ENGINE
THE RADIATOR FAN HAS GONE OUT FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THE PART IS ON NATIONAL RECALL. THE FAN WAS FIRST REPLACED AT ABOUT 38,000 MILES AFTER FAILING. THE PART FAILED AGAIN AT ABOUT 67,000 MILES. I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THAT THEY COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A PART IN THE NEXT SHIPMENT IN ABOUT A WEEK AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN MORE WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR. I FOUND A UNIVERSAL FAN THAT WAS COMPATIBLE AND HAD IT INSTALLED IN EARLY SEPTEMBER. YESTERDAY, THE FAN FAILED AGAIN AND WIRING LEADING TO FAN HAS MELTED. PARTS ARE STILL ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE FIRST TIME THE PART FAILED (PREVIOUS REPORT FILED), I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE THIRD TIME, THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND IDLING AND HAD BEEN FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL NOT SPEED UP. I PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT KEEPS GOING AT THE SAME SPEED. WHEN I BRAKE IT PULLS, LIKE IF I WAS REPEATEDLY PRESSING AND LETTING GO OF THE BRAKES. THE WHEELS HAVE WORN OUT TWICE, HAVING HAD NEW CARS BEFORE AND DRIVING THE SAME ROADS AND DISTANCE I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE FIXED MY BREAKS ONCE WICH IS UNUSUAL FOR HOW NEW THIS CAR IS AND NOW MY BREAKS ARE MAKING SQUEAKING NOISE.

UPON STARTING THE IGNITION, THE ENGINE COOLING FAN (DIRECTLY BEHIND THE GRILL), BEGAN SHAKING AND WOBBLING LOUDLY. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT BEGAN SMOKING THERE AS WELL. THERE IS A BACK ORDER ON THE REPLACEMENT FAN AND IT IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT WE WERE TOLD. WE HAVE ABOUT 34,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE
MY JEEP RENEGADE OVERHEATED AND BROKE DOWN ON 8-1-17, MORE THAN 4 HOURS FROM OUR HOME. WE HAD TO GET THE JEEP BACK TO WHERE WE LIVED AND THE DEALER LET US KNOW IT WAS THE COOLANT FAN. THEY LET US KNOW IT WAS ON A MAJOR BACK ORDER AND THERE WAS NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR THIS TO BE RECTIFIED. WE ARE NOW IN SEPTEMBER AND STILL NO PARTS TO FIX MY JEEP THAT I AM PAYING A PAYMENT FOR AND IS UNDER WARRANTY. JEEPS SHOULD RECALL THIS PART AND HONOR THEIR WARRANTIES AND MAKE GOOD ON THESE CAR NOTES.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW MAY '15. BEGAN JERKING/LAGGING IN THREE LOWEST GEARS. IS AUTOMATIC 9 SPEED. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR "UPDATES," BUT PROBLEM PERSISTED. AT APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. AT APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES TRANSMISSION AGAIN BEGAN JERKING/LAGGING IN THE THREE LOWEST GEARS. CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP FOR THE 7TH TIME FOR SAME ISSUE THAT THEY'RE UNABLE TO CORRECT. IT'S DANGEROUS WHEN YOU'RE PULLING OUT OF AN INTERSECTION AND THE TRANSMISSION LAGS. SOMETIMES IT DOES THIS WORSE WHEN IT'S COLD, AND OTHER TIMES IT'S WORSE WHEN THE ENGINE HAS WARMED UP. ALSO MY MPG HAVE DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES BEGAN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, SMOKE BEGAN TO COME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS CAME TO A PARKING LOT. THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN HAD MELTED AND WAS SMOKING. THE VEHICLE HAS 40,813 MILES ON IT, AND THIS IS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURE. THE DEALER HAS ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE MINE THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER A MONTH FOR THE SAME ISSUE.
