2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS TURNED GREEN I PRESSED MY GAS PETAL BUT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN & WOULDN'T MOVE, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP & SO DID MY BRAKE, AIRBAG & PARK LIGHT. I WAS STUCK IN PARK FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AFTER WAITING MY CAR STARTED BACK TO NORMAL, BUT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES.

THE THROTTLE BODY STOP WORKING. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL AND DOES NOT START. IT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE STREET IT JUST TURN OFF

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER VISORS HAVE BOTH LOST THE ABILITY TO STAY FLUSH WITH THE CEILING OF THE VEHICLE. WITH THE MATERIAL OF THE CLOTH ON THE CEILING I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY TAPE TO SAFELY SECURE THE VISOR. THE VISUAL AREA THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE VEHICLE IS GREATLY IMPAIRED. I WAS QUOTE A $400-$500 REPAIR FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX ONE. WHEN IT ORIGINALLY HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE UPLOADED PHOTOS OF THE DRIVERS SIDE HOW IT SITS NOW, PUSHED FORWARD, AND IT HELD FLUSH WITH HOW IT SHOULD STAY. I WAS DRIVING WHEN T ADJUSTED THE VISOR AND IT LOST TENSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL WHINING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN) WHICH SHE LINKED TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

HORN DOES NOT WORK. THERE IS A BELL LIKE ON A TRICYCLE STRAPPED TO THE STEERING COLUMN. YOU CAN NOT HEAR IT FROM THE OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE.SOMEONE HAS STRAIGHT WIRED IT

COOLING CIRCUIT FAN STOPPED WORKING AT 51K MILES. ENGINE LIGHT SAID SERVICE ENGINE WITH DASH ENGINE LIGHT NOTIFICATION. CODE P0481 COMES UP

UPON CRANKING UP THE VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD PRESENTED A 'SERVICE TRANSMISSION' ERROR AND THE GEAR WHAT STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY DURING THIS TIME AND IN MY DRIVEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WHILE STOPPED IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET/ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH OUR VEHICLE AT LEAST 3 TIMES, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING AND TWICE AS WE WERE DRIVING. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT BEING HIT OR INJURED. ONE TIME VEHICLE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED, EVENTUALLY THE CAR WAS JUMPED SUCCESSFULLY, AND DRIVEN TO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF IN AN INTERSECTION. ABOUT 8 HOURS LATER WE JUMPED THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE AGAIN NOTHING CAN BE DETECTED. MANY OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS REPORT THE SAME THING HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS NO THING CAN BE FOUND. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS TO OUR CAR WE HAVE HAD AN INFANT IN THE CAR.. WE ARE GRATEFUL WE WERE NOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY LIKE SOME OTHER RENEGADE DRIVERS REPORT. WITHOUT FINDING OUT AND FIXING WHAT IS TRULY WRONG THESE INTERMITTENT SHUTOFFS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

VEHICLE VIN: [XXX], JEEP RENEGADE, 57000 MILES I PURCHASED A JEEP RENEGADE FOR MY WIFE AT [XXX] IN KILLEEN. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE DEALERSHIP RAN INTO A VIN ERROR THAT WE WERE TOLD WAS FIXED, BUT IT NEVER WAS BECAUSE WE REMAIN HAVING ISSUES WITH INSURANCE. I WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LOOKED UP NHTSA DOCUMENTATION THAT SAYS THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER UPON FINDING A DISCREPANCY AND APPARENTLY THIS WAS NEVER DONE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD US THE JEEP WAS IN A MINOR ACCIDENT AND WE FOUND OUT THE CRASH WAS WORSE THAN MINOR, THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ONLY ONE KEY FOB. WE WERE PROMISED ANOTHER KEY FOB MADE, BUT HAVE JUST GOT THE RUNAROUND SINCE PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LOCK SOMETIMES AND WE ARE WORRIED IT WILL NOT UNLOCK DURING AN EMERGENCY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY TELLS US THE KEY FOB IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY. THE JEEP ALSO HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES WE WERE NEVER TOLD ABOUT. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT RESPOND TO THESE ISSUES AND I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE TO HELP. I HAVE GONE UP THERE AND SPOKE TO THE MANAGER AT SALES AND AT PARTS/SERVICE. THEY TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK AFTER GETTING MY INFORMATION, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. DEALERSHIP LOCATION: [XXX] - 5200 E. CENTRAL TEXAS EXPY IN KILLEEN 76542, PH.

THE CAR STALLED AND TURNED OFF WHILE PULLING OUT ON A BUSY ROAD. THIS HAPPENED TWICE OVER THE PAST 12 MOS. THERE IS ALSO A NOTABLE 'KICK' IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHILE LOWERING SPEED.
