2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

IGNITION KEY IS HARD TO REMOVE. VEHICLE STOPPED, TURNED OFF AND CAN NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION.

I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SHIFTING. PALMER DODGE SAID THAT ALL IT NEEDED WAS ADJUSTING, BUT THAT IS NOT WORKING.

I WAS DRIVING THE COOLANT TEMP TOO HIGH WENT INTO THE RED AND I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED.AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANICS AT JEEP.THE COOLING FAN BROKE. HAS TO BE REPLACED 40,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. AND A FUSE AMP IS BLOWN AS WELL.ON CARPROBLEMZOO.COM THERE ARE OVER 30 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE COOLING FAN BREAKING OR STOP WORKING. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/RENEGADE/COOLING-FAN-PROBLEMS.PHP THE COMPANY REFUSES TO REIMBURSE WHEN THE VEHICLES ARE LESS THAT 60,000 MILES OR LESS THAN 3 OR 4 YEARS OLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN FRACTURED INTERNALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT A BRIEF MOMENT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (FAYETTEVILLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 1223 HUNTSVILLE HWY, FAYETTEVILLE, TN 37334, (931) 227-4899) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUSE WAS BLOWN DUE TO THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN FRACTURING AND THE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL CAMPAIGN OR MANUFACTURER SERVICE CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT THE CONTACT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT AUTOMATIC LOCKS WHEEL STUD WRENCH UPDATED 10/2/18*JB

THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGHLY AND HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. THIS IS MAINLY WHEN COLD. IT IS SOMEWHAT BETTER WHEN WARM. THE SHIFTING AT TIMES MAKES THE CAR HESITATE AS IT ACCELERATES. CAN MAKE DRIVERS NERVOUS THAT THEY WILL STALL. DEALERSHIPS HAVE SOFTWARE UPDATES, BUT THE RESULTS ARE MARGINAL. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED THIS PAST MAY. I HAD THE UPDATE DONE. I HAVE ABOUT 24000 MILES.

FAN STOPPED WORKING CAUSING CAR TO OVERHEAT AND SMOKE WHILE IDLE. CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR. ALSO HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT BLOWING OUT. HAD THE LIGHT FIXED THREE TIMES IN A FEW MONTHS AND BLEW A FOURTH TIME. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY SINGLE TIME AND IT'S CURRENTLY OUT BC THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT SO IT'S A WASTE OF TIME.

IN MY DRIVEWAY. I LOVE BEHIND MY MOM AND WHEN I STOP TO TALK WITH WHILE SHE IS IN THE YARD AND LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON AND STOPS ME. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHTS OR JUST STUCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION EITHER JERKS REAL HARD OR MAKES THE CAR FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. COOLING FAN HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WHEN THE VEHICLE WASN'T 2 YRS OLD.

COOLING FAN MAKING LOUD NOISES AND VIBRATIONS, WHILE TAKING CAR INTO DRIVE FROM BEING STOPPED IT ACCELERATES WITHOUT HITTING GAS.

MY CAR STARTED RUNNING HOT WHILE ON THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO AUTO MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAS LOCKED UP. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 60,000 MILES, 3 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS PROBLEM IF I WERE ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. PLEASE RECALL VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT SEEMS VERY COMMON.

AT 63K RIGHT FRONT BRAKE PAD, SHOE & ROTOR COMPLETELY WORN, ROTOR DAMAGED, ALL BEYOND USE, AND REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. LEFT FRONT BRAKE PAD, AND SHOE ARE NOT WORN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE FROM THE OTHER WHEEL, NEED REPLACED.
