ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN DRIVING AND NEED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE JEEP LOSES POWER AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS.. IT IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHRYSLER FIAT BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO FIX IT AS IT IS IN JEEP FORUMS EVERYWHERE. I FEEL IT IS TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS DIED FOUR TIMES, THE KEY FOB(S) WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, THE CLOCK CONTINUOUSLY RESETS THE DATE/TIME, AND THE WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ONCE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE JEEP'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TWICE DUE TO DEAD BATTERIES. THIS WEEKEND, THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING AND IT DOES NOT TURN ON. THESE CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS BOTH THE USE AND VALUE OF MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, IT PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY; WINTER IS UPON US AND MY WIFE UTILIZES THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR TWO CHILDREN, WHOM ARE EACH UNDER THE AGE OF THREE YEARS OLD. THE THOUGHT OF THEM BEING STRANDED WITH NO HEATER DUE TO CONTINUOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES IS UNNERVING. I INITIALLY CONSIDERED THIS TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT; HOWEVER, I'VE ASKED TWO ADDITIONAL 2015 JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS IF THEY HAVE ENCOUNTERED ANY SIMILAR INSTANCES - BOTH HAVE RETURNED THEIR RENEGADE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THEM THE VEHICLE SIMPLY NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS IS NOT A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE!

SERVICE BRAKES
SEPT. 27, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH! I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON OLD US12, JUST LEAVING CHELSEA, GAINING SPEED. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME, NOTHING IN FRONT, BESIDE, OR TURNING NEAR ME. THERE WERE NO ANIMALS IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO LOCK UP. I WAS DRIVING A FRIEND HOME, ALL SHE NOTICED WAS THE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY DROVE MY FRIEND HOME AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, I TOLD THEM I WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURED OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. IT IS NOT SAFE!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
SALESMAN SAID THEY COULD MAKE IT LIKE THE ONE WE WANTED (WE PICKED BY COLOR) BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADD REMOTE START AND HEATED SEATS. WE PICKED IT UP NOTICING THEY BUTCHERED THE SEAT PUTTING IN HEATED SEATS. WE GET HOME WITH IT AND SHUT IT OFF MIND YOU THIS IS BRAND NEW, TO WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT CAUSE I HEAR A CAR RUNNING IN THE GARAGE ITS THE JEEP. THEY TELL ME THE REMOTE START DOES IT IF BATTERY IS LOW. SO I START PARKING IT OUTSIDE AS NOT TO DIE FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING TO FIND IT OUTSIDE RUNNING EVERY NIGHT. AT 1200 MILES THE REAR END STARTS GROWLING AND TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT AND IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ITS THE REMOTE STARTER THEY SAY SO THEY REMOVE IT. THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH MY MONEY BACK. DOES IT AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES AND TOOK IT IN 3 MORE TIMES FOR SHUTTING OFF ON HIGHWAY, REAR END GROWLING STILL AND TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING. GET IT BACK WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT WE DID UPDATES TO THE COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION. NEXT DAY RADIO STARTS CHANGING STATIONS ON ITS OWN AS I RECORD IT WITH MY PHONE, LIGHTS GOING OFF AND ON, WINDOWS NOT WORKING AND STILL NOT SHIFTING. THEY REPLACED REAR END PIG, RADIO, WIRING HARNESS AS THEY SAID THE GUY BENT A PIN INSTALLING REMOTE STARTER. THEN AT 17,000 MILES REAR END AND TRANSMISSION START DOING IT AGAIN AND THE SHORTING COMES BACK, NEW REAR PINION AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, NEW RADIO AGAIN AS THE OTHER ONE SHORTED OUT, TRANSMISSION STILL NOT SHIFTING. FILED FOR LEMON LAW CHRYSLER COMES BACK WITH THE CAR IS FINE ITS DUE TO THE AFTER MARKET EQUIPMENT I HAD INSTALLED. YOUR DEALER SHIP IS WHO HAD IT INSTALLED BRAND NEW VEHICLE. STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING OR TAKING OFF WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL. STUCK WITH THIS JUNK CAUSE THEY WON'T TAKE IT BACK. CALLED LAWYERS AND THEY SAID LOVE TO HELP BUT THAT WAS A ONE AND DONE DEAL. NEVER BUY CHRYSLER AGAIN.

