My vehicle will stop going down the road and tell you to shift to park. Then will not crank for several mins after this. This has been happening for several months.took the vehicle into service department and was told they updated the transmission module and here we are several months later with the same issue. This is dangerous and someone could be killed

Cold crank vehicle warms up for about 10 minutes before driving. Then puts gear in reverse and the transmission kicks violently. Shift in to drive accelerate let go of gas pedal and the transmission kicks again to a lower gear. Transmission feels like it take a while to change gears while accelerating

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 Jeep renegade. The contact stated that the transmission downshifted into fourth gear on its own. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle was slow to gain speed and then surged suddenly. The contact also stated that the vehicle hesitated when approaching a stop and while turning in either direction. The vehicle was taken to two dealers: the vehicle was taken to two different dealers: champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (4505 west 96th street, indianapolis, in 46268, (317) 872-6200) and tom o'brien Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram indianapolis (4630 e 96th st, indianapolis, in 46240, (317) 805-4400). The transmission was flushed and diagnostic testing was provided, but the dealers were unable to provide a permanent remedy for the failures. The contact was uncert

While driving in the mountains, a transmission warning light followed by a check engine light flashed on the dash. I figured it was a maintenance warning. The further I drove, it became apparent that I was losing the ability to accelerate. In the mountain range there is no cell service and it was dark as well as fearful drivers would come up behind me on a curve without my ability to go hwy speeds, leaving me to feel very unsafe. The further I drove, the less ability I had to accelerate. By the time I reached the freeway, my ability to accelerate was very compromised. When I reached the freeway, it was congested, playing in my favor since I could not accelerate well. When starting from a stop, the engine was getting up to 2000+ rpms to go 15 MPH. I had it towed to the dealership. I was to

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 Jeep renegade. While the vehicle was parked, it failed to start due to battery failure. The vehicle was jumpstarted, but took several attempts to start. Additionally, while attempting to drive the vehicle, the contact was unable to shift the vehicle from first to second gear, even though the vehicle had a manual transmission. The vehicle was towed to arrigo Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram ft. Pierce (5851 s us highway 1, fort pierce, fl 34982, (855) 709-0687) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was premature wear of the clutch. The contact was also informed that it was considered normal wear. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 32928605. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

My check engine light came on and disabled my 4wd. All it needed was a thermostat. They told me anytime the service engine light comes on it will disable the 4wd. It doesn't matter what turns the check engine light on it will disable the 4wd. I tried going through the dealer, Jeep, Fiat, Chrysler. They told me there was a safety issue and it would disable the 4wd. I told them I bought a Jeep for it's 4wd capabilities. The check engine light should only disable 4wd if it is a drive train problem. They told me if the weather was bad I should stay home. What good is a 4wd if you can't depend on it. Jeep is rated off-road. I can't find any help in this matter. All it needs is a change in the command module.

Returning home on highway christmas day. Car would not accelerate. Was stuck in a low gear. Had to be towed home.

Radiator fan is melting from the heat of the engine. This issue is widespread and there are tons of videos on the internet and complaints? The replacement has a heat shield. Sad I have to pay to have it installed.

The Jeep has been taken to an authorized dealer 3 time for the same problem. The renegade when reaching speeds of approximately 30 miles per hour produces the same sound as running over rumble strips. The sound can get very loud making it difficult to hear what is going on in the surroundings (horn, siren, etc). The authorized Jeep service station has been unable to locate the problem but acknowledges they can hear the sound. This issue has been reported on several Jeep renegade forums, stating the warrantied differential was required to be replaced, they deemed this 'not necessarily the problem'.fca has been informed of this issue and seems to think it poses no safety concern. This is a 9 speed auto transmission.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that after reversing the vehicle, the rearview camera image remained on the display screen while the vehicle was shifted into driving and being driven. After stopping the vehicle, the display screen went blank. The rearview camera later became delayed and failed to display an image immediately while reversing.

The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the rearview camera data had failed. The contact was unaware of the necessary repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

2 weeks after buying my brand new renegade, it completely shut off on the freeway & I had to coast over 3 lanes of traffic to the shoulder. Not only did my Jeep leave me stranded, I could have been ran over at 80 miles an hour. Just before shutting down, my car would not shift gears and began to lose speed even though the rpms were hitting the red marks. It was serviced, and given 2 software updates. A week later, the same thing happened. You can push the gas pedal to the floor, but the vehicle does not accelerate, instead it dies, however the RPM's go up as high as they can go but my car won't shift gears. Now it is in the shop (for over a week), supposedly getting a new fuel pump, which I do not think is the ultimate problem. I have read about the 9 speed automatic problems and

I've had shifting issues with my vehicle for over 1 year now. Vehicle shifts rough and surges unexpectedly and randomly everyday. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership more than 5 times for this issue with no resolution and statements stating they "can't find any problems" with my transmission. My vehicle surges without pressing the gas pedal and adheres my vehicle from braking adequately to the point where I'm nervous it will push me into a stopping car in from of me.

I am contacting you due to due to baxter service rep paul at baxter Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealer refusal to repair recalls for my Jeep renegade. The recalls that generate from my insurance company allstate are indeed recalls my vehicle needs based on performance issues. He informed me that they're not recalls, and when I said allstate made them up, he said 'yeah'! The information for the 4 recalls are from data.gov. The service department at baxter says they are only going to repair the recall (for engine cooling fan) that Chrysler website shows! Please advise &/or assist to resolve this issue! I have reported to the assistant service mgr justin sunquist and bbb as well. Thanks

Setting for automatic turn-on of electric parking brake does not "hold" in the uconnect (radio) settings as set by the consumer. The setting regarding the parking brake turns on by itself, meaning the parking brake can come on by itself when the vehicle is switched off. This is just one of the many settings including cornering lights which changes at the computer's whim. This same uconnect system causes the measurement of miles per hour to change to kilometers per hour randomly, and tire pressure measurement to change from PSI to bars. The amount of time headlights remain-on after engine shut down also randomly changes. The radio/uconnect/"brain" of the car has already had the one update posted by fca installed to prevent hacking which is the only update fca has available. The
