Vehicle seems to be slipping or missing. Something is definitely wrong. Purchased from carmax, called and had the car checked out thru they're service department. They couldn't find anything wrong. Husband reset transmission but same problem exists. Called local jeep dealership to check it out, they told me to take it back where I purchased. Which I said I already had, he still said take it back to them, so they can take it to get it looked at. Sounds like run around to me. Can you help me?

Transmission shifting hard makes noise and bogs down while driving or when accelerating. Seems like it slips into neutral. Takes to long to shift gears.

After about one & 1/2 yrs from buying jeep...brand new, it started shifting gears really hard. This seems to occur at 29-32 MPH, it feels like the transmission is slipping and the jeep will jerk very hard.

Car would not give gas and completely stalled out on me, and cut off!! It would not turn back on for several minutes. I almost got reamed by a large dump truck because this happened in the middle of a back windy road!! Also, my car is slipping out of gear from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! Dealership tells me I was almost out of oil???? How can this be? I get regular oil changes, and funny thing is, they always tell me I'm low!!?? I'm first owner, purchased in november 2017! Only have 36,000 miles! Now dealership telling me this is "normal" for renegade? Why wasnt I informed before purchasing!!! This is a major sadety hazard! I was almost seriously injured, the dump truck screached to a halt by a matter of inches!!!!

Jerking, popping noise and feeling experienced many times over the past couple months time. It's as if it's slipping or popping gears. This is all while in motion both city and highway.

While driving in any condition (highway, street) the transmission slips, sometimes violently. It feels like I have been rear ended it slips so bad. This is a frequent occurrence. When taken to the dealer, they have placed the jeep on their diagnostic computer and said nothing is wrong. The jeep has just over 22,000 miles. This has been going on since about 15,000 miles. Secondarily, sometimes the cruise control fails to engage or reengage.
