2015 Jeep Renegade limited 4x4 has stalled while driving on 3 separate occasions since purchasing it used from dealership in January 2019. It stalls while in stop and go traffic without any warning. I have to put in park, push the start button to turn it off, and then push the button again with foot on break to start it again. Thankfully this has only happened while driving slowly (10-15 mph) in a line of cars towards a stop sign however this is extremely unsafe!.
The governor randomly kicks in during city and highway driving (below 80 mph), stalling out the vehicle.
The vehicle switched gears on its own, couldn't recognize when I tried to put it in park or any other gear, and stalled out on me. Now shows that the power steering needs to be serviced.
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. While the vehicle was stationary, it stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure occurred on numerous occasions while driving and while stationary. In addition, there were several electrical failures with the lighting and the door locks. On a separate occasion, the contact stated that the windshield was replaced. Several unknown dealers were contacted about the series of failures over a period of 15 months ever since the vehicle was purchased. The dealers could not duplicate the failures. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the matter was in the legal department of Chrysler. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 3,240.
This is my 2nd complaint against this vehicle reference number (February 21 2017 NHTSA id number: 10956054). The car will occassionaly simply stop while highway driving, but the normal problem is quitting as we are accelerating from a stop sign or light. This car was in the shop in February for over a week, where they serviced a recall. The part was back ordered and only being installed where the vehicle was having problems. My wife is currently driving her car back from south carolina and has had this issue twice since leaving. It is not throwing any indicators, warnings or sounds.
When trying to accelerate from a stop, car hesitates to the point of almost stalling for several seconds then lurches/jerks forward, running rough for several seconds as it finally starts moving forward. Dangerous when pulling out into traffic; the vehicle is immobile as it hesitates/stalls! has not completely shut down yet but hesitates long enough that it feels like it will. Called dealership, they said there were more software updates for the 2015 Renegade. Took in today to be serviced; 7 flash software updates which included a transmission update. The dealer said to see if it drives better after the software updates. Scary!.
Salesman said they could make it like the one we wanted (we picked by color) but they would have to add remote start and heated seats. We picked it up noticing they butchered the seat putting in heated seats. We get home with it and shut it off mind you this is brand new, to wake up in the middle of the night cause I hear a car running in the garage its the Jeep. They tell me the remote start does it if battery is low. So I start parking it outside as not to die from carbon monoxide poisoning to find it outside running every night. At 1200 miles the rear end starts growling and transmission won't shift and it randomly shuts off going down the highway. Its the remote starter they say so they remove it. They gave it back to me with my money back. Does it again 3 more times and took it in 3 more times for shutting off on highway, rear end growling still and transmission not shifting. Get it back we couldn't find anything wrong with it but we did updates to the computer and transmission. Next day radio starts changing stations on its own as I record it with my phone, lights going off and on, windows not working and still not shifting. They replaced rear end pig, radio, wiring harness as they said the guy bent a pin installing remote starter. Then at 17,000 miles rear end and transmission start doing it again and the shorting comes back, new rear pinion at another dealership, new radio again as the other one shorted out, transmission still not shifting. Filed for lemon law Chrysler comes back with the car is fine its due to the after market equipment I had installed. Your dealer ship is who had it installed brand new vehicle. Still have problems with transmission not shifting or taking off when pushing gas pedal. Stuck with this junk cause they won't take it back. Called lawyers and they said love to help but that was a one and done deal. Never buy Chrysler again.
I have had two incidents of my Jeep Renegade(9 speed automatic) stalling on me when stopped and in drive and when in park. The engine would shutter intermittently. I notice that when in park the tachometer would rev up without the gas pedal being pressed down. I would have to put car in park at stops or red lights to restart car and put back into drive to get going. Even then the car would lag trying to get back up to speed. It would shutter when driving at low mph. This is horrible and I am afraid I will get into an accident. My dealership service department could not find anything wrong with it when I had the problem the first time( after I drove right of the lot). So here it is a month and half later and the problem has returned but worse than before. I am taking the car back to service again. However, I am going to ask for them to tow Jeep because this car is unpredictable right now to be driven safely!.
I was on the highway when suddenly my brand new car stalled and would not shift back into gear. The car became immobilized and had to get towed back to the dealership. They replaced the fuel valve and did not test for transmission or electrical issues. Two days later the same thing happened on the highway. I took it to a different dealership and they did not know what was wrong with it, so they updated the software in the car because two updates were available. I got the car back and it broke down for a third time, again after only 2 days. The car is currently in the shop and Chrysler is reluctant to buyback the vehicle. Nobody can figure out what is wrong.
