2015 Jeep Renegade Speed Control & Cruise Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that after having an oil change, the engine started to misfire. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle decelerated to 15 MPH and failed to accelerate as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that a multi-air actuator replacement was needed. The part was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that DTC: P0304, P106B, and P1064 were retrieved and were related to the failure. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.

The Evaporative Emissions System (EVAP system), including components such as the charcoal canister, purge valve, and/or fuel tank venting system, appears to be malfunctioning. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. After refueling the vehicle completely, it will stall or shut off unexpectedly while driving, which could cause a collision, particularly in traffic or at highway speeds. This sudden loss of power places myself, my passengers, and other drivers at significant risk. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent mechanic, but not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. No warning lights, error messages, or advance symptoms were present prior to the vehicle stalling. The issue first occurred around 2022.

WAS DRIVING TO NEWNAN, GA ON HIGHWAY WHEN CAR JUMPED INTO NEUTRAL CAUSING CAR TO SLOW ALMOST ENDING IN A REAR-END COLLUSION. I AM A CANCER PATIENT AND DRIVE FROM BROOKLET, GA TO NEWNAN GA FOR TREATMENT. ALSO WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS RECALL DUE TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SPEED WILL SHIFT KIND OF LIKE FROM NEUTRAL TO FIRST AND SO FOR. WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AND STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL BUT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME AND ALMOST PRODUCES A CRASH. WHILE ON THE TURNPIKE I TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROMPTLY, IT FEELS AS IF IT GETS STUCK AND THEN IT GIVES A BIG KICK. WHILE AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN ON OTHER DAYS, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND GIVES A KICK AND PROCEEDS TO MOVE IN A SLOW MOTION THEN GIVE ANOTHER KICK AND CONTINUE TO MOVE. IT FEELS AS IF THE SHIFT SHIFTS ON THEIR OWN AND ACCELERATION DOES NOT RESPOND ON TIME. ANOTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT AND I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. IT WAS MY TURN TO GO AND AS I SLOWLY ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE WILL GIVE A KICK AND PROCEED TO MOVE SLOWLY. ON ANOTHER INSTANCE, I STOPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I PROCEEDED TO MOVE, THE CAR GAVE ANOTHER SLOW KICK AND EVENTUALLY DECIDED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW INTENSE I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR IT STILL TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO RESPOND AND AVCTUALLY STARTS ACCELERATING. IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEMS AND AM GENUINELY SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR I FEEL ONE DAY IT MIGHT NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR ON THE ROAD. WHILE AM PARKED ND CHANGE THE SHIFT FROM PARKING TO DRIVE, THE CAR AGAIN GIVES A QUICK AND THEN DECIDES TO MOVE. IT'S A SCARY EXPERIENCE TO FEEL THAT THE CAR I DRIVE AND AM.PAYING FOR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON TIME WHILE ON THE ROAD, AT A GREEN LIGHT, ON TURNPIKE WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC OR WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF MY PARKING LOT.

WHEN I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE WILL NOT SPEED UP. I PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT KEEPS GOING AT THE SAME SPEED. WHEN I BRAKE IT PULLS, LIKE IF I WAS REPEATEDLY PRESSING AND LETTING GO OF THE BRAKES. THE WHEELS HAVE WORN OUT TWICE, HAVING HAD NEW CARS BEFORE AND DRIVING THE SAME ROADS AND DISTANCE I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE FIXED MY BREAKS ONCE WICH IS UNUSUAL FOR HOW NEW THIS CAR IS AND NOW MY BREAKS ARE MAKING SQUEAKING NOISE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PROBLEM. THE TRACTION CONTROL RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND CUTS SPEED WHILE DRIVING. ALMOST BEEN IN 3 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF IT. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE- STAR CASE #1608000252 AND SAYS ENGINEERING IS WORKING ON THE ISSUE BUT IN THE MEANTIME WANT ME TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS AT RISK. *TR
