2015 JEEP RENEGADE Electrical System Problems

I purchased in 2015 (Jeep Renegade). The dealership promised a “lifetime warranty” for the duration of my ownership, but despite repeated service visits over the past 10 years for persistent electrical problems, they have refused to honor this warranty. It has come to my recent attention that the two major reasons jeep has stopped making the Renegade was due to electrical and engine issues. Both issues with my car never told to me, and games are being played. Key points: I have complete documentation: purchase receipts, service records, text messages, and emails confirming the warranty and the repeated service attempts. The dealership now claims they have no record of my purchase. I was assured by a service representative that the issues were covered under warranty so I brought it there time and time again. The last time I brought it in the representative was working on it under warranty, but the representative was later terminated while still working to resolve the problem. These service manager, Keri has played games to avoid repairs and has even tried to tell me that I didnt buy my car there when I have proof I did. She said my receipts mean nothing and aren't proof. Its been a non stop headache for almost 10 years when all they had to do was be honest from the beginning. This car has had these problems on and off since 2017 and caused the dealer to have to replace the engine due to this parasitic draw. Each time pretending to fix it and not doing so. These issues have caused significant inconvenience, expenses, and emotional stress over a decade. I would like to explore: Enforcing the lifetime warranty and having the electrical issues properly fixed free of charge Pursuing remedies under Tennessee’s consumer protection laws for unfair or deceptive trade practices. Discussing compensation for damages resulting from the dealership’s repeated failures to repair the vehicle. I am fully prepared to provide all documentation, a detailed timeline of events

When I was driving and stopped at a red light, my Jeep automatically shut off. It had the steering wheel warning and air bag warning pop up. I had a message that told me to put my vehicle in Park when I tried to start it back up. I placed it in park and started up the Jeep again. It came back on, but the warning lights remained on. Once I made it home, I safely turned my vehicle off and then restarted it. Once I restarted it, those warnings were no longer on.

I was driving my vehicle and all of the sudden it just turned off and said vehicle shift to P to select gear, and I kept pressing the gas and it wouldn’t move , I have nothing on my dash no lights or anything.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. There several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was jerking and hesitating while shifting between gears. The contact stated that the battery was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer where several unknown parts were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the vehicle had been inoperable for two months since the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Mileage: 60,000

The backup safety camera screen that is also used for the radio and Bluetooth intermittently goes black which disconnects any calls, and doesn’t display the backup safety camera.

In January 2023 and April 2023, a recalled was serviced on. The recall of W80 Oil Consumption Inspection. Was performed twice. So many times I have put the 2015 Jeep Renegade in the service shop countless times. I was in the shop for over a month the oil pressure light comes on every 5 to 30 seconds. I have taken it to another service shop however, they suggest I take it back to the original service shop who original service the Jeep.

While driving in a snowstorm, with 4 wheel drive engaged, the vehicle started swerving, and fish tailing. I was in town and going slow(20 mph). The dash flashed some messages, and the default kicked in so front wheel drive resumed and stability also. The main message was ESC-Emergency Stability Control, plus two others. I called a mechanic in the morning, who suggested the computer might reset. I turned the vehicle on, but the message stayed. I decided to go to the mechanic’s shop, but after two left turns I heard a “growling” sound and the computer did reset. It has been okay since.

Car randomly stalls in park, when reversing, when in drive but brake is being applied, or when first accelerating after putting into drive. Several times now it has stalled when I'm at stop lights. One time it stalled after just tapping the brake while approaching a stop light. That was terrifying because the car was still in motion. Also, car randomly jerks hard when shifting gears. Recently, car doesn't want to shift while accelerating up hills, and RPM's can get up to 4.5 or 5. No engine light or other warnings lights ever come on. I have brought it to my mechanic two times now about the hard shifting and stalling.Have another appointment this week. They can't figure out what's causing it. Nor can they replicate the problem. This can happen a few times a day, then go weeks without an issue. I've seen the same problems from dozens of people on Jeep forums for 2015 -2017 models. No one had a solution, while seemingly getting brushed off by the dealerships about it.

2015 Jeep Renegade vehicle's horn stopped working/malfunctioned. The clockspring in the steering column control needs to be replaced, along with a battery transmitter, and an air bag that is in the steering column. A Jeep service confirmed the problem and is ordering parts at this time. The parts cost $1,802.31, not including labor. Not having a horn to use puts myself and others at risk while driving, especially in high-traffic areas. The manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others, have not inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lamps or messages. The horn completing stopped working about three weeks ago.

