2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGINEERED PROPERLY. GEAR SHIFTS ARE VERY HARD AND SUDDEN, ESPECIALLY IN 1-3 GEARS. ACCELERATION IS DELAYED.

I'VE HAD SHIFTING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 1 YEAR NOW. VEHICLE SHIFTS ROUGH AND SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY AND RANDOMLY EVERYDAY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 5 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION AND STATEMENTS STATING THEY "CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS" WITH MY TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE SURGES WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND ADHERES MY VEHICLE FROM BRAKING ADEQUATELY TO THE POINT WHERE I'M NERVOUS IT WILL PUSH ME INTO A STOPPING CAR IN FROM OF ME.

WHEN DRIVING AND NEED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE JEEP LOSES POWER AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS.. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHRYSLER FIAT BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT AS IT IS IN JEEP FORUMS EVERYWHERE. I FEEL IT IS TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AND BREAKS LOCK WHILE DRIVING. 4WD LOCK TURNS ON WITHOUT ENGAGEMENT AND CAR HAS TO BE RESTARTED.

APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS DIED FOUR TIMES, THE KEY FOB(S) WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, THE CLOCK CONTINUOUSLY RESETS THE DATE/TIME, AND THE WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ONCE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE JEEP'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TWICE DUE TO DEAD BATTERIES. THIS WEEKEND, THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING AND IT DOES NOT TURN ON. THESE CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS BOTH THE USE AND VALUE OF MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, IT PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY; WINTER IS UPON US AND MY WIFE UTILIZES THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR TWO CHILDREN, WHOM ARE EACH UNDER THE AGE OF THREE YEARS OLD. THE THOUGHT OF THEM BEING STRANDED WITH NO HEATER DUE TO CONTINUOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES IS UNNERVING. I INITIALLY CONSIDERED THIS TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT; HOWEVER, I'VE ASKED TWO ADDITIONAL 2015 JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS IF THEY HAVE ENCOUNTERED ANY SIMILAR INSTANCES - BOTH HAVE RETURNED THEIR RENEGADE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THEM THE VEHICLE SIMPLY NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS IS NOT A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE!
