Transmission shifts hard (like a manual on my first day of driving school) upshift and downshift in lower gears. Problem persists in any weather condition as I live in the north east. Brake rotors wear uneven causing pulsation due to sticking calipers

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep renegade. While the contact's daughter was driving 45 MPH, she heard an abnormal noise. In addition, the brake pedal required excessive force to stop the vehicle. The driver parked on the side of the road and inspected the vehicle. The contact was an independent mechanic and also inspected the vehicle. The driver called jeep chrysler dodge ram fiat of ontario (located at 1202 auto center dr, ontario, ca 91761, (909) 906-7097 and notified them of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 89,643.
My vehicle makes a loud screeching noise while driving. When taken for service I was told that the left front caliper has failed and is not releasing. This presents serious issue for braking. According to the dealership the left front caliper is on national back order with no release date, thus indicating that this is a major nationwide problem with this particular vehicle. My major concern is that I cannot even have the problem repaired in a timely manner as the part is on back order with no release date.
Jeep renegade parking brake came on and would not go off. Jeep was unable to be moved and had to be dragged up on tow truck and dragged into the shop. This created a hazardous situation as the vehicle could not be moved to safety. Also jeep failed to cover and of the repairs.
Intermittent check parking break, check air bag warning keeps coming on. Also will not recognize when driver seat belt is engaged. This happens when the vehicle is started and at least one of the three warnings will stay on when the vehicle is in motions.
I turned on my jeep renegade with the automatic start button in like 30 weather. I drove it down the highway for about 10 minutes and the service engine light turned on. I also had the air bag, brake warning sign turn on. I stopped to put gas and just the service engine light stayed on. I had a diagnostic test done with code p0128- thermostat failure. Had to have it replaced in canada since I am on a temporary work permit. So it cost me an arm and a leg for service. Checked online and many people have had the same problem.
Seat belt light comes on dings the service airbag light comes on and the emergency brake light all at the same time. No one seems to be able to fix this problem. It does not seem to affect the driving but would have no idea if the airbags would deploy correctly. Also today while driving to work they all stayed on the entire time while dinging for over 20 mins. I have taken it to the dealership many times with no resolve. Some say it will not do it there some say they fixed it by taking off the negative battery cable for 40 mins that worked for like 1 day then all the lights are back. Is am so frustrated with this jeep and the lack of help. I have no idea if this car is safe for my kids with the airbag, seat belt and emergency brake lights constantly on while driving. This happens when I turn the car on, or they can all just come on while driving. It is at such random times but it is everyday!
I've had two separate occurrences happened to me. The first one I came to a stop sign and made a complete stop, when I went to accelerate my accelerator, brake pedal and steering wheel locked, I had to put the car on park and turn the engine off in the middle of the street, wait a moment, turn it on, it took a while to turn on but then everything went back to normal and I continued my journey. The second time, I was I was driving and slowed down to make a left turn, as I started turning my car completely stopped in the middle of the road, again, everything locked, and I almost got it with oncoming traffic. Once again I had to put the car on park and shut the engine off in the middle of traffic and wait for it to turn back on. I have no idea what is causing this but it's very dangerous and I could've been seriously injured as well as other people.
Vehicle starts engine. However all emergency and warnings lights go on. Brakes and steering lock. Car will not shut off until battery is unpluged. This happens repeatedly and randomly.
The brakes squeal constantly. We noticed it shortly after purchase but assumed it was from being a new vehicle. After owning the vehicle for a year, we took it in to have the brakes and roters replaced. We were told that there was a lot of padding remaining. The squealing occurs whenever your foot is on the break, regardless if you are still or slowing.
Driving on rainy day. Going anywhere from 30 to 55 MPH. All idiot lights came on the dash. Said service everything lost power steering lost power brakes.
Parking brake failed to set when pressed. The light for the brake turned on, however the parking brake was not engaged causing the vehicle to roll away from its parked location.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep renegade. When the contact started the vehicle after filling up the fuel tank, the check engine and electronic stability control warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart on the first attempt; however, the failure recurred. In addition, the vehicle made an abnormal sound and the emergency brake would not release. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed. The dealer recommended to have the oil changed every 3,000 miles and to check the dip stick every time the vehicle was filled with fuel. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 5,870.
I purchased my jeep in may and it only has 2000 + miles on it . While driving today the parking brake engaged automatically. It did it again 3 times on the freeway while I was on my way to the dealership about it. Every time I slowed down for a car it would engage and send that error. This will be the second time in a month I have had to take it to the dealership for issues. The first one was the overhead console was not working at all.