My vehicle recently started showing warning/service lights for no reason; airbag, power steering, park lights, coolant, check engine etc. My engine would also keeps running even after removing the keys.. My battery would also be dead the next day (new battery) if battery is not disconnected . Power door locks , also stops working via fob and manual. While driving the power steering would also stops working (very dangerous) as this will prevent you from turning and can cause collision. Engine will start but dies after 5 seconds. I have looked online in jeep forums and this problems appears to be related to ignition switch. The problems the car is having is very identical to those renegade owners posted on line. Other renegade owners got the ignition switch replaced and fixed the problem. As of now, there is no recall for this particular issue but should be investigated. I will be taking my car for recalls and also to include this problem to get fixed. This is a safety matter as it could cause fatality.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while leaving his garage, the battery lost power and was completely drained. The vehicle was jumpstarted. The next day, the battery was drained again. The vehicle was jumpstarted again. Additionally, the vehicle failed to shift into park(P). There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact called the local dealer and who provided with unknown recommendations. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

My car turns off at random times while driving. This has happened while going down the highway at high speeds and while turning left into a business and everything in between. I am usually able to start the car after waiting five minutes or so and it may or may not turn off again before I reach my destination. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times for this issue with no resolve. The first time I took my car to the dealership was July 14th, 2021 and they determined it was the battery, that did not solve the issue. On December 29, 2022 I took the vehicle to the dealership and on January 09, 2023 I picked it up. They told me my battery cable was loose, that was not the issue. On January 24 I took it back and on February 7, 2023 I picked it up. The dealership replaced the wiring harness, but the issue still remains. Driving down the road at any speed and having the car shut off is a safety risk to everyone around. When my daughter was turning left into a business she was terrified and blocking traffic going both directions and had to be pushed out of the road. While driving down the road I constantly am looking for a plan of action, a place that I can coast off the road if my car dies. The dealership has not been able to recreate this problem. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealership. 60% of the time all of the warning lamps are on, and the other part of the time just the check engine light and battery lamp are on, but this is not an indication of if the car will safely get me to my destination without turning off. Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not. I am not the only one who has suffered this issue. Numerous similar incidents can be found from other people on various websites.

Battery went dead, vehicle was jump started as per guide protocol, then vehicle would not shift out of Park. Had to use Emergency towing and release the shift with the shift lever override as described in the manual. Vehicle will now only go into gear with screwdriver, but it still will not recognize it is in gear and will not move. Warning lights of service transmission. Battery changed, vehicle is just sitting, there is NO explanation as to what to do, dealerships have no clue. Vehicle will roll and cause an accident if not propped behind the tires. Through Jeep forum, it is noted that this is an ongoing issue with this specific year/make/model. The "fix" is over $2000, it should be a recall and the manufacturers responsibility since it is a known issue. Jeep USED to be a reliable, dependable brand, unfortunately, this is the last one we will ever own.

I bought a 2015 Jeep Renegade in October of 2021 (last year) and have experienced the vehicle stalling TWICE in the middle of traffic. I was informed of the recall by Carmax after the deal was drawn up and the vehicle delivered to me on October 4, 2021. I took the vehicle to Class Jeep in Arlington, Texas, (see attached documents) who refused to replace the engine of the vehicle – the reason for the Recall. I have done all that I can do and exhausted every means necessary to have the recall completed and the vehicle replaced or repaired to bring up to operating standard. I currently owe $21,000.00 on a vehicle that is non-operable. Carvana delivered the car with a rotted battery (paperwork attached); and, a faulty brake job (where new brakes had been put on top of bad rotors) which they felt $200.00 should cover the cost for a $1100 brake repair/replacement. Carvana also refused to replace the transmission on the vehicle which they identified as the source of the ‘stalling-out’ in the midst of traffic when the vehicle would not shift gears to accelerate. The justification was because ‘a module is on top of the transmission instead of inside of it’ and it’s not an engine problem; therefore, refused to repair or replace. Essentially, I have been told that the vehicle which is a safety hazard and threat to life is no longer their concern. Please advise – both the dealership and the manufacturer have taken the position that the operating problems of this vehicle is that ‘of the other’s…’ and no one wanting to just take ownership that the vehicle is faulty and fix it, repair it, or take it out of circulation on the market for sell to unsuspecting consumers. Requested Resolution: I am requesting REPAIR or REPLACEMENT of this vehicle; or, buyback with no negative adverse action on my credit worthiness. My choice is not simply, “you can return it” as I was told – which will result in a ‘REPOSSESSION’ appearing on my credit report.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with a software failure. The vehicle was not repaired; however, two rotors, wheel bearings, and motor mounts were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

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.

While putting my car in park to exit my vehicle, my emergency parking break activated and would not shut off. I tried resetting the car multiple times. Nothing released the emergency parking break. The car needed to be towed to the dealership where they informed me a "glitch" had happened in the parking system...

