2015 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

MY FRONT RIGHT WHEEL COMPLETELY SNAPPED & MY TIRE WAS PERPENDICULAR TO ITS NORMAL STATE. THEY HAD TO REPLACE A HOST OF PARTS INCLUDING THE FR AXLE, STRUT, STRUT MOUNT, MOST OF THE SUSPENSION. ROUGHLY 6MO AFTER THE REPAIRS MY JEEP STARTED HAVING A TROUBLING SOUND & FEELING WHILE DRIVING. UPON GOING OVER ANY KIND OF BUMP TURN REGARDLESS OF BREAKING SPEED, I COULD FEEL & HEAR A PART KNOCKING AROUND LIKE A JOINT WAS HITTING THE WALLS OF ITS BRACKET & IT AFFECTED EVERYTHING ABOUT HOW THE CAR HANDLED ANY CHANGE IN DRIVING CONDITIONS. I WENT TO THE TIRES PLUS I HAVE BEEN USING FOR A DECADE TO DIAGNOSE & THEY RECOMMENDED I GET THE STRUT MOUNT REPLACED BUT CAUTIONED THAT THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS A GUESS AS THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE APART THE SUSPENSION TO SEE IF THE MOUNT WAS INDEED THE CULPRIT. I RECOGNIZED THAT THAT PART WAS REPLACED AFTER THE INCIDENT & IMMEDIATELY SAID WAIT, LET ME CHECK W/MY INSURANCE. I RETURNED TO THE FACILITY THAT DID THE REPAIRS & WAS TOLD THAT MY STRUT WAS 'BRAND NEW' & 'PERFECTLY FINE' BUT THAT MY SHOCKS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I SOUGHT A 3RD OPINION - WHO DEDUCED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NEITHER PARTS BUT WAS ACTUALLY THAT MY ALL OF MY SUB MOUNT BOLTS WERE LOOSE & IT WAS CAUSING MY ENTIRE ENGINE TO MOVE AROUND... I WAS LIKE OK, AND WENT HOME, HOWEVER THE ISSUE SLOWLY RETURNED OVER THE COURSE OF 6-8 WEEKS & THEN 1 MO AFTER THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORIGINAL REPAIRS I HEARD A LOUD POP/CRACK. MY FRONT RIGHT STRUT COMPLETELY SNAPPED! I CANNOT SHAKE THE FEELING THAT ITS MORE. ALMOST 6 MO SINCE FINAL REPAIRS (NOV-DEC2020) I AM HEARING & FEELING WOBBLING/BANGING IN THE FR & THE SAME HANDLING ISSUES ON BUMPS AND TURNS. **EVENTS ABOVE SUMMARIZED FULL ACCOUNT OF COMPLAINT ATTACHED WITH IMAGES/DOCS**

SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP, IT WOULD SOMETIMES SHIFT REALLY HARD FROM 1ST GEAR & THAT WAS AT 47K MILES. NOW I AM AT 55K & IT IS DOING IT FROM 1ST, 2ND, & SOMETIMES 3RD. OF COURSE, JEEP HAS MADE IT SO THAT I CANNOT EVEN CHECK MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, MUCH LESS ADD ANY BECAUSE THEY MADE IT A CLOSED UNIT. I'M SHOCKED THAT WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ABOUT THE "JERKY" "HARD SHIFTING" "SLIPPING" THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN DONE ON THIS, CLEARLY, FLAWED TRANSMISSION SYSTEM.

MY CAR'S RADIATOR FAN STARTED RATTLING AND AFTER LOOKING FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE, I FOUND ENDLESS SOURCES OF OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR AS ME THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IF NOT DILIGENTLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND FIXED, THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR WILL EVENTUALLY GO OUT. THIS HAS CAUSED SMOKING AND FLAMES AND CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE. THE SOUND HAPPENS WHEN MY CAR IS IDLING AND STOPPED IN FIRST GEAR. TO AVOID THESE COSTLY AND DANGEROUS EFFECTS OF WHEN THE RADIATOR FAN MOTOR DOES FAIL, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CASE 2:19-CV-10417-NGE-EAS HAS BEEN FILED, BUT NO FURTHER UPDATES HAVE BEEN RELEASED.

SINCE I OWNED THIS JEEP I COMPLAINED AT SERVICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS STRAIN AND WHERE A CHANGE IN GEAR SHOULD NATURALLY HAPPEN, THE ENGINE WOULD WHINE AND WHINE AND THEN EVENTUALLY SHIFT GEARS. I WAS ALWAYS MET WITH SERVICE MEN WITH NO RESPONSE. SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE BURNED CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF OIL, AND I WOULD NEED TO MAKE ADDITIONAL SPECIAL APPT SAND BRING IT IN TO MAKE SURE I HAD OIL IN THE ENGINE?THE CONSOLE ABOVE MY HEAD WHERE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND THE SUNROOF SWITCH IS THERE ARE RED LIGHTS THAT LIGHT UP FROM TIME TO TIME INDICATING WHAT/ AND WHY ARE THEY LIT? ANOTHER QUESTION UNANSWERED BY THE JEEP SERVICE DEPT OF ROCKLAND CNTY NY.NOW THAT MY JEEP IS OVER 150,000 MILES THE ELECTRICAL IS SHOT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF FROM TIME TO TIME. THE 4WHEEL DRIVE SPORADICALLY WORKS, SAME WITH THE SUNROOF CONTROL AND THE DRIVER SEAT LUMBAR AND POSITION CONTROLS ON THE DRIVER SEAT. ONLY WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO

THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY 3 TIMES NOW. IT ALSO CONSUMES MORE OIL IN A MONTH THAN MOST CARS CONSUME IN 20 YEARS. IT IS AN UNSAFE CAR THAT IF NOT FIXED WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ASAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EMPIRE LAKEWOOD NISSAN (14707 W COLFAX AVE, LAKEWOOD, CO 80401, (303) 232-8881) WHERE THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO CHRISTOPHER'S DODGE RAM (16655 W COLFAX AVE, GOLDEN, CO 80401, (303) 238-7311) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BE DIAGNOSED 6 TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THERMOSTAT, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH, AND MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,976.*DT On 2/22 vehicle had faulty transmission. It was the 7th time vehicle had stalling issues.

MY JEEPS RUNS OUT OF GAS AT 1/4 TANK. NO LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. (I.E. WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH, IN CITY TRAFFIC)

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY 3 TIMES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY JERKY. THE DEALER DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND SAID IT IS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO CONSUME 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 3000-4000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT USES THIS MUCH OIL. THE OIL WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON INDICATING G THE OIL IS LOW.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT VERY HARD LIKE A BUCKING BRONCO FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE. IT IS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE AND THE PROBLEM IS THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I CAUSES JERKS WHEN SHIFTING AND WHEN STOPPING CAUSES A BIG JERK AT THE VERY END OF BRAKING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE.

WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND DOES NOT TURN ON AND SEND AN ELECTRIC POWER STERING ALERT THIS HAPPENS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AT A JEEP CERTIFIED DEALER IN FLORIDA AND I HAVE DRIVEN IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT HAS NO PROBLEMS
