Software problems of the 2015 Jeep Renegade

I will start this off by saying I've had a few problems with my 2015 Jeep Renegade including a/c problems, power outlets(back seat 110v outlet, cargo outlets & built in flashlight) shutting off after only a few minutes of usage. The blind spot assistance will randomly pop up when driving saying �blind spot assist is temporarily unavailable� the biggest one being what's happening now which is what I'll explain below but to inform you more I'll include that it had 96k when I got the truck and had always kind of had a jerky feel when shifting between gears which I read was kind of normal, so I didn't put much thought into it until now. My truck was sitting in my driveway for 2 days without being moved and when I went to leave the battery was dead. I hadn't left anything on, lights, radio, ect. It had happened a few times before but I didn't think much of it till now. So after I charge the battery long enough to get the vehicle started it finally fires up but all these messages come across the screen: check engine, service transmission, blind spot temporarily out of service, passageway entry unavailable, along with a few more. I give it a minute having the truck running to reset these things their selves and most do except a few. The check engine light was still on along with the biggest problem which is the service transmission warning that has the truck stuck in gear; it won't shift out of park. I tried disconnecting the battery terminals for about 20 minutes seeing if the software will reset that way but it didn't help still has the message on the screen. I eventually had to have it towed to a dealership for repair. They've had it 4 days now and I'm still not sure what the problem diagnosis is but am dreading this major issue.

Vehicle loses all electrical power and stalls intermittently while driving. This happened several times over the last four years of ownership. Not related to extreme temperatures, bumps/vibrations or rain/moisture. Battery was tested and even replaced. It was serviced by dealer the previous episode and was told the software needed updating. Yet here we are again. I have seen other Jeep Renegades with similar issues have a recall for wiring harness. According to mopar this year isn't covered.

Since I have purchased the car it sometimes stops dead in its track as I start to drive. I am usually going slow when this happens. I took it in and was told the software had to be updated and I had a lot of them. Now, the air broke and all of a sudden the car started overheating. I had to pull over and wait for service. I am waiting to hear back what the problem is now. Considering turning the car in.

Approximately one month after purchasing my 2015 Jeep Renegade trailhawk, I began having trouble with the electrical system. The battery has died four times, the key fob(s) work intermittently, the engine has shut off on its own, the clock continuously resets the date/time, and the windows have stopped working once. I have been forced to use Jeep's roadside assistance twice due to dead batteries. This weekend, the heater stopped working and it does not turn on. These continuous problems substantially impairs both the use and value of my car. Additionally, it presents a significant safety concern for my family; winter is upon us and my wife utilizes this vehicle to transport our two children, whom are each under the age of three years old. The thought of them being stranded with no heater due to continuous electrical issues is unnerving. I initially considered this to be an isolated incident; however, I've asked two additional 2015 Jeep Renegade owners if they have encountered any similar instances - both have returned their Renegade to the dealership for servicing due to electrical issues. The dealership informed them the vehicle simply needed a software update. This is not a satisfactory response!.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. While driving 30 mph, there was a strong vibration and the vehicle lunged forward without warning. The contact also stated that the vehicle made a grinding noise when shifting gears. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the computer software program needed to be updated for the engine and transmission. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred several other times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,500.

2 weeks after buying my brand new Renegade, it completely shut off on the freeway & I had to coast over 3 lanes of traffic to the shoulder. Not only did my Jeep leave me stranded, I could have been ran over at 80 miles an hour. Just before shutting down, my car would not shift gears and began to lose speed even though the rpms were hitting the red marks. It was serviced, and given 2 software updates. A week later, the same thing happened. You can push the gas pedal to the floor, but the vehicle does not accelerate, instead it dies, however the rpm's go up as high as they can go but my car won't shift gears. Now it is in the shop (for over a week), supposedly getting a new fuel pump, which I do not think is the ultimate problem. I have read about the 9 speed automatic problems and this is exactly what keeps happening. After putting me in danger twice, I feel certain as soon as I get my new fuel pump and drive home, this will break down again. I have had the Jeep one month, brand new.

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.

Our Jeep Renegade's 6. 5an infotainment system may have corrupted software or a electrical problems. Since owning the vehicle (June 2 ,2015) the “yelp” feature will not load and is not available to utilize as advertised. My u-connect account was listed as “pending” instead of trial/activated. After numerous trips and calls to u-connect with multiple trouble tickets and opened “star case” the radio was replaced on 8/26/2015 but it is now worse than before,. Apps do not work, getting sever error and subscription errors. I now have another open trouble ticket and u-connect doesn’t seem to have an answer. I have been putting up with this for 3 months now and 5-6 trips to the dealer, a replacement radio and a requested buyback. I have an open customer care case. This wasn’t the only electrical problem had 4 attempts to replace a bad key fob, finally after ordering 2 new key fob , is was fixed.

My Jeep Renegade's 6. 5an infotainment system may have corrupted software. Since owning the vehicle, the "yelp" feature will not load and is not available to utilize as advertised. My uconnect account listed in my radio system shows "pending" instead of trial or activated. I am also missing soft key applications such as WI-fi and sometimes uconnect store. I have contacted uconnect access, Jeep, and my dealership countless times over the past 30 days of ownership with no remedy. I have been told to perform soft and factory resets time and time again with no change. Uconnect reps have re-sent data and jar. Files with no luck and no change to my radio system. Dealership does not know what to do and submitted a work tiocket to star reps for assistance. They have not figured out what to do and told me they would contact manufacturers of the radio system for help. 2 weeks later and no word from dealership or star reps. I wish they would try to reload system software or replace my 6. 5an system with new one.