Shifter won't work (won't move out of park) after battery dies. My vehicle's battery died at the end of April, we assumed it was just an old battery and had it replaced by AAA. Last week, the battery died again (this also co-occurred with the key fobs not working...if that's helpful). After AAA charged it, we turned it on but it wouldn't shift out of park. We followed the manual instructions to manually shift it into Neutral but then we couldn't turn the vehicle off. Eventually it was towed to the dealership while it was still running...and they said that it needs a new shifter (+$1300)?! The vehicle was purchased new and this series of events (battery dying / shifter dying) seems to be a recurring event....in some cases owners have had it happen in really inopportune and even dangerous places. https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/transmission-wont-shift-into-gear.98673/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/stuck-in-park.103031/ https://www.reddit.com/r/JeepRenegade/comments/gkt6ov/will_not_shift_from_park/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/service-engine-and-service-transmission.73290/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/battery-died-and-it-all-went-bad.46762/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/replaced-battery-now-having-issues.98907/ https://www.jeeprenegadeforum.com/threads/battery-died-transmission-won%E2%80%99t-go-into-gear.101187/ My concern is that as the 2015 (the first year) Renegades get older, many more vehicle's will need batteries replaced and this will happen to all affected vehicles. Thank you for your time.

I PARKED MY CAR IN THE GARAGE ON A MONDAY GOT READY TO GO THE VERY NEXT DAY CAR STARTED BUT WOULDN'T GO IN GEAR AND THE DASH BOARD WAS SAYING SERVICE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION THERE WAS NO WARNING ANY TIME BEFORE

SINCE I OWNED THIS JEEP I COMPLAINED AT SERVICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS STRAIN AND WHERE A CHANGE IN GEAR SHOULD NATURALLY HAPPEN, THE ENGINE WOULD WHINE AND WHINE AND THEN EVENTUALLY SHIFT GEARS. I WAS ALWAYS MET WITH SERVICE MEN WITH NO RESPONSE. SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE BURNED CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF OIL, AND I WOULD NEED TO MAKE ADDITIONAL SPECIAL APPT SAND BRING IT IN TO MAKE SURE I HAD OIL IN THE ENGINE?THE CONSOLE ABOVE MY HEAD WHERE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND THE SUNROOF SWITCH IS THERE ARE RED LIGHTS THAT LIGHT UP FROM TIME TO TIME INDICATING WHAT/ AND WHY ARE THEY LIT?

I WILL START THIS OFF BY SAYING I'VE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS WITH MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE INCLUDING A/C PROBLEMS, POWER OUTLETS(BACK SEAT 110V OUTLET, CARGO OUTLETS & BUILT IN FLASHLIGHT) SHUTTING OFF AFTER ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF USAGE. THE BLIND SPOT ASSISTANCE WILL RANDOMLY POP UP WHEN DRIVING SAYING 'BLIND SPOT ASSIST IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE' THE BIGGEST ONE BEING WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW WHICH IS WHAT I'LL EXPLAIN BELOW BUT TO INFORM YOU MORE I'LL INCLUDE THAT IT HAD 96K WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK AND HAD ALWAYS KIND OF HAD A JERKY FEEL WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS WHICH I READ WAS KIND OF NORMAL, SO I DIDN'T PUT MUCH THOUGHT INTO IT UNTIL NOW. MY TRUCK WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT BEING MOVED AND WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I HADN'T LEFT ANYTHING ON, LIGHTS, RADIO, ECT. IT HAD HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT TILL NOW. SO AFTER I CHARGE THE BATTERY LONG ENOUGH TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED IT FINALLY FIRES UP BUT ALL THESE MESSAGES COME ACROSS THE SCREEN: CHECK ENGINE, SERVICE TRANSMISSION, BLIND SPOT TEMPORARILY OUT OF SERVICE, PASSAGEWAY ENTRY UNAVAILABLE, ALONG WITH A FEW MORE. I GIVE IT A MINUTE HAVING THE TRUCK RUNNING TO RESET THESE THINGS THEIR SELVES AND MOST DO EXCEPT A FEW. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON ALONG WITH THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WHICH IS THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING THAT HAS THE TRUCK STUCK IN GEAR; IT WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TERMINALS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES SEEING IF THE SOFTWARE WILL RESET THAT WAY BUT IT DIDN'T HELP STILL HAS THE MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY'VE HAD IT 4 DAYS NOW AND I'M STILL NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS IS BUT AM DREADING THIS MAJOR ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 14K MILES ON IT. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE O2 SENSOR. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER, THE WIRING HARNESS HAS MELTED. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAS BEEN UPDATED INDICATING THERE WAS A DEFECT THAT WAS CORRECTED. HOWEVER NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. WHY NOT IF THE PART WAS UPDATED TO FIX A DEFECT?

