general problems of the 2015 Jeep Renegade - part 2

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph when the vehicle suddenly stalled. The gear shifter was able to be moved however the gear would not shift to match the intended gear the vehicle was shifted to. The vehicle would display that the vehicle would need to be in park in order to shut the vehicle off, however, the gear shifter would not move to the park position. The contact had to press the break for an extensive amount of time to stop the vehicle was designed to restart on its own, which, it did so. The contact was able to proceed with driving the vehicle. The contact stated that their failure related to NHTSA campaign number: 16v529000 (power train). The vehicle had not been taken to the dealership, diagnosed, or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Gl.

I sent 1 service record. I have 3 more if needed. Jeep still is unsafe I was on a busy street at 5pm at a stop light. When I put foot on gas the car would not move then it started out inching away and finally got moving. It took at least 8 or 10 seconds to get passed the green light and the car behind me was way to close and could have been an accident. I have had it looked at 4 or 5 times and all thats been done is updates and replaced a valve body part. I have an attorney and filed suit against Chrysler. This Jeep is not safe to drive and they dont care. They are going to wait til someone dies then they will get on this issue. I dont know why my Jeep was not in the last recall for transmission but it should be, and they should not be allowed to resell this Jeep or the 2015 Renegades period. They are not safe. There are many complaints about this transmission and still no recall. Its been 4 yrs with this Jeep running like its 30 yrs old and I am paying 41000 for it. Do missouri a favor,get these 9speed transmissions off the road, they are causing major stress and hardships to the owners. The speed in this Jeep is unpredictable. I was on a city street driving at 35 mph and as soon as I was going down a big hill the car sped up way more than the usual down hill speed. They all go a little faster but this was like it was trying to go above 55 and was praying it would stop and it did. But when will the day come that it wont . . . I will not live to tell if it ever happens. Sad. And all I wanted was a way to get to work,. And all Chrysler cares about is getting paid .

When driving the vehicle it hesitates to receive gas and it shifts extremely hard between gears. It stalls and moves forward aggressively when pressing the gas. It vibrates hard while idling (at traffic lights) it has become a safety hazard as it feels as though it is ready to stop at any moment.

I am contacting you due to due to baxter service rep paul at baxter Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealer refusal to repair recalls for my Jeep Renegade. The recalls that generate from my insurance company allstate are indeed recalls my vehicle needs based on performance issues. He informed me that they're not recalls, and when I said allstate made them up, he said �yeah�! the information for the 4 recalls are from data. Gov. The service department at baxter says they are only going to repair the recall (for engine cooling fan) that Chrysler website shows! please advise &/or assist to resolve this issue! I have reported to the assistant service mgr justin sunquist and bbb as well. Thanks.

Hard clunk shifting in first 3 gears. It should be a smooth transition but it thumps hard and lurches forward when going from 1st to 2nd especially. It's a scary issue that upon reading I see it is a problem with my make and model Jeep. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

When driving the vehicle it shifts extremely hard between gears. It will stall then lurch forwards when hitting the gas pedal. It vibrates very hard while idling (like at a stop light) about 50% of the time. It has been serviced at my local Jeep dealership where the pushed a software update. This helped, but did not solve the issues for a few weeks (at most). It is now scheduled to be dropped off again.

Starting from a stationary position, the transmission often has trouble getting into gear. It happens getting into reverse or drive. When I switch from the break peddle to the gas peddle and gently press on it, the transmission often has trouble finding the gear. The has happened while driving also. Stopped at a stop sign, I gently press the gas, only to find that my car will not go. It has happened on the highway, while at higher speeds, it tries to shift to a higher gear and it has trouble getting there. It has happened 60-70 times over the last year, becoming more frequent. I had trouble with this the first year I got the car, but they said it was fine. I feel like it's a safety risk.

Car stalls while driving. All lights flash on dashboard flash. Shifter froze.

If you have small children do not load them in this Jeep! when accelerating from a dead stop will struggle to get up to speed and sounded like I was rear ended at a high speed. I got out of the Jeep to see if something fell off. Transmission sounds and feels like its slipping. Not every time but it happens so often it has made me feel unsafe and I do not go out of town or long trips over 45 miles away from home. . Every time I take it to the shop and ask whats going on they say its how the Jeep Renegade was made, its normal for it to do all this.

Car will fail sporadically to accelerate while trying to merge into traffic I was almost hit by other vehicles more than once I've talked to others with the same car and all of them described the same exact experience it's only a matter of time before someone is killed.

