2017 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

HOOD OPENS WITHOUT ME OPENING IT. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE PARKWAY BUT IT HAS THE SAFETY SO IT DOESN'T SWING UP. THE SHIFTING SHIFTED SO HARD IT MADE A CLUCKEN NOISE I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THAT HAPPENED TWICE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 20,000 MILES AND THE TRANS SOUNDS LIKE IT'S STARTING TO GO. I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES.

RANDOM LIGHTS COME ON SAYING HEADLIGHT/TAIL LIGHTS/TURN SIGNALS ARE OUT, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT. HAS BEEN TO LOCAL BODY SHOP X 3 AND JEEP DEALER WHERE PURCHASED X 2 AND HAD 2 BULBS REPLACED BUT PROBLEM KEEPS RECURRING. HAS OCCURRED UPON STARTING THE CAR OR WHILE DRIVING. BEGAN AFTER A BODY REPAIR FROM A MINOR FENDER BENDER ACCIDENT

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE JERKS AND LUNGES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. AS I AM DRIVING I WILL HEAR A LOUD CLUNK NOISE, WHICH THEN RESULTS IN MY ENGINE STALLING OUT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE NOTICED IT HAPPENS WHEN I MUST ACCELERATE QUICKLY OR WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL. ON THE PANEL SOON AFTER THE CLUNK A MESSAGE APPEARS STATING THAT THE CAR MUST BE SHIFTED TO PARK IN ORDER TO DRIVE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AS I PURCHASED IT TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY SON. IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NORMAL FOR 2.4L TRANSMISSIONS TO DO THIS, MAIN CAUSE IS LOW OIL. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT STILL HAPPENS AFTER A FRESH OIL CHANGE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT. NO HARSH DRIVING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS ISSUE PUTS EVERY DRIVER ON THE ROAD AT THE SAME TIME AT RISK. THESE ENGINES ARE LEMONS.

WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED. THE FUEL WAS OVER HALF FULL AND OIL WAS WITH NORMAL RANGES (CHECKED BEFORE TRIP). THIS IS THE 5 SUCH INSTANCE OF THIS HAPPENING BETWEEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHTROOM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST COUPLES TIMES DEALERSHIP TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE VISCOSITY OF THE OIL CAUSED IT TO BE LOWER THAN THE CAR READ IT TO BE. AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE. NOTHING ELSE. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR MANY TIMES THE CAR STALLS OUT. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A NUMBER TIMES AND THEY STILL YET CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. BEFORE THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS AS WELL AS ACCELERATING ON A HIGHWAY, A MESSAGE POPS UP AND SAYS VEHICLE NOT IN PARK AND THEN JERKS ME FORWARD AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. IT ALSO STALLS GOING UPHILL AS WELL THEN THE DASH MESSAGE APPEARS TO COME ON AND SAYS PARK DISABLED PRESS BREAK PEDAL TO START ENGINE. I AM VERY UPSET AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE CONCERN OF MY OWN SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. *DT UPDATED 10/18/18*JB *BF. UPDATED 11/01/18*JB

MY JEEP HAS ALREADY WENT TO THE SHOP FOR A WEEK BECAUSE IT STALLED 8 TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC WHILE MY FAMILY WAS COMING HOME FROM VACATION. OUR SAFTY IS EXTREMELY JEOPARDIZED BY THIS. THE JEEPS ARE LEMONS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED BEFORE IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED. IT HAS STARTED IT AGAIN NOW! *DT NO VIN AVAILABLE UPDATED 10/18/18*JB
