Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR LOST POWER, OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME OFF, LOST POWER STEERING, CAR SHUT DOWN. WOULDN'T START. CHECKED OIL, CALLED TOW TRUCK. I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR BACK TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD WHILE MY HUSBAND BACKED IT UP TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD. TOW TRUCK GOT THERE, PUT CAN IN NEUTRAL, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF, CAR WOULDN'T TURN OFF EMERGENCY BRAKE, PUSHED IT 20 OR SO TIMES, EMERGENCY BRAKE FINALLY TURNED OFF SO WE COULD BACK UP THE CAR SO THE TOW TRUCK COULD GET IT FRONT OF IT TO TOW. CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND IT IS DANGEROUSLY UNSAFE. THE CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY THIS SUMMER FOR WEEKS FOR ELECTRICAL LIGHTS GOING OFF AND THE CAR CONTINUING TO RUN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE JEEP RENEGADES NEED TO BE TOOK OFF THE ROAD.