My vehicle jerks forward when I accelerate from a complete stop. This also happens most of the time when I am driving 30 m. P. H. Or less and try to accelerate. My car will jerk forward and back, then operate normal. My reported this issue with my dealership, but they couldn't find anything wrong and sent me off. I've gone to them twice, and simply gave up, but the issue is still there. I purchased my car in 2015. It's very annoying, but there doesn't seem to be a recall for this issue, although, many customers are experiencing the same thing. Same model year (2015), we're all not crazy, there is definitely an issue with the 2015 Renegade's transmission.

Apx 2 months after purchase car would not start in my driveway. Diff codes would appear and it locked up. Towed to dealer and battery replaced. While driving and coming to stop on local roads car would feel like rearended and check oil light would come on and service engine icon and car would stall. On diff occasions when trying to start car in my driveway it would either not start or barely turn over and have no accelarition or 3 mph and would not go in reverse. Car would stall about 4 blocks from house when I came to stop. Transmission replaced and the rear end feeling fixed. Car had oil change appt recently and day of appt it would not start and engine light came on. Half hour later car started and I took it to dealer. Service said problem fixed. Week later same problem again. Took to dealer and they said problem fixed come get car. Service called me and said car wouldnt start for them even tho they fixed it. My car has now been in shop 3 weeks waiting on part. Part edt is now 9/11/19. I also had motor mounts replaced and now dealer also says problem with my suspension and that has caused my year old tires to wear thin. No photos to submit. Dates car affected approx.

Transmission hesitates so badly going into second gear that I am constantly almost rear ended, and being screamed at by other motorists, especially in traffic. If you're not at a complete stop, it's not as badr. But forget it if you have to stop for over 3 seconds. Traffic and parking lot seems to be the absolute worse (if you're keeping it at 15 mph or under it seems. First they replaced the valve body, then 2 trans mounts, all at a cost to me, before they decided to replace the trans. Transmission was supposedly "replaced" under warranty, but has only gotten worse. Also, now having engine replaced, because it burns 3 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. Less than 50,000 miles on this car.

I was making a turn from a stop and vehicle would not accelerate when gas pedal was depressed it took about 5sec for the vehicle to accelerate. It was almost hit by on coming traffic, this has happened numerous times. The vehicle doesn't shift correctly from a stop and does not accelerate quickly. This will cause someone to be killed.

When idling and sometimes while driving the vehicle radiator cooling fan constantly wobbles and grinds against the shroud.

Temperature light comes on while idling. Cooling fan not working at all. Fan failed and fuse blown.

My garage has a slight incline. When I put the car in reverse, it jerks back and forth until I apply the brakes. Also when it shifts into second gear, I feel a slight hesitation and a hear a clunking sound.

While backing out of a parking spot, (I had switched the vehicle to reverse and had begun moving), my Renegade switched into neutral and stopped backing up. I tried switching back into park and into reverse again but instead the vehicle repeated the issue by going into neutral instead of reverse. I had to turn the vehicle off and restart it in order for the vehicle to operate properly.

Vehicle was in forward motion making a left turn at a traffic light when the automatic transmission shifted to neutral. Dashboard alert came on that the vehicle would have to be stopped before it could be shifted. Had to stop the vehicle, shift to park, turn the vehicle off and turn it back on before it would shift back into drive.

Hesitating, rough shifting and stalling. Will hesitate so bad when starting from a stopped position, and going into 2nd gear (9 gear trans) that I've been rear ended, in traffic, because my car has essentially stopped. Only 41,000 miles. Worst is when fully stopped and are only slightly accelerating to about 15 mph. Such as in traffic, a parking lot, or turning. Has stalled in middle of a intersection while turning. Won't restart for approximately 20 mins has been to dealer 3 times. They've "fixed it" each time. Have finally approved a new trans.

The transmission of my vehicle has been doing hard shifts and, at times, not shifting at all when the gas petal is pressed which has subsequently has almost caused major accidents. The rpm gauge rotates exceedingly high to the point of the feeling of stalling out before the vehicle actually shifts into gear, especially when in high traffic, stop and go roads such as cities where breaking and accelerating are frequent. When the vehicle does finally shift into gear, it feels as though the back of the vehicle has been hit because it lurches forward in such an extreme and forceful manner. This problem has been complained upon by many 2015 Renegade owners and upon bringing the car in for maintenance, are told its �just the way the car is built� or �it's performing as it's supposed to�. I believe this is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed and investigated for a solution before harm comes to the occupants or other nearby motorists.

Not even 1 month of purchasing the Jeep I was driving on I 40 when all the sudden the Jeep shifted into neutral so shited it back into drive and took it straight to larry h miller and they had it for 3 days I got it back and since that day it pops into neutral again at least 5 more times this time I was driving it on a business road so now I always have to keep my hand on the shifter just inase it happens again and also my lights keep going dim my radio lights and my light in the whole Jeep and every time apon acceleration the Jeep seems like it skips.

