Consumer Description

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, CAR HESITATES TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THEN LURCHES/JERKS FORWARD, RUNNING ROUGH FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AS IT FINALLY STARTS MOVING FORWARD. DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC; THE VEHICLE IS IMMOBILE AS IT HESITATES/STALLS! HAS NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN YET BUT HESITATES LONG ENOUGH THAT IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE WERE MORE SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE 2015 RENEGADE. TOOK IN TODAY TO BE SERVICED; 7 FLASH SOFTWARE UPDATES WHICH INCLUDED A TRANSMISSION UPDATE. THE DEALER SAID TO SEE IF IT DRIVES BETTER AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATES. SCARY!
