2015 JEEP RENEGADE Electrical System Problems

I purchased in 2015 (Jeep Renegade). The dealership promised a “lifetime warranty” for the duration of my ownership, but despite repeated service visits over the past 10 years for persistent electrical problems, they have refused to honor this warranty. It has come to my recent attention that the two major reasons jeep has stopped making the Renegade was due to electrical and engine issues. Both issues with my car never told to me, and games are being played. Key points: I have complete documentation: purchase receipts, service records, text messages, and emails confirming the warranty and the repeated service attempts. The dealership now claims they have no record of my purchase. I was assured by a service representative that the issues were covered under warranty so I brought it there time and time again. The last time I brought it in the representative was working on it under warranty, but...

When I was driving and stopped at a red light, my Jeep automatically shut off. It had the steering wheel warning and air bag warning pop up. I had a message that told me to put my vehicle in Park when I tried to start it back up. I placed it in park and started up the Jeep again. It came back on, but the warning lights remained on. Once I made it home, I safely turned my vehicle off and then restarted it. Once I restarted it, those warnings were no longer on.

I was driving my vehicle and all of the sudden it just turned off and said vehicle shift to P to select gear, and I kept pressing the gas and it wouldn’t move , I have nothing on my dash no lights or anything.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. There several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was jerking and hesitating while shifting between gears. The contact stated that the battery was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer where several unknown parts were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the vehicle had been inoperable for two months since the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The backup safety camera screen that is also used for the radio and Bluetooth intermittently goes black which disconnects any calls, and doesn’t display the backup safety camera.

In January 2023 and April 2023, a recalled was serviced on. The recall of W80 Oil Consumption Inspection. Was performed twice. So many times I have put the 2015 Jeep Renegade in the service shop countless times. I was in the shop for over a month the oil pressure light comes on every 5 to 30 seconds. I have taken it to another service shop however, they suggest I take it back to the original service shop who original service the Jeep.

Touch screen radio/back up camera screen blacking out and malfunctioning

While driving in a snowstorm, with 4 wheel drive engaged, the vehicle started swerving, and fish tailing. I was in town and going slow(20 mph). The dash flashed some messages, and the default kicked in so front wheel drive resumed and stability also. The main message was ESC-Emergency Stability Control, plus two others. I called a mechanic in the morning, who suggested the computer might reset. I turned the vehicle on, but the message stayed. I decided to go to the mechanic’s shop, but after two left turns I heard a “growling” sound and the computer did reset. It has been okay since.

Car randomly stalls in park, when reversing, when in drive but brake is being applied, or when first accelerating after putting into drive. Several times now it has stalled when I'm at stop lights. One time it stalled after just tapping the brake while approaching a stop light. That was terrifying because the car was still in motion. Also, car randomly jerks hard when shifting gears. Recently, car doesn't want to shift while accelerating up hills, and RPM's can get up to 4.5 or 5. No engine light or other warnings lights ever come on. I have brought it to my mechanic two times now about the hard shifting and stalling.Have another appointment this week. They can't figure out what's causing it. Nor can they replicate the problem. This can happen a few times a day, then go weeks without an issue. I've seen the same problems from dozens of...

2015 Jeep Renegade vehicle's horn stopped working/malfunctioned. The clockspring in the steering column control needs to be replaced, along with a battery transmitter, and an air bag that is in the steering column. A Jeep service confirmed the problem and is ordering parts at this time. The parts cost $1,802.31, not including labor. Not having a horn to use puts myself and others at risk while driving, especially in high-traffic areas. The manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others, have not inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lamps or messages. The horn completing stopped working about three weeks ago.

My vehicle recently started showing warning/service lights for no reason; airbag, power steering, park lights, coolant, check engine etc. My engine would also keeps running even after removing the keys.. My battery would also be dead the next day (new battery) if battery is not disconnected . Power door locks , also stops working via fob and manual. While driving the power steering would also stops working (very dangerous) as this will prevent you from turning and can cause collision. Engine will start but dies after 5 seconds. I have looked online in jeep forums and this problems appears to be related to ignition switch. The problems the car is having is very identical to those renegade owners posted on line. Other renegade owners got the ignition switch replaced and fixed the problem. As of now, there is no recall for this particular issue but should be investigated. I will...

