While in park and the parking brake engaged, I then went to disengage my automatic parking brake, received a service automatic parking brake system and my brakes would not disengage. I could not move my car. After research this is a common problem with the automatic braking system. I could have been in a very dire situation where I needed to move my vehicle and I could not. It was very scary. I then had my car towed to the Jeep dealership on September 23, 2023 and they have yet to diagnose the issue. I did speak with a mechanic and he stated he has known of the issues and he thought there may be a recall issued. I can not find a recall but am in hopes that there will be one issued. As this is very unsafe especially if you’re in a situation where you need to get out of.

Constant engine stalling at highway speeds and normal speeds causing all engine power to cease in my vehicle leaving it to the mercy of my brakes which lock up upon power loss and makes it extremely difficult to stop. Brought vehicle to dealership multiple times just to be told that they could not duplicate the problem. It continues to happed and I have already had one small collision and have almost been forced off of a cliff 2 times since these problems have started.

Brakes have been screeching when I slow down to make a turn on residential road. But when I have the breaks checked I'm told they are fine. Also rhe passenger side small yellow light keeps goubf in and out. I brought it to the dealership a few months ago but the light came back on.

I purchased this vehicle March 2020 and was told that it was new ("a left over"). We thought it was used as a demo by sales. As soon as I got it the brakes started to grind. The salesperson told us after signing all paperwork that sometimes the emergency light comes on while driving. There is something with the rotors and ig burton in symnra, delaware advised without proper repair it was safe to drive several times. Now without touching any controls the miles changed to km and the heating system changed as well. When traveling down the road we noted the brakes and with the mileage I saw it as soon as I started it up.

Every so miles the electronic braking system comes on while driving and tells me to service brakes now. This started when the car only had 100 miles on it and continues to at 4500 miles. Talked to dealer ship and they will do nothing about it.

I was on a two lane highway on a straightaway with cruise control set at 70 miles per hour. With out warning my car turned to the right off of the highway and did not brake. I hit an embankment at full speed and rolled. I was not impaired nor did I fall asleep; however, due to injuries I sustained in the accident I have no recollection of the events causing me to leave the road. The vehicle did not skid or swerve and drove to the right until it started rolling. This vehicle should be investigated to discover possible reasons for it suddenly pulling right without brakes. Thankfully, the safety features of this vehicle saved my life, by all accounts they were expecting a fatality. I walked away with my life. I just want to know what caused this Jeep Renegade trailhawk 4x4 to suddenly turn right and not slow down as I know I would not have left the road in that manner for no reason and certainly would have been standing on the brakes and pulling to the left to avoid the embankment. I have full confidence in the Jeep brand and know that regardless of the cause of my accident, the safety features of this vehicle are amazing!.

Renegade manual transmission. Electronic parking break has issues disengaging. Shows it's turned off but after traveling a little while the light comes back on. I'd you want to take it to the dealer for diagnostics they charge you for inspection. If there's something wrong with the breaks that isn't covered by warranty you have to pay out of pocket. Come on Chrysler. . . Really my new car may need brakes at 6700 miles. What's that say about the quality of you product?.
