ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2015 JEEP RENEGADE LIMITED 4X4 HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING IT USED FROM DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY 2019. IT STALLS WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE TO PUT IN PARK, PUSH THE START BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, AND THEN PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN WITH FOOT ON BREAK TO START IT AGAIN. THANKFULLY THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY (10-15 MPH) IN A LINE OF CARS TOWARDS A STOP SIGN HOWEVER THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE!

ENGINE
THE ENGINE OVER HEATS AT HIGH SPEED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME SAY 70 TO 80 MPH OR GOING UP GRADES AT SPEED OR PULLING A SMALL TRAILER. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS TO SAY THE LEAST ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A NORMAL COMPLAINT ON THIS MODEL JEEP! THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW!!!! NO PHOTOS ARE NECESSARY! THIS DATE IS JUST THE LAST TIME IT HAS STALLED BUT I WAS WITH MY WIFE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH CONCERNED ME! FOR HER SAFETY!!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOESN'T STAY UP. THIS ISSUE FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I DEALT WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE FINALLY BUYING A NEW ONE. HAVING REPLACED IT ONCE ALREADY, I KNEW THIS LIKELY WASNT GOING TO BE A RECALL ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT IN JEEP FORUMS EVERY YEAR. NOW, 4 MONTHS AFTER REPLACING IT, IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. THERE ARE MULTIPLE THINGS I DONT LIKE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE VISOR IS CONSTANTLY FALLING DOWN IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

MY VEHICLE JERKS FORWARD WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALSO HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING 30 M.P.H. OR LESS AND TRY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR WILL JERK FORWARD AND BACK, THEN OPERATE NORMAL. MY REPORTED THIS ISSUE WITH MY DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SENT ME OFF. I'VE GONE TO THEM TWICE, AND SIMPLY GAVE UP, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2015. IT'S VERY ANNOYING, BUT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, ALTHOUGH, MANY CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. SAME MODEL YEAR (2015), WE'RE ALL NOT CRAZY, THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 RENEGADE'S TRANSMISSION.

ENGINE
IT STARTED AS A WOBBLE TYPE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT A COUPLE DAYS PRIOR. SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATES AND I NOTICE A CHANGE IN MY AC. ON MY WAY TO DETROIT MY TEMP GAUGE REACHES MAX, THUS ILLUMINATING A RED TEMP WARNING. I QUICKLY FOUND A PAY-TO-PARK LOT NEAR MY DESTINATION. WHILE ALLOWING TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO COOL DOWN, I GOOGLED MY ENGINE LIGHT AND OVERHEATING ISSUE. RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY DIAGNOSE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE INVOLVING A WOBBLY COOLING FAN AND A BLOWN 50A FUSE. FORTUNATELY THE NIGHT COOLED AND I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME WITHOUT AC NOR THE AID OF AN OPERATING COOLING FAN. MY STORIES SIMILAR TO COUNTLESS OTHERS. I'VE SEEN ONE VIDEO CLAIMING A RECALL FIX POSTED LAST MONTH. IT APPEARS A SHIELD HAS BEEN ADDED...I BELIEVE THAT'LL DEFINITELY FIX THE POORLY ENGINEERED ISSUE INVOLVING THE PROXIMITY OF THE FAN TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE AT APPROX 23K MILES IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED SHIFTING HARD. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE KNOW TO DO THAT SO WE DIDN'T PURSUE THE ISSUE! HOWEVER IN JULY 2017 WHEN ON A TRIP TO MARYLAND WHILE CLIMBING MOUNTAINS AND COMING DOWN THEM THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 4TH GEAR. ON THE DOWN SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN WHEN IT WOULDN'T SHIFT WE WOULD HAVE TO PULL TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TRY TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AGAIN AT 70+ MPH. OUR TRANSMISSION ACTED UP MORE THAN 4 TIMES DOING THIS. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO IT AND THEY KEEP STATING THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE LIVE IN INDIANA AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT THE SAME HOWEVER THE HARD SHIFTING OCCURS HERE. WE ARE STILL UNDER ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AT THIS TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2015 JEEP RENEGADE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE OR ABLE TO BE DONE TO FIX THE ISSUES!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SPEED WILL SHIFT KIND OF LIKE FROM NEUTRAL TO FIRST AND SO FOR. WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL BUT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME AND ALMOST PRODUCES A CRASH. WHILE ON THE TURNPIKE I TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROMPTLY, IT FEELS AS IF IT GETS STUCK AND THEN IT GIVES A BIG KICK. WHILE AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN ON OTHER DAYS, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND GIVES A KICK AND PROCEEDS TO MOVE IN A SLOW MOTION THEN GIVE ANOTHER KICK AND CONTINUE TO MOVE. IT FEELS AS IF THE SHIFT SHIFTS ON THEIR OWN AND ACCELERATION DOES NOT RESPOND ON TIME. ANOTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT AND I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. IT WAS MY TURN TO GO AND AS I SLOWLY ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE WILL GIVE A KICK AND PROCEED TO MOVE SLOWLY. ON ANOTHER INSTANCE, I STOPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I PROCEEDED TO MOVE, THE CAR GAVE ANOTHER SLOW KICK AND EVENTUALLY DECIDED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW INTENSE I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR IT STILL TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO RESPOND AND AVCTUALLY STARTS ACCELERATING. IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEMS AND AM GENUINELY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR I FEEL ONE DAY IT MIGHT NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR ON THE ROAD. WHILE AM PARKED ND CHANGE THE SHIFT FROM PARKING TO DRIVE, THE CAR AGAIN GIVES A QUICK AND THEN DECIDES TO MOVE. IT'S A SCARY EXPERIENCE TO FEEL THAT THE CAR I DRIVE AND AM.PAYING FOR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME WHILE ON THE ROAD, AT A GREEN LIGHT, ON TURNPIKE WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF MY PARKING LOT.

VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CAN VARY FROM A SHORT BURST OF SPEED AND A SPUDUR TO A LONG TERM ACCELERATION THAT ONLY STOPS WHEN APPLYING THE BREAK. EVEN WHEN STATIONARY THE VEHICLE WILL RAISE RPMS CONSIDERABLY WANTING TO LURCH FORWARD IF NOT IN PARK. THIS ISSUE BEGAN TO BE NOTICEABLE AROUND THE 25,000 MILE MARK IN MY CASE.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WOULD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACK WHEN MAKING MINIMAL CONTACT WITH MINOR OBJECTS IN THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REPLACED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. EACH TIME, THE INSURANCE COMPANY SENT AN AUTO GLASS REPAIRMAN TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, YET THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THERE WAS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