Takata recall I was not able to shift my Jeep into park. I can not shut it off. I was not able to go to my job. I had to let it run out of gas for it to shut off. Because of this I lost my job. I have not been able to make my payment. Please help.

When driving the vehicle shifts hard and jerks out of the first 1 to 2 gears.

When driving if you have to accelerate quickly the Renegade will essentially idle and hesitate before jerking forward. Happens specifically when having to change gears. Has nearly caused an accident numerous times.

Initial take off from a parked position, the transmission jerks hard through gears 1-3 in automatic transmission. Coming to a stop or slowing down it kicks hard, often times jerking forward and not stopping. Turning the wheel left or right, there is a grind or rub within the rack and pinion system. No warning lights on the dash or check engine lights are present.

My vehicle will stop going down the road and tell you to shift to park. Then will not crank for several mins after this. This has been happening for several months. Took the vehicle into service department and was told they updated the transmission module and here we are several months later with the same issue. This is dangerous and someone could be killed.

Cold crank vehicle warms up for about 10 minutes before driving. Then puts gear in reverse and the transmission kicks violently. Shift in to drive accelerate let go of gas pedal and the transmission kicks again to a lower gear. Transmission feels like it take a while to change gears while accelerating.

My check engine light came on and disabled my 4wd. All it needed was a thermostat. They told me anytime the service engine light comes on it will disable the 4wd. It doesn't matter what turns the check engine light on it will disable the 4wd. I tried going through the dealer, Jeep, fiat, Chrysler. They told me there was a safety issue and it would disable the 4wd. I told them I bought a Jeep for it's 4wd capabilities. The check engine light should only disable 4wd if it is a drive train problem. They told me if the weather was bad I should stay home. What good is a 4wd if you can't depend on it. Jeep is rated off-road. I can't find any help in this matter. All it needs is a change in the command module.

Vehicle cuts power while turning and trying to accelerate at low speeds, such as while driving through an intersection. This has happened multiple times while accelerating from a stop light and making a left/right turn, or pulling out of a driveway into traffic. Symptoms are that the vehicle stops accelerating, loses power and slows to a stop for 5-10 seconds despite having the accelerator pedal consistently pushed. I have been almost hit when this occurs. It possibly has to do with the traction control system turning on inadvertently, since it occurs usually with uneven pavement. Dealership states they cannot find anything wrong with the transmission and have performed several software updates to no avail. This is the fiat 9 speed automatic transmission.

After stopping, the transmission has trouble catching on. The car jolts forward and it doesn't feel safe at all. If I ever bring it up to my dealer or a mechanic, they say it's just a Jeep problem. They have done nothing to fix it. I'm worried there might be a bigger issue with the transmission. I have had several of my friends who also own a Renegade have this problem.

I bought my 2015 Jeep Renegade brand new in September 2015 and began having problems right away. There's a power issue where the car will just shut off and lose power and the key gets stuck in the ignition. I have had it jumped several times just to get it moving again. Took the car to several auto zones to test out the battery just to see if I would get a different response but each confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the battery. It either completely shuts off or stops picking up speed in the middle of busy houston traffic. You can feel when it switch gears sometimes, it makes this hard and loud popping noise when it's trying to switch gears. It's always done that. This usually happens if I'm at a slower driving speed, like turning at a light, and then accelerate to pick up speed, it either makes that loud popping sound, or struggles to pick up speed and eventually stalls and/or lose power. It's real scary. I've been having this problem since I bought it and have had it checked out many times but no one can tell me what's wrong with it. I have been monitoring the recalls and have been seeing numerous cases from people with the same issue I'm having but somehow my VIN isn't associated with any recalls.

Transmission hard shifting into 1st 2nd and 3rd that causes vechile to slow drastically then lunge into gears.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. While driving various speeds, the vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral without warning. The dealer (sheets Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram, 250 auto plaza drive, beckley, wv 25801, (304)-252-4555) was contacted to schedule a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 51,941.

Driving on interstate when Jeep Renegade unexpectedly started to cut off. It felt like it was shaking and shuddering. Got off at exit and vehicle continued to act like it was going to cut off, especially when stopped at a light or stop sign or when making a turn after stopping. Made it home. Turned it off and then back on. Check engine light on. There was no advanced warning lights on the dashboard prior to the Jeep unexpectantly slowing down. There was no burning smell. I had the vehicle towed on Monday, August 20, 2018 to Jeep dealer in lewisburg, wv. They say it could be a week before they are able to look at it and I am without a vehicle. I wanted it taken to a virginia dealer who could look at it sooner but roadside assistance said the wv dealer was closer.
