The Renegade touch screen radio that is used for all controls including seat warmers, climate control, rear back up camera, gps ect has had many cases of the factory issued radio screens delaminating causing it to make SOS emergency calls and switching through different touch screen controls due to the delamination of the radio screen at no fault of our own … Tolers Jeep in Morehead City NC has confirmed they have had to replace many radios due to this issue but hasn’t issued any recall for this safety issue on this model… I have now had to resort to keeping the radio turned off to avoid unwanted SOS calls to the local police department and malfunction of the touch screen controls
THE FRONT SEATS HAVE WORN AND HAVE LITTLE PULLS IN THEM. THEY LOOK LIKE THE SEATS ARE MANY YEARS OLD AND LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN WASHED AND HAVE FUZZ ON THEM. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK PICTURES AND SENT TO CHRYSLER AND SAID THEY TOLD THEM MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT BUT THEY WOULDN'T FIX THEM. TOLD ME THAT IT LOOKED WORN FROM A FOREIGN OBJECT MOVING ACROSS THE SEAT. THIS WAS 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. THEY DRILLED A HOLE IN MY ARM REST TO MOUNT THE CAMERA TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE SEAT AND SAID THEY DRILLED IT A LITTLE TO BIG AND SORRY, DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HOW TO FIX IT OR ANYTHING. THAT'S NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH IT BUT I'LL FILE THOSE COMPLAINTS SEPARATE.
THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT CONTROLS ALMOST ALL FUNCTIONS IN THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING EVERY SETTING IT CONTROLS WILL RANDOMLY AND SUDDENLY SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT SETTING. YOU CAN NOT OVER RIDE IT'S RANDOM SWITCHING, EVEN BY TURNING IT OFF. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER HAS SAID THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE. IF YOU DID TRY TO DRIVE A LARGE NUMBER OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL AND SOFTWARE SETTINGS ARE SWITCHING AS YOU DRIVE. IMAGE DRIVING DOWN HERE IN 95/95 FLORIDA (TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY) WHILE THE CAR IS TURNING ON THE HEAT FULL BLAST AND THE SEAT HEATER FULL BLAST, RESETTING WAYPOINTS, AND INSTRUCTING THE DRIVER TO TURN SOMEWHERE AND WATCH OUT FOR A UPCOMING COLLISION. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR AN ESTIMATED 3 MONTH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY....
I PURCHASED A 2018 RENEGADE ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. WITHIN A WEEK OF THAT PROBLO BEGAN WITH REMOTE STARTER THAT HAD BEEN ADDED PRIOR TO PURCHASE THAT WOULD UNLOCK ALL THE DOORS WHENEVER VEHICLE WAS STARTED USING REMOTE STARTER. I WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AS THAT VEHICLE HAD ISSUES FROM DAY ONE AND DEALER COULDN'T FIX THEM. NO OFFER FROM DEALERSHIP TO ALLOW ME TO RETURN IT. SO OUT OF FRUSTRATION I TRADED IT IN FOR A MUCH HIGHER COST VEHICLE IN HOPES THE ISSUES WOULD BE GONE WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE OF A HIGHER PRICE AND PACKAGE. NOT SO! FROM THE FIRST DAY ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I STARTED EXPERIENCING SERIOUS PROBLEMS. EVERYTIME I USE THE REMOTE STARTER THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHETHER I TOUCH THE DOOR HANDLE, UNLOCK VEHICLE WITH REMOTE, OPEN DOOR OR ENTER VEHICLE IF THE FIRST THREE METHODS DIDN'T SHUT IT DOWN. IN ADDITION THE...
