15 Renegade limited ** a few issues ***first I have had to replace front brakes and rotors 4/27/16 with 9030 miles then had to replace again 9/28/16 with 16611 miles..... second *** when driving my on highway normal speeds my vehicle will randomly act like it is neutral will not accelerate for few seconds then will work fine ( has happened 2 times to me months apart) third*** when making turns on dry roads my stabilitrak light comes on traction control blinks no acceleration happens at random a few times one time I was almost rear ended last incident happened 10/3 520pm... I now again hear noise when braking after driving a few miles it gets more noticeable the longer I drive..I am feeling unsafe driving this vehicle never knowing when these issue will happen next not to mention not being able to afford replacing brakes and rotors a few thousand miles.
When driving and need to make a left turn, the Jeep loses power and the stability control light blinks.. it is a severe safety issue as I have almost been rear ended several times. It is a known issue by Chrysler Fiat but they are doing nothing to fix it as it is in Jeep forums everywhere. I feel it is time for a class action lawsuit, before someone is seriously injured or killed.
The vehicles traction control light comes on during normal driving causing loss of throttle an power making you exit to shoulder or sometimes after 10 sec or so the power will return. Car does not die it just takes throttle control away while traction light flashes. This is all during normal dry conditions and normal driving. I have also seen a huge amount of this same issue on the forums. My vehicle has been in the dealership service department four times and they have no fix yet. It is very unsafe and my wife is afraid to drive her brand new Jeep. It's really ridiculous that we have to deal with all this an no one seems to care until someone gets killed because of the issues. And if this doesn't get corrected someone is going to get hurt or killed in a car accident. This problem occurs on a regular basis but it's hard to recreate on the spot so it's impossible to get the dealer to believe it is happening but if you search the web there is tons of info on this issue.
The stability control light randomly flashes and I lose power to the car. It happens during dry conditions and more frequently when turning. I have almost been in an accident twice because this. It has been occurring for months now and I have taking it to the dealer twice but they say they can't find anything wrong with it. No codes or star cases have been reported but the car it not right. I'm don't feel safe driving it but I am not sure what to do now.
