2015 JEEP RENEGADE Service Brakes Problems

Airbag light just showed up on my dash, it won't go away with the reset.

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.

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...

I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS TURNED GREEN I PRESSED MY GAS PETAL BUT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN & WOULDN'T MOVE, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP & SO DID MY BRAKE, AIRBAG & PARK LIGHT. I WAS STUCK IN PARK FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AFTER WAITING MY CAR STARTED BACK TO NORMAL, BUT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES.

THE ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE USING THE BUTTON, BY DRIVING FORWARD OR REVERSE OR BY THE OVER ROSE SUGGESTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH AN EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGES. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE 4TH RENEGADE HE'D PICKED UP FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN TWO WEEKS. TOW TRUCK DRIVER EVEN CALLED DODGE TO SEE IF I WAS BY ANY CHANCE UNDER A RECALL YET. SEEMS LIKE THIS PART IS FAILING A LOT. MY RENEGADE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 30,000 MILES YET. THANKFULLY THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED.

WHEN I STOP AND PARK THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLS IN PARK BEFORE COMPLETELY STOPPING IN PARK

INITIAL TAKE OFF FROM A PARKED POSITION, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS HARD THROUGH GEARS 1-3 IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN IT KICKS HARD, OFTEN TIMES JERKING FORWARD AND NOT STOPPING. TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE IS A GRIND OR RUB WITHIN THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE PRESENT.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN APRIL 2018 WITH 15,000, ABOUT A MONTH AFTER DRIVING IT STARTED MAKING SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN I BRAKED, WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY A ROCK. IT DIDN'T STOP, SO I BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE, THEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM TO GET A TIRE KEY AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKES FOR FREE ONLY IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I BRAKE IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL IS CRUSHING TOGETHER, IT IS THE WORST SOUND AND IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE,SO I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN, AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THIS LAST TIME I MADE A SERVICE TECH GET IN THE CAR WITH ME AND HE AGREED THAT WAS NOT RIGHT AND THEN THE NEXT DAY HE CALLS ME AND SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG EVERYTHING LOOKS PERFECT. THEY THEN TELL ME THEY TEST DROVE THE OTHER RENEGADES IN THE LOT AND THEY ALL MAKE THE SAME SOUND WHEN YOU BRAKE, CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

THE ROTORS WEAR OUT BUT THE BRAKE PADS ARE STILL GOOD IT HAS ALREADY WORE OUT 2 SETS THE BRAKES GRAB AND STICK IT JERKS YOU HARD RIGHT OR LEFT.WE CANT GET THE COMPANY TO DO ANYTHING THEY ACT LIKE ITS OUR FAULT. ALSO IT SWAYS REALLY BAD IN THE REAR END FEELS LIKE YOUR RIDING A OLD MULE HOBBITY-HOE.ALSO THE TRANSMISSION HAS A DELAY IN SHIFT &SHIFTS REALLY HARD.THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES. WE ARE GOING TO GET HURT IN THIS VEHICLE AND CAN'T GET ANY HELP.

IN MY DRIVEWAY. I LOVE BEHIND MY MOM AND WHEN I STOP TO TALK WITH WHILE SHE IS IN THE YARD AND LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE COMES ON AND STOPS ME. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND STOP AT STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHTS OR JUST STUCK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF THE TRANSMISSION EITHER JERKS REAL HARD OR MAKES THE CAR FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. COOLING FAN HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WHEN THE VEHICLE WASN'T 2 YRS OLD.

AT 63K RIGHT FRONT BRAKE PAD, SHOE & ROTOR COMPLETELY WORN, ROTOR DAMAGED, ALL BEYOND USE, AND REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. LEFT FRONT BRAKE PAD, AND SHOE ARE NOT WORN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE FROM THE OTHER WHEEL, NEED REPLACED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS NO MECHANICAL PARKING BRAKE, WHICH WOULD SEEM TO BE A VIOLATION OF CFR-2010-TITLE 49-VO L5-SEC 393-41. THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE IS PRETTY WELL USELESS, AND NECESSARY SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AND A TINY (1.4L) ENGINE INCAPABLE OF HOLDING THE CAR ON A STEEP HILL. ERROR MASSAGE ABOUT ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE PROBLEMS KEEP POPPING UP, THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX IT DESPITE MANY REPEATED ATTEMPTS. EVEN WHEN WORKING, IT CANNOT BE USED TO TURN THE CAR ON SNOW, ICE., ETC. AS I SAID: USELESS.

