2017 Jeep Renegade

I HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR EVER TO BUY THE CARD OF MY DREAM: A JEEP RENEGADE AND I FINALLY GOT IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AND NOT EVEN A PARKING TICKET AND WITH THE SAME INSURANCE FOR FOURTEEN YEAR (GEICO). ONE EVENING ON MY WAY TO THE SUPERMARKET AND WHILE MAKING A LEFT, I FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING, I KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT SLIDE VERY SLOWLY, AND BOOM! I WAS HIT ON THE BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AN OLD PICK TRUCK. (A LEFT IN AZ, YOU ARE NEGLIGENT). WHAT A NIGHTMARE! THE POLICE TAKING THE REPORT WAS SOMETHING THAT I COULD NOT EXPLAIN, HIM TALKING AND LAUGHING WITH THE YOUNG MEN THAT HIT ME AS IF HE KNEW THE RELATIVES THAT CAME TO AID. I CALLED MY INSURANCE FOR A TOW TRUCK AND THEY WERE UNABLE BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTERS WERE UPDATING. I JUST KNEW THAT I WAS NOT NEGLIGENT, AND I WAS RIGHT. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR JEEP RENEGADE 2017 FROM THE FCA STATING THAT A LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE MAY LEAD TO AN ENGINE STALL RESULTING IN A SUDDEN LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, WHICH MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. REMEDY: ALL OF THE INVOLVE VEHICLES MUST HAVE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED. TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AT MORE CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PART FOR THE CAR IT WAS A HASSLE, A LADY AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD NO IDEA IF THEY HAD ANYTHING AND FINALLY TODAY, I CALL SEVERAL AGENCIES I HAD IDEA EXISTED (8/12/2019). DID I GET AN ATTORNEY? UNLESS THERE IS DEATH, DISMEMBERMENT, DIU AN THE SUCH THERE IS NO CASE. MY INTACT DRIVING RECORD IS DAMAGE (THAT IS ANOTHER STORY OF WHAT I WENT THROUGH), I HAVE FLOATING RIBS AND PAIN IN ALL PARTS OF MY BODY. I AM GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE. THE VERY LEAST I WANT IS VINDICATION FOR MY DRIVING RECORD. HOW?

AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. SLIGHTLY COMPRESSING THE BRAKE TO COME TO A HAULT. INSTEAD OF BRAKING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO A CONCRETE PILLAR IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. A RED LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH INDICATING THE PARKING BRAKE, I LOOKED DOWN AND IT WAS NOT ON. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AGAIN AND AGAIN ACCELERATED INTO THE CONCRETE PILLAR RATHER THAN STOPPING. *DT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTS TO FEEL LIKE IT IS CUTTING OFF. SO I HAVE TO PUSH ON THE GAS IN HOPE THAT IT WILL STOP IT FROM CUTTING OFF. IT DOES CUT OFF GOING DOWN A STREET AND CARS HAVE TO SWERVE FROM HITTING ME AND PEOPLE ARE BLOWING THEIR HORNS AND ME AND HITTING THEIR BRAKES SO THAT THEY DON'T HIT ME. I HAD A BABY IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL FOR NO ONE. IT HAD A RECALL AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED BUT IT'S NOT. IT HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO 4 DEALERSHIPS AND THEY ALL SAY IT'S FIXED THEY ARE COMING UP WITH SOMETHING NEW ALL THE TIME. THIS CAR HAS SCARED ME.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL JERK REALLY HARD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND PICK UP THE SPEED OR JUST DRIVING NORMAL. THE DEALER SAID IT HAD TO IMITATE THE PROBLEM SO HE CAN KNOW WHAT TO FIX. SO IT DID IMITATE THE JERK SO HE WANTED TO DRIVE IT HISSELF CAUSE HE SAID THE WAY I WAS DRIVING CAUSED THE CAR TO JERK. I TOLD HIM I HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS AND IT HAS NEVER DONE THAT. SO IT CAN'T BE THE WAY I'M DRIVING. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE SAME THE WHOLE WHILE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME AND IT'S DOING THE SAME THING EVEN WORSE. . IT'S FRUSTRATING CAUSE THEY KEEP SAYING THAT IT'S NOT DOING IT. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER CAR FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND VEHICLE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM THEM WITH A BAD ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. NO HELP FROM THE DEALER JUST A LEMON OF A CAR. THE RADIO KEPT GOING BLANK. THEY SAID THEY FIXED THAT. I GOT IT BACK IT DID IT AGAIN PLUS THE JERKING. I'VE BEEN TO THEM3 TIMESALREADY STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. 😡NEVER WILL PURCHASE A DODGE JEEP OF. O KIND AGAIN.

