NHTSA Complaint #11321977 — 2015 JEEP RENEGADE

I BOUGHT MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS RIGHT AWAY. THERE'S A POWER ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF AND LOSE POWER AND THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE HAD IT JUMPED SEVERAL TIMES JUST TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO SEVERAL AUTO ZONES TO TEST OUT THE BATTERY JUST TO SEE IF I WOULD GET A DIFFERENT RESPONSE BUT EACH CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY. IT EITHER COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF OR STOPS PICKING UP SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY HOUSTON TRAFFIC. YOU CAN FEEL WHEN IT SWITCH GEARS SOMETIMES, IT MAKES THIS HARD AND LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN IT'S TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS. IT'S ALWAYS DONE THAT. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS IF I'M AT A SLOWER DRIVING SPEED, LIKE TURNING AT A LIGHT, AND THEN ACCELERATE TO PICK UP SPEED, IT EITHER MAKES THAT LOUD POPPING SOUND, OR STRUGGLES TO PICK UP SPEED AND EVENTUALLY STALLS AND/OR LOSE POWER. IT'S REAL SCARY. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT MANY TIMES BUT NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE RECALLS AND HAVE BEEN SEEING NUMEROUS CASES FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING BUT SOMEHOW MY VIN ISN'T ASSOCIATED WITH ANY RECALLS.
