Consumer Description

I LOVE MY RENEGADE BUT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS , FIRST AFTER ONLY HAVING IT FOR A FEW MONTHS BUYING IT DEC 2016 NEW THE FUEL PUMP BROKE AND I RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN IT SAID I HAD A QUARTER TANK. THEN THE DRIVER SEAT BECAME STUCK FORWARD, I THOUGHT I FIXED IT IT WAS FINE NOW IT'S STUCK BACK. I HAVE TO USE A PILLOW BEHIND ME. THEN AT 40,000 MILES JUST ABOUT THE COOLANT FAN STARTED RATTLING AS IF SOMETHING WAS LOOSE, THEN IT STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC I HAD TO BLAST THE HEAT BECAUSE THE TEMP GAUGE WOULD GO RED. I CHECKED THE FUSE IT WAS BLOWN SO IT WAS CHANGED AND STILL NO FAN. SO I FIGURED IT'S THE COOLANT FAN RELAY AND THEY AREN'T EASY TO LOCATE. AUTO PARTS STORE AND JEEP PARTS AT THE DEALERSHIP ARE HARD TO TALK TO BECAUSE IT IS A FIAT PART. YOU WOULD THINK THE 2JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT SELL THEM WOULD KNOW THAT. NOW I SEE THAT A TON OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NEEDED THE FULL FAN ASSEMBLE REPLACED AND A NEW THERMOSTAT..I DO NOT HAVE MONEY FOR THIS. WHY NO RECALL