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while leaving his garage, the battery lost power and was completely drained. The vehicle was jumpstarted. The next day, the battery was drained again. The vehicle was jumpstarted again. Additionally, the vehicle failed to shift into park(P). There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer and who provided with unknown recommendations. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

My car turns off at random times while driving. This has happened while going down the highway at high speeds and while turning left into a business and everything in between. I am usually able to start the car after waiting five minutes or so and it may or may not turn off again before I reach my destination. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times for this issue with no resolve. The first time I took my car to the dealership was July 14th, 2021 and they determined it was the battery, that did not solve the issue. On December 29, 2022 I took the vehicle to the dealership and on January 09, 2023 I picked it up. They told me my battery cable was loose, that was not the issue. On January 24 I took it back and on February 7, 2023 I picked it up....

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the parking light was illuminated. The contact stated that the radio randomly turned on and off. The service powertrain and 4WD messages were displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed her that the failure was due to a software module update. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000. The VIN was not available.

Battery went dead, vehicle was jump started as per guide protocol, then vehicle would not shift out of Park. Had to use Emergency towing and release the shift with the shift lever override as described in the manual. Vehicle will now only go into gear with screwdriver, but it still will not recognize it is in gear and will not move. Warning lights of service transmission. Battery changed, vehicle is just sitting, there is NO explanation as to what to do, dealerships have no clue. Vehicle will roll and cause an accident if not propped behind the tires. Through Jeep forum, it is noted that this is an ongoing issue with this specific year/make/model. The "fix" is over $2000, it should be a recall and the manufacturers responsibility since it is a known issue. Jeep USED to be a reliable, dependable brand, unfortunately, this is the last one we will...

I bought a 2015 Jeep Renegade in October of 2021 (last year) and have experienced the vehicle stalling TWICE in the middle of traffic. I was informed of the recall by Carmax after the deal was drawn up and the vehicle delivered to me on October 4, 2021. I took the vehicle to Class Jeep in Arlington, Texas, (see attached documents) who refused to replace the engine of the vehicle – the reason for the Recall. I have done all that I can do and exhausted every means necessary to have the recall completed and the vehicle replaced or repaired to bring up to operating standard. I currently owe $21,000.00 on a vehicle that is non-operable. Carvana delivered the car with a rotted battery (paperwork attached); and, a faulty brake job (where new brakes had been put on top of bad rotors) which they felt $200.00 should cover the cost...

It mostly happens in the morning. While I’m driving to work which is less than 5 minutes away from where I live. The car would just shut down while I’m driving, lights would flicker and the car will stop. I would have to wait a few minutes or more to restart the vehicle and the drives normal. I bought the car from Carmax in May or June 2021. They told me there were no recalls. I look up the problem I’m having and found a previous recall about the same issue, on the same year, make and model. Need help

6/24/21 I backed out of my carport & my car jerked me very hard like something shifted. All error codes & lights came on, air bag (which did not deploy) E Brake light was on, check engine & tire pressure the PRND light up simultaneously & flashed. I turned it off & back on, seemed fine I put in drive & drove in my circle driveway & suddenly it stopped accelerating even with me giving it gas then it took off & the E Brake came on. Thank GOD I was In My driveway & not pulling into traffic when this occurred. My husband tried again when he got home & it did the same to him would go then just stop accelerating mid drive & E brake come along with ALL the flashing error codes & I mean every code it can throw it did. It was like it...

While putting my car in park to exit my vehicle, my emergency parking break activated and would not shut off. I tried resetting the car multiple times. Nothing released the emergency parking break. The car needed to be towed to the dealership where they informed me a "glitch" had happened in the parking system...

Shifter won't work (won't move out of park) after battery dies. My vehicle's battery died at the end of April, we assumed it was just an old battery and had it replaced by AAA. Last week, the battery died again (this also co-occurred with the key fobs not working...if that's helpful). After AAA charged it, we turned it on but it wouldn't shift out of park. We followed the manual instructions to manually shift it into Neutral but then we couldn't turn the vehicle off. Eventually it was towed to the dealership while it was still running...and they said that it needs a new shifter (+$1300)?! The vehicle was purchased new and this series of events (battery dying / shifter dying) seems to be a recurring event....in some cases owners have had it happen in really inopportune and even dangerous places. https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/transmission-wont-shift-into-gear.98673/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/stuck-in-park.103031/ https://www.reddit.com/r/JeepRenegade/comments/gkt6ov/will_not_shift_from_park/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/service-engine-and-service-transmission.73290/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/battery-died-and-it-all-went-bad.46762/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/replaced-battery-now-having-issues.98907/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/battery-died-transmission-won%E2%80%99t-go-into-gear.101187/ My concern...

I PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE ON A MONDAY GOT READY TO GO THE VERY NEXT DAY CAR STARTED BUT WOULDN'T GO IN GEAR AND THE DASH BOARD WAS SAYING SERVICE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THERE WAS NO WARNING ANY TIME BEFORE

SINCE I OWNED THIS JEEP I COMPLAINED AT SERVICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS STRAIN AND WHERE A CHANGE IN GEAR SHOULD NATURALLY HAPPEN, THE ENGINE WOULD WHINE AND WHINE AND THEN EVENTUALLY SHIFT GEARS. I WAS ALWAYS MET WITH SERVICE MEN WITH NO RESPONSE. SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE BURNED CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF OIL, AND I WOULD NEED TO MAKE ADDITIONAL SPECIAL APPT SAND BRING IT IN TO MAKE SURE I HAD OIL IN THE ENGINE?THE CONSOLE ABOVE MY HEAD WHERE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND THE SUNROOF SWITCH IS THERE ARE RED LIGHTS THAT LIGHT UP FROM TIME TO TIME INDICATING WHAT/ AND WHY ARE THEY LIT?

I WILL START THIS OFF BY SAYING I'VE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS WITH MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE INCLUDING A/C PROBLEMS, POWER OUTLETS(BACK SEAT 110V OUTLET, CARGO OUTLETS & BUILT IN FLASHLIGHT) SHUTTING OFF AFTER ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF USAGE. THE BLIND SPOT ASSISTANCE WILL RANDOMLY POP UP WHEN DRIVING SAYING 'BLIND SPOT ASSIST IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE' THE BIGGEST ONE BEING WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW WHICH IS WHAT I'LL EXPLAIN BELOW BUT TO INFORM YOU MORE I'LL INCLUDE THAT IT HAD 96K WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK AND HAD ALWAYS KIND OF HAD A JERKY FEEL WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS WHICH I READ WAS KIND OF NORMAL, SO I DIDN'T PUT MUCH THOUGHT INTO IT UNTIL NOW. MY TRUCK WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT BEING MOVED AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I HADN'T LEFT ANYTHING ON, LIGHTS, RADIO, ECT. IT HAD HAPPENED...

WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND DOES NOT TURN ON AND SEND AN ELECTRIC POWER STERING ALERT THIS HAPPENS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AT A JEEP CERTIFIED DEALER IN FLORIDA AND I HAVE DRIVEN IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT HAS NO PROBLEMS

THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 14K MILES ON IT. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE O2 SENSOR. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER, THE WIRING HARNESS HAS MELTED. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAS BEEN UPDATED INDICATING THERE WAS A DEFECT THAT WAS CORRECTED. HOWEVER NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. WHY NOT IF THE PART WAS UPDATED TO FIX A DEFECT?

I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS TURNED GREEN I PRESSED MY GAS PETAL BUT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN & WOULDN'T MOVE, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP & SO DID MY BRAKE, AIRBAG & PARK LIGHT. I WAS STUCK IN PARK FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AFTER WAITING MY CAR STARTED BACK TO NORMAL, BUT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES.

HORN DOES NOT WORK. THERE IS A BELL LIKE ON A TRICYCLE STRAPPED TO THE STEERING COLUMN. YOU CAN NOT HEAR IT FROM THE OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE.SOMEONE HAS STRAIGHT WIRED IT

WHILE DRIVING A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WHILE STOPPED IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET/ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH OUR VEHICLE AT LEAST 3 TIMES, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING AND TWICE AS WE WERE DRIVING. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT BEING HIT OR INJURED. ONE TIME VEHICLE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED, EVENTUALLY THE CAR WAS JUMPED SUCCESSFULLY, AND DRIVEN TO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF IN AN INTERSECTION. ABOUT 8 HOURS LATER WE JUMPED THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE AGAIN NOTHING CAN BE DETECTED. MANY OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS REPORT THE SAME THING HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS NO THING CAN BE FOUND. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS TO OUR...

