ENGINE
JUST BOUGHT THIS USED - GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT THAT IT LITERALLY "LUNGES" FORWARD WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, TYPICALLY GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THERE IS A DEFINITE HESITATION BETWEEN THE TIME YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TIME IT TAKES TO MOVE FORWARD. WHEN TAKING A LEFT TURN INTO CROSS TRAFFIC I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE EXTRA TIME TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION.

WHEELS
I HAVE SOME 31K MILES IN THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN GIVEN ME TROUBLES WITH THE WHEELS SINCE THEY AREN'T INFLATED CORRECTLY. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, EVERYTHING IS GOOD AND NO NAIL NOR NOTHING IS IN THE WHEEL. BUT WHEN THEY VERIFY THE 'WORM' WHERE YOU INFLATE THE TIRE IT HESISS AND IT GETS BUBBLY SINCE THEY VERIFY THE WHEEL WITH WATER AND SOAP. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE VALVE (WORM) HAS WORN OUT OR SPLITTED - FROM I DON'T KNOW WHERE. PLUS NOW IT IS HAPPENING WITH A SECOND TIRE/WHEEL. WHEN I REPLACE THE VALVE, IF ITS NOT AN ORIGINAL MOPAR PART, THE SENSOR WON'T RECOGNIZE IT. NOW I SPOKE WITH THE TIRE TECHNICIAN AND IT INDICATES TO ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A WEAR OFF DUE TO MANUFACTURES SPECIFICATIONS.

IT WAS ALMOST HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY FROM A STOP AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. THIS WILL CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE KILLED.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, GOING 70 MPH, MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND SAID THERE WAS AN ERROR. I HAD A FAMILY MEMBER HELP ME LOAD IT UP AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FUEL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED AND SHOWED ME THAT I HAD GAS HOWEVER MY CAR HAD NO GAS. I HAD TO PURCHASE AN ENTIRE FUEL PUMP SINCE THE SENSOR IS INTEGRATED WITHIN THE PUMP. MY MILEAGE WAS 36,000 NOW MY RADIATOR FAN ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED AS IT IS GOING OUT. I AM AT 41,000 MILES NOW. I NOTICED A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM THE MOTOR AREA WHILE I WAS IDLING. I NOTICED

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN I FELT A SLIGHT WOBBLLING SENSATION THAT FELT LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY VEERED SHARPLY INTO THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK IN MY OWN LANE AND THE VEHICLE VEERED SHARPLY BACK TOWARD MY LANE AND STARTED TO GO OFF THE ROAD. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED VEERING SHARPLY BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BOTH LANES AND I HAD NO CONTROL WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR WHEN IT STARTED VEERING ALL OVER THE ROAD. AT ONE POINT THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING SIDEWAYS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO ROLL OVER. I WAS APPROACHING A SHARP CURVE AND THE VEHICLE WAS HEADED TOWARDS A POWER POLE AND 3 CONCRETE IRRIGATION BOXES. I KEPT TAPPING THE BRAKES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPPED, RUNNING OFF THE ROAD NEAR THE POWER POLE, BUT FORTUNATELY DID NOT MAKE IMPACT WITH THE POWER POLE OR THE CONCRETE IRRIGATION BOXES. WHEN I GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TRAILING ARM WAS HANGING DOWN AND WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE SUNNY, ABOUT 80 DEGREES AND THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED SINCE I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. I HAD JUST MET ANOTHER ONCOMING VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS PRIOR TO THIS; HAD THE TIMING BEEN DIFFERENTLY I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM HEAD-ON WITH NO WAY TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO AVOID THE COLLISION. VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN APPROX. 1 MILE TO MY HOUSE AT 5-10 MPH.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, (I HAD SWITCHED THE VEHICLE TO REVERSE AND HAD BEGUN MOVING), MY RENEGADE SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED BACKING UP. I TRIED SWITCHING BACK INTO PARK AND INTO REVERSE AGAIN BUT INSTEAD THE VEHICLE REPEATED THE ISSUE BY GOING INTO NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF REVERSE. I HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE PROPERLY.

HESITATING, ROUGH SHIFTING AND STALLING. WILL HESITATE SO BAD WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, AND GOING INTO 2ND GEAR (9 GEAR TRANS) THAT I'VE BEEN REAR ENDED, IN TRAFFIC, BECAUSE MY CAR HAS ESSENTIALLY STOPPED. ONLY 41,000 MILES. WORST IS WHEN FULLY STOPPED AND ARE ONLY SLIGHTLY ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 15 MPH. SUCH AS IN TRAFFIC, A PARKING LOT, OR TURNING. HAS STALLED IN MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING. WON'T RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINS HAS BEEN TO DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY'VE "FIXED IT" EACH TIME. HAVE FINALLY APPROVED A NEW TRANS
