One problem related to transmission gear indicator has been reported for the 2015 Jeep Renegade. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The vehicle was at a complete stop but still in drive. I pushed on the gas pedal and the engine reved as if it was in neutral and the car would not move forward. A message popped up that said please select a gear and that the car was not in gear and the lights flashed on the shifter. I shifted to neutral and back to drive and the engine reved again with no movement still. I pushed the 4 wheel dive button on and off and finally shifted into park and shut the engine off because I didn't know what else to try. I restarted the car and shifted it into drive and I was able to move again. I brought the car home and parked it out of fear that this would happen again in traffic. I took my car to the dealer and they say they can't duplicate the problem. I looked up transmission recalls and found s55, a transmission recalled that described exactly my problem. I called Chrysler and they said while my car has the troublesome 9 speed transmission, that some ratio was set at 3. 7 so that recall doesn't affect my vehicle. Clearly this does affect my vehicle because my son and I experienced it. What do I do if this happens again??!! I now know to take video to prove this is a problem but my son drives this car to school, will he be safe?.
