THE PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG SENSOR WHEN A PERSON IS SEATED, IT WILL ACTIVATE WHEN A LUNCH BAG IS PLACED ON IT. THE SEAT BELT ALARM ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL SPEEDS HAVE BEEN ALERTING THAT THE VEHICLE IS OVERHEATING AND SLOWS DOWN ATTEMPTING TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF CAUSING THE DANGER OF A CRASH TO POSSIBLY HAPPEN. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE ANY OF THE ISSUES DESCRIBED, AND HAS STATED THAT THE PASSENGER MUST GAIN WEIGHT TO ACTIVATE THE SENSOR.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING INADVERTENTLY AND RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, AS DOES BACK UP CAMERA AND CAMERA GUIDE LINES. ADDITIONALLY, 911 AND UCONNECT RANDOMLY ARE SHOWING, INDICATING A MALFUNCTION. SEVEN TRIPS TO DEALER HAVE NOT CORRECTED, INCLUDING DEALER CONTACTS WITH MANUFACTURER (WORK ORDERS ON FILE). SHUTTING OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTING SOMETIMES CORRECTS THE VEHICLE'S ISSUES. FIRST STOP WITH DEALER TO CORRECT-11/15/2015 (VEHICLE PURCHASED IN OCTOBER). MOST RECENT STOP WITH DEALER 4/8/2015

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING HAS BEEN ACTIVATING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND WHILE ENTERING/EXITING HIGHWAY RAMPS, SPECIFICALLY WHERE OVERPASSES ARE PRESENT. ALSO, THE FCW LIGHT WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY AT START UP OF THE VEHICLE FORCING ME TO GO TO SETTINGS AND TURNING BACK ON. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THE FCW WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE FCW WOULD NOT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP DURING DEALER PERFORMED OBSTACLE TEST. SO FAR ALL ATTEMPS TO REPAIR BY THE DEALER HAVE FAILED.

MY NEW RENEGADE STARTED HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING AND WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. YOU COULD TELL IT WAS STUCK IN GEARS TOO LONG BEFORE SHIFTING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THEY DID NOT NOTICE ANY ISSUES DURING THEIR TEST DRIVE. SECOND TIME THE TECH SAID HE FELT IT AND FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH A MODULE UPDATE. IT DID RIDE GREAT AFTER THAT-BUT LASTED FOR ONLY ONE DAY. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THEY DID NOTHING-SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE WHOLE TIME I AM THINKING MAYBE I AM IMAGING THE ISSUE,ONLY TO SPEAK TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER IN THE WAITING ROOM ABOUT HER ONGOING ISSUES IN HER 2012 CHEROKEE-SAME TRANSMISSION AS IN THE RENEGADE. NOW, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM AND COME BACK ON AND THE FRONT WIPERS COME ON WHEN YOU TURN THE BACK WIPERS ON. THE VEHICLE HAS 2070 MILES ON IT. AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS (CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT. THE SERVICE MAN SAID I COULD BRING IT BACK-WHICH I AM GOING TO TOMORROW. BUT IF THEY INSIST THEY DON'T FEEL IT I AM NOT SURE WHAT MY RECOURSE IS. DO I HAVE TO WAIT TILL I CRASH DUE TO A SYSTEM DEFECT>

2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING MY BRAND NEW RENEGADE, IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY & I HAD TO COAST OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. NOT ONLY DID MY JEEP LEAVE ME STRANDED, I COULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER AT 80 MILES AN HOUR. JUST BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN, MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS AND BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS WERE HITTING THE RED MARKS. IT WAS SERVICED, AND GIVEN 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. A WEEK LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. YOU CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE, INSTEAD IT DIES, HOWEVER THE RPM'S GO UP AS HIGH AS THEY CAN GO BUT MY CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS. NOW IT IS IN THE SHOP (FOR OVER A WEEK), SUPPOSEDLY GETTING A NEW FUEL PUMP, WHICH I DO NOT THINK IS THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC PROBLEMS AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT KEEPS HAPPENING. AFTER PUTTING ME IN DANGER TWICE, I FEEL CERTAIN AS SOON AS I GET MY NEW FUEL PUMP AND DRIVE HOME, THIS WILL BREAK DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP ONE MONTH, BRAND NEW.
