AIR BAGS, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AIRBAG SERVICE IS ON AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE ENGINE IS USING UP A LOT OF OIL IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. 2000 MILES AFTER MY OIL CHANGE I DISCOVERED THAT MY ENGINE HAS NO OIL LEFT IN IT AND MY GAS IS BEING DEPLETED AT A VERY FAST RATE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE PUSH TO START BUTTON WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ADDITIONALLY, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SUGGESTED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER BE SHIFTED TO THE PARK POSITION BEFORE SHIFTING INTO A DRIVE GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COUGHLIN MARYSVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 15777 WATKINS RD, MARYSVILLE, OH 43040, (937) 246-5386) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO THE TYPE OF FUEL AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TWO QUARTS LOW ON ENGINE OIL. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL SUCTION DOOR WAS MISALIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IN MY VEHICLE TO OUR DEALERSHIP TWICE WITHIN 2 MONTHS ON THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR HAS BEEN SPUTTERING AT IDLE AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING IN BETWEEN 25-30MPH THE TRANSMISSION GETS A HARD KICK, IT ALMOST FEELS AS IF YOU ARE GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, IGNITION COIL, SPARK PLUG WIRES, AND SPARK PLUGS. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 32,000 MILES AND IS MOSTLY DRIVEN IN TOWN, I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN TRAVELING AT 65MPH OR HIGHER.

TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE, FIRST THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY NEW TIRES.

HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO ON THE FREEWAY WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE MY TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. I HAD TO REPLACE MY TIRES BECAUSE THE REAR ONES WORE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD ON BOTH REAR TIRES COULD THIS BE BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM?

ENGINE
THIS 2.4L MULTI-AIR ENGINE CONSUMES EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. THERE IS NO "LOW PRESSURE" INDICATION UNLESS THE MOTOR IS A COUPLE QUARTS LOW AND HARD CORNERING OR STOPPING, AND IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES THE ENGINE STALLS OUT. THIS FIRST OCCURRED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A TSB PRINTOUT RECOMMENDING I KEEP A QUART OF OIL ON HAND. SINCE THEN EVERY OIL CHANGE I HAVE BEEN LOW AND I'VE ADDED ABOUT ONE QUART PER THOUSAND MILES LIKE THE TSB INDICATES BUT IT IS STARTING TO CONSUME IT WORSE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT OIL CHANGES WERE SUBSTANTIALLY FURTHER APART AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN TO DO SO, YET THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT I AM LOW OR OUT. I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO BLOW THE ENGINE ON THIS VEHICLE. *DT SEE ATTACHMENT TESTIMONY IS MORE THAN 2,000 CHARACTERS.*JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR EVER TO BUY THE CARD OF MY DREAM: A JEEP RENEGADE AND I FINALLY GOT IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AND NOT EVEN A PARKING TICKET AND WITH THE SAME INSURANCE FOR FOURTEEN YEAR (GEICO). ONE EVENING ON MY WAY TO THE SUPERMARKET AND WHILE MAKING A LEFT, I FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, I KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT SLIDE VERY SLOWLY, AND BOOM! I WAS HIT ON THE BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AN OLD PICK TRUCK. (A LEFT IN AZ, YOU ARE NEGLIGENT). WHAT A NIGHTMARE! THE POLICE TAKING THE REPORT WAS SOMETHING THAT I COULD NOT EXPLAIN, HIM TALKING AND LAUGHING WITH THE YOUNG MEN THAT HIT ME AS IF HE KNEW THE RELATIVES THAT CAME TO AID. I CALLED MY INSURANCE FOR A TOW TRUCK AND THEY WERE UNABLE BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTERS WERE UPDATING. I JUST KNEW THAT I WAS NOT NEGLIGENT, AND I WAS RIGHT. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR JEEP RENEGADE 2017 FROM THE FCA STATING THAT A LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE MAY LEAD TO AN ENGINE STALL RESULTING IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, WHICH MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. REMEDY: ALL OF THE INVOLVE VEHICLES MUST HAVE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED. TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AT MORE CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PART FOR THE CAR IT WAS A HASSLE, A LADY AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD NO IDEA IF THEY HAD ANYTHING AND FINALLY TODAY, I CALL SEVERAL AGENCIES I HAD IDEA EXISTED (8/12/2019). DID I GET AN ATTORNEY? UNLESS THERE IS DEATH, DISMEMBERMENT, DIU AN THE SUCH THERE IS NO CASE. MY INTACT DRIVING RECORD IS DAMAGE (THAT IS ANOTHER STORY OF WHAT I WENT THROUGH), I HAVE FLOATING RIBS AND PAIN IN ALL PARTS OF MY BODY. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE. THE VERY LEAST I WANT IS VINDICATION FOR MY DRIVING RECORD. HOW?

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
GAS PEDAL/ACCELERATION WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE, IN A CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AFTER I FIRST START THE VEHICLE, PLACE IT IN REVERSE, AND COAST/ROLL BACKWARDS (OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, INTO THE ROAD, INTO TRAFFIC). SLAMMING MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL RESULTS IN NO ACCELERATION, SO I JUST ROLL SLOWLY INTO THE ROAD. VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY AFTER I THEN SHIFT TO DRIVE. NOT BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE IN REVERSE WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK EVERY MORNING IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I TOOK THIS TO MY DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY THEN TESTED THIS ISSUE ON 2016 RENEGADE, 2017 RENEGADE, AND 2018 RENEGADE. THE 2016 AND 2017 RENEGADES HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THE 2018 RENEGADE REPORTEDLY DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY DEALERSHIP SPOKE WITH A JEEP ENGINEER THAT HAS INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE BEFORE, AND TRIED REPLACING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AS A SOLUTION. THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, SO THE ENGINEER CLAIMS THAT IT'S "WORKING AS DESIGNED." CLEARLY IT'S DESIGNED UNSAFELY. I HAVE INCLUDED MY DEALERSHIP'S NOTES INDICATING THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND MY (AND OTHER) RENEGADES. AND THAT THEY ENDED UP DIAGNOSING THIS AS "ISSUE IS NORMAL NO PROBLEM FOUND."

TAKATA RECALL MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE SEEMS TO DO THIS JERK / STALLING THING WHILE DRIVING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL STARTS TO GET LOW. WHILE RUNNING MY CAR HAS THIS LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I REMEMBER SEEING SMOKE COME FROM THE ENGINE AND I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR IF THAT.

PARKING BRAKE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UNDERWOOD JEEP CHRYSLER (2626 CLEVELAND RD, WOOSTER, OH) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD SUDDENLY ACTIVATE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP ABRUPTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HAASZ CHRYSLER (315 S. MILL ST, DALTON, OH) AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE REPAIR SPECIFICS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.
