I was driving on the freeway and my car started losing power then started jerking and shaking the car. I couldn't speed up, I could hear the engine revving up but nothing. I had to pull over and turn off car and start back up, I still couldn't hit 60mph I the freeway so I got off the freeway and took the streets home. When running the car under 30mph the car was fine but once I hit the higher gears my car would shake or just down shift on its on.

"power transmission" in July of 2018 in rush hour in las vegas (5pm-5:30pm) while vehicle was in motion and foot was on the accelerator the 2016 Jeep Renegade powered off & shut down. Had to turn off the vehicle and restart for the vehicle to start up again. This happened on a very busy street road. In August of 2018 in rush hour in las vegas (4:30pm-5:30pm) while vehicle was in motion and foot was on the accelerator the 2016 Jeep Renegade powered off & shut down. Had to turn off the vehicle and restart for the vehicle to start up again. This occurred on a slightly busy street road. This happened twice. Both times I was very lucky I wasn't killed with oncoming traffic. Car was examined at and it was determined that the transmission was at fault and needed to be changed. This process took a month. I was reluctantly given a loaner car with a few case managers saying it was a favor of Chrysler to be allowing me to have this loaner car. Not understanding how dangerous this car was. How my life was at stake. It's now April 2019 and the same signs I experienced with the dying transmission last year are happening again. Every time I turn on my air conditioner my car starts to act shaky. A strange smell gets emitted, and the shifting of the gears slows down. Every time I park my car on an incline and I use my emergency breaks @ my driveway my cars breaks are slow to respond.

Vehicle jerked hard and immediately lost propulsion while driving 73 mph on interstate. Was able to coast to a stop at a rest area, engine light came on, car shut off. Would restart for a few seconds and die again. When trying to start it a message showed up saying to stop the car when shifting gears, the car was in park and not moving. Parking brake light came on without applying it, took several attempts to get it to go off. Roadside assistance had it towed to closest Jeep dealership. Car started for them the next day and they said no codes showed up and that the car stopped because it was low on oil and 200 miles past time for an oil change. Said this was a feature of the car -if it was low on oil it would just die so it couldn't be damaged by driving it with low, or no, oil, and that no warning light would come on. They changed the oil, pronounced it fixed and I got it back. 3 days later I was driving home on a hilly, windy, 2-lane road, 25 mph, the car again lost propulsion, this time without jerking first. I was able to coast downhill to a wide spot in the road and stop. When the engine light came on and a "service engine" message appeared. Called my husband, when he got there we restarted the car and it was shaking like crazy and sounded like a bunch of heavy metal objects were being tumbled in a metal drum. Called roadside assistance and the car was towed to the same dealer as before. After 2 days they called me and said that it needed an engine wiring harness, cam shaft sensor, crank shaft and spark plugs, plus the diagnostic check. Wanted me to pay for the work. Called my extended warranty company, they said it had to be towed to the dealership where it was purchased since it was less than 40 miles away, so it was towed there. Still waiting to hear from original dealership as to what they think the problem is, today is the 4th day they've had the car.

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.