WHILE DRIVING A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING WHILE STOPPED IT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET/ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH OUR VEHICLE AT LEAST 3 TIMES, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING AND TWICE AS WE WERE DRIVING. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT BEING HIT OR INJURED. ONE TIME VEHICLE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED, EVENTUALLY THE CAR WAS JUMPED SUCCESSFULLY, AND DRIVEN TO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF IN AN INTERSECTION. ABOUT 8 HOURS LATER WE JUMPED THE CAR AND DROVE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE AGAIN NOTHING CAN BE DETECTED. MANY OTHER JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS REPORT THE SAME THING HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS NO THING CAN BE FOUND. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS TO OUR CAR WE HAVE HAD AN INFANT IN THE CAR.. WE ARE GRATEFUL WE WERE NOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY LIKE SOME OTHER RENEGADE DRIVERS REPORT. WITHOUT FINDING OUT AND FIXING WHAT IS TRULY WRONG THESE INTERMITTENT SHUTOFFS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON TOO LONG WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. NO BIG DEAL I THOUGHT... I JUMPSTART THE CAR PER OWNERS MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS (IT HAS A COMPLEX BATTERY SO EVEN THOUGH I'VE JUMP STARTED MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WEREN'T SPECIAL PROCEDURES, IT ENDED UP BEING PRETTY STANDARD). WHEN IT DIED IT WAS IN A GARAGE SO I HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE GEAR SELECTOR TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT INTO POSITION FOR A JUMP CONNECTION. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND LET THE BATTERY CHARGE UP A WHILE. ONCE THE CAR CHARGED UP ENOUGH, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. AT THIS POINT I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE CLEAR, THAT'S WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING FINE, TRANSMISSION WAS FINE BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS LOCKED INTO PARK. I WAS BLOCKING THE ROAD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE I WAS MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE GEAR SELECTOR, I FINALLY GET THE CAR TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. ONLY THE ENGINE WOULD REV, NO MOVEMENT. TRY TO REVERSE, SAME THING. AT THIS POINT I COULDN'T GET THE CAR BACK INTO PARK. I PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO THE GARAGE TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AND GO TO TURN IT OFF. THE RENEGADE (PUSH BUTTON START) WILL NOT LET YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IN ANY GEAR BUT PARK. IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. AFTER STRUGGLING MORE TO FORCE IT BACK INTO PARK, I FINALLY GET IT AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T GET STUCK IN D OR R IF IT STARTED WORKING! I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE JUMPSTARTING A CAR AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. LUCKILY I WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH THE CAR BACK OUT OF THE WAY, OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE STUCK THERE INDEFINITELY UNTIL A TOW CAME. I'VE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS IN ONLINE FORUMS. EACH ONE SAID A DEALERSHIP HAD TO RESET THE CARS COMPUTER TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.

THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP TURN MY CAR OFF PUMP THE GAS AND THEN RESTART.

I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK WHO USED SPECIAL JUMP BOX AND HE STILL COULDN'T GET IT TO CRANK. NOW HERE IT IS A LESS THAN A YEAR LATER AND THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN.

COULDN'T TURNED IT OFF GEAR SHIFT WOULD LOCK ITSELF. HAPPENED WHILE HEADING BACK HOME. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAW THE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION. THEY ENDED UP DOING SOMETHING ELSE THAT I DIDN'T SAY YES TO NOW THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR IT AND WHILE MY CAR WAS GETTING REPAIRED. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER CAR, I GET IN CAR ACCIDENT IN THEIR LOANER CAR I HAD INSURANCE BUT ONLY LIABILITY.

I LIVE OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN HOUSTON, TX. I FEEL I PLAY A GAME OF CHICKEN EACH TIME I ATTEMPT TO TURN OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN MY JEEP RENEGADE. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES, THE ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON. A HOST OF NEW ELECTRICAL MESSAGES MAY OR MANY NOT POP UP. I HAVE HAD LIGHTS STOP AND START WORKING. THE CAR CUT OFF WHEN MAKING A TURN AS THE CAR IS BURNING INSANE AMOUNTS OF OIL. IT IS NOT THE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE I HAD HOPED FOR. I UNDERSTAND SOME ISSUES HOWEVER THERE APPEARS TO BE A NEW ONE ALMOST WEEKLY. I HAVE HIRED A LAWYER TO INVESTIGATE MY CASE S THIS THE ABSOLUTE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE CAR JERKS LIKE SOMEONE IS SMASHING INTO THE BACK OF YOU WHEN GOING 15 MPH OR LESS. IT LOSES POWER AND HESITATES ON TAKEOFF. THE CAR SUFFERS FROM MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND I FEEL THIS IS A CASH COW FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO KEEP OWNERS SERVING THEIR VEHICLES ON A REGULAR BASIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. MANY OWNERS GIVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND THE SAME ISSUES, HOWEVER NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO LISTEN OR HOLD THE MANUFACTURE ACCOUNTABLE.

