Vehicle was in forward motion making a left turn at a traffic light when the automatic transmission shifted to neutral. Dashboard alert came on that the vehicle would have to be stopped before it could be shifted. Had to stop the vehicle, shift to park, turn the vehicle off and turn it back on before it would shift back into drive.

Hesitating, rough shifting and stalling. Will hesitate so bad when starting from a stopped position, and going into 2nd gear (9 gear trans) that I've been rear ended, in traffic, because my car has essentially stopped. Only 41,000 miles. Worst is when fully stopped and are only slightly accelerating to about 15 mph. Such as in traffic, a parking lot, or turning. Has stalled in middle of a intersection while turning. Won't restart for approximately 20 mins has been to dealer 3 times. They've "fixed it" each time. Have finally approved a new trans

Hard shifts in the first few gears ( hard jurks) and also clunks.. when moving shifter into and out of park, nuterual, reverse and drive it clunks.. hesitates to shift when stopped or slow moving. When on highway has alot of dragged has hard time keeping speed and when passing it take the vehicle few seconds to speed up, have to push peddle to the floor and after few seconds it finally speeds up. In cruise control its constantly having a hard time keeping its speed constantly jumping into higher gears to catch up to the set cruise setting. 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.

The transmission of my vehicle has been doing hard shifts and, at times, not shifting at all when the gas petal is pressed which has subsequently has almost caused major accidents. The RPM gauge rotates exceedingly high to the point of the feeling of stalling out before the vehicle actually shifts into gear, especially when in high traffic, stop and go roads such as cities where breaking and accelerating are frequent. When the vehicle does finally shift into gear, it feels as though the back of the vehicle has been hit because it lurches forward in such an extreme and forceful manner. This problem has been complained upon by many 2015 Renegade owners and upon bringing the car in for maintenance, are told its 'just the way the car is built' or 'it's performing as it's supposed to'. I believe this is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed and investigated for a solution before harm comes to the occupants or other nearby motorists.

The transmission is causing safety issues. When accelerating after a very slow crawl or stop, the engine shuts off. No warning lights, no sounds or any indication that its about to shut off. This happens sporadically. Also, when accelerating after a very slow crawl or stop, the vehicle lags and jolts forward. Feels like someone has hit you from behind. No warning lights, no sounds or any indication this is about to happen. This also happens sporadically. There were a few near-accidents due to the vehicle shutting off or lunging in intersections. It has happened on city streets and freeways.it was taken into the dealership to survey. It died in their parking lot twice. They claimed it was the oil, the battery, electronics, or that it was driven awkwardly, etc. They have held the vehicle for over 30days, did software fixes, changed the oil, changed the battery. I also went through the Chrysler dispute resolution. Which was unfavorable to myself due to dealership claiming nothing was wrong. Dealership did not notate true experiences with the vehicle to Chrysler. Vehicle still stalled and lunged thereafter. I refused to drive it due to safety reasons and had dealership buy it back at bluebook value so that I could purchase a safe reliable vehicle. There is a class action suit regarding the transmission. I did not claim into the class action suit because at the time, I was in the process of the dispute resolution.

The vehicle would go into neutral while driving on the highway and also would make a loud noise when going into reverse. When the vehicle would go into neutral while driving, I would put the shifter back in drive and it would make a loud banging noise of some sort. I definitely don't feel safe in this vehicle whatsoever.

I parked my Renegade in a store parking area, came out of the store and restarted my car. The car let me drive 1/4 mile then at a stop light I changed gears and the car would not go into any gear. It will not shift into a gear, including reverse. The clutch pedal works. The car will move in limbo gear slowly if I attempt to drive it. I have no idea what gear or how fast it will go. This is dangerous when driving. I'm glad I was at a stop light when it happened and not while shifting the gears.

- Rochester, NY, USA

I was driving on the freeway and my car started losing power then started jerking and shaking the car. I couldn't speed up, I could hear the engine revving up but nothing. I had to pull over and turn off car and start back up, I still couldn't hit 60mph I the freeway so I got off the freeway and took the streets home. When running the car under 30mph the car was fine but once I hit the higher gears my car would shake or just down shift on its on.

Jeep is consistently jumping into gear when placed in reverse. Most recently, while at a stop light, with my foot on the break it lung forward! (ungood). While driving, periodically gets stuck in a gear. (?). at least twice, the car has refused to turn over upon ignition engagement. Since I have obtained the Jeep, anything that has to do with the stereo gives me intermittent signals/sound, inclusive of the usb connections etc. (not a good experience). The driver's seatbelt for some reason occasionally will not latch. Something in the undercarriage sounds as if it is going to fall of or break at any time especially when going over bumps or ruff terrain.

- Memphis, TN, USA

Takata recall. I have been experiencing for years that the car jerks when I change gears or when I push on the gas to excelerate while on the freeway. Also when I turn on my car and change gear it jerks. I can feel the jerks not in motion and when in motion.

- Lemon Grove, CA, USA

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.

This has been happening for several months.took the vehicle into service department and was told they updated the transmission module and here we are several months later with the same issue. This is dangerous and someone could be killed

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the transmission downshifted into fourth gear on its own. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle was slow to gain speed and then surged suddenly. The contact also stated that the vehicle hesitated when approaching a stop and while turning in either direction. The vehicle was taken to two dealers: The vehicle was taken to two different dealers: Champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (4505 West 96th street, indianapolis, in 46268, (317) 872-6200) and tom O'brien Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram indianapolis (4630 E 96th St, indianapolis, in 46240, (317) 805-4400).

My check engine light came on and disabled my 4WD. All it needed was a thermostat. They told me anytime the service engine light comes on it will disable the 4WD. It doesn't matter what turns the check engine light on it will disable the 4WD. I tried going through the dealer, Jeep, Fiat, Chrysler. They told me there was a safety issue and it would disable the 4WD. I told them I bought a Jeep for it's 4WD capabilities. The check engine light should only disable 4WD if it is a drive train problem. They told me if the weather was bad I should stay home. What good is a 4WD if you can't depend on it. Jeep is rated off-road. I can't find any help in this matter. All it needs is a change in the command module.

Vehicle cuts power while turning and trying to accelerate at low speeds, such as while driving through an intersection. This has happened multiple times while accelerating from a stop light and making a left/right turn, or pulling out of a driveway into traffic. Symptoms are that the vehicle stops accelerating, loses power and slows to a stop for 5-10 seconds despite having the accelerator pedal consistently pushed. I have been almost hit when this occurs. It possibly has to do with the traction control system turning on inadvertently, since it occurs usually with uneven pavement. Dealership states they cannot find anything wrong with the transmission and have performed several software updates to no avail. This is the Fiat 9 speed automatic transmission.
