2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

I PARKED MY RENEGADE IN A STORE PARKING AREA, CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND RESTARTED MY CAR. THE CAR LET ME DRIVE 1/4 MILE THEN AT A STOP LIGHT I CHANGED GEARS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO A GEAR, INCLUDING REVERSE. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WORKS. THE CAR WILL MOVE IN LIMBO GEAR SLOWLY IF I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GEAR OR HOW FAST IT WILL GO. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING. I'M GLAD I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NOT WHILE SHIFTING THE GEARS.

KEY STICKING IN IGNITION SWITCH. 2015 WITH LESS THAN 6000 MILES ON IT. STUCK ONCE DURING TEST DRIVE WITH SALESMAN ONBOARD. STUCK WHEN ANOTHER SALESMAN MOVED IT FOR PICTURE TAKING EVENT. LOST TRACK OF HOW MANY HOURS AND TRIPS TO THE DEALER TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. TALKED TO OWNER,PREVIOUS OWNER,BUSINESS MANAGER,PARTS DEPT,HALF A DOZEN MECHANICS AND SHOP ASSOCIATES,AND EVEN GETTING BS FROM THE SHOP MANAGER. LAST TIME HE TOLD ME THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD NO SUCH ISSUE. I ASKED HIM IF HE WAS SUGGESTING I WAS A LIER! NO RESPONDS. AT THAT TIME

DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE MECHANISM BROKE WHEN INSERTING SEAT BELT WHILE STATIONARY. NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS FOR THIS VEHICLE, POOR MANUFACTURING. BUCKLE MECHANISM DOES NOT ALLOW SEATBELT TO BE INSERTED OR LOCKED. UPON INFORMING A JEEP DEALER, THEY WILL NOT REPLACE WITHOUT FULL CHARGE FOR BUCKLE AND LABOR. THEY STATED EVEN MANUFACTURING DEFECTS ARE NO LONGER COVERED AFTER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. UPON CONTACTING CHRYSLER TO REQUEST FOR THE SEAT BELT TO BE REPAIRED AS THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM AND REQUIRED TO UTILIZE THE VEHICLE ON ANY ROADS; ITS INTENDED PURPOSE, WAS DENIED BASED ON BUMPER TO BUMPER IS ONLY 36 MONTHS OR 36,000 MILES.

THE HEAT IN THE VEHICLE WAS COMING OUT COLD. CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING AND TEMPERATURE ROSE TO OVER 220. CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 25 MINUTES TO ALLOW IT TO COOL. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BROUGHT TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE COOLING FAN WAS FAILING. MECHANIC STATED WHEN THE CODE WAS PUT IN THE JEEP RENEGADE WAS THE FIRST VEHICLE TO POP UP. THIS SHOULD BE A KNOWN MECHANICAL RECALL. CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FAN SHOULD NOT BE FAILING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER THEN STARTED JERKING AND SHAKING THE CAR. I COULDN'T SPEED UP, I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING UP BUT NOTHING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF CAR AND START BACK UP, I STILL COULDN'T HIT 60MPH I THE FREEWAY SO I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND TOOK THE STREETS HOME. WHEN RUNNING THE CAR UNDER 30MPH THE CAR WAS FINE BUT ONCE I HIT THE HIGHER GEARS MY CAR WOULD SHAKE OR JUST DOWN SHIFT ON ITS ON.

THE SEATBELT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS NOT LOCKING INTO THE LATCH. IT IS NOT CLICKING INTO LATCH TO SADLY SECURE THE SEATBELT AROUND MY WAIST AND SHOULDER.

CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE. HAPPENED WHILE I WAS EXITING STARBUCKS INTO TRAFFIC

THE CAR WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, THINKING THAT IT IS OUT OF GAS, WHEN IN ACTUALITY THE CAR HAS BETWEEN 3-4 BARS OF GAS LEFT. NO "LOW FUEL" WARNING LIGHT OR NOTIFICATION WILL APPEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH, ONCE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN & THE CAR LITERALLY STARTED SPUTTERING AND CUT COMPLETELY OFF AT 65 MPH ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION WITH A SEMI. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN & I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT ALL, ESPECIALLY WITH THEM IN THE CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER 2018 & EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON GAS, I WOULD RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION & THE LIGHT WOULD APPEAR. HOWEVER AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT 3-4 BARS OF GAS WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION WHATSOEVER.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT MY JEEP INTO PARK. I CAN NOT SHUT IT OFF. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO MY JOB. I HAD TO LET IT RUN OUT OF GAS FOR IT TO SHUT OFF. BECAUSE OF THIS I LOST MY JOB. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE MY PAYMENT. PLEASE HELP.

1.WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A VERY SLOW CRAWL OR STOP, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO SOUNDS OR ANY INDICATION THAT ITS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. 2.WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A VERY SLOW CRAWL OR STOP, THE VEHICLE LAGS AND JOLTS FORWARD. FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HAS HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO SOUNDS OR ANY INDICATION THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SPORADICALLY.
