NHTSA Complaint #10904244 — 2015 JEEP RENEGADE

THE VEHICLES TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON DURING NORMAL DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF THROTTLE AN POWER MAKING YOU EXIT TO SHOULDER OR SOMETIMES AFTER 10 SEC OR SO THE POWER WILL RETURN. CAR DOES NOT DIE IT JUST TAKES THROTTLE CONTROL AWAY WHILE TRACTION LIGHT FLASHES. THIS IS ALL DURING NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS AND NORMAL DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO SEEN A HUGE AMOUNT OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE FORUMS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUR TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO FIX YET. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE HER BRAND NEW JEEP. IT'S REALLY RIDICULOUS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS AN NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES. AND IF THIS DOESN'T GET CORRECTED SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON A REGULAR BASIS BUT IT'S HARD TO RECREATE ON THE SPOT SO IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE DEALER TO BELIEVE IT IS HAPPENING BUT IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB THERE IS TONS OF INFO ON THIS ISSUE.