THE SECOND OCCURRENCE VEHICLE WAS JUST TOWED TO THE DEALER AS UNFIT TO DRIVE. AFTER RESTING, ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WILL KNOW MORE AFTER AUTO IS CHECKED.

I'VE HAD SHIFTING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE FOR OVER 1 YEAR NOW. VEHICLE SHIFTS ROUGH AND SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY AND RANDOMLY EVERYDAY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN 5 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION AND STATEMENTS STATING THEY "CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS" WITH MY TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE SURGES WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND ADHERES MY VEHICLE FROM BRAKING ADEQUATELY TO THE POINT WHERE I'M NERVOUS IT WILL PUSH ME INTO A STOPPING CAR IN FROM OF ME.

APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK, I BEGAN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE BATTERY HAS DIED FOUR TIMES, THE KEY FOB(S) WORK INTERMITTENTLY, THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, THE CLOCK CONTINUOUSLY RESETS THE DATE/TIME, AND THE WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING ONCE. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE JEEP'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TWICE DUE TO DEAD BATTERIES. THIS WEEKEND, THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING AND IT DOES NOT TURN ON. THESE CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS BOTH THE USE AND VALUE OF MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, IT PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY; WINTER IS UPON US AND MY WIFE UTILIZES THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR TWO CHILDREN, WHOM ARE EACH UNDER THE AGE OF THREE YEARS OLD. THE THOUGHT OF THEM BEING STRANDED WITH NO HEATER DUE TO CONTINUOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES IS UNNERVING. I INITIALLY CONSIDERED THIS TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT; HOWEVER, I'VE ASKED TWO ADDITIONAL 2015 JEEP RENEGADE OWNERS IF THEY HAVE ENCOUNTERED ANY SIMILAR INSTANCES - BOTH HAVE RETURNED THEIR RENEGADE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THEM THE VEHICLE SIMPLY NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS IS NOT A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE!

CASE #: [XXX] VIN: [XXX] VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CHRYSLER ASPEN LIMITED 4X2 SPORT UTILITY 4-DOOR GOOD MORNING - I DROPPED MY CAR OFF TO BE SERVICED YESTERDAY FOR THE CLAIM AS ADVISED AFTER WORK YESTERDAY. I WAS GIVEN A JEEP RENEGADE AS A LOANER. WHY WAS I NOT ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION LAST NIGHT. AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER SALES REP [XXX] WHO WAS VERY HELPFUL. HE ADVISED IF THE CAR WAS IN A SAFE PLACE TO LEAVE THE WINDOW DOWN. THE CAR WAS IN MY GARAGE. I DROVE IT BACK TO THE STATELINE CHRYSLER AND AFTER EXPLAINING THE SITUATION, AND AFTER DOUBLE CHECKING THE SITUATION, QUAN OR QUAL W/ STATELINE CHRYSLER NOT [XXX] WERE ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION EITHER. I WAS AN HOUR AN A HALF LATE FOR WORK DUE TO THIS SITUATION. I DID NOT WANT TO KEEP A CAR AND BE STUCK ANY LONGER WITH THIS SITUATION. I WAS ADVISED BY THE STATELINE REP THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE CALLED WITH COMPLAINTS THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THIS WAS ONLY A LOANER CAR FOR ME ...ANOTHER CHRYSLER ISSUE.

