2018 Jeep Renegade

PURCHASED NEW ON 3/19/19. ON 3/25/19, WITH 108 MILES ON IT, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP WHILE IN MOTION, IN TRAFFIC ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. WAS TOWED TO DEALER, WHO 8 DAYS LATER SAID TRANSMISSION MODULE WAS FAULTY, REPLACED, RETURNED TO ME 4/1/19. 4/6/19 SAME SCENARIO REPEATED, HOWEVER THIS TIME IN A PARKING LOT. AGAIN TOWED TO DEALER. THE FIRST TIME AN EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE! I STRONGLY SUGGEST A RECALL!!

WHILE DRIVING, MY JEEP RENEGADE WILL JUST TURN OFF. I HAVE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO RESTART THE CAR A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT TO SOMEONE SOMEDAY. IT JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. IT'S A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE WITH 5K MILES! WHY WOULD IT JUST SHUT OFF? I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED TO ME. ONCE LAST WEEK AND ONCE TODAY 12/26/2018. THE LIGHTS BLINK SAYING ENGINE SYSTEM/MAINTENANCE AND LOW OIL PRESSURE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH JEEP RENEGADES, BUT JEEP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. HOW DOES THIS GET FIXED? SOMEONE COULD GET KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED IN REVERSE WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. IN ADDITION, THE VENT CONTROL FUNCTION FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY TO EMIT WARM AIR. THE DEALER (BIG O DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM, 2645 LAURENS RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, (864) 288-5000) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, LOST ALL POWER. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING. THE D FOR DRIVE WAS FLASHING ON THE DASH AND A MESSAGE POPPED UP SAYING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO START ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES AND IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR WITH JUST 1300 MILES ON IT. *DT UPDATED 11/30/18*JB

VEHICLE STALLING AND DYING WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. I CAN SIT FOR 10 MIN AND IT HESITATES SO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND STOP (SOMETIME WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD) IT SEEMS IF I LEAVE IT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 20 MIN IT WILL DO THIS THEN THE WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES AND IT AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS ITS SELF OFF. AND IN ORDER TO DRIVE IT I HAVE TO LEAVE IT TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MIN THEN IT WILL RUN OK... I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE THEY CAN SEEM TO REPLICATE IT (IF THEY EVEN REALLY TRIED TO) I JUST PURCHASED THIS LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO HAD ONLY 6 MILES ON IT. ITS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE LIMITED 2X4.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE PULLED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND THEN STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ONCE RESTATED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO DICK POE CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 6501 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925, (915) 778-9331). THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,700.

I PURCHASED THE CAR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO AND IT SEEMS THAT THE FIRST FOUR GEARS SOMETIMES MAKES THE CAR LUNGE WHEN THEY SHIFT UP. I CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND I WAS INFORMED THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOWING UP. IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN IM ACCELERATING BOTH FAST AND SLOW.

BOUGHT NEW 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. TRAVELING FROM PANAMA CITY FLORIDA TO A NEW DUTY STATION AT FT. BLISS (EL PASO TEXAS). AT AROUND 400 MILES ON THE VEHICLE ODOMETER, WINDSHIELD STARTED CRACKING. AT AROUND 1400 MILES ON VEHICLE ODOMETER, TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE FAILED 5 SEPARATE TIMES WHILE TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. WE WERE TRAVELING WEST ON INTERSTATE 10, POSTED SPEED LIMIT 80 MPH, APPROXIMATELY 4 FOOT OF SHOULDER SOME AREAS, ZERO FEET WHERE GUARD RAILS WERE.
