2015 Jeep Renegade Power Train

MY CAR SHIFTS VERY BADLY WHEN I'M TRYING TO DRIVE FROM A STOPLIGHT OR A COMPLETE STOP. I START TO GO WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN IT SUDDENLY STOPS AND THEN PICKS RIGHT BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS FINE...I ALSO TRY TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC COMING FROM A PARKING LOT AND HAD ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE OF THIS SHIFTING ISSUE TWICE SO FAR BECAUSE I KNOW IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND NORMALLY WAIT TO MAKE SURE NO CARS ARE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO ME AS I TRY AND ENTER TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND RECALLED FOR THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR ALL THE 2015 MODELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL WHINING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN) WHICH SHE LINKED TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS ABLE TO BE MOVED HOWEVER THE GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT TO MATCH THE INTENDED GEAR THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO. THE VEHICLE WOULD DISPLAY THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, HOWEVER, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT TO THE PARK POSITION. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL FOR AN EXTENDED TIME TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PROCEED WITH DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD BETWEEN GEARS. IT WILL STALL THEN LURCH FORWARDS WHEN HITTING THE GAS PEDAL. IT VIBRATES VERY HARD WHILE IDLING (LIKE AT A STOP LIGHT) ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. IT HAS BEEN SERVICED AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THE PUSHED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS HELPED, BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUES FOR A FEW WEEKS (AT MOST). IT IS NOW SCHEDULED TO BE DROPPED OFF AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER EFIRD CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 1711 WEST LUCAS ST, FLORENCE, SC 29501, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V529000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I PARKED MY RENEGADE IN A STORE PARKING AREA, CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND RESTARTED MY CAR. THE CAR LET ME DRIVE 1/4 MILE THEN AT A STOP LIGHT I CHANGED GEARS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO A GEAR, INCLUDING REVERSE. THE CLUTCH PEDAL WORKS. THE CAR WILL MOVE IN LIMBO GEAR SLOWLY IF I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GEAR OR HOW FAST IT WILL GO. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING. I'M GLAD I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NOT WHILE SHIFTING THE GEARS.

STARTING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN HAS TROUBLE GETTING INTO GEAR. IT HAPPENS GETTING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. WHEN I SWITCH FROM THE BREAK PEDDLE TO THE GAS PEDDLE AND GENTLY PRESS ON IT, THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN HAS TROUBLE FINDING THE GEAR. THE HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ALSO. STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, I GENTLY PRESS THE GAS, ONLY TO FIND THAT MY CAR WILL NOT GO. IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT TRIES TO SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR AND IT HAS TROUBLE GETTING THERE. IT HAS HAPPENED 60-70 TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR, BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. I HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS THE FIRST YEAR I GOT THE CAR, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I FEEL LIKE IT'S A SAFETY RISK.

TEMPERATURE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE IDLING. COOLING FAN NOT WORKING AT ALL. FAN FAILED AND FUSE BLOWN.

MY VEHICLE JERKS FORWARD WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THIS ALSO HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I AM DRIVING 30 M.P.H. OR LESS AND TRY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR WILL JERK FORWARD AND BACK, THEN OPERATE NORMAL. MY REPORTED THIS ISSUE WITH MY DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SENT ME OFF. I'VE GONE TO THEM TWICE, AND SIMPLY GAVE UP, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2015. IT'S VERY ANNOYING, BUT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, ALTHOUGH, MANY CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. SAME MODEL YEAR (2015), WE'RE ALL NOT CRAZY, THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 RENEGADE'S TRANSMISSION.

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE AT APPROX 23K MILES IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED SHIFTING HARD. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE KNOW TO DO THAT SO WE DIDN'T PURSUE THE ISSUE! HOWEVER IN JULY 2017 WHEN ON A TRIP TO MARYLAND WHILE CLIMBING MOUNTAINS AND COMING DOWN THEM THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 4TH GEAR. ON THE DOWN SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN WHEN IT WOULDN'T SHIFT WE WOULD HAVE TO PULL TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TRY TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AGAIN AT 70+ MPH. OUR TRANSMISSION ACTED UP MORE THAN 4 TIMES DOING THIS. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO IT AND THEY KEEP STATING THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE LIVE IN INDIANA AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT THE SAME HOWEVER THE HARD SHIFTING OCCURS HERE. WE ARE STILL UNDER ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WARRANTY AT THIS TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE 9 SPEED TRANSMISSION FOR THE 2015 JEEP RENEGADE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE OR ABLE TO BE DONE TO FIX THE ISSUES!

