2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND HAVE LESS THAN 5K MILES ON IT. TODAY I WAS MAKING A NORMAL RIGHT HAND TURN (NOT SHARP OR ANYTHING) AND AS I WAS TURNING THE JEEP LOST ALL POWER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO, AND HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. AFTER THE GEAR SHIFT WAS SWITCHED INTO THE DRIVE POSITION, THE VEHICLE REVERSED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED TO GO INTO DRIVE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

I HAVE HAD A "SERVICE IN 30 DAYS, I'M NOW ON 6 DAYS" AND I HAVE BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS TO HAVE THE SERVICE MESSAGE REMOVED FROM WHEN I START THE JEEP BUT THE MESSAGE NEVER GOES AWAY, I HAVE HAD THE SERVICE DONE TWICE NOW TO GET THE MESSAGE TO GO AWAY BUT IT NEVER DOES, THE DATE JUST GOES DOWN AND I HAVE NO WAY TO REMOVE THE MESSAGE, AND APPARENTLY DEALERS CAN'T EITHER, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I HIT DAY 1 OR BEYOND? WHEN WILL I KNOW MY VEHICLE NEEDS SERVICE NEXT IF THE LIGHT NEVER TURN OFF TO BEGIN WITH ON A NEW VEHICLE?

ON OCCASION WHEN MAKING EITHER A LEFT OR RIGHT HAND TURN, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES AND THE ENGINE LOSES POWER. ALL ACCELERATION TO THE VEHICLE STOPS AND WILL NOT RESUME UNTIL YOU RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL. THE ISSUE STARTED IN MARCH OF 2016 AND CONTINUES TILL THIS DATE, 7/27/16

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TURNED ON VOLUNTARILY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OFF.

TIRES INSTALLED ARE NOT SPECIFIC FOR ON/OFF ROAD DRIVING. ACCORDING TO TIRE MANUFACTURER, GOODYEAR SR-A 215/65/R17 ARE HIGHWAY TIRES AND NOT FOR OFF ROADING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COLD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,936.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, A LOUD SQUEALING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. IN ADDITION, IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

AT 1040 MILES WHILE GOING UP A 7% GRADE IN 100+ DEGREE TEMPERATURES. THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED AND IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER THEN BEGAN 'LUNGING'. DISPLAY SHOWED "PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK PRIOR TO SELECTING A GEAR". AFTER WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES RESTARTED VEHICLE BUT AS SOON AS IT NEEDED TO SHIFT IT WOULD DO THE SAME STALL OUT. THIS EXACT BEHAVIOR ALSO OCCURRED ON THE SAME SECTION (WITHIN 2 MI) OF HIGHWAY AT THE FOLLOWING ODOMETER READINGS: 4811, 5202, 28928, 29580 AND 29623. COMMON RPM'S ARE AROUND 3500 BUT VARIES SOMEWHAT EACH TIME AND USUALLY BETWEEN 50-65 MPH. THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN IN FULL AUTOMATIC MODE AND IS UNRESPONSIVE IF ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH TO MANUAL MODE ONCE IT STARTS. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ONLY USED THE FIRST TIME. I QUIT USING IT AFTER THAT IN CASE THERE WAS ANY RELATION TO THE SHIFT SELECTIONS. THE GAP IN THE MILEAGES INDICATE THE ALMOST ALMOST 3 MONTHS THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE AND THE TIME THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM- COLD MONTHS ONLY. MANY OF THE OCCURRENCES ARE WITH DAYS OF EACH OTHER AND OR AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCES EXTREMELY HARD LOW SPEED SHIFTS (FROM A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN). THE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY I DRIVE DAILY IS VERY BUSY AND A MAIN CORRIDOR FROM THE NEIGHBORING CITY TO MY RURAL TOWN. IT IS DANGEROUS TO SUDDENLY DROP "BACK" ON SPEED SO DRAMATICALLY.
