My vehicle's passenger tire was improperly mounted by the manufacturer. It has led to the engine mounts becoming worn, causing the camshaft to be worn at only 71,213 miles, and the drive shaft becoming broken. This has been documented by a repair shop and a Jeep dealership service center says that this is the third time that they have seen this issue and attribute it to the tire being improperly mounted by the factory. This is also a known issue documented in videos and online forums. This is a matter of safety and could cause catastrophic failure while driving. The manufacturer has been notified but have not yet acknowledged that this warrants a recall, which it should.

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 told that if it was the transmission, it would be covered under a warranty the Jeep extended, but since this involves 'the brain of the transmission' it is not a covered repair.

I sent 1 service record. I have 3 more if needed. Jeep still is unsafe I was on a busy street at 5pm at a stop light. When I put foot on gas the car would not move then it started out inching away and finally got moving.it took at least 8 or 10 seconds to get passed the green light and the car behind me was way to close and could have been an accident. I have had it looked at 4 or 5 times and all thats been done is updates and replaced a valve body part. I have an attorney and filed suit against Chrysler. This Jeep is not safe to drive and they dont care. They are going to wait til someone dies then they will get on this issue. I dont know why my Jeep was not in the last recall for transmission but it should be, and they should not be allowed to resell this Jeep or the 2015 Renegades period. They are not safe.there are many complaints about this transmission and still no recall. Its been 4 yrs with this Jeep running like its 30 yrs old and I am paying 41000 for it. Do Missouri a favor, get these 9speed transmissions off the road, they are causing major stress and hardships to the owners. The speed in this Jeep is unpredictable. I was on a city street driving at 35 mph and as soon as I was going down a big hill the car sped up way more than the usual down hill speed. They all go a little faster but this was like it was trying to go above 55 and was praying it would stop and it did. But when will the day come that it wont... I will not live to tell if it ever happens. Sad. And all I wanted was a way to get to work, . and all Chrysler cares about is getting paid.

If you have small children do not load them in this Jeep! when accelerating from a dead stop will struggle to get up to speed and sounded like I was rear ended at a high speed. I got out of the Jeep to see if something fell off. Transmission sounds and feels like its slipping. Not every time but it happens so often it has made me feel unsafe and I do not go out of town or long trips over 45 miles away from home.. every time I take it to the shop and ask whats going on they say its how the Jeep Renegade was made, its normal for it to do all this.

While driving the car speed will shift kind of like from neutral to first and so for. While driving on the street and stopping at a stop sign I try to accelerate the car will but it will not accelerate on time and almost produces a crash. While on the turnpike I try to accelerate but it will not accelerate promptly, it feels as if it gets stuck and then it gives a big kick. While at another stop sign on other days, the car does not accelerate and gives a kick and proceeds to move in a slow motion then give another kick and continue to move. It feels as if the shift shifts on their own and acceleration does not respond on time. Another day I was driving with my child in the back seat and I was at a stop sign. It was my turn to go and as I slowly accelerated the vehicle will give a kick and proceed to move slowly. On another instance, I stoped at a red light and when the light turn green I proceeded to move, the car gave another slow kick and eventually decided to accelerate again it does not matter how intense I press on the accelerator it still takes a while for it to respond and avctually starts accelerating. It's been an ongoing problems and am genuinely scared to drive the car for I feel one day it might not accelerate on time on a traffic light or stop sign or on the road. While am parked nd change the shift from parking to drive, the car again gives a quick and then decides to move. It's a scary experience to feel that the car I drive and am.paying for will not accelerate on time while on the road, at a green light, on turnpike while stuck in traffic or while trying to get out of my parking lot.

Hard shifts in the first few gears ( hard jurks) and also clunks.. when moving shifter into and out of park, nuterual, reverse and drive it clunks.. hesitates to shift when stopped or slow moving. When on highway has alot of dragged has hard time keeping speed and when passing it take the vehicle few seconds to speed up, have to push peddle to the floor and after few seconds it finally speeds up. In cruise control its constantly having a hard time keeping its speed constantly jumping into higher gears to catch up to the set cruise setting. Every time I take it to the shop and ask whats going on they say its how the Jeep Renegade was made, its normal for it to do all this.

