| Description of the problem | The first initial occurrence happened jun 12th 2017 while driving on the highway, the jeep renegade began accelerating and decelerating. It then began to jerk uncontrollable and the vehicle itself would turn off on its own. Several icons came on the vehicle's dashboard one being a light bolt symbol and the other indicating that the vehicle was overheating. The vehicle was towed to an authorized chrysler dealership and i was told that the issue had been completely resolved. On july 22, 2017 the jeep renegade for the second time while driving on a very busy highway began to have the same issue and turned off and lost its complete power. I had to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle would not engage no matter the attempts i would try to turn on the renegade. I waited for awhile until the towing company came to load up the vehicle, during this time the towing man could not get the vehicle to turn on and engage no matter how many attempts he made. On both incidents my family was in the vehicle with me and on both incidents the vehicle turned off on its own traveling at speed limits above 50mph. I have been in continuous contact with the manufacture jeep, the local dealership perkins motor in colorado springs, colorado. I am currently an active duty in the army and have been having continuous trouble with the jeep. I dropped off the jeep renegade at the local chrysler approved dealership on july 22, 2017 and still to this date august 19, 2017, the dealership still cannot find the root of the issue. I fear that if i were to receive the vehicle back upon the repairs for the second time for the same vehicle problem from jun 12, 2017 that the vehicle can cause harm to either some other road pedestrian, to my family, or to myself the operator of the vehicle. To this day the dealership still cannot find the root of the problem with the vehicle. |
