Consumer Description

RENEGADE WHEN IN MOTION GOING 40MPH AND ENCOUNTERS A HILL/INCREASE IN GRADE, WILL NOT SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR. THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN THE LOWER GEAR @ 40MPH AS THE ENGINE REV'S OVER 3,000RPM BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE AND WON'T KICK-IN THE HIGHER GEAR. HAVE TO NEARLY PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO FORCE THE VEHICLE TO RAMP THE RPM'S TO 4-5,000 TO GET IT TO SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. FEELS LIKE I'M GOING TO BLOW THE ENGINE WHEN I HAVE TO DO THIS BUT IT WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR OVER A MONTH. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THERE ARE SEVERAL SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE RENEGADE, SO TRY THAT AND SEE IF IT FIXES THE ISSUE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR 7 SOFTWARE UPDATES.
