2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

CAR WOULD NOT GIVE GAS AND COMPLETELY STALLED OUT ON ME, AND CUT OFF!! IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I ALMOST GOT REAMED BY A LARGE DUMP TRUCK BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BACK WINDY ROAD!! ALSO, MY CAR IS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR FROM 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD! DEALERSHIP TELLS ME I WAS ALMOST OUT OF OIL???? HOW CAN THIS BE? I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES, AND FUNNY THING IS, THEY ALWAYS TELL ME I'M LOW!!?? I'M FIRST OWNER, PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2017! ONLY HAVE 36,000 MILES! NOW DEALERSHIP TELLING ME THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR RENEGADE? WHY WASNT I INFORMED BEFORE PURCHASING!!! THIS IS A MAJOR SADETY HAZARD! I WAS ALMOST SERIOUSLY INJURED, THE DUMP TRUCK SCREACHED TO A HALT BY A MATTER OF INCHES!!!!

VEHICLE HESITATES AND STRUGGLES TO SHIFT. IT HARD SHIFTS AND FEELS LIKE IT KICKS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM ABOUT 20 MPH TO 65 MPH WHICH IS FREEWAY SPEED ENGINE TAKES A LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE THEN IT JERKS AND SHIFTS REALLY HARD.

THE 2017 WONT TURN OFF AFTER YOU TURNED ON AND ALL THE PANEL LIGHT MALFUNCTION. THE CAR ONLY TURN OFF IF I UNPLUG THE BATTERY. ACCORDING WITH THE WARRANTY OF THE CAR PASSED STATE LAW AND IT CANT BE REPLACE WHICH I THINK IS CRAZY SINCE ANY MALFUNCTION CAN HAPPEN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO THE JEEP WONT TURN OFF . THE DEALER DOESNT KNOW HOT TO FIXED SINCE NO CODE IS GIVING. I AM AFRAID OF USING THE CAR FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND FAMILY, AND ALL I WANT IS A REPLACEMENT.

MY VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF OIL PRIOR TO MY OIL CHANGE. RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS, MY LOW OIL PRESSURE NOTICE WILL POP ON AND DISAPPEAR AND THEN STALL ON ME. WAS TOLD BY MY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS RELATED TO PRESSURE CONSUMPTION.

THE VEHICLE USED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL (APPROXIMATELY FIVE TO SEVEN QUARTS PER MONTH). THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ASTORG DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (1501 7TH ST, PARKERSBURG, WV, (304) 485-8585) WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET, WITH PARKED CARS ON EITHER SIDE (AT APPROXIMATELY 18 MILES PER HOUR) AND IN A NEARLY STRAIGHT LINE, ALL OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING SEVERE INJURY TO THE DRIVER WHICH REQUIRED MULTIPLE SURGERIES. BLACK BOX DATA SHOWS A ROLL OVER INCIDENT FROM ONE OF THE SENSORS. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ROLL OVER, NOR DID IT HIT A CURB, THE VEHICLE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE DEPLOYED AIRBAGS WHICH DEPLOYED SPONTANEOUSLY.
