVILLE, OH 43040, (937) 246-5386) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO THE TYPE OF FUEL AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TWO QUARTS LOW ON ENGINE OIL. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL SUCTION DOOR WAS MISALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL 18V731000. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN HIGH IN AUGUST AND THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS WHILE IN PARK, IN DRIVE, IN MOTION, AT RED LIGHTS, WHILE ACCELERATING, WHILE DECELERATING OR SIMPLY CRUISING AT STEADY RATE IN TOWN OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT FOR TWO TO THREE TANK FILLS OF GAS (MID AND PREMIUM GRADE). THE AIR FILTER WAS RECENTLY REPLACED AND LOOKS NORMAL. WE DISCOVERED THE RECALL MENTIONED ABOVE AND THE SYMPTOMS CERTAINLY SEEM SIMILAR.

I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IN MY VEHICLE TO OUR DEALERSHIP TWICE WITHIN 2 MONTHS ON THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR HAS BEEN SPUTTERING AT IDLE AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING IN BETWEEN 25-30MPH THE TRANSMISSION GETS A HARD KICK, IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF YOU ARE GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUG WIRES, AND SPARK PLUGS. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 32,000 MILES AND IS MOSTLY DRIVEN IN TOWN, I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING AT 65MPH OR HIGHER.

TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE, FIRST THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY NEW TIRES. THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME IT A REAR DRIVE AXLE MODULE CHRYSLER KNOW ABOUT IT AND TRYING TO FIND A FIX.I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS NOISE PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR, WITH THEM LOOKING AT ME LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.THE NOISE GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER THE FASTER I GO. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON THE FREEWAY WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE MY TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES BECAUSE THE REAR ONES WORE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD ON BOTH REAR TIRES COULD THIS BE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM?
