| Description of the problem | The 9-speed transmission causes the vehicle to lunge forward causing the vehicle to be unsafe. I would have rear end a dodge ram truck at a stop light; if my foot was not firmly on the brake. The lunging forward, and hard shifting happens randomly primarily on the downshifting, and when it's cold out. Other issues: when using the washer solvent fluid the vapors come back through the cabin, making the cabin air toxic to breath. The front driver side rotor and brake pad had to be changed; because they were deemed defective due to finding metal debris in the brake pad at about 3,100 miles when i reported the noise at the first oil change. Electrical: randomly the push start will not work, turn signal turning right will not work, and head lights would not automatically come on. This 2017 jeep renegade latitude 2. 4l has less than 6,000 miles. The transmission, washer solvent, and brakes started before the first oil change at 3,118 miles; however, the washer solvent was not report until later when i found out it is toxic, and i only used it about 3-times, and turned the air off each time. All deemed unable to duplicate except for one time or normal for the washer solvent issue. |
