2015 Jeep Renegade vehicle speed control 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.”

“The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that after having an oil change, the engine started to misfire. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle decelerated to 15 MPH and failed to accelerate as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that a multi-air actuator replacement was needed. The part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that DTC: P0304, P106B, and P1064 were retrieved and were related to the failure. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.”

“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.”

“I SENT 1 SERVICE RECORD. I HAVE 3 MORE IF NEEDED. JEEP STILL IS UNSAFE I WAS ON A BUSY STREET AT 5PM AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I PUT FOOT ON GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE THEN IT STARTED OUT INCHING AWAY AND FINALLY GOT MOVING.IT TOOK AT LEAST 8 OR 10 SECONDS TO GET PASSED THE GREEN LIGHT AND THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS WAY TO CLOSE AND COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT 4 OR 5 TIMES AND ALL THATS BEEN DONE IS UPDATES AND REPLACED A VALVE BODY PART. I HAVE AN ATTORNEY AND FILED SUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER. 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 ARE NOT SAFE.THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION AND STILL NO RECALL. ITS BEEN 4 YRS WITH THIS JEEP RUNNING LIKE ITS 30 YRS OLD AND I AM PAYING 41000 FOR IT. DO MISSOURI A FAVOR,GET THESE 9SPEED TRANSMISSIONS OFF THE ROAD, THEY ARE CAUSING MAJOR STRESS AND HARDSHIPS TO THE OWNERS. THE SPEED IN THIS JEEP IS UNPREDICTABLE. I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING AT…”

“IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN DO NOT LOAD THEM IN THIS JEEP! WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP WILL STRUGGLE TO GET UP TO SPEED AND SOUNDED LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED AT A HIGH SPEED. I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP TO SEE IF SOMETHING FELL OFF. TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE ITS SLIPPING. NOT EVERY TIME BUT IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN IT HAS MADE ME FEEL UNSAFE AND I DO NOT GO OUT OF TOWN OR LONG TRIPS OVER 45 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. . EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND ASK WHATS GOING ON THEY SAY ITS HOW THE JEEP RENEGADE WAS MADE, ITS NORMAL FOR IT TO DO ALL THIS.”
