2015 Jeep Renegade Driver assistance Problems

The Evaporative Emissions System (EVAP system), including components such as the charcoal canister, purge valve, and/or fuel tank venting system, appears to be malfunctioning. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. After refueling the vehicle completely, it will stall or shut off unexpectedly while driving, which could cause a collision, particularly in traffic or at highway speeds. This sudden loss of power places myself, my passengers, and other drivers at significant risk. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent mechanic, but not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. No warning lights, error messages, or advance symptoms were present prior to the vehicle stalling. The issue first occurred around 2022.

It mostly happens in the morning. While I’m driving to work which is less than 5 minutes away from where I live. The car would just shut down while I’m driving, lights would flicker and the car will stop. I would have to wait a few minutes or more to restart the vehicle and the drives normal. I bought the car from Carmax in May or June 2021. They told me there were no recalls. I look up the problem I’m having and found a previous recall about the same issue, on the same year, make and model. Need help

6/24/21 I backed out of my carport & my car jerked me very hard like something shifted. All error codes & lights came on, air bag (which did not deploy) E Brake light was on, check engine & tire pressure the PRND light up simultaneously & flashed. I turned it off & back on, seemed fine I put in drive & drove in my circle driveway & suddenly it stopped accelerating even with me giving it gas then it took off & the E Brake came on. Thank GOD I was In My driveway & not pulling into traffic when this occurred. My husband tried again when he got home & it did the same to him would go then just stop accelerating mid drive & E brake come along with ALL the flashing error codes & I mean every code it can throw it did. It was like it was going in & out of limp mode & the E brake would come on when it wanted to mid drive. It has been in service since 6/26/2021 when it was taken by tow to the dealer, as it was unsafe to try to drive. I do have an extended mopar warranty & im told they have contacted Jeep engineering team but have NO answers. It’s been in their possession close to 40 days now. I will not feel safe at all IF they fix this car due to that incident. I would either be dead or badly injured.

MY VEHICLE'S PASSENGER TIRE WAS IMPROPERLY MOUNTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT HAS LED TO THE ENGINE MOUNTS BECOMING WORN, CAUSING THE CAMSHAFT TO BE WORN AT ONLY 71,213 MILES, AND THE DRIVE SHAFT BECOMING BROKEN. THIS HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY A REPAIR SHOP AND A JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER SAYS THAT THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE AND ATTRIBUTE IT TO THE TIRE BEING IMPROPERLY MOUNTED BY THE FACTORY. THIS IS ALSO A KNOWN ISSUE DOCUMENTED IN VIDEOS AND ONLINE FORUMS. THIS IS A MATTER OF SAFETY AND COULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT HAVE NOT YET ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS WARRANTS A RECALL, WHICH IT SHOULD.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS, A TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT FOLLOWED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASH. I FIGURED IT WAS A MAINTENANCE WARNING. THE FURTHER I DROVE, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT I WAS LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IN THE MOUNTAIN RANGE THERE IS NO CELL SERVICE AND IT WAS DARK AS WELL AS FEARFUL DRIVERS WOULD COME UP BEHIND ME ON A CURVE WITHOUT MY ABILITY TO GO HWY SPEEDS, LEAVING ME TO FEEL VERY UNSAFE. THE FURTHER I DROVE, THE LESS ABILITY I HAD TO ACCELERATE. BY THE TIME I REACHED THE FREEWAY, MY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WAS VERY COMPROMISED. WHEN I REACHED THE FREEWAY, IT WAS CONGESTED, PLAYING IN MY FAVOR SINCE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WELL. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE WAS GETTING UP TO 2000+ RPMS TO GO 15 MPH. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY THE JEEP EXTENDED, BUT SINCE THIS INVOLVES 'THE BRAIN OF THE TRANSMISSION' IT IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR.

THIS JEEP IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY DONT CARE. THEY ARE GOING TO WAIT TIL SOMEONE DIES THEN THEY WILL GET ON THIS ISSUE. I DONT KNOW WHY MY JEEP WAS NOT IN THE LAST RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION BUT IT SHOULD BE, AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RESELL THIS JEEP OR THE 2015 RENEGADES PERIOD.

