2016 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

2016 JEEP RENEGADE. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FROM VEHICLE REPAIRS. *LD *JS

I AM CONCERNED THAT KEY FOB TO OUR 2016 RENEGADE DOES NOT WORK WELL AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT STILL HAVE PROBLEMS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS. I WORRY WHEN THE KEY FOB TAKES A LONG TIME TO OPEN THE DOORS I HAVE TO HOVER KEY FOB OVER DOOR HANDLE TO SEE IF IT READS IT, THIS HAPPENS WHEN I PICK UP THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL, OR RUNNING TO THEIR GAME'S AND PRACTICES, AND IT HAPPENS ON RAINY DAYS TOO. I CAN'T GET IN MY CAR AND I WORRY FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY KIDS BECAUSE WE'RE STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WAITING TO SEE IF DOORS WILL UNLOCK. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT WE CANNOT GET INTO OUR CAR. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH KEY FOBS. I NEED THIS ISSUED RESOLVED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD (LIKE A MANUAL ON MY FIRST DAY OF DRIVING SCHOOL) UPSHIFT AND DOWNSHIFT IN LOWER GEARS. PROBLEM PERSISTS IN ANY WEATHER CONDITION AS I LIVE IN THE NORTH EAST. BRAKE ROTORS WEAR UNEVEN CAUSING PULSATION DUE TO STICKING CALIPERS

FOR THE LAST YEAR ON AND OFF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE( SERVICE AIR BAGS, PARKING BRAKE, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CABLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, POWER STEERING LIGHT), ETC. LAST WEEK WE WERE DRIVING WITH THE KIDS, WENT TO PARK, GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE, STARTED IT AND ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED GOING OFF. MY HUSBAND TURNED THE KEY TO OFF, PULLED IT OUT, AND THE CAR KEPT RUNNING. WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER ONLY TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE SEATBELT. WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. WE WERE DRIVING, ALL THE LIGHTS KEPT GOING OFF, INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WHICH TURNS OFF THE POWER STEERING SO WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION ONLY TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, PULLED THE KEY OUT AND THE CAR KEPT RUNNING. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND BROUGHT IT BACK IN TO BE SERVICED. THE CAR IS DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE!

RADIATOR FAN FAILED AT 53,000 MILES RESULTING IN THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AS PER MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS.

DRIVING DOWN A LONG WINDING HILL WHEN ACCELERATION AND BRAKES WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE OR DURING. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BURNED THROUGH 4 QUARTS OF OIL AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT BACK TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THERE IS NO WAY I'M GETTING BACK INTO A VEHICLE THAT HAS NO BRAKES DURING SAFE MODE AND HAS NO WARNING THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. JEEP NEEDS TO GET THESE OFF OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 45 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING MY VEHICLE TODAY AND IT DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN APPLYING THE GAS. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST BUT AS A RESULT, I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TODAY. I HAVE 40,800 MILES. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES IN THE PAST BUT THIS WAS A TIME THAT THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION LASTED AT LEAST 8 SECONDS. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT IS ALWAYS DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP EXCEPT ONCE WHEN I DECELERATING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE STARTED TO STALL UNTIL I REVVED THE ENGINE.
