| Description of the problem | I picked up my renegade from the service center yesterday for major issues with the auto shutting off while driving, blue-tooth, key fob, auto-start, acceleration and tire gauge issues. On the way back to work it felt like the brakes were grinding. As i was approaching a stop sign, the car was going around 15-20 mph and it lunged forward and stopped very hard and abruptly and the emergency brake then turned on, on its own. I turned it off and cautiously proceeded. Now, whenever i put the car in park, the emergency brake automatically turns on and the car feels rough while driving, like the brakes are partially engaged while i am driving. I have only put less than 10 miles on the jeep since picking it up yesterday. This is a real threat to my safety. This is my second complaint and the fourth major issue. Do i need to die in a crash before someone will listen to me and help? These cars need recalled and taken off the road. *tt *js |
