2017 Jeep RENEGADE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1590202
Internal NHTSA #	11242469
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	RENEGADE
Model Year	2017
File date	06/08/19
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Gas pedal/acceleration will not engage when vehicle is in reverse, in a certain circumstance. This happens every time after i first start the vehicle, place it in reverse, and coast/roll backwards (out of my driveway, into the road, into traffic). Slamming my foot on the gas pedal results in no acceleration, so i just roll slowly into the road. Vehicle will accelerate normally after i then shift to drive. Not being able to quickly accelerate in reverse when leaving for work every morning is an obvious safety concern. I took this to my dealership, and they were able to replicate the issue. They then tested this issue on 2016 renegade, 2017 renegade, and 2018 renegade. The 2016 and 2017 renegades had this same issue. The 2018 renegade reportedly did not have this issue. My dealership spoke with a jeep engineer that has investigated this issue before, and tried replacing the entire transmission system as a solution. That didn't fix the issue, so the engineer claims that it's "working as designed." clearly it's designed unsafely. I have included my dealership's notes indicating that they were able to reproduce the issue and my (and other) renegades. And that they ended up diagnosing this as "issue is normal no problem found."

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
