2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WOULD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACK WHEN MAKING MINIMAL CONTACT WITH MINOR OBJECTS IN THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REPLACED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, THE INSURANCE COMPANY SENT AN AUTO GLASS REPAIRMAN TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, YET THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CAN VARY FROM A SHORT BURST OF SPEED AND A SPUDUR TO A LONG TERM ACCELERATION THAT ONLY STOPS WHEN APPLYING THE BREAK. EVEN WHEN STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WILL RAISE RPMS CONSIDERABLY WANTING TO LURCH FORWARD IF NOT IN PARK. THIS ISSUE BEGAN TO BE NOTICEABLE AROUND THE 25,000 MILE MARK IN MY CASE.

COOLING FAN IS MALFUNCTIONING AS MANY OTHERS APPARANTLY HAVE. THE ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT IF AT REST OR MAKING FREQUENT STOPS (CITY DRIVING).

9 SPEED AUTONAMIC TRANSMISSION - CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WITH NO WARNING - CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND EVEN DEATH - I DRIVE EVERYDAY IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS WHERE SPEED LIIT IS 60 MPH TO 75MPH

JUST BOUGHT THIS USED - GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT THAT IT LITERALLY "LUNGES" FORWARD WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, TYPICALLY GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THERE IS A DEFINITE HESITATION BETWEEN THE TIME YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TIME IT TAKES TO MOVE FORWARD. WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN INTO CROSS TRAFFIC I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE EXTRA TIME TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION.

MY GARAGE HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT JERKS BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I APPLY THE BRAKES. ALSO WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO SECOND GEAR, I FEEL A SLIGHT HESITATION AND A HEAR A CLUNKING SOUND.

I HAVE SOME 31K MILES IN THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN GIVEN ME TROUBLES WITH THE WHEELS SINCE THEY AREN'T INFLATED CORRECTLY. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, EVERYTHING IS GOOD AND NO NAIL NOR NOTHING IS IN THE WHEEL. BUT WHEN THEY VERIFY THE 'WORM' WHERE YOU INFLATE THE TIRE IT HESISS AND IT GETS BUBBLY SINCE THEY VERIFY THE WHEEL WITH WATER AND SOAP. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE VALVE (WORM) HAS WORN OUT OR SPLITTED - FROM I DON'T KNOW WHERE. PLUS NOW IT IS HAPPENING WITH A SECOND TIRE/WHEEL. WHEN I REPLACE THE VALVE, IF ITS NOT AN ORIGINAL MOPAR PART, THE SENSOR WON'T RECOGNIZE IT. NOW I SPOKE WITH THE TIRE TECHNICIAN AND IT INDICATES TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A WEAR OFF DUE TO MANUFACTURES SPECIFICATIONS.

I WAS MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IT TOOK ABOUT 5SEC FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. IT WAS ALMOST HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY FROM A STOP AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. THIS WILL CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE KILLED.

WAS DRIVING TO NEWNAN, GA ON HIGHWAY WHEN CAR JUMPED INTO NEUTRAL CAUSING CAR TO SLOW ALMOST ENDING IN A REAR-END COLLUSION. I AM A CANCER PATIENT AND DRIVE FROM BROOKLET, GA TO NEWNAN GA FOR TREATMENT. ALSO WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS RECALL DUE TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY.
