MANUAL TRANS 1.4L. FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST YEAR, I'VE GOTTEN AN INTERMITTENT 'SERVICE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE' MESSAGE. I NEVER HAD IT LOOKED AT, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THEN IT WOULD GO AWAY. ALSO THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED TURNING OFF FROM ACCESSORY POWER MODE. I COULDN'T JUST ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS, I HAD TO CRANK THE CAR OR THE POWER WOULDN'T TURN BACK OFF. RECENTLY HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0807 'CLUTCH POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT 1 LOW' SHOWING. THE NEXT DAY, CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO START. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES PUSHING THE START BUTTON AND MESSING WITH CLUTCH BEFORE IT WOULD TURN OVER. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP (NOT DEALER) AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING OR REPLICATE THE CODES AND TOLD ME IT WAS A GLITCH. NEXT DAY I GET THE EPB LIGHT AGAIN AND USED MY CODE READER AND IT WAS SHOWING P0807 AND ABS CODE C1220-86. SO I LOCATED SAID SWITCH AND UNPLUGGED IT, AND BOOM. ALL THE PROBLEM CODES POPPED UP AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF LIKE NORMAL. I REMOVED THE SENSOR AND OPENED THE COVER ON IT. THE CARBON FILM INSIDE WAS MISSING A SECTION. TESTED WITH A METER AND THE SENSOR LOST VOLTAGE WHEN SWEEP ARM INSIDE REACHED THE BROKEN SPOT. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED SOMEWHERE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE TOOLS TO REACH AND JUMP OUT THIS SENSOR. AND OF COURSE CLUTCH PARTS ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT SEEING AS IT'S ON THE INSIDE OF A SENSOR THAT I COULDN'T REACH WITHOUT REMOVING THE PANEL UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL.

COMPLAINT CRASHNO FIRENO INJURIES0 DEATHS0 MY VEHICLE IS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FEBRUARY 11. MANY 2017 JEEP RENEGADES HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUED ON THEM FOR THE VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. CAR COMPLETELY STALLED AND LOCKED UP. BROUGHT IT TO HAVE OIL CHECKED AND IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO CHECKED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WHICH ARE FINE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND HAVE HEARD THIS WITH OTHER JEEPS. . CAR WAS DRIVING WHEN SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY CAME TO A COMPLETE HALT AND ON THE OTHER OCCASION IT OCCURRED AT A STOP. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED AND SHUTDOWN.

TOOK THE JEEP TO DEALER FOR PA STATE INSPECTION . DURING THE INSPECTION IT WAS REVEALED A PROBLEM WITH A REAR DISK BRAKE. THE INSIDE PAD HAS WORE OUT DO TO NOT RETRACTING. THIS JEEP HAS A ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE. I FEEL THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM, CAUSING IT NOT TO RETRACT THE INSIDE PAD. THE PAD A WORE COMPLELY OUT DAMAGING THE DISK. I HAD TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED. JEEP HAS ONLY 23000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT WORKING RIGHT. IF NOT FOR MY STATES YEARLY INSPECTION LAW THE PROBLEM WORLD NOT HAVE BEEN KNOWN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