SALESMAN SAID THEY COULD MAKE IT LIKE THE ONE WE WANTED (WE PICKED BY COLOR) BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ADD REMOTE START AND HEATED SEATS. WE PICKED IT UP NOTICING THEY BUTCHERED THE SEAT PUTTING IN HEATED SEATS. WE GET HOME WITH IT AND SHUT IT OFF MIND YOU THIS IS BRAND NEW, TO WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT CAUSE I HEAR A CAR RUNNING IN THE GARAGE ITS THE JEEP. THEY TELL ME THE REMOTE START DOES IT IF BATTERY IS LOW. SO I START PARKING IT OUTSIDE AS NOT TO DIE FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING TO FIND IT OUTSIDE RUNNING EVERY NIGHT. AT 1200 MILES THE REAR END STARTS GROWLING AND TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT AND IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ITS THE REMOTE STARTER THEY SAY SO THEY REMOVE IT. THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH MY MONEY BACK. DOES IT AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES AND TOOK IT IN 3 MORE TIMES FOR SHUTTING OFF ON HIGHWAY, REAR END GROWLING STILL AND TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING. GET IT BACK WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT WE DID UPDATES TO THE COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION. NEXT DAY RADIO STARTS CHANGING STATIONS ON ITS OWN AS I RECORD IT WITH MY PHONE, LIGHTS GOING OFF AND ON, WINDOWS NOT WORKING AND STILL NOT SHIFTING. THEY REPLACED REAR END PIG, RADIO, WIRING HARNESS AS THEY SAID THE GUY BENT A PIN INSTALLING REMOTE STARTER. THEN AT 17,000 MILES REAR END AND TRANSMISSION START DOING IT AGAIN AND THE SHORTING COMES BACK, NEW REAR PINION AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, NEW RADIO AGAIN AS THE OTHER ONE SHORTED OUT, TRANSMISSION STILL NOT SHIFTING. FILED FOR LEMON LAW CHRYSLER COMES BACK WITH THE CAR IS FINE ITS DUE TO THE AFTER MARKET EQUIPMENT I HAD INSTALLED. YOUR DEALER SHIP IS WHO HAD IT INSTALLED BRAND NEW VEHICLE. STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING OR TAKING OFF WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL. STUCK WITH THIS JUNK CAUSE THEY WON'T TAKE IT BACK. CALLED LAWYERS AND THEY SAID LOVE TO HELP BUT THAT WAS A ONE AND DONE DEAL. NEVER BUY CHRYSLER AGAIN.

I HAVE OWNED THIS 2015 JEEP RENEGADE 4WD FOR JUST OVER ONE YEAR. DURING THIS TIME FRAME, THE BATTERY HAS DIED THREE TIMES; ONCE LEAVING MY FAMILY STRANDED 40+ MILES FROM OUR HOME. THE KEY FOBS CONTINUOUSLY FAIL TO WORK. MEANING, YOU ARE STUCK MANUALLY UNLOCKING EACH DOOR... AND WHEN THE KEY FOB IS NOT WORKING, NEITHER DOES THE ELECTRIC SWITCH ON EITHER OF THE FOUR DOOR PANELS. OBVIOUSLY SEVERAL YEARS BACK, MOST VEHICLES HAD MANUAL LOCKS AND WINDOWS... BUT THIS IS 2016 AND A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD WITH UNDER 10,000 MILES. FOR A BATTERY TO DIE THREE TIMES AND THE KEY FOBS TO CONTINUOUSLY FAIL, THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE JEEP RENEGADE. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN BEING STRANDED...AND FROM A SAFETY ASPECT, A KEY FOB SHOULD BE FAR MORE RELIABLE THAN WHAT JEEP OFFERS.

TODAY,WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY ALMOST CAUSING A VERY SEVERE ACCIDENT WITH MY 8 WEEK OLD BABY IN THE CAR. WE CONTINUED TO TRY AND DRIVE SO WE WOULDN'T BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY BUT THE JEEP WENT 35 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH THIS CAR BUT THE FIRST AS SEVERE AS THIS. A FEW DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IT WOULD SHIFT HARD WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE, IT FELT AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, MY ONLY VEHICLE, AND I AM SCARED TO TAKE MY BABY ANYWHERE. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY INCIDENT ESPECIALLY WITH A NEWBORN. JEEP NOT ONLY PUT MY LIFE AT JEOPARDY BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY A BABY'S LIFE!

I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT BEFORE AND THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS LEFT STRANDED, AN HOUR AND A HALF FROM HOME BY MY JEEP RENEGADE. THE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM DECIDES TO STOP WORKING OUT OF THE BLUE AND THEN THERE IS NO WAY TO START THE CAR. JUMPING IT DOESN'T HELP AND IT'S A MAJOR GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM. THE DEALER "FIXED" THIS ISSUE LAST WEEK BY REPLACING A FAULTY GROUND AND THEY SAID THAT WAS WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. THREE DAYS LATER, I'M IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT THAT I WAS IN BEFORE. THIS CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AND NO ONE HAS BEEN PROACTIVE IN TAKING CARE OF THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.

