2015 Jeep RENEGADE problems and owner complaints

MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH JUST BOUGHT 2015 JEEPS WITH THEIR 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THESE CARS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THESE VEHICLES IN SNOW. THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP OR ARE SLOWLY IDLING FORWARD. IT IS VERY SCARY AND PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. IT IS ALL RELATED TO THE 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. JEEP KNOWS IT IS AN ISSUE (HAVING RECALLED VEHICLES TO DO NUMEROUS FLASHES), BUT IT IS NOT RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. …

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 …

I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW AND HAD IT FOR 6 DAYS. WE DROVE FROM DENVER TO BRECKINRIDGE. WE WERE COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF GOING 70 MILES AN HOUR. AT ONE POINT THE HYDRAULICS WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. WE PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO START UP THE CAR AGAIN. WE PROCEEDED ON, THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE ALTITUDE AND WAS A FLUKE. NO, IT HAPPENED TO US AGAIN. THE SAME THING. THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN GOING 70 AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. IT WAS TERRIFYING. THE CAR WAS…

ON SEPTEMBER 24TH I WAS DRIVING AND THE FLOOR MAT GOT PUSHED FORWARD AND WRAPPED AROUND THE EXPOSED STEERING COLUMN. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET TO GET OUT AND MANUALLY PULL THE FLOOR MAT OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR EVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEN, JANUARY 15TH I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE IMPERIAL DUNES AREA ON THE WAY TO CALIFORNIA AND THE HARD PLASTIC STRIP THAT COVERS THE ROOF RACK HARDWARE (I DO NOT HAVE A ROOF RACK SO JEEP PUT A STRIP IN THERE TO COVER THE HARDWARE) BROKE IN …

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, HOWEV…