AT 14,024 MILES, FRONT BRAKES WERE MAKING A GRINDING METAL TO METAL NOISE WHENEVER APPLIED. MY VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP SINCE I WAS TOLD OVER THE PHONE BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT BRAKES ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR. (EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW.) UPON MECHANICAL INSPECTION, MY FRONT ROTORS (BOTH SIDES) WERE DEEPLY GROOVED BUT MY BRAKE PAD WAS STILL AT 90%THICKNESS, ALTHOUGH THERE SEEMED TO BE SMALL CHIP AT CORNER OF BRAKE PAD. I AGREED TO HAVE BOTH FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED. THEN AGAIN, AT 27,475 MILES, THE LEFT SIDE ROTOR HAD SAME REPEATED WEAR PATTERN. AGAIN, THE LEFT SIDE ROTOR WAS MEASURED FOR MINIMAL THICKNESS AND RESURFACED AT AN INDEPENDENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP. PADS, AGAIN, HAD GOOD OPERATING THICKNESS AND REINSTALLED.I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE THIS WEEK AND I AM BEGINNING TO HEAR THE GRINDING NOISE AGAIN! WHEN IS THE JEEP MANUFACTURER GOING TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FORMULATING A FRONT BRAKE PAD MATERIAL THAT GRINDS INTO THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS?? ALSO REFUND REPAIRS TO CONSUMERS THAT HAVE INVESTED IN THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE (AT THEIR COST), NEW FRONT PADS AND NEW BRAKE ROTORS...JEEP, DODGE AND CHRYSLER-YOUR MANUFACTURING QUALITY IS DIMINISHING!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THEY WOULD HEAR A RATTLING AND KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE'S REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LATCH AND LOCK INTO THE BUCKLE. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THE VEHICLE'S OIL CHANGE/ CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED DESPITE RECENTLY HAVING THE MOTOR CHANGED, THEREFORE OIL LEVELS BEING MET. THE BRAKING PARK ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AS WELL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (LARRY H MILLER COLORADO JEEP LOCATED AT 350 S HAVANA ST. AURORA, CO 80012; PHONE NUMBER 720-262-2215) WHO STATED THE LOWER TRANSMISSION MOUNT WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE SEATBELTS WERE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED A CASE REGARDING AN ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11.

PURCHASED 4/20/2017 THE PROBLEMS BEGAN WITH THE AC GOING OUT AT 10000MILES. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT TO FIX IT TOLD US TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. AFTER ARGUING ABOUT OUR WARRANTY WE GOT A LOANER. NEXT THEY REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS 2 TIMES. AGAIN, DID NOT WANT TO PROVIDE LOANER HAD TO COMPLAIN FOR THEM TO HONOR WARRANTY AGREEMENT. THEN TRANSMISSION SKIPS AND RADIO FREQUENCY HUB WAS REPLACED TWICE WHILE IN THE SHOP FOR 4 MONTHS FROM DEC 14 2018 TILL AROUND MARCH 17 2019. STEERING MODULE REPLACED DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE CENTER GETTING COMPLETELY HOT. COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SKIPPING STILL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON. AUTOMATIC START FAULTY. WILL ATTACH ALL REPAIR INVOICES. MOST RECENT! 5/6/2019, A MONDAY THE CAR WAS SCHEDULED DUE TO A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP AND THE AUTOMATIC START WOULD NOT WORK. ALONG WITH THAT WHEN THE CAR STARTED THE SCREEN WOULD FLASH WARNING SIGNS: EMERGENCY BREAK SYSTEM, AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED TO NOT HAVE A LOANER. HOWEVER, FRIDAY 5/10/2019 I HAD NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK AND ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. THE EMERGENCY BREAKS LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN FM 1289 HEADING TO PORT O'CONNOR, TEXAS FROM PORT LAVACA, TEXAS. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMANDED A LOANER. THE VEHICLE IS CLEARLY A LEMON! HOWEVER LARRY TAYLOR, A SERVICE TECHNICIAN, TOLD US "I VALUE MY LIFE I WOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE". PAUL PEREZ SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER SAID "I WOULDN'T PUT MY FAMILY IN THAT VEHICLE." THEN THEY DEMANDED WE BRING THE LOANER BACK 5/17/2019 TO PICK UP OUR VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THEM HAD A SHORT CIRCUIT, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MIND YOU, AND MADE THE EMERGENCY BREAKS ENGAGE AND THE SEAT BELTS MALFUNCTION. ALSO, THE AIRBAGS MALFUNCTIONED FLASHING WARNING AS THE BREAKS LOCKED UP. I COULD ONLY SELECT 3 OPTIONS BUT SEAT BELTS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED.
