The headlights were on too long while the engine was off causing a dead battery. no big deal i thought... i jumpstart the car per owners manual instructions (it has a complex battery so even though i've jump started many different vehicles i wanted to make sure there weren't special procedures, it ended up being pretty standard). when it died it was in a garage so i had to manually unlock the gear selector to put the car into neutral to push it into position for a jump connection. i put the car in park and let the battery charge up a while. once the car charged up enough, it started right up. at this point i thought i was in the clear, that's when the service engine light and service transmission light came on. the engine is running fine, transmission was fine before the battery died. not only that, but i could not move the vehicle. it was locked into park. i was blocking the road in my neighborhood while i was manually unlocking the gear selector, i finally get the car to shift into drive and tried to accelerate. only the engine would rev, no movement. try to ...
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
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.
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.
When turning on car all warning lights came on and then each one started flickering one by one. then my transmission light and warning message came on. car would start but locked itself and couldn't shift gears . i tried unlocking it and shifted to reverse it would not accelerate and would get stuck in that gear so had to manually unlock and shift to drive and couldn't accelerate. couldn't turned it off gear shift would lock itself. happened while heading back home. so i took it to the dealership and saw the recall for transmission. they ended up doing something else that i didn't say yes to now they are charging me for it and while my car was getting repaired. they gave me a loaner car, i get in car accident in their loaner car i had insurance but only liability. dealership won't give my car back until i pay in cash a deductible of 2,500 and plus repairs i didn't agree to.
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.
Car will fail sporadically to accelerate while trying to merge into traffic i was almost hit by other vehicles more than once i've talked to others with the same car and all of them described the same exact experience it's only a matter of time before someone is killed.
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.
Transmission hesitates so badly going into second gear that i am constantly almost rear ended, and being screamed at by other motorists, especially in traffic. if you're not at a complete stop, it's not as badr. but forget it if you have to stop for over 3 seconds. traffic and parking lot seems to be the absolute worse (if you're keeping it at 15 mph or under it seems. first they replaced the valve body, then 2 trans mounts, all at a cost to me, before they decided to replace the trans. transmission was supposedly "replaced" under warranty, but has only gotten worse. also, now having engine replaced, because it burns 3 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. less than 50,000 miles on this car.
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.
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!
My garage has a slight incline. when i put the car in reverse, it jerks back and forth until i apply the brakes. also when it shifts into second gear, i feel a slight hesitation and a hear a clunking sound.
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.
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
