TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE DEPRESSED FIRMLY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM WEST PALM BEACH (6500 OKEECHOBEE BLVD, WEST PALM BEACH, FL 33411, (561) 257-5198) AND TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED RESPONDING TO THE RELEASING OF THE GAS PEDAL. *JS *TR *JS *JS *JS

SINCE PURCHASE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RANDOMLY GIVES ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND WILL NOT LET ME SHUT OFF VEHICLE WITHOUT UNHOOKING BATTERY AND HOOKING BACK UP. HAVE HAD IT IN SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SAME THING, NEITHER JEEP PLACE I HAVE TOOK IT TO CAN FIGURE IT OUT AND TELL ME MY ONLY OPTION IS TO HAVE TOWED IN NEXT TIME IT DOES IT AND LEAVING ON AND "PRAYING THEIR SERVICE DEPT IS OPEN WHEN IT HAPPENS" PER RICE JEEP DODGE ON ALCOA HWY, LENOIR CITY CHRYSLER DODGE WHERE PURCHASED TOLD ME TO GET LAWYER SO I REFUSE TO TAKE BACK THERE. RICE DODGE HAS BEEN MUCH MORE HELPFUL AND UNDERSTANDING AND NOT THREATENING ME. HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FRANK AT JEEP CORPORATE AND HAVE MULTIPLE OPEN CASES

MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE FAN ASSEMBLY CONTINUES TO LOCK UP AND MAKE LOUD NOISES I HAD TO GET IT REPLACED ONCE THIS WILL BE MY SECOND TIME REPLACING THE FAN. I NOTICED ON THE JEEP FORUM THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT LOTS OF JEEP RENEGADE DRIVERS ARE HAVING ITS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE AND SOMETIMES I TAKE ROAD TRIPS IVE ONLY HAD THE JEEP A YEAR .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE 'POWER STEERING SYSTEM CHECK' MESSAGE DISPLAYED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (ZIMMER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 1086 BURLINGTON PIKE, FLORENCE KY), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING ON VACATION ALL THE SUDDEN MY 2016 JEEP RENEGADE STARTS TO OVERHEAT AND MAKING LOUD NOISES WHICH APPEAR TO BE COMING FROM THE FAN. IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER. CLEARLY THE FAN IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE A COOLING FAN SHOULDN'T FAIL LESS THAN 60000 MILES. JEEP DEALER IS CHARGING A LITTLE OVER $700.00 TO FIX IT WHICH INVOLVES REPLACING THE FAN ASSEMBLY ALONG WITH A SENSOR. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM AND STILL CONTINUING.
