| Description of the problem | Posting this incident due to seeing so many other similar issues with the renegade windshield. I leased the renegade under a great deal of pressure in july 2016. Now i am seeing why. It is a dangerous piece of junk. Issue: i was driving the vehicle during week two with a friend that was a witness. We were on a dry, clear road with two other cars, something flew up and dinged the windshield and the windshield cracked. Had to make claim to get it repaired. Company did a patch, but the star crack is still in the lower part of my vision. Since this is a lease i likely will need to have the entire windshield replaced. I haven't had any claims or tickets in well over thirty years. I have had jeeps and other chrysler vehicles my entire life and never have i had a windshield crack with less than 300 miles on it. With the other engine issues and stalling issues this vehicle is a death trap. Going to tape a note to the back of the vehicle that the "this renegade stalls and turns off without warning. Please don't hit me." (reported in other incident reports.) |
