| Description of the problem | When driving the car and entering the on ramp to the freeway the car lost the ability to accelerate. It appeared the gas peddle was inactive and the car was in neutral. It notified me with a light "electronic stability control" then the car suddenly went back into gear. I was concerned but was lead to believe this was part of the design. Suddenly without warning and for no reason at 25k miles the battery suddenly died. All lights came on in the car. It had no power and would not turn on. The dealership said "the battery just failed". In aug i was shocked to turn on the car and have a message that says "change oil" well before an oil change is due. This was the first time i had seen this light because i am always on time with car maintenance. The $84. 77 seems to have been spent on an unnecessary oil change, if this continues i will not be able to afford the constant oil changes. Mostly recently and most concerning on tuesday the 29th of sep. I was leaving for a medical appointment and when i turned on the car it said every light in the car was out. My neighbor came over and verified that i was missing several lights. The car was inoperable and i was stranded. I was able to get a ride, but when i got home a few hours later, i turned on the car and all the lights worked perfectly fine. With the above mentioned i am concerned for my safety, for the safety of others i share the road with, and the reliability of my 2016 jeep renegade |
