I have a 2020 TH and I have the same problems with the transmission shifting and being sluggish. I noticed when I am at a complete stop and start to go the vehicle hesitates. Also, the vehicle does not shift at the right time both upshifting and downshifting. I have heard about the GoPedal but when you buy a brand new vehicle you expect it to work correctly without having to add extras and spend more money on top of your monthly payment. The dealer checked the transmission and told me it's fine but logged it in my service record. At my next oil change which by the way, the dealer recommends at every 5,000 miles and not 10,000 miles as stated in the manual, I will have them check the transmission again.

Oh yeah, forgot to say I have the 1.3 turbo.

I turn off the gas saving mode everytime I use the vehicle. The acceleration is worse with it on however turning it off does not improve the hesitation or the transmission issue.

Well, auto stop/start isn't turned off all the time -- it has to be turned off by pushing the button for each driving cycle.

With it turned off, there would be marginally-higher fuel consumption, and maybe marginally-faster acceleration from a stop.

Do current manual-transmission Renegades have this?

Just in case you were wondering. According to the OBD my average is 26.7 MPG for the last 158 miles.