Mileage: 16,500

I PURCHASED THE FIRST MODEL OF THE JEEP RENEGADE IN MAY 2015. IT HAS REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY. IN THE PAST YEAR, THE KEYLESS ENTRY HAS STOPPED WORKING 7 TIMES. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES. THERE IS NO WAY TO START THE CAR, EVEN WHEN YOU TAKE THE METAL PART OF THE KEY AND TOUCH IT TO THE START BUTTON. I'VE BEEN STRANDED WITHOUT A VEHICLE EACH TIME. JEEP SAYS THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE BUT I'VE READ MULTIPLE JEEP FORUMS STATING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. FOR A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT. THE SECOND TO LAST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, THEY SWITCHED THE BATTERY AND SAID THAT WOULD FIX IT. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM CAME BACK. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE FOR FEAR THAT I COULD BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WITHOUT CELL SERVICE. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR IS PARKED AND OFF. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE ISSUE IS GOING TO OCCUR, IT HAPPENED TWICE LAST WEEK AND THE FIRST TIME IT GOT TOWED TO THE DEALER. BY THE TIME IT GOT THERE, THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE STARTING THE CAR AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THERE WAS NO FIX.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING INADVERTENTLY AND RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, AS DOES BACK UP CAMERA AND CAMERA GUIDE LINES. ADDITIONALLY, 911 AND UCONNECT RANDOMLY ARE SHOWING, INDICATING A MALFUNCTION. SEVEN TRIPS TO DEALER HAVE NOT CORRECTED, INCLUDING DEALER CONTACTS WITH MANUFACTURER (WORK ORDERS ON FILE). SHUTTING OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTING SOMETIMES CORRECTS THE VEHICLE'S ISSUES. FIRST STOP WITH DEALER TO CORRECT-11/15/2015 (VEHICLE PURCHASED IN OCTOBER). MOST RECENT STOP WITH DEALER 4/8/2015

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING HAS BEEN ACTIVATING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND WHILE ENTERING/EXITING HIGHWAY RAMPS, SPECIFICALLY WHERE OVERPASSES ARE PRESENT. ALSO, THE FCW LIGHT WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY AT START UP OF THE VEHICLE FORCING ME TO GO TO SETTINGS AND TURNING BACK ON. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THE FCW WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE FCW WOULD NOT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP DURING DEALER PERFORMED OBSTACLE TEST. SO FAR ALL ATTEMPS TO REPAIR BY THE DEALER HAVE FAILED.

MY NEW RENEGADE STARTED HESITATING WHEN ACCELERATING AND WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. YOU COULD TELL IT WAS STUCK IN GEARS TOO LONG BEFORE SHIFTING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES. FIRST TIME THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THEY DID NOT NOTICE ANY ISSUES DURING THEIR TEST DRIVE. SECOND TIME THE TECH SAID HE FELT IT AND FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH A MODULE UPDATE. IT DID RIDE GREAT AFTER THAT-BUT LASTED FOR ONLY ONE DAY. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK FOR THE THIRD TIME AND THEY DID NOTHING-SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE WHOLE TIME I AM THINKING MAYBE I AM IMAGING THE ISSUE,ONLY TO SPEAK TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER IN THE WAITING ROOM ABOUT HER ONGOING ISSUES IN HER 2012 CHEROKEE-SAME TRANSMISSION AS IN THE RENEGADE. NOW, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM AND COME BACK ON AND THE FRONT WIPERS COME ON WHEN YOU TURN THE BACK WIPERS ON. THE VEHICLE HAS 2070 MILES ON IT. AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS (CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS) I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT. THE SERVICE MAN SAID I COULD BRING IT BACK-WHICH I AM GOING TO TOMORROW. BUT IF THEY INSIST THEY DON'T FEEL IT I AM NOT SURE WHAT MY RECOURSE IS. DO I HAVE TO WAIT TILL I CRASH DUE TO A SYSTEM DEFECT>

2 WEEKS AFTER BUYING MY BRAND NEW RENEGADE, IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY & I HAD TO COAST OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. NOT ONLY DID MY JEEP LEAVE ME STRANDED, I COULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER AT 80 MILES AN HOUR. JUST BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN, MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS AND BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS WERE HITTING THE RED MARKS. IT WAS SERVICED, AND GIVEN 2 SOFTWARE UPDATES. A WEEK LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. YOU CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE, INSTEAD IT DIES, HOWEVER THE RPM'S GO UP AS HIGH AS THEY CAN GO BUT MY CAR WON'T SHIFT GEARS. NOW IT IS IN THE SHOP (FOR OVER A WEEK), SUPPOSEDLY GETTING A NEW FUEL PUMP, WHICH I DO NOT THINK IS THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC PROBLEMS AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT KEEPS HAPPENING. AFTER PUTTING ME IN DANGER TWICE, I FEEL CERTAIN AS SOON AS I GET MY NEW FUEL PUMP AND DRIVE HOME, THIS WILL BREAK DOWN AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP ONE MONTH, BRAND NEW.