ENGINE
PURCHASED VEHICLE IN JULY 2015, WITH 12 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. VEHICLE DIED WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 12 MPH ON MAY 2016. HAD FULL ELECTRICAL POWER, BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND IGNITION DID NOT EVEN MAKE "CLICK" NOISE. TOWED BY FCA 24H SERVICE TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP (AND NOT THE ONE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND REQUESTED IT GO TO). AFTER 3 DAYS WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED OIL, OIL CHANGED WAS PERFORMED, AND THAT IT WAS FINE. OIL STARTED "DISAPPEARING" - NO LEAK, WASN'T BURNING. OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD COME ON CONTINUOUSLY. CALLED FCA TO ALERT TO PROBLEM AND ASK WARRANTY QUESTIONS. WAS TOLD TO PUT OIL IN AND THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH 2015 RENEGADES; WARNED REP THAT CONTINUED DRIVING WITH NO OIL WOULD SEIZE ENGINE. CALLED ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM - ENGINE SEIZED, WITH ONLY 9288 MILES ON IT, ON AUG 29 2016 WHILE ENTERING NEIGHBORHOOD AT APPX.15 MPH - FIRST STARTED SHAKING AND RUMBLING LOUDLY, SPUTTERING AND DYING WHILE IN MOTION, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT START AFTER THAT. HAD TOWED TO ORIGINAL PURCHASE DEALERSHIP. WAS FIRST TOLD WAS A CYLINDER HEAD AND THAT WAS OIL IN THE SPARK PLUG SOCKETS AND ELSEWHERE (LUCKY IT DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE WHILE I WAS DRIVING). WEEK LATER WAS TOLD THAT A WHOLE NEW ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO GO IN, AS IT WAS SEIZED. ENGINE HAS FINALLY BEEN REPLACED AFTER 30 DAYS, AS DEALER HAD TO WAIT FOR FCA APPROVAL. NOW OUT OF POCKET ALMOST $400 FOR VEHICLE RENTALS AND TOWING, DESPITE FCA PROMISES TO PROVIDE. FILED FOR BUY BACK PROCESS AND GIVEN RUN AROUND. HAVE NOT HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A TOTAL OF 37 DAYS THIS YEAR - 35 WHICH ARE CONSECUTIVE. STILL WAITING FOR FCA RESPONSE; HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND REP WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS. STAY FAR AWAY FROM ANY FCA PRODUCED VEHICLE THAT HAS THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE OWNED THIS 2015 JEEP RENEGADE 4WD FOR JUST OVER ONE YEAR. DURING THIS TIME FRAME, THE BATTERY HAS DIED THREE TIMES; ONCE LEAVING MY FAMILY STRANDED 40+ MILES FROM OUR HOME. THE KEY FOBS CONTINUOUSLY FAIL TO WORK. MEANING, YOU ARE STUCK MANUALLY UNLOCKING EACH DOOR... AND WHEN THE KEY FOB IS NOT WORKING, NEITHER DOES THE ELECTRIC SWITCH ON EITHER OF THE FOUR DOOR PANELS. OBVIOUSLY SEVERAL YEARS BACK, MOST VEHICLES HAD MANUAL LOCKS AND WINDOWS... BUT THIS IS 2016 AND A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD WITH UNDER 10,000 MILES. FOR A BATTERY TO DIE THREE TIMES AND THE KEY FOBS TO CONTINUOUSLY FAIL, THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE JEEP RENEGADE. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN BEING STRANDED...AND FROM A SAFETY ASPECT, A KEY FOB SHOULD BE FAR MORE RELIABLE THAN WHAT JEEP OFFERS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RENEGADE WHEN IN MOTION GOING 40MPH AND ENCOUNTERS A HILL/INCREASE IN GRADE, WILL NOT SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR. THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN THE LOWER GEAR @ 40MPH AS THE ENGINE REV'S OVER 3,000RPM BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE AND WON'T KICK-IN THE HIGHER GEAR. HAVE TO NEARLY PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO FORCE THE VEHICLE TO RAMP THE RPM'S TO 4-5,000 TO GET IT TO SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. FEELS LIKE I'M GOING TO BLOW THE ENGINE WHEN I HAVE TO DO THIS BUT IT WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR OVER A MONTH. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE ARE SEVERAL SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE RENEGADE, SO TRY THAT AND SEE IF IT FIXES THE ISSUE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR 7 SOFTWARE UPDATES.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, CAR HESITATES TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THEN LURCHES/JERKS FORWARD, RUNNING ROUGH FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AS IT FINALLY STARTS MOVING FORWARD. DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC; THE VEHICLE IS IMMOBILE AS IT HESITATES/STALLS! HAS NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN YET BUT HESITATES LONG ENOUGH THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE WERE MORE SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE 2015 RENEGADE. TOOK IN TODAY TO BE SERVICED; 7 FLASH SOFTWARE UPDATES WHICH INCLUDED A TRANSMISSION UPDATE. THE DEALER SAID TO SEE IF IT DRIVES BETTER AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATES. SCARY!

VEHICLE LOST-POWER/STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC FROM A PARKING LOT; THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHILE THE BRAKE WAS SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED; WHEN REMOVING THE FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE STALLED. TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, BUT SOON REALIZED VEHICLE WILL ONLY ALLOW STARTING OF ENGINE WHILE IN PARK. NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP THAT ONLINE ARTICLES INDICATED A RECALL SOON FOR THE ISSUE, BUT THEY INDICATED THERE WERE NO VEHICLE ERROR CODES, THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE ISSUE AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL, SO THEY DID NOTHING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TODAY,WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY ALMOST CAUSING A VERY SEVERE ACCIDENT WITH MY 8 WEEK OLD BABY IN THE CAR. WE CONTINUED TO TRY AND DRIVE SO WE WOULDN'T BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY BUT THE JEEP WENT 35 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH THIS CAR BUT THE FIRST AS SEVERE AS THIS. A FEW DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IT WOULD SHIFT HARD WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE, IT FELT AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, MY ONLY VEHICLE, AND I AM SCARED TO TAKE MY BABY ANYWHERE. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY INCIDENT ESPECIALLY WITH A NEWBORN. JEEP NOT ONLY PUT MY LIFE AT JEOPARDY BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY A BABY'S LIFE!