POSSIBLE LINK TO TURNING STEERING WHEEL, WITH OR WITHOUT USE OF TURN SIGNAL-EFFECT ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. TURN SIGNALS NOT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY (NEITHER FOR LANE CHANGE OR TURNING, LEFT OR RIGHT.-MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES). TAIL LIGHTS- WHILE BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY ONE NIGHT I REALIZED I HAD NO LIGHTS IN THE BACK INCLUDING REVERSE LIGHTS (ONLY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM ONCE BY THE REFLECTION OF MY CAR IN MY HUSBANDS) ALL LIGHTING ISSUES OCCURRED WITH LIGHTS TURNED TO AUTO AND VEHICLE IN MOTION. EMERGENCY BRAKE SELF ENGAGED WHILE IN MOTION. AFTER SWITCHING GEARS AND BEFORE HITTING GAS AND OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. A MESSAGE ALONG THE LINES OF-VEHICLE NOT ON, SHIFT TO PARK AND PRESS RUN/STOP BUTTON-HAS SHOWN BUT ONLY AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE DOES IT SHOW THAT THE PARKING BRAKE HAS ENGAGED-MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES. PASSENGER SEATBELT SENSOR ILLUMINATES AT RANDOM, NOTHING ON SEAT (CONCERNED FOR MALFUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT) -HAVE TO PRESS THE STOP/START BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE CAR TO TURN ON (NO RESPONSE IN THE FORM OF SOUNDS OR LIGHTS WITH EACH ATTEMPT PRIOR TO THE ONE THAT STARTS THE VEHICLE.-REMOTE START:VEHICLE TURNS ON > TRY TO ENTER VEHICLE MOMENTS LATER--CAR WILL TURN OFF WITH TOUCH OF HANDLES OR PRESS TO UNLOCK BUTTON-"REMOTE START DISABLED" -LIFT GATE CLOSED AND AUDIBLY LATCHED>LIGHTS FLASH, LATCH RELEASES, DOOR OPENS ITSELF-MAY HAPPEN 1 OR 30 TIMES.CHECK ENGINE: THERMOSTAT REPLACED, KEY FOB LOSES CONNECTION: WARNING "FOB HAS LEFT VEHICLE" WHILE ACTUALLY IN CUP HOLDER, ENGAGES PARKING BRAKE-ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF MESSAGE/DISENGAGE BRAKE IS TO POWER OFF/ON. CAN DRIVE WITH NO KEYS IN PART OF TRANSMISSION REPAIRED, RADIO REPLACED 2 TIMES, TRANSMISSION STICKS/SLAMS MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES.

WHILLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND DESCENDING A SMALL HILL THE VEHICLE "SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT" ILLUMINATES, CHIMES AND THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION LOCKS INTO A RANDOM GEAR (TYPICALLY 3 OR 5TH GEAR) AND REMAINS IN THIS GEAR. IT HAPPENS OVER HALF OF THE TIME AND RESULTS IN A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY OR MAINTAIN ADEQUATE SPEED DEPENDING ON THE GEAR IN WHICH IT IS STUCK. THE VEHICLE HAS TO DODGE TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER IN A SAFE PLACE WHERE THE VEHICLE CAN BE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, WHICH IN MOST CASES WILL RESET THE TRANSMISSION AND ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION CLOSER TO NORMAL. FCA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEALER HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO REMEDY THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR 6 MONTHS. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, THE TRANSMISSION, THE EVAP CANISTER AND THE FUEL PUMP. FCA AND THE DEALER ARE STATING THIS IS "NORMAL" FUNCTION AND THAT THE TURN OR THE HILL MUST BE EXTREME OPERATION. THIS IS HAPPENING AT A SLOW SPEED TURN OF 10-15 MPH. I HAVE VIDEO RECORDINGS WHICH HAVE BEEN SHARED WITH FCA AND THE DEALER AND I WOULD GLADLY SHARE WITH NHTSA. AS A FORMER VP AT A TIER ONE AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIER, I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS IS NOT EXTREME OPERATION AND IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WHICH THE MANUFACTURER IS UNWILLING TO RECTIFY. IF THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SOFTWARE RELATED SAFETY DEFECT IT COULD RESULT IN ADDITIONAL JEEP RENEGADES OPERATING UNSAFELY ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS. PLEASE ADVISE WHERE I CAN SEND ALL THE VIDEO EVIDENCE.

I HAVE A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE, THE CAR IS RUNNING OUT OF OIL , I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT SEEMS THAT THE ENGINE KEEPS BURNING THE OIL WITHOUT ANY AND THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY ALERTS REPORTING ME THAT THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE OIL, I HAVE TO KEEP CHECKING THE OIL TO MAKE SURE IS RIGHT TO AVOID THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING, IS REALLY DANGEROUS THAT THE CAR IS BURNING THE WHOLE MOTOR OIL EVERY 500 MILES WHIOUT HAVING ANY LEAKING OR SHOWING LOW OIL ALERT SIGNS AND THE DEALER CAN'T FIX IT , THE DEALER SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE DAMAGE TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENT THIS CAR IS WORSE THAN HAVING AN OLD 1987 CAR.