ONGOING ISSUE, BUT TODAY I GOT IN MY JEEP AND ONCE AGAIN MY VEHICLE IS SHOWING THE TRANSMISSION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT GOES OUT OF GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL.. ON TOP OF THAT I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING. MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN/ MAINTAIN VEHICLE CONTROL. I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE CAR 'JUMPING HARD INTO GEAR' AS MY HUSBAND PUTS IT; ALONG WITH IT TAKING OFF REALLY FAST, IT'S ALSO BEEN SOUNDING REALLY LOUD AND SHAKING WHEN IT REACHES SPEEDS UPWARDS OF 65 AND REFUSING TO CHANGE GEARS FROM TIME TO TIME... HOWEVER WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE THE JEEP HAS CHANGED ITS OWN GEARS STARTING ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING CAUSING IT TO MOVE INTO THE PORCH AND CAUSE SOME COSMETIC DAMAGE, THIS WAS OUR FIRST RECORDING OF THE ISSUE. WE TOOK IT IN AND THEY 'UPDATED THE CPU' AND IT WORKED OK FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT HAS CONTINUALLY RETURNED TO HAVING THESE FAULTS AND HAS ONLY BEGAN TO WORSEN.. SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD TO REGULARLY GO IN FOR 'UPDATES' REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES AND MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES SUCH AS POWER LOCKS/POWER WINDOWS NOT RESPONDING AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING.. JUST LAST YEAR, LITERALLY 1 YEAR AND 1 DAY AGO WHILE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR BEGAN TO START ITS 'DEATH WOBBLE' AND DRIVERS REAR AXEL SNAPPED, CAUSING THE FRONT TO FOLLOW.. MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WHILE WAITING 2 MONTHS TO HAVE FIXED AND PAYING THE DEDUCTIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS JEEPS FAULT, HERE WE ARE AGAIN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL INSTANCES OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AND NOT ONLY FEAR FOR MY CHILDREN'S LIFE'S, BUT ALSO FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD. CAN WE FIX THESE ISSUES, OR AT LEAST SUPPLY ME WITH A VIABLE VEHICLE??

THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME, NOTHING IN FRONT, BESIDE, OR TURNING NEAR ME. THERE WERE NO ANIMALS IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE BRAKES TO LOCK UP. I WAS DRIVING A FRIEND HOME, ALL SHE NOTICED WAS THE THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON.

SETTING FOR AUTOMATIC TURN-ON OF ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT "HOLD" IN THE UCONNECT (RADIO) SETTINGS AS SET BY THE CONSUMER. THE SETTING REGARDING THE PARKING BRAKE TURNS ON BY ITSELF, MEANING THE PARKING BRAKE CAN COME ON BY ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SWITCHED OFF. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY SETTINGS INCLUDING CORNERING LIGHTS WHICH CHANGES AT THE COMPUTER'S WHIM. THIS SAME UCONNECT SYSTEM CAUSES THE MEASUREMENT OF MILES PER HOUR TO CHANGE TO KILOMETERS PER HOUR RANDOMLY, AND TIRE PRESSURE MEASUREMENT TO CHANGE FROM PSI TO BARS. THE AMOUNT OF TIME HEADLIGHTS REMAIN-ON AFTER ENGINE SHUT DOWN ALSO RANDOMLY CHANGES. THE RADIO/UCONNECT/"BRAIN" OF THE CAR HAS ALREADY HAD THE ONE UPDATE POSTED BY FCA INSTALLED TO PREVENT HACKING WHICH IS THE ONLY UPDATE FCA HAS AVAILABLE. THESE SETTINGS SEEM TO CHANGE RANDOMLY, OBSERVED MAINLY WHEN STARTING THE CAR, BUT THE DASHBOARD "UNITS OF MEASUREMENT" HAVE CHANGED ONCE WHILE IN MOTION.