THEY ALL GO A LITTLE FASTER BUT THIS WAS LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO GO ABOVE 55 AND WAS PRAYING IT WOULD STOP AND IT DID. BUT WHEN WILL THE DAY COME THAT IT WONT ... I WILL NOT LIVE TO TELL IF IT EVER HAPPENS. SAD. AND ALL I WANTED WAS A WAY TO GET TO WORK,. AND ALL CHRYSLER CARES ABOUT IS GETTING PAID .

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SPEED WILL SHIFT KIND OF LIKE FROM NEUTRAL TO FIRST AND SO FOR. WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL BUT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME AND ALMOST PRODUCES A CRASH. WHILE ON THE TURNPIKE I TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROMPTLY, IT FEELS AS IF IT GETS STUCK AND THEN IT GIVES A BIG KICK. WHILE AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN ON OTHER DAYS, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND GIVES A KICK AND PROCEEDS TO MOVE IN A SLOW MOTION THEN GIVE ANOTHER KICK AND CONTINUE TO MOVE. IT FEELS AS IF THE SHIFT SHIFTS ON THEIR OWN AND ACCELERATION DOES NOT RESPOND ON TIME. ANOTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT AND I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. IT WAS MY TURN TO GO AND AS I SLOWLY ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE WILL GIVE A KICK AND PROCEED TO MOVE SLOWLY. ON ANOTHER INSTANCE, I STOPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I PROCEEDED TO MOVE, THE CAR GAVE ANOTHER SLOW KICK AND EVENTUALLY DECIDED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW INTENSE I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR IT STILL TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO RESPOND AND AVCTUALLY STARTS ACCELERATING. IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEMS AND AM GENUINELY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR I FEEL ONE DAY IT MIGHT NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR ON THE ROAD. WHILE AM PARKED ND CHANGE THE SHIFT FROM PARKING TO DRIVE, THE CAR AGAIN GIVES A QUICK AND THEN DECIDES TO MOVE. IT'S A SCARY EXPERIENCE TO FEEL THAT THE CAR I DRIVE AND AM.PAYING FOR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME WHILE ON THE ROAD, AT A GREEN LIGHT, ON TURNPIKE WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF MY PARKING LOT.

THE TRANSMISSION IS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES. WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A VERY SLOW CRAWL OR STOP, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO SOUNDS OR ANY INDICATION THAT ITS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. ALSO, WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A VERY SLOW CRAWL OR STOP, THE VEHICLE LAGS AND JOLTS FORWARD. FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HAS HIT YOU FROM BEHIND. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO SOUNDS OR ANY INDICATION THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. THERE WERE A FEW NEAR-ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF OR LUNGING IN INTERSECTIONS. IT HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAYS.IT WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO SURVEY. IT DIED IN THEIR PARKING LOT TWICE. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE OIL, THE BATTERY, ELECTRONICS, OR THAT IT WAS DRIVEN AWKWARDLY, ETC. THEY HAVE HELD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 30DAYS, DID SOFTWARE FIXES, CHANGED THE OIL, CHANGED THE BATTERY. I ALSO WENT THROUGH THE CHRYSLER DISPUTE RESOLUTION. WHICH WAS UNFAVORABLE TO MYSELF DUE TO DEALERSHIP CLAIMING NOTHING WAS WRONG. DEALERSHIP DID NOT NOTATE TRUE EXPERIENCES WITH THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER. VEHICLE STILL STALLED AND LUNGED THEREAFTER. I REFUSED TO DRIVE IT DUE TO SAFETY REASONS AND HAD DEALERSHIP BUY IT BACK AT BLUEBOOK VALUE SO THAT I COULD PURCHASE A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. I DID NOT CLAIM INTO THE CLASS ACTION SUIT BECAUSE AT THE TIME, I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

JEEP IS CONSISTENTLY JUMPING INTO GEAR WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE. MOST RECENTLY, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK IT LUNG FORWARD! (UNGOOD). WHILE DRIVING, PERIODICALLY GETS STUCK IN A GEAR. (?). AT LEAST TWICE, THE CAR HAS REFUSED TO TURN OVER UPON IGNITION ENGAGEMENT. SINCE I HAVE OBTAINED THE JEEP, ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE STEREO GIVES ME INTERMITTENT SIGNALS/SOUND, INCLUSIVE OF THE USB CONNECTIONS ETC. (NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE). THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT FOR SOME REASON OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT LATCH. SOMETHING IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE SOUNDS AS IF IT IS GOING TO FALL OF OR BREAK AT ANY TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR RUFF TERRAIN.