OUR JEEP RENEGADE'S 6.5AN INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM MAY HAVE CORRUPTED SOFTWARE OR A ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE (JUNE 2 ,2015) THE YELP FEATURE WILL NOT LOAD AND IS NOT AVAILABLE TO UTILIZE AS ADVERTISED. MY U-CONNECT ACCOUNT WAS LISTED AS PENDING INSTEAD OF TRIAL/ACTIVATED.

I NOW HAVE ANOTHER OPEN TROUBLE TICKET AND U-CONNECT DOESNT SEEM TO HAVE AN ANSWER. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH THIS FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND 5-6 TRIPS TO THE DEALER, A REPLACEMENT RADIO AND A REQUESTED BUYBACK. I HAVE AN OPEN CUSTOMER CARE CASE.

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THEN SHIFTED IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SYSTEMS WENT DEAD. I SHIFTED BACK TO PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IT DID NOT START AND TURNING THE KEY RESULTED IN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS LIGHTING UP. THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND DID NOT RELEASE. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS DID NOT WORK BUT AFTER THE KEY WAS TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS DID FLASH IF THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTONS ON THE KEY FOB WERE PUSHED. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT TURN WITH THE KEY IN PLACE AND THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD TO RESORT TO USING A POWER PACK ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS TO GET POWER TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SO HE COULD RESTORE THE STEERING AND RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE. AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED THE CAR THEY FOUND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONAL AND THE BATTERY FULLY CHARGED. THE SERVICE RECIEPT STATES THE DTCM HAD AN ACTIVE CODE C2502-64 AND THEY FLASHED DTCM WITH LATEST FLASH NUMBER AND CLEARED CODES.

PRESS REMOTE TO LOCK DOORS, REAR DON'T LOCK, TRIED AGAIN THEN FRONT DOESN'T LOCK. SO NOW CAR WON'T OPEN OR LUCK WITH REMOTE. I REPROGRAM LOCKS ON UCONNECT STILL DOESN'T WORK. YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY RECALL . IF YOU HAVE KIDS IN BACK THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT UNLESS YOU REACH INSIDE VEHICLE TO OPEN. HOPE THE CAR DOESN'T CATCH FIRE WITH KIDS IN BACK. KEY IS ALSO HARD TO PUT IN IGNITION AND TAKE OUT.(BATTERIES IN REMOTE ARE FINE I CHECKED FULL POWER). I THINK THE MANUFACTURERS ARE IN A HURRY TO RELEASE THE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY ARE PROPERLY TESTED.

BOUGHT RENEGADE SPORT FWD APRIL 28, 2015. 1. DOOR LOCKS/KEY-FOB STOPPED WORKING BY JUNE 1ST. TOOK TO DEALER, SAID CHRYSLER KNEW OF ISSUE, TRYING TO GET A "PERMANENT" FIX, BUT A TEMP FIX WAS TO RE-SET THE COMPUTER SYSTEM; THEY DID AND IT LASTED LESS THAN 2 HOURS. HAVE TO USE KEY TO UNLOCK DRIVER DOOR, THEN REACH AROUND AND UNLOCK/LOCK THE OTHER 3 DOORS BY HAND ONCE INSIDE THE CAR. "LUCKILY", THE KEY-FOB STILL LOCKS/UNLOCKS THE REAR LIFT GATE. 2. REAR WIPER BLADE TURNS ON RANDOMLY WHEN FRONT WIPERS ARE ON. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE REAR WIPER IS TO TURN OFF THE FRONT WIPERS, WAIT A FEW SECONDS, THEN TURN THEM BACK ON. 3. CAR SAT FOR 3 DAYS (JULY 15-17), AND BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED/DEAD. KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, THEY TRIED TO JUMP IT WITH A JUMP-BOX, JEEP WOULDN'T TURN OVER, SO HAD TO JUMP WITH THE TOW TRUCK'S BATTERY CONNECTED TO JUMPER CABLES AND AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE ELECTRICAL GADGETS STARTED TO WORK, AND SEVERAL MINUTES LATER ON THE CHARGE, IT FINALLY TURNED OVER. 4. CAR TRANSMISSION "JERKING" WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (APPROX. 5 MPH). THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY BRAND NEW CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK INTO GEAR. THE CAR BECAME IMMOBILIZED AND HAD TO GET TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL VALVE AND DID NOT TEST FOR TRANSMISSION OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, SO THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE IN THE CAR BECAUSE TWO UPDATES WERE AVAILABLE. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT BROKE DOWN FOR A THIRD TIME, AGAIN AFTER ONLY 2 DAYS. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND CHRYSLER IS RELUCTANT TO BUYBACK THE VEHICLE.
