2016 Jeep Renegade Power Train

VEHICLE LOSES POWER DURING TURNING OPERATIONS. WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR A RIGHT TURN ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. WHEN I INITIALLY TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER THE ISSUE WAS ONLY OCCURRING DURING LEFT TURNS. DEALER DID A PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE AND NOW THE PROBLEM OCCURS DURING RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS. I HAVE COME DISTURBING CLOSE TO BEING HIT WHILE LOSING POWER MID TURN. I AND OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. CAR WAS BRAND NEW WHEN PROBLEM STARTED. *TR

WHEN COLD THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH AND THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO HESITATE AND LURCH FORWARD AND IN SOME INSTANCES THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ENTER TRAFFIC CAUSING SEVERAL NEAR MISSES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES NOT JUST THE DATE ENTERED BELOW.

I HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 3 WEEKS, BRAND NEW, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALL TESTS WERE PERFORMED AND THE FINAL SOLUTION AFTER ONE FULL WEEK OF TESTING IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS 700 MILES ON IT. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED DRIVING A BRAND NEW CAR WITH MY KIDS IN IT THAT REPLACING A TRANSMISSION IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP.

VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. DRIVER TOOK FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FROM DEAD STOP AND THE RENEGADE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. THE INSTURMENT PANEL FLASHED AND FLICKERED VARIOUS TROUBLE INDICATIONS AND THEN STOPPED WITH THE MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE.
