2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

I AM REPLACING MY COOLANT FAN FOR THE THIRD TIME! I AM REPLACING MY DAY RUNNING LIGHT FOR THE SEVENTH TIME. THE COOLANT FAN STOP RUNNING AGAIN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES .

MY AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT TOOK IT TO A COUPLE DIFFERENT GARAGES AND THEY SAID IT'S A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER MIRROR CALLED AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR. NOW IT WON'T REGISTER THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE SO IT WON'T LET MY AIR CONDITIONING RUN. THIS JEEP WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS HAPPENING IT'S ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I HAVE CHILDREN AND CAN'T EVEN USE AIR CONDITIONING IN A NEWER CAR.

THERE IS A TERRIBLE UNDER CARRIAGE NOISE AS IF ONE OF THE WELDS DIDN'T HOLD. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE PAN UNDER THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS NOT DAMAGED BY ANYTHING, IT JUST STARTED MAKING THIS NOISE.

MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS ON ITS OWN AND PUTS ME AT RISK FOR CRASHING. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN ON MORE THAN TWO OCCASIONS BEFORE MY 100,000 MILE WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED AND HAS BECOME WORSE.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER. AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT DROVE JUST FINE UNTIL WE NOTICED AN ODD BEHAVIOR THAT BEGAN TO GET FREQUENT AS MORE MILES ADDED ON. WE HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE SAME DEALER VERIFY ISSUES RELATED TO POWERTRAIN PERFORMANCE: ROUGHT & HARSH SHIFTING, SHUTTERING WHEN IN 3-4 OR 4-5 GEAR, SLOW OR HEAVY SLUGGISH ACCELERATION FROM STOP, HIGH ENGINE REVING UP TO 3,4 THOUSAND RPM WITH DELAYED SHIFTING TO NEXT GEAR WHEN TRAVELING UPHILL OR HIGH ALTITUDE EXPRESSWAY, SLAMMING INTO GEARS WHEN UP OR DOWN SHIFTING, JERKY & HARSH THUMP WHEN STOPPING FROM GEARS 1-2 & WHEN ACCELERATING FROM GEARS 1-2, 3-4-5, AND ROUGHT IDLE WHEN DRIVE IS ENGAGED. ALL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT DURING THE PAST 60 MONTHS WITH ONLY 'COMPUTER UPDATES' FOR TRANSMISSION OFFERED AS A SOLUTION AND NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE OFFERED TO PERMANTLY REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THESE ARE 'NORMAL CHARATERISTICS' OF MY CAR. WE STAND FIRM THAT THE CAR DIDN'T PRESENT THESE ISSUES WHEN NEW OR WE WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE PURCHASE. RECENTLY, AS OF JUNE OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH A COMPLAINT OF A RUMBLE, WHINNING, AND VIBRATIONS COMING FROM THE DRIVE TRAIN WHEN DRIVING FROM 30-40 MILES AND RESTARTS AT APROX. 60 MPH.WE HAVE BEEN TOLD AGAIN THAT AN UPDATE TO THE POWERTRAIN WOULD BE PERFORMED AND SOME BEARRINGS WOULD BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER DON'T RETURN MY CALLS OR ANSWER THE 3 MESSAGES LEFT WITH HIS ASSOCIATES TO MY TAG NUMBER AND ISSUES. THE ONLY RESPONCE WE GET IS THAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR PARTS. I ASKED IF WE WOULD GET A WARRANTY EXTENSION? THE RESPONCE WAS 'NON THAT WE KNOW OF' BY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRES TODAY AND MY CAR IS IN THE SHOP UNREPAIRED WITH NO POWERTRAIN SOLUTION. CONCERNED THAT WARRANTY EXPIRE AND POWERTRAIN ISSUES CONTINUE WITH NO AVAIL.

THE 2015 JEEP RENEGADE HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE THE LURKING ISSUES. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT AN COMPLETE STOP AND YOU HIT THE GAS TO GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE LURKS AND HESITATES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE. THIS ISSUES HAD CREATED OTHER DRIVES SLAMMING ON THEIR BREAKS TO AVOID HITTING MY JEEP . THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED 03/19.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 3PM WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE AIR AND THE TEMPERATURE NEVER ADJUSTED. MY COOLANT INDICATOR TURNED FULLY RED. MY CAR STARTED SMOKING AND I PULLED OVER AND POPPED THE HOOD TO SEE MY ANTIFREEZE BOILING OUT OF THE RESERVOIR. I KEPT THE HOOD UP AND WAITED FOR IT TO COOL DOWN. THE NEXT MORNING, I DROVE TO MY SITTER'S WHERE I COMPLETED MY TRIP AND THE CAR STARTED SMOKING AGAIN. NOW IT'S AT THE SHOP.

CAR WILL NOT START. BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. UNRELIABLE. ELECTRICITY GOES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY, SUN ROOF WONT OPEN, LOCK BUTTON STICK, POWER SEAT NOT WORKING. *TR

WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS ALMOST CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM.

BEARINGS ON FRONT RIGHT AND LEFT TIRES WORE DOWN EXTREMELY QUICKLY WITH NORMAL DRIVING (NO OFF ROAD DRIVING). BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED ON 4TH YEAR OF OWNING VEHICLE. *TR
