Jeep Renegade slipping problems

Filed Mar 7, 2026 · Electrical, Lights · SD

UConnect screen is out. Started glitching but now it is completely black yet the touch part of it is responsive?? Now if only i could remember EXACTLY where everything is located and in what order.. haha. Not. Also I have no backup camera view, not being able to see what temp my ac/heat is at or which mode it is on. What time is it even? How do i turn on the passenger heated seat for my daughter in the mornings and evenings when the temperature outside is below zero? How do i know where my next turn is when i am driving to a destination with my children and this is the first time i have ever seen, much less been on this road? It sucks!! And my android auto is no longer an option... music?? The safety i could put myself and others in by having to look at and use my phone to change songs, artists, podcasts, make a call or change a gps route... not cool! Also the "fog light" running light on my passenger side does not work at times despite having changed the bulb, wiring, even though the fog light works just fine? And i have often felt like my transmission was slipping when accelerating from stop signs or at other times and that is insane considering the vehicle had less that 50k miles at the time. I want to love my Jeep like i once did yet all this has me questioning whether i would even ever purchase another Jeep. I also feel like my front end is loose and there is a wobbling and have had the mechanic check several times. It doesn't sound safe or feel safe. Yet what is truly most important is that i want and need my current Jeep to last me but all these issues kinda scare me to be honest. I want my screen back!!! I want my light to work at all times! I need my transmission to be wonderful!! I don't even have 95k on my Jeep yet!!! I am praying that submitting this report will help out in some ways.

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,

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?
