NHTSA Complaint #11013012 — 2017 JEEP RENEGADE

ON AT LEAST SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHILE MAKING A SLOW SPEED LEFT TURN (UNDER 15 MPH) AND ONCE WHILE MAKING A LEFT U-TURN (AT APPROX. 5 MPH), MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF POWER AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT FLASHES. THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS CONDITION LASTS APPROXIMATELY 3 - 5 SECONDS. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR-ENDED ME AS MY VEHICLE SLOWED. THE DEALER HAS EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A CONDITION THAT EXCEEDS A PARAMETER SET BY THE SOFTWARE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CODES "SET" BY THESE OCCURRENCES. THEY ARE A BIT UNNERVING AND A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS CONCERN BEGAN WHEN THE JEEP HAD APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I NOW HAVE 6700 AND THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS AUGUST 4, 2017.
