2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 33596MILES. RECENTLY HAD NOTICED SOME REALLY HARD JERKY SHIFTING, SO HARD IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HAD BUMP INTO THE REAR OF MY CAR. WHEN I START UP THE CAR COLD, SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE I CAN HEAR THIS HARSH GRINDING, WHINING NOISE. *TR

TIRE DOT MBKT JR1R DUNLOP SIZE 215/60R17. THESE TIRES ARE IN MY NEW JEEP RENEGADE THAT I BOUGHT FROM THE DEALER VIN [XXX]. ONE OF THE TIRES EXPLOITED AT 5K MILES AND NOW THE TIRES HAVE ONLY 18000 MILES AND ARE IN BAD SHAPE WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT WIRES ARE SHOWING. I CALLED THE DEALER BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE NOR THE BRAND OWNERS. SO MY LAST OPTION IS TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO YOU TO INVESTIGATE AND AVOID POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE INSECURE TIRES LIKE THIS ONES THAT I AM REPORTING NOW. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IS SHUTTING OFF. IT HAS SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN THE CITY. ALMOST CAUSING CRASHES. I WOULD LITERALLY JUST BE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. I HAD TO GET TOWED TODAY

ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO NOT REENGAGE COMPLETELY (AS IF YOU WERE RIDING THE CLUTCH) CAUSING IT TO GET HOT AND HAVE A LACK OF POWER AND A NAUSEATING ODOR. THE PROBLEM BEGAN ABRUPTLY AND CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER/ACCELERATION THAT IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ON THE ROADWAY. *TR

6 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, OUR VEHICLE HAS STARTED SPUTTERING AND STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. OUR GAS WAS AROUND HALF FULL AND WE WERE NOT GOING UP OR DOWN ANY HILLS. THE MPH RANGE WAS 60-90MPH THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AND SOMETIMES IT TOOK OVER 45 MINUTES BEFORE WE COULD START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, EACH TIME TELLING US THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WE HAVE CONTACTED FCA GROUP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND SAID THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY RECALLS AND SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THEY HAVE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT WE JUST SEEK OUT LEGAL COUNSEL. THERE IS ONLY 19K MILES ON THE CAR AND IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW APRIL OF 2019. *TR

MY JEEP RENEGADE MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH A CRACKED OIL PUMP HOUSING/BALANCE SHAFT MODULE (BSM), WHICH HAS CAUSED THE OIL PUMP TO FAIL AND THE ENGINE TO STALL. I'M AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE THAT THE ENGINE STALL AND RISK GETTING INTO A CRASH. THIS ISSUE WAS A PROBLEM FOR JEEP IN 2017 OR 2018. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION TO THE DEALERSHIP IN DEC 2019 AND MAR 2020. I HAPPENED TWO DOES AGO ON MAY 23RD IT COMPLETELY STOP ON MY FIANCEE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. WE ARE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR LIVES.

ON A US ART 250 STOPPED BECAUSE OF OIL PRESSURE GOING STRAIGHT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. NOW IT STILL HAPPENS BUT IT IS COMING UP SERVICE ENGINE. THE DEALER AND JEEP WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TOOK TO ADVANCED AUTO THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND IS SAYING THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM SUDDEN HIGH AIRFLOW DETECTED AND RECEIVED ENGINE TORQUE REQUEST SIGNAL STUCK. WANTING DATE BELOW, BUT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I'M PUTTING MOST RECENT DATE OF INCIDENT WHICH WAS TODAY. WHICH WE TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AGAIN TODAY. *TR
