2015 Jeep Renegade: transmission slipping

Filed Mar 2, 2021 · Transmission · 54,000 miles · IL

Since I bought the jeep, it would sometimes shift really hard from 1st gear & that was at 47k miles. Now I am at 55k & it is doing it from 1st, 2nd, & sometimes 3rd. Of course, jeep has made it so that I cannot even check my transmission fluid, much less add any because they made it a closed unit. I'm shocked that with all of the complaints I have seen about the "jerky" "hard shifting" "slipping" that a recall has not been done on this, clearly, flawed transmission system.

Several times I took my 2015 jeep renegade into carthage chrysler dodge jeep ram to complain about my transmission slipping with acceleration from a stop. I was told several times it was fine, despite my repeated complaints that it was a safety hazard. It would slip when entering roundabouts and when making left turns in traffic, causing several near accidents. I also complained about the jeep renegade continuing to shift into neutral, a recall jeep claims to have repaired in the past. When I wrote the company about my dismissed complaints in may I responded to their email for follow up information on may 12. A follow up question was asked regarding the name of the technician I may 13, attached. I apparently missed a call on 5/14 and was notified 5/15 that they were closing my case, also attached. We decided to take my renegade into frank fletcher chrysler dodge jeep, due to excellent customer service during an automotive purchase earlier this year, and they immediately find the problem to be an internal clutch failure. I have now been quoted a price of $4,601+tax...to fix a problem I have been complaining about for years to a different jeep dealership on 9/21/2020. I immediately sent an email to the federal safety agency, however I may have notified the administration incorrectly, sending an email instead of the form. Also attached is the work order and invoice from july 2019. I was provided with the invoice at time of payment with no mention of a transmission complaint. The work order clearly shows I was complaining about the transmission. Every time I complained I was told they couldn't replicate the issue and nothing was noted on the final invoice....when my transmission would have been covered under the power train warranty. This was not my first complaint, either, as I had been complaining about the transmission for years due to it being a safety hazard.

Jeep has started to slip into neutral while driving. This started several days ago. Today I was pulling onto the highway and it slipped into neutral. It took a minimum of 30 seconds to correct itself. Nothing I do seems to help. If there had been other vehicles on the road, well I hate to think of what could have happened. I will have had this jeep 5 years on january 2, 2021. I have enjoyed the jeep up until the last week,

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.

Transmission slips at (jerks) at 8 MPH every acceleration from a stand still and when accelerating, service rep at dealership said he can feel it as well, but no codes come up when placed on machine. Chrysler states transmission runs as designed. The only way to not feel the lag is to gun the gas from a stop. Taken vehicle in twice, first told a service bulletin was issued for the problem, said computer software needed update. Didn't work, as soon as I pulled out of dealership, problem remains. Second trip, they said they can do anything about this because of no-codes. (same problem is all over the internet from other consumers)

The 9-speed transmission on my 2015 jeep renegade slips out of gear and slips into neutral on its own. It also doesn't shift down into lower gears quickly enough when needing a burst of speed to get out of the way of oncoming traffic. This issue has slowly been getting worse over the past year. This issue typically arises when driving in the city and needing to make left turns quickly, it also happens when slowing down at a red light and the light turns green and you step on the gas.

Brakes: brakes making noise while car is in motion since purchase; severe rotor wear and malfunction six months after purchase; rotors deeply gouged and glazed blue 12 months after purchase; brake function in serious decline; two third party mechanics confirmed; jeep denies there is a problem and refuses to address. Transmission: (all issues while car is in motion - both while driving forward and in reverse) audible thuds, clunks, "bicycle chain" noise, delay 10-30 seconds when changing gears, gears slipping while in motion (with indicator light), acceleration (due to down shifting) after braking (in stop-and-go traffic) but I'm not stepping on the gas pedal; when starting from a full stop (at a traffic light) I push on the gas pedal but the car doesn't move, then lurches forward and clunks); backing up in reverse, when putting the car into drive and trying to move, the car takes up to 30 seconds to recognize this but still clunks and lurches forward electrical: several indicator lights (such as the icy conditions indicator) worked in the first few months but no longer work; remote entry access is intermittent at best (I have to be practically touching the car with my remote to unlock it); sometimes the car doesn't acknowledge there is remote entry at all; the ability to adjust the drivers side seat (seat recline, seat position) has failed at times (most recently I was on a ferry boat and had put the seat back to nap (car was off/parked) and the seat would not go back up into a regular driving postion - had to restart the car on/off several times before the ability was restored); twice in december 2016 the entire dash computer gave me a warning that there was a system issue (while driving on the freeway) and it shut down and rebooted while I was driving; when starting the car every single lighting dash warning light comes on and flashes over and over (5 mins)

My transmission had been slipping in the lower gears, and especially when I turned corners. Finally the car got stuck in 5th gear, and barely goes when I hit the gas. Both the transmission and engine light came on. I am taking it in.
