ENGINE
I HAD THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON IT. THE THERMOSTAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOT EVEN 9 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, IT WAS CHECKED, AND NOW MY THERMOSTAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN DO NOT LOAD THEM IN THIS JEEP! WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP WILL STRUGGLE TO GET UP TO SPEED AND SOUNDED LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED AT A HIGH SPEED. I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP TO SEE IF SOMETHING FELL OFF. TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE ITS SLIPPING. NOT EVERY TIME BUT IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN IT HAS MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE AND I DO NOT GO OUT OF TOWN OR LONG TRIPS OVER 45 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. . EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND ASK WHATS GOING ON THEY SAY ITS HOW THE JEEP RENEGADE WAS MADE, ITS NORMAL FOR IT TO DO ALL THIS.

WHEN TURNING ON CAR ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN EACH ONE STARTED FLICKERING ONE BY ONE. THEN MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON. CAR WOULD START BUT LOCKED ITSELF AND COULDN'T SHIFT GEARS . I TRIED UNLOCKING IT AND SHIFTED TO REVERSE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD GET STUCK IN THAT GEAR SO HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK AND SHIFT TO DRIVE AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE. COULDN'T TURNED IT OFF GEAR SHIFT WOULD LOCK ITSELF. HAPPENED WHILE HEADING BACK HOME. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAW THE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION. THEY ENDED UP DOING SOMETHING ELSE THAT I DIDN'T SAY YES TO NOW THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR IT AND WHILE MY CAR WAS GETTING REPAIRED. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR, I GET IN CAR ACCIDENT IN THEIR LOANER CAR I HAD INSURANCE BUT ONLY LIABILITY. DEALERSHIP WON'T GIVE MY CAR BACK UNTIL I PAY IN CASH A DEDUCTIBLE OF 2,500 AND PLUS REPAIRS I DIDN'T AGREE TO.

STARTING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN HAS TROUBLE GETTING INTO GEAR. IT HAPPENS GETTING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. WHEN I SWITCH FROM THE BREAK PEDDLE TO THE GAS PEDDLE AND GENTLY PRESS ON IT, THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN HAS TROUBLE FINDING THE GEAR. THE HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ALSO. STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, I GENTLY PRESS THE GAS, ONLY TO FIND THAT MY CAR WILL NOT GO. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT TRIES TO SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR AND IT HAS TROUBLE GETTING THERE. IT HAS HAPPENED 60-70 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR, BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. I HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS THE FIRST YEAR I GOT THE CAR, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I FEEL LIKE IT'S A SAFETY RISK.

THE IGNITION WHEN TURNED OFF WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY. PUSHING IN THEN OUT DOES NOT RELEASE. PULLING ONLY DOES NOT RELEASE. CAR MUST BE TURNED ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND YOU WILL EVENTUALLY GET LUCKY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN TRYING TO START VEHICLE, KEY WILL OFTEN NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION DESPITE WHEEL NOT BEING LOCKED. AGAIN, MUST PUT IN PULL OUT REPEATEDLY AND TURN WHEEL, WHICH IS DIFFICULT WHEN CAR IS OFF, AND EVENTUALLY GET LUCKY.

I LIVE OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN HOUSTON, TX. I FEEL I PLAY A GAME OF CHICKEN EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO TURN OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN MY JEEP RENEGADE. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES, THE ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON. A HOST OF NEW ELECTRICAL MESSAGES MAY OR MANY NOT POP UP. I HAVE HAD LIGHTS STOP AND START WORKING. THE CAR CUT OFF WHEN MAKING A TURN AS THE CAR IS BURNING INSANE AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT IS NOT THE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE I HAD HOPED FOR. I UNDERSTAND SOME ISSUES HOWEVER THERE APPEARS TO BE A NEW ONE ALMOST WEEKLY. I HAVE HIRED A LAWYER TO INVESTIGATE MY CASE S THIS THE ABSOLUTE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE CAR JERKS LIKE SOMEONE IS SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF YOU WHEN GOING 15 MPH OR LESS. IT LOSES POWER AND HESITATES ON TAKEOFF. THE CAR SUFFERS FROM MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND I FEEL THIS IS A CASH COW FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO KEEP OWNERS SERVING THEIR VEHICLES ON A REGULAR BASIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MANY OWNERS GIVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND THE SAME ISSUES, HOWEVER NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO LISTEN OR HOLD THE MANUFACTURE ACCOUNTABLE.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES SO BADLY GOING INTO SECOND GEAR THAT I AM CONSTANTLY ALMOST REAR ENDED, AND BEING SCREAMED AT BY OTHER MOTORISTS, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. IF YOU'RE NOT AT A COMPLETE STOP, IT'S NOT AS BADR. BUT FORGET IT IF YOU HAVE TO STOP FOR OVER 3 SECONDS. TRAFFIC AND PARKING LOT SEEMS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE WORSE (IF YOU'RE KEEPING IT AT 15 MPH OR UNDER IT SEEMS. FIRST THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY, THEN 2 TRANS MOUNTS, ALL AT A COST TO ME, BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANS. TRANSMISSION WAS SUPPOSEDLY "REPLACED" UNDER WARRANTY, BUT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. ALSO, NOW HAVING ENGINE REPLACED, BECAUSE IT BURNS 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THIS CAR.

A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT IT DID IT AGAIN WILL I WAS DRIVING THIS TIME THE LITTLE LIGHT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN POPPED ON AND CAUGHT MY ATTENTION,SO I CHANGED ALL THE BULBS AND STILL NOTHING SO I CHECK FUSE IT'S GOOD. TAKE TO SHOP AND FIND OUT THE CONNECTOR SHORTED OUT AND THE WIRES WERE CORRODED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HAD I NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION AND HAD MY HUSBAND DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE IT WASN'T WORKING I MAY HAVE NEVER FOUND THIS PROBLEM.

MY ETC LIGHT CAME ON TODAY AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AS WELL AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, BOTH LIGHTS RETURNED. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I FINALLY RECEIVED MY RECALLS FOR MY FAN TO BE REPLACED THE DAY AFTER I FIXED IT. IS THIS ANOTHER RECALL THAT I WASN'T MADE AWARE OF?
