2015 Jeep Renegade driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 29 of 29, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving my vehicle when I was getting notifications on my dashboard of different things from torque to transmission. The vehicle then suddenly stalled while I was in the middle of the road. I was at a red light thankfully. I turned my vehicle off/on, then as put the vehicle in drive, I could hear a loud bang and then I drove into a parking lot.
For the fourth time I took my car to the service at the dealer , and for the fourth time the same problem occurred received a 'service power steering' dashboard message....and the vehicle has no power steering. I have 20,000 miles on my vehicle. After I leave the car for two month in the dealer finally they call me and said my car was reedy as today march 2018 but continues with the same problem . I am of course concerned that my power steering could fail while I am driving the vehicle could cause serious accident. This happen one time already, I'm very frustrate I don't know what to do this point. If some could help me or indicate what to do thanks. Same problem here- except total loss of steering while on highway. Numerous electrical issues, 7 total since 2016, 16 days and counting in service bay and not driveable. This car is a nightmare. Dealer service they don't know how to service
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.
Takata recall there are multiple electrical problems occurring with the vehicle, along with mechanical problems and the car is used to commute to work and home. These issues have never occurred with any other new car we have purchased from a lot. I feel unsafe driving the car with my family unsure of what other problem may occur.
When transitioning from a stop into traffic on a dirt or slippery road the traction control warning lights come on but the car sends no power to the any of the 4 wheels. It just stops. In order to go you have to take your foot off the gas and try again to move. Extremely dangerous when pulling into traffic.
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
Seeing loss of power loud muffler and undercarriage. Random indicators such as change oil, power locks and doors, 4x4 not working. Heat at 75 degrees blows cold air.
The accident avoidance system will show up on the dash screen as temporarily disabled while driving down the street.
2nd occurrence of all the sensor lights coming on and engine simply stopping. Both times, the vehicle had been braked and was ready to accelerate when all the lights on the dash and gear shift began to flash. The first occurrence all the lights flashed and halted before it could completely cross the highway. The dealership applied all updates to the computer keeping the car overnight. The second occurrence vehicle was just towed to the dealer as unfit to drive. After resting, only the check engine light came on. Will know more after auto is checked.
I've had shifting issues with my vehicle for over 1 year now. Vehicle shifts rough and surges unexpectedly and randomly everyday. I have taken my vehicle to the dealership more than 5 times for this issue with no resolution and statements stating they "can't find any problems" with my transmission. My vehicle surges without pressing the gas pedal and adheres my vehicle from braking adequately to the point where I'm nervous it will push me into a stopping car in from of me.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 jeep renegade. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate and make right or left turns, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact also stated that the traction control warning light illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to diagnose or produce a fault code for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,500. ...updated 01/23/17 *bf updated 7/12/18
15 renegade limited ** a few issues ***first I have had to replace front brakes and rotors 4/27/16 with 9030 miles then had to replace again 9/28/16 with 16611 miles ..... Second *** when driving my on highway normal speeds my vehicle will randomly act like it is neutral will not accelerate for few seconds then will work fine ( has happened 2 times to me months apart) third*** when making turns on dry roads my stabilitrak light comes on traction control blinks no acceleration happens at random a few times one time I was almost rear ended last incident happened 10/3 520pm ... I now again hear noise when braking after driving a few miles it gets more noticeable the longer I drive ..I am feeling unsafe driving this vehicle never knowing when these issue will happen next not to mention not being able to afford replacing brakes and rotors a few thousand miles.
When driving and need to make a left turn, the jeep loses power and the stability control light blinks.. It is a severe safety issue as I have almost been rear ended several times. It is a known issue by chrysler fiat but they are doing nothing to fix it as it is in jeep forums everywhere. I feel it is time for a class action lawsuit, before someone is seriously injured or killed.
Vehicle stalls and breaks lock while driving. 4wd lock turns on without engagement and car has to be restarted.
The vehicles traction control light comes on during normal driving causing loss of throttle an power making you exit to shoulder or sometimes after 10 sec or so the power will return. Car does not die it just takes throttle control away while traction light flashes. This is all during normal dry conditions and normal driving. I have also seen a huge amount of this same issue on the forums. My vehicle has been in the dealership service department four times and they have no fix yet. It is very unsafe and my wife is afraid to drive her brand new jeep. It's really ridiculous that we have to deal with all this an no one seems to care until someone gets killed because of the issues. And if this doesn't get corrected someone is going to get hurt or killed in a car accident. This problem occurs on a regular basis but it's hard to recreate on the spot so it's impossible to get the dealer to believe it is happening but if you search the web there is tons of info on this issue.
The stability control light randomly flashes and I lose power to the car. It happens during dry conditions and more frequently when turning. I have almost been in an accident twice because this. It has been occurring for months now and I have taking it to the dealer twice but they say they can't find anything wrong with it. No codes or star cases have been reported but the car it not right. I'm don't feel safe driving it but I am not sure what to do now.
On occasion when making either a left or right hand turn, the traction control light flashes and the engine loses power. All acceleration to the vehicle stops and will not resume until you release the gas pedal. The issue started in march of 2016 and continues till this date, 7/27/16
Violent rumbling noise and vibration when letting off the gas between 30 and 20 MPH. Can be made to go away when in manual mode or when traction control is turned off. This happens every time we drive the car.
