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…

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 …

2015 JEEP RENEGADE: VEHICLE SHIFTS HARD; LIKE A CANON. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED AN UPDATE. PROBLEM STILL NOT FIXED. VEHICLE MAKES A RINGING SOUND LIKE A PHONE WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65 MILES PER HOUR. VEHICLE RATTLES A LOT ESPECIALLY IN THE SPEAKER AREAS AND ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT AREA. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM FIGURE OUT THE RATTLES THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND IT. THE SEATS DO NOT HEAT UP WELL. WHEN IT IS TURNED ON HIGH, IT FEELS LIKE IT IS ON THE LOW SETTING STILL. WHEN THE ST…

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 UPWA…

FOR THE FOURTH TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SERVICE AT THE DEALER , AND FOR THE FOURTH TIME THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED RECEIVED A 'SERVICE POWER STEERING' DASHBOARD MESSAGE....AND THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER STEERING.

I AM OF COURSE CONCERNED THAT MY POWER STEERING COULD FAIL WHILE I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPEN ONE TIME A…
