Consumer Description

BESIDES THE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES, ETC. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS NEW 2015 RENEGADE, I AM NOW ON 55,000 MILES AND THE MOTOR FAN IS GOING OUT. WHEN THE FAN COMES ON YOU CAN HEAR THE BEARING GRINDING WHICH PROGRESSIVELY HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. MY BEST FRIEND BOUGHT THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND HER FAN JUST WENT OUT LEAVING THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND HER STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT'S NOT LIKE JEEP IS NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE THERE ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE BOARDS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON HOW TO REPLACE THE FAN IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE $600+ TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP DO IT IF YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. I AM JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY HUSBAND JUST HAD BYPASS HEART SURGERY SO OUR PLANS TO HAVE HIM REPLACE IT ARE OUT AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED WITH HIS MEDICAL EMERGENCY SO IT IS PARKED AS I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND CAN'T AFFORD FOR IT TO STRAND ME ON THE ROADWAY. THIS IS MY 3RD AND LAST JEEP. IT HAS BEEN A PIECE OF CRAP.
