| Description of the problem | Driving home from work, i was stationary on a coty street with oncoming traffic, waiting at the light to make a left turn. When the light changed, i let off the brake and at the very beginning of applying pressure to the gas pedal to accelerate, the renegade stalled with no warning, no warning lights. Under 16,000 miles and not due for an oil change for around 500 miles. I had to put on my flashers, press the stop button and then restarted by applying my foot to the brake and pushing the start button. The dealer checked the wiring harness (per my request as others have posted having this issue and stated the wiring harness was the problem). They stated they checked everything and found nothing other than the renegade to be a quart low on oil and this was the cause of the stall/ shut down. They stated this has happened with some jeep cherokees as well. This is not safe at all, to have a vehicle stall with no warning, no warning lights while in the middle of traffic. I feel it's just a matter of time before someone stalls and is hit by another driver because of this, causing injury or death. |
