"Complaint Summary: I brought my 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk (VIN: [XXX] ) to AutoNation CDJR Roseville on May 17, 2025, for the U90 emissions recall. The catalytic converter was replaced, and the PCM software was updated."
"recently while driving to work at a traffic light as i rolled i heard my car start to accelerate and the check engine light came on. I began to observe, and found out that the gearbox does this when it is downshifted from 5th to 4th gear. of course I didn't hit the car in front several times."
"Jan. 5 2020: service engine appeared while driving. i drove 2 miles from work to home and my jeep would not accelerate up my angled driveway. i was pressing the accelerator but the vehicle was slowly going backward. i coasted backward to a level area and put the vehicle in park."