The transmission is causing safety issues. When accelerating after a very slow crawl or stop, the engine shuts off. No warning lights, no sounds or any indication that its about to shut off. This happens sporadically. Also, when accelerating after a very slow crawl or stop, the vehicle lags and jolts forward. Feels like someone has hit you from behind. No warning lights, no sounds or any indication this is about to happen. This also happens sporadically. There were a few near-accidents due to the vehicle shutting off or lunging in intersections. It has happened on city streets and freeways.it was taken into the dealership to survey. It died in their parking lot twice. They claimed it was the oil, the battery, electronics, or that it was driven awkwardly, etc. They have held the vehicle for over 30days, did software fixes, changed the oil, changed the battery. I also went through the Chrysler dispute resolution. Which was unfavorable to myself due to dealership claiming nothing was wrong. Dealership did not notate true experiences with the vehicle to Chrysler. Vehicle still stalled and lunged thereafter. I refused to drive it due to safety reasons and had dealership buy it back at bluebook value so that I could purchase a safe reliable vehicle. There is a class action suit regarding the transmission. I did not claim into the class action suit because at the time, I was in the process of the dispute resolution.

Jeep is consistently jumping into gear when placed in reverse. Most recently, while at a stop light, with my foot on the break it lung forward! (ungood). While driving, periodically gets stuck in a gear. (?). at least twice, the car has refused to turn over upon ignition engagement. Since I have obtained the Jeep, anything that has to do with the stereo gives me intermittent signals/sound, inclusive of the usb connections etc. (not a good experience). The driver's seatbelt for some reason occasionally will not latch. Something in the undercarriage sounds as if it is going to fall of or break at any time especially when going over bumps or ruff terrain.

Vehicle does not respond properly to gas pedal. Vehicle will get stuck in first gear not shifting to higher gear not letting vehicle accelerate. This occurs on hills and flat ground. Most commonly when making a right hand turn onto street. This has occurred numerous times (daily) since purchase in 2015

When turning or veering at semi-low rates of speed (15-35 mph), traction control light flashes repeatedly and all power to accelerator is lost for about 5-10 seconds. This has repeatedly put me in extremely dangerous situations. Despite taking it to the dealership and finding many others have this same issue, dealer claims nothing is wrong and said problem was fixed after a refresh update for both computer systems. It is definitely not fixed as it happened today and I was almost T-boned in an intersection. Only has 23,120 miles on it and still under Jeep warranty. This began a month after purchase.

When I'm driving my vehicle will not speed up. I press on the gas and it keeps going at the same speed. When I brake it pulls, like if I was repeatedly pressing and letting go of the brakes. The wheels have worn out twice, having had new cars before and driving the same roads and distance I know this is not normal. I have fixed my breaks once wich is unusual for how new this car is and now my breaks are making squeaking noise.

Sometimes when turning the traction control light turns on and the car will not accelerate even when the accelerator is depressed - lasts momentarily then corrects itself

Electronic stability control problem. The traction control randomly turns on and cuts speed while driving. Almost been in 3 accidents because of it. Chrysler is aware of the issue- star case #1608000252 and says engineering is working on the issue but in the meantime want me to drive a car that is putting my life and others at risk.

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

Renegade when in motion going 40mph and encounters a hill/increase in grade, will not shift into next gear. The vehicle is stuck in the lower gear @ 40mph as the engine rev's over 3,000rpm but the vehicle won't accelerate and won't kick-in the higher gear. Have to nearly press the accelerator to the floor to force the vehicle to ramp the RPM's to 4-5,000 to get it to shift into the correct gear. Feels like I'm going to blow the engine when I have to do this but it won't shift into gear. This has been happening consistently for over a month. Called dealership, they said there are several software updates for the Renegade, so try that and see if it fixes the issue. Took to dealership today for 7 software updates.
