Consumer Description

SO, I HAVE HAD MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE SPORT FRONT WHEEL DRIVE FOR ALMOST 3 1/2 YEARS. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE JERKING OF THE SHIFTING OF MY CAR WHEN I DRIVE, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE SUMMER OF 2017, I BOUGHT MY RENEGADE NEW FEBRUARY 2016. WINTER 2017 IT STARTED REVVING TOO HIGH WHEN STOPPED AT THE STOPLIGHTS OR AT A STOP SIGN. THEN AT THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2018 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON AND I TOOK IT RIGHT AWAY TO AUTO ZONE SO THEY CAN RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT MY THERMOSTAT WENT OUT, MY CAR JUST ROLLED OVER 38,000 MILES, MY WARRANTY WAS UP AT 36,000, I HAD TO SHELL OUT OVER $500 TO REPLACE THAT, I'M GLAD I DID BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST IN THE QUAD CITY AREA ON THE ILLINOIS SIDE AND OUR COLDEST DAY WAS 55 BELOW 0. THEN JUST TODAY, JUNE 1ST, 2019 MY RADIATOR COOLING FAN MOTOR WENT OUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN. I WAS AT SAM'S CLUB, TURNED MY CAR ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AGAIN AND IT STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND AGAIN MADE MY WAY OVER TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AGAIN AND AS SOON AS I GOT IN MY CAR MY AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT AND CALLED MY MOM AND TOLD HER WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, CALLED MY DAD, THEN IT STARTED TO COMPLETELY OVERHEAT AND THE WARNING POPPED UP AND I CALLED MY DAD AND MY OLDER BROTHER TOOK THE PHONE AND TOLD ME TO TURN THE HEATER ON IN MY CAR TO DRAW HEAT AWAY, IT WORKED AND I MADE IT HOME TO PORT BYRON, IL WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OVER BECAUSE MY BROTHER TOLD ME TO TURN THE HEATER ON AND ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN AND LOTS OF PRAYER HELPED GET ME HOME SAFELY.
