I purchased this car after owning two wrangler's, a cherokee and a patriot. i noticed right away that my transmission would lunge forward when coming to a stop and the transmission would shift harshly when slowing down in traffic then applying the gas to go, the car also hesitates to take off. i have had many scary situations where i was almost rear-ended many times because of the delay, i also came to a stop at a crosswalk and right when i went to stop the car lunged forward and i hit someone walking in the crosswalk, i was lucky the guy was not hurt, i also had a time where there was a couch in front of me on the freeway and i was not able to avoid it because of a hesitation in the engine where at times i am unable to accelerate right away and this could cause me to get hit if i switch lanes to quickly, i ended up slamming on the breaks and sliding into the counch and contacting 911 to explain what happened. this transmission is defective and all the shops do is reset the transmission and do a software update to the transmission and the tcm and the pcm on the car. the cars door locks will also sometimes beep loud and sometimes beep short like something is wrong and a good portion of the time the car will not lock. i also have a weird vibration coming from the right side of the car and the dealer said that they tested it against a cherokee and it's the same but i have a renegade so i have in writing they tested the wrong model car. this car has had so many issues and i really feel unsafe, i have already taken the car in 5 times and they don't really do anything. i will be taking it in to get my ac knob replaced because it has a sharp edge and i keep getting cut. i don't think being told the harsh shifting is normal is right, i feel like i am driving a manual transmission because of the weird shifts this transmission does.
I purchased my 2017 jeep renegade 4x4 altitude on march 2, 2017. within two weeks before i had 300 miles on the vehicle i experienced what can only be described as power loss in the middle of an intersection during a u-turn. this u-turn was not as accelerated speeds in excess of 10-15 mph, was on dry paved asphalt. i chalked it up for what i was hoping to be a one time offense. however, it has now happened once again on dry paved roads on a clear day. this time i noticed the traction control light went crazy, just blinking away. the renegade rolled a foot or so because i was only going 5 mph during this u-turn when the renegade lost power. after some research it seems the renegade on-board computer must think the jeep is tipping and as a safety precaution cuts power to the vehicle to prevent a rollover. i'm no expert, but i'm pretty positive a vehicle does not tip in the middle of a u-turn, on dry pavement, and going 5 mph. i have a family, a 18 month old and a pregnant wife. i do not feel comfortable putting my family in this brand new vehicle. i don't even feel safe driving this anymore. who knows when it will decide to lose power again and get me or my family severely injured or worse. chrysler needs to do something about this. this was my first impression of the chrysler company...jeep brand. i've never owned one before and am not sure if buying chrysler is safe for my family at this point.
Radio not working in my hew jeep 2016 and my 2017 both of them they go in and out what do i do .
