2021 Jeep Renegade

When traveling with the cruise control on, on the expressway, the speeddometer started to flicker on and off then totally went off. It lasted a couple of seconds and when it came back on my speed was at 55 mph. I was traveling at 75 when it started. This happens alot. Also the radio will sometimes blast its volume, change stations on its own or won't shut off. Last week my rear window went down and wouldn't go back up. These things happen occasionally but after shutting off the car and waiting it seems to clear for awhile. I took it into the dealer and was told there was nothing they could do, they had to wait for a fix for the software from Chrysler. I spoke with people from Chrysler and they told me the same thing. I leased this car in March and it is now August. How long do I have to wait for a fix? I am getting scared driving this car.

1. Checked my oil level at 2,000 miles and it was down by 1/2 quart. I added oil and took to dealer and they checked this out and told me these high compression engine will use oil. No warning signs. 2. Transmission from 1st to 2nd makes noise. Dealer told me this trans is a adaptive trans and if no one else drives this vehicle it will get better. In mornings it is still clunking but after it warms up it gets better. Feel like I'm driving a time bomb.

ON SUNDAY 1/17/21, I LEASED A CAR FROM THE DEALER LISTED ABOVE. I LEASED A 2021 FULLY LOADED JEEP RENEGADE EVEN AFTER THE HORRIBLE TREATMENT FROM THE RUDE IMPERSONAL SALESPERSON - AFTER ONLY TWO DAYS OF HAVING THE CAR, WE GOT BEGIN HAVING ISSUE WITH IT, THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT SAID, "STEREO SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE". THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED ALL SAFETY FEATURES TO TURN OFF AS WELL AS THE SPECIAL KENWOOD SOUND SYSTEM THAT WE PAID EXTRA FOR AS A PART OF THE LUXURY GROUP ADD ON. I LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE MYSELF AND IT STATED THAT IT HAD BEEN GOING ON IN THIS CAR SINCE THE 2018 MODEL. SINCE THEN, IT HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF DAILY. THAT MONDAY MORNING, WE CALL THE DEALER AND GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR TUESDAY MORNING. TUESDAY MORNING, WE DRIVE IN AND LEAVE THE CAR THERE. THEY CALL BACK IN THE AFTERNOON AND TELL US THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, AND THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM- AT THIS POINT WE HAD OPENED A CASE WITH CORPORATE. LATER IN THE EVENING WE GET A CALL TO COME AND GET THE CAR, WE STATED WE DID NOT WANT TO PICK UP THE CAR BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERY MORNING AND TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND TRY AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING (WEDNESDAY FEB. 27). WE GET A CALL FROM CORPORATE THAT THEY ARE OPENING A CASE AND THEY WOULD ALSO CALL US BACK ON WEDNESDAY. I GET A CALL FROM THE CASE MANAGER EXPLAINING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL JEEP RENEGADES AND THAT IF WE WANT A LONER, I'LL NEED TO RENT A CAR AND GET REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER. THE SAFETY FEATURES ARE DISABLED BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNPROFESSIONAL FOR A COMPANY OF THEIR CALIBER NOT ONLY FOR OUR FAMILY BUT ALSO FOR EVERYONE BUYING THESE VEHICLES. IF THEY WILL TRY AND GET OVER ON US FOR THIS - WHAT ELSE WILL THEY TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF? AS NOW WE NEED TO WAIT FOR AN UPDATE (WHICH I THINK IT IS ONLY A TACTIC FOR LOSING TIME) FOR NEXT QUARTER UNTIL THEY UPDATE THEIR SOFTWARE ON THE CAR.

ON SUNDAY 1/17/21, MY DAUGHTER'S HUSBAND LEASED A CAR FROM THE DEALER LISTED ABOVE. HE LEASED A 2021 FULLY LOADED JEEP RENEGADE AFTER ONLY TWO DAYS OF HAVING THE CAR, WE GOT THE WARNING ON THE DASH THAT SAID "STEREO SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE". THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED ALL SAFETY FEATURES TO TURN OFF AS WELL AS THE SPECIAL KENWOOD SOUND SYSTEM THAT WE PAID EXTRA FOR AS A PART OF THE LUXURY GROUP ADD ON. MY HUSBAND LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE HIMSELF AND IT STATED THAT IT HAD BEEN GOING ON IN THIS CAR SINCE THE 2018 MODEL. THE NEXT TIME HE GOT INTO THE CAR, IT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF DAILY. FINALLY AFTER A WEEK OF OWNING THE CAR WE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT BUT DUE TO THE WEEKEND, MONDAY MORNING WE CALL THE DEALER AND GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR TUESDAY MORNING. TUESDAY MORNING WE DRIVE IN AND LEAVE THE CAR THERE. THEY CALL BACK IN THE AFTERNOON AND TELL US THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM- LATER IN THE EVENING WE GET A CALL TO COME AND GET THE CAR, WE STATED WE DID NOT WANT TO PICK UP THE CAR BECAUSE IT HAPPENS EVERY MORNING AND TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT AND TRY AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING (WEDNESDAY). WE GET A CALL FROM CORPORATE THAT THEY ARE OPENING A CASE AND THEY WOULD ALSO CALL US BACK ON WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY WE DO NOT GET A CALL FROM THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. WE GET A CALL FROM THE CASE MANAGER EXPLAINING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL JEEP RENEGADES MY QUESTION IS WHY DO I NEED TO PAY FOR WHEN JEEP SHOULD NOT BE SELLING THESE VEHICLES! THE SAFETY FEATURES ARE DISABLED BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNPROFESSIONAL FOR A COMPANY OF THEIR CALIBER NOT ONLY FOR OUR FAMILY BUT ALSO FOR EVERYONE BUYING THESE VEHICLES. THERE IS CASE SIMILAR TO THIS SINCE 2017 AND NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT
