ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT TIMES, MY RADIO HAS TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN AND WHEN I'M ON THE PHONE IT WILL DISCONNECT FROM THE BLUETOOTH TO MY PHONE MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE CALL. ANOTHER ISSUE I'M HAVING IS WHEN I AM DRIVING, IT HAS FALLEN DEAD ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WON'T RESTART. IT'S HAPPENED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING. I'VE TRIED TURNING OFF MY LIGHTS, RADIO, A/C TO RESTART WITH NO LUCK. EACH TIME I'VE HAD TO GET TOWED HOME. I HAVE A STANDARD TRANSMISSION. EACH TIME IT'S HAPPENED, I'VE HAD FRESH OIL, GAS AND A GOOD BATTERY. LASTLY, SOMETIMES I'LL START SMELLING SOMETHING LIKE A BURNING SMELL AS IF SOMETHING IS HOT OR OVERHEATING, BUT I NEVER GET A MESSAGE ON MY DASH. IVE ALSO TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND I GOT IT NOV 2017.

SEAT BELTS
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED MY CAR IT WAS IMMPOSSIBLE TO UNLATCH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT. I WAS TRAPPED IN MY OWN VEHICLE. THE SITUATION FORCED ME TO SLIDE OUT BENEATH THE SEATBELT, ALMOST SLIPPED TO THE GARAGE FLOOR. I FEARED THAT IF IN ANY TYPE OF ENERGENCY LIKE A FIRE OR MUDSLIDES, ETC., I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED BY THE SEATBELT.

SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL 2018 WITH 15,000, ABOUT A MONTH AFTER DRIVING IT STARTED MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN I BRAKED, WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY A ROCK. IT DIDN'T STOP, SO I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE, THEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM TO GET A TIRE KEY AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES FOR FREE ONLY IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I BRAKE IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL IS CRUSHING TOGETHER, IT IS THE WORST SOUND AND IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE,SO I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN, AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THIS LAST TIME I MADE A SERVICE TECH GET IN THE CAR WITH ME AND HE AGREED THAT WAS NOT RIGHT AND THEN THE NEXT DAY HE CALLS ME AND SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG EVERYTHING LOOKS PERFECT. THEY THEN TELL ME THEY TEST DROVE THE OTHER RENEGADES IN THE LOT AND THEY ALL MAKE THE SAME SOUND WHEN YOU BRAKE, CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

MY CAR DELAYS TO SHIFT. YOU CAN FEEL THIS GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE OR SIMPLY TRYING TO PICK UP SPEED ON ROADS WITH HIGH SPEED LIMITS. OR FROM PRESSING BRAKE TO PRESSING GAS. (NOT STEPPING ON GAS HARD) IT HAS JOLTED MANY TIMES MAKING IT FEEL AS THOUGH SOMEONE HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE. BUT WILL USE THE DATE WHEN MY CAR TURNED OFF BY ITSELF. MY CAR TURNED COMPLETELY OFF BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING.
