2017 Jeep Renegade

TAKATA RECALL..MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2018 HAD 18 MILES ON THE ODOMETER...ON JULY 20, 2017, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HAD JUST COME THRU A WORK ZONE; TRAFFIC HAD BEEN STOP AND GO FOR ABOUT 10 MILES. AS I REACHED THE END OF THE WORK ZONE; THE JEEP STARTED JERKING AS IF THE GEARSHIFT WAS STUCK OR SHIFTING UNCONTROLLABLY, LOST POWER AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY! I HAD NO SHOULDER OR EXIT T STEER TOWARDS. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE VEHICLE CALLED OHP AND ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. AFTER 15 20 MINUTES, I WENT BACK TO TRY START THE JEEP AND IT STARTED! THIS WAS THE 2ND OCCURRENCE. THE FIRST TIME IT DID NOT SHUT OFF. I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SCHEDULED IT FOR SERVICE.

TAKATA RECALL. WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN MY JEEP SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS. IT THEN PROCEEDED TO HAVE SURGES. NO LIGHTS CAME ON. IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF BUT WAS STILL ON. A ERROR CAME ON STATING TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION. TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP THAT SAID IT WAS NEEDING AN UPDATE WITH THE COMPUTER. WENT 340 MORE MILES THE NEXT DAY AND IT DONE THE EXACT SAME THING. LOST ALL POWER STEERING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. GOT TOWED AND THEY TOLD ME NO CODES CAME UP WHILE PLUGGED INTO THE COMPUTER. WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND WOULD BE A TWO WEEK WAIT. WAS TOLD IT'S BEEN A VERY COMMON THING WITH THE 2017 RENEGADES SO THEY'RE BACK ORDERED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP THE DAY BEFORE BYPASSED SOMETHING TO SEND ME ON MY WAY. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY AREN'T HELPING AT ALL. AND I'M STILL 480 MILES FROM MY HOME. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THEM. IT WILL END UP GETTING SOMEONE KILLED.

CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET HEADING STRAIGHT WHEN IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. VARIOUS MESSAGES HAVE BEEN DISPLAYED THE MOST PREVIOUS TIMES SAYING "TO SHIFT VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED" I WASN'T TRYING TO SHIFT? NO CODES EVER BEING SHOWN ARE THE SAME. ALL ISSUES CAUSE THE CAR TO COMPLETELY STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE ROADS OFCOURSE. IT'S ALREADY HAD AN UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM THE DEALERSHIP SAID WAS NEEDED. NOW BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING SO IT'S CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. JUST HIT 20K MILES. ALL OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE ON TIME AS THE JEEP HAS ALL WARRANTIES THE CHYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP OFFERED. CAN CONTACT DEALERSHIP FOR MORE DETAIL. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE JANUARY 2018

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND A SEVERE VIBRATION WAS FELT. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND JERKING WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TURLOCK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1600 AUTO MALL DR., TURLOCK, CA), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 287.

ON JUNE 11TH, 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR WITH JUST UNDER 7000 MILES WE NOTICED THE BATTERY LIGHT ON WHICH DISAPPEARED ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING IT. TODAY, JUNE 20TH, WHILE DRIVING ON FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE AT 72MPH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND AND THE CAR SEEMED TO LOSE POWER VERY BRIEFLY AS IF IT WAS GOING TO TURN OFF. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY ON AN INTERSTATE. I AM ALSO NOTICING SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AT TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO AVOID HITTING A PEDESTRIAN, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A TELEPHONE POLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE CONTACT SUFFERED FROM SORENESS THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DEALER (MCLARTY DANIEL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 479-250-3900) WAS CALLED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.
