NHTSA Complaint #11112514 — 2017 JEEP RENEGADE

TAKATA RECALL. WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN MY JEEP SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS. IT THEN PROCEEDED TO HAVE SURGES. NO LIGHTS CAME ON. IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF BUT WAS STILL ON. A ERROR CAME ON STATING TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION. TOOK TO A DEALERSHIP THAT SAID IT WAS NEEDING AN UPDATE WITH THE COMPUTER. WENT 340 MORE MILES THE NEXT DAY AND IT DONE THE EXACT SAME THING. LOST ALL POWER STEERING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. GOT TOWED AND THEY TOLD ME NO CODES CAME UP WHILE PLUGGED INTO THE COMPUTER. WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND WOULD BE A TWO WEEK WAIT. WAS TOLD IT'S BEEN A VERY COMMON THING WITH THE 2017 RENEGADES SO THEY'RE BACK ORDERED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP THE DAY BEFORE BYPASSED SOMETHING TO SEND ME ON MY WAY. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY AREN'T HELPING AT ALL. AND I'M STILL 480 MILES FROM MY HOME. THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL ON THEM. IT WILL END UP GETTING SOMEONE KILLED.
