2018 Jeep Renegade

THE BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN WAS STUCK ON THE VIEWING SCREEN ON THE DASH. I SHIFTED THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS JUST A FROZEN VIEW FROM THE REAR CAMERA. I COULD NOT OPERATE THE RADIO OR ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE A FEW MINUTES LATER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER AND THE SCREEN WAS BLACK, I COULD NOT OPERATE THE RADIO OR ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT CONTROLLED BY THE PANEL. I CALLED THE DEALER WHO SAID I SHOULD BRING IT IN THE NEXT DAY. I TOOK IT HOME AND PARKED IT. A FEW HOURS LATER I STARTED IT AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL IN THE VEHICLE ONLY LASTED 200 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK, LOST ELECTRICAL POWER, AND STALLED. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, A GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED TO "STEP ON BRAKE, PRESS THE START BUTTON". THE CONTACT DID AS INSTRUCTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE RADIO REMAINED ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOTOR WORLD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (150 MOTORWORLD DR, WILKES-BARRE, PA 18702, (888) 459-2493) AND WAS INFORMED THAT AN OIL CHANGE AND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WERE NEEDED. THE OIL WAS CHANGED. THE DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE A FAILURE WITH THE RADIO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 71429369. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

EVERY FEW WEEKS THE SYSTEM SWITCHES TO METRIC AND THEN HAVE TO RESET BACK TO AMERICAN STANDARD. IT ALSO CHANGES THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING SETTINGS TO COME ON AT MAXED OUT TEMP AND THE HIGHEST SETTING ON THE BLOWER. ALREADY HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER ONCE AND THERE FIXED WORKED FOR A WEEK OR TWO THEN RIGHT BACK TO THE PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIRST START THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT OPERATE WHEN THE SENSOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SHEBOYGAN CHRYSLER CENTER (2701 WASHINGTON AVE, SHEBOYGAN, WI 53081, (920) 459-6020) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NEED A SPECIAL TOOL TO ALIGN THE RADAR CAMERA AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 59686676 AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO SCHMIT BROS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (905 E GREEN BAY AVE, SAUKVILLE, WI 53080, (262) 284-3100). THE DEALER ALSO DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER TOOL. THE CONTACT'S SON TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WOLFCHASE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8170 US-64, BARTLETT, TN 38133, (901) 373-3030) WHERE HE WAS MISINFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER AGAIN ABOUT THE DEALER HAVING THE TOOL FOR THE ALIGNMENT.

SINCE 21000 MILES (FIRST INSTENCE) WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF , AND LOSING ALL POWER TO THE GAS AND BREAK, ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. I WAS TURNING LEFT AND THE ENGINE SPUTRERED, THEN AS THE WHEEL STRAIGHTENED UP IT COMPLETELY LOUSY ALL GAS, AND BREAK FUNCTION AS IF IT WAS NOT IDLING. ABOUT EVERY 3-4 WEEKS AFTER IT WOULD STALL, BUT NOT LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL. WE STARTED TO NOTICE IT WAS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL, AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING FIRST COUPLE ISSUES. WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING IT LOOKED AT, AS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO START THE ENGINE AT ALL, WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 30,000 MILES. CAR IS 1.5 YEARS OLD , PROBLEMS AROSE 5 MONTHS AGO.

AT 19700 MILES I WAS DRIVING HOME (50 MILES) IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD MY ENGINE STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID FROM HITTING ME. I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START UP AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK. I WENT LESS THEN 3 MILES AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLED THE DRIVE LIGHT FLASHED A FEW TIMES BEFORE CUTTING OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND SAFELY PARKED IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAD WONDERFUL SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT I WAS A LITTLE UPSET WHEN TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY A FLUKE. THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AFTER THEY COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE WHAT IT HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE. I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY STANDARD BUT I'M SINCERELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND WHAT I CAN DO IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WITHOUT THE DEALER BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. *TR