VEHICLE VIN: [XXX], JEEP RENEGADE, 57000 MILES I PURCHASED A JEEP RENEGADE FOR MY WIFE AT [XXX] IN KILLEEN. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE DEALERSHIP RAN INTO A VIN ERROR THAT WE WERE TOLD WAS FIXED, BUT IT NEVER WAS BECAUSE WE REMAIN HAVING ISSUES WITH INSURANCE. I WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LOOKED UP NHTSA DOCUMENTATION THAT SAYS THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER UPON FINDING A DISCREPANCY AND APPARENTLY THIS WAS NEVER DONE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD US THE JEEP WAS IN A MINOR ACCIDENT AND WE FOUND OUT THE CRASH WAS WORSE THAN MINOR, THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ONLY ONE KEY FOB. WE WERE PROMISED ANOTHER KEY FOB MADE, BUT HAVE JUST GOT THE RUNAROUND SINCE PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LOCK SOMETIMES AND WE ARE WORRIED IT WILL NOT UNLOCK DURING AN EMERGENCY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY TELLS US THE KEY FOB IS...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 3PM WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE AIR AND THE TEMPERATURE NEVER ADJUSTED. MY COOLANT INDICATOR TURNED FULLY RED. MY CAR STARTED SMOKING AND I PULLED OVER AND POPPED THE HOOD TO SEE MY ANTIFREEZE BOILING OUT OF THE RESERVOIR. I KEPT THE HOOD UP AND WAITED FOR IT TO COOL DOWN.

I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT FOR OVER 2 YRS. THEY CHARGE ME FOR THINGS THAT THEY SAY ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I PAY BUT CAR CONTINUES THE SAME AS I BROUGHT IT IN.

VEHICLE LOSES PERMANENT POWER TO COMPUTER THAT POWERS TRANSMISSION AND KNOCKED OUT COMPUTER AND THE TRANSMISSION FROM SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND PARK TO DRIVE RENDERING THE CAR TOTALLY DISABLED WITHOUT DEALERSHIP INTERVENTION DO TO BAD CONNECTION ON THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. THIS LEFT THE CAR UNMOVABLE FROM TRAVEL LANE TO SIDE OF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITHOUT A TOW TRUCK BEING SUMMONED. AT TIME OF INCIDENT VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT TO NEUTRAL FOR REMOVAL FROM HIGHWAY TO SAFETY AND PLACED EVERYONE IN DANGER OF HIGH SPEED COLLISION FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME THAT VEHICLE REMAINED LOCKED DOWN IN HIGH CAPACITY, HIGH SPEED LANE OF TRAVEL. *TR

STEREO/INFOTAINMENT CENTER SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE VEHICLE IS ON. WHEN BLUETOOTH IS IN USE WHILE DRIVING, RADIO TURNS ON WHEN CAR IS OFF AND CALL IS ENDED. *TR

THE FRONT LEFT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BULB TITS WERE MELTED DOWN THE DEALER SAID I HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE RELATED WIRE SYSTEM. (DAYLIGHT RUNNING AND TURN SIGNAL) THIS MELTING ON THE BULB IS ABNORMAL. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD.

VEHICLE LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. NOT RELATED TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES, BUMPS/VIBRATIONS OR RAIN/MOISTURE. BATTERY WAS TESTED AND EVEN REPLACED. IT WAS SERVICED BY DEALER THE PREVIOUS EPISODE AND WAS TOLD THE SOFTWARE NEEDED UPDATING. YET HERE WE ARE AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN OTHER JEEP RENEGADES WITH SIMILAR ISSUES HAVE A RECALL FOR WIRING HARNESS. ACCORDING TO MOPAR THIS YEAR ISN'T COVERED.

IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS MY JEEP HAS STALLED THREE TIMES. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR EASILY AND THEN START DRIVING ONCE I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP SIGN OR TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH OFF TO THE SIDE OF THOSE QUICKLY TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY. BUT IN ANOTHER I WAS IMPEATING TRAFFIC AND IT WAS VERY UNSAFE. I'VE HAD DIFFICULTY IN JUMPSTARTING THE ENGINE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE.I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND CHECKING THE REST OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH SEEMS FINE BUT THIS ISSUE KEEPS COMING UP AND THE CAR KEEPS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