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT MY JEEP INTO PARK. I CAN NOT SHUT IT OFF. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO TO MY JOB. I HAD TO LET IT RUN OUT OF GAS FOR IT TO SHUT OFF. BECAUSE OF THIS I LOST MY JOB. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE MY PAYMENT. PLEASE HELP.

I WAS MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED IT TOOK ABOUT 5SEC FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. IT WAS ALMOST HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC, THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY FROM A STOP AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. THIS WILL CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE KILLED.

WHEN IDLING AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE RADIATOR COOLING FAN CONSTANTLY WOBBLES AND GRINDS AGAINST THE SHROUD.

VEHICLE WAS IN FORWARD MOTION MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. DASHBOARD ALERT CAME ON THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE STOPPED BEFORE IT COULD BE SHIFTED. HAD TO STOP THE VEHICLE, SHIFT TO PARK, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON BEFORE IT WOULD SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE.

HESITATING, ROUGH SHIFTING AND STALLING. WILL HESITATE SO BAD WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, AND GOING INTO 2ND GEAR (9 GEAR TRANS) THAT I'VE BEEN REAR ENDED, IN TRAFFIC, BECAUSE MY CAR HAS ESSENTIALLY STOPPED. ONLY 41,000 MILES. WORST IS WHEN FULLY STOPPED AND ARE ONLY SLIGHTLY ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 15 MPH. SUCH AS IN TRAFFIC, A PARKING LOT, OR TURNING. HAS STALLED IN MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING. WON'T RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINS HAS BEEN TO DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY'VE "FIXED IT" EACH TIME. HAVE FINALLY APPROVED A NEW TRANS

THE TRANSMISSION OF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DOING HARD SHIFTS AND, AT TIMES, NOT SHIFTING AT ALL WHEN THE GAS PETAL IS PRESSED WHICH HAS SUBSEQUENTLY HAS ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE RPM GAUGE ROTATES EXCEEDINGLY HIGH TO THE POINT OF THE FEELING OF STALLING OUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY SHIFTS INTO GEAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN HIGH TRAFFIC, STOP AND GO ROADS SUCH AS CITIES WHERE BREAKING AND ACCELERATING ARE FREQUENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES FINALLY SHIFT INTO GEAR, IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HIT BECAUSE IT LURCHES FORWARD IN SUCH AN EXTREME AND FORCEFUL MANNER. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMPLAINED UPON BY MANY 2015 RENEGADE OWNERS AND UPON BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE, ARE TOLD ITS 'JUST THE WAY THE CAR IS BUILT' OR 'IT'S PERFORMING AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO'. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND INVESTIGATED FOR A SOLUTION BEFORE HARM COMES TO THE OCCUPANTS OR OTHER NEARBY MOTORISTS.

THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, I WOULD PUT THE SHIFTER BACK IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD BANGING NOISE OF SOME SORT. I DEFINITELY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE WHATSOEVER.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, (I HAD SWITCHED THE VEHICLE TO REVERSE AND HAD BEGUN MOVING), MY RENEGADE SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED BACKING UP. I TRIED SWITCHING BACK INTO PARK AND INTO REVERSE AGAIN BUT INSTEAD THE VEHICLE REPEATED THE ISSUE BY GOING INTO NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF REVERSE. I HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE PROPERLY.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD AND JERKS OUT OF THE FIRST 1 TO 2 GEARS.

WHEN DRIVING IF YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY THE RENEGADE WILL ESSENTIALLY IDLE AND HESITATE BEFORE JERKING FORWARD. HAPPENS SPECIFICALLY WHEN HAVING TO CHANGE GEARS. HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT NUMEROUS TIMES.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR YEARS THAT THE CAR JERKS WHEN I CHANGE GEARS OR WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS TO EXCELERATE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. ALSO WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR AND CHANGE GEAR IT JERKS. I CAN FEEL THE JERKS NOT IN MOTION AND WHEN IN MOTION.

1.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. 2.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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE DOWNSHIFTED FROM FIFTH TO FOURTH GEAR THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES INSTEAD SLOWING DOWN.

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

TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTING INTO 1ST 2ND AND 3RD THAT CAUSES VECHILE TO SLOW DRASTICALLY THEN LUNGE INTO GEARS.