I HAVE A HARD TIME PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR THOUGH IT WAS THE PUMP BUT IT'S EVERYWHERE I GO AND IT EATS UP A LOT OF GAS. THE ELECTRICAL MESSED UP SOMETIMES IT WON'T START I GOT A NEW BATTERY AND EVERYTHING BUT THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID IT HAS TO BE ELECTRICAL MY KEYS NEVER WORK I HAVE TO MANUALLY USE KEY AND LOCK THE DOOR FROM INSIDE MY GEARS THE ENGINE IDEALS HIGH AND CAR JERKS SOMETIMES WHEN I'M TAKING OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE BATTERY WAS CHARGED AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS STILL PENDING. JIM CLICK JEEP LOCATED AT 701 W AUTO MALL DR, TUCSON, AZ 85705, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS WILL START TO SURGE THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK OUT OF MY HANDS PREVENTING ME FROM TURNING THE WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION (LOCKS UP). IF I DON'T IMMEDIATELY PARK THE CAR, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF ON THEN A BUNCH OF WARNINGS WILL POP UP ON THE DASHBOARD THEN DYNAMIC POWER STEERING WARNING WITH FLASH. I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES AT LEAST BEFORE BEING ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT RED LIGHTS, TURNING INTO TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 75MPH AND/OR 30MPH.

THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON TOO LONG WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. NO BIG DEAL I THOUGHT... I JUMPSTART THE CAR PER OWNERS MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS (IT HAS A COMPLEX BATTERY SO EVEN THOUGH I'VE JUMP STARTED MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WEREN'T SPECIAL PROCEDURES, IT ENDED UP BEING PRETTY STANDARD). WHEN IT DIED IT WAS IN A GARAGE SO I HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE GEAR SELECTOR TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT INTO POSITION FOR A JUMP CONNECTION. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND LET THE BATTERY CHARGE UP A WHILE. ONCE THE CAR CHARGED UP ENOUGH, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. AT THIS POINT I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE CLEAR, THAT'S WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING FINE, TRANSMISSION WAS FINE BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED. NOT ONLY THAT,...

THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP TURN MY CAR OFF PUMP THE GAS AND THEN RESTART. THE FIRST THREE MONTH OF THE PURCHASE I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WOULDN'T NOT START AGAIN NO MATTER HOW LONG IT WAS BEING JUMPED OFF . I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK WHO USED SPECIAL JUMP BOX AND HE STILL COULDN'T GET IT TO CRANK. NOW HERE IT IS A LESS THAN A YEAR LATER AND THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT RANDOM TIMES. IT FINALLY DOES START AGAIN AND THEN THROWS COMPUTER ERRORS. IT HAS ALSO SHUT DOWN NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SOME OF THESE INSTANCES WERE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND OTHERS WERE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

WHEN TURNING ON CAR ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN EACH ONE STARTED FLICKERING ONE BY ONE. THEN MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON. CAR WOULD START BUT LOCKED ITSELF AND COULDN'T SHIFT GEARS . I TRIED UNLOCKING IT AND SHIFTED TO REVERSE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD GET STUCK IN THAT GEAR SO HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK AND SHIFT TO DRIVE AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE. COULDN'T TURNED IT OFF GEAR SHIFT WOULD LOCK ITSELF. HAPPENED WHILE HEADING BACK HOME. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAW THE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION. THEY ENDED UP DOING SOMETHING ELSE THAT I DIDN'T SAY YES TO NOW THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR IT AND WHILE MY CAR WAS GETTING REPAIRED. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR, I GET IN CAR ACCIDENT IN THEIR LOANER CAR I HAD INSURANCE BUT ONLY LIABILITY. DEALERSHIP WON'T GIVE MY CAR BACK UNTIL...

I LIVE OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN HOUSTON, TX. I FEEL I PLAY A GAME OF CHICKEN EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO TURN OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN MY JEEP RENEGADE. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES, THE ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON. A HOST OF NEW ELECTRICAL MESSAGES MAY OR MANY NOT POP UP. I HAVE HAD LIGHTS STOP AND START WORKING. THE CAR CUT OFF WHEN MAKING A TURN AS THE CAR IS BURNING INSANE AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT IS NOT THE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE I HAD HOPED FOR. I UNDERSTAND SOME ISSUES HOWEVER THERE APPEARS TO BE A NEW ONE ALMOST WEEKLY. I HAVE HIRED A LAWYER TO INVESTIGATE MY CASE S THIS THE ABSOLUTE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE CAR JERKS LIKE SOMEONE IS SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF YOU WHEN GOING 15 MPH OR LESS. IT LOSES POWER AND HESITATES ON TAKEOFF. THE CAR...
