Hi!

I completely agree with @montecarlossfan .

@puddlesplasher Thats good news about the GoPedal. I believe I’ll be giving that a go once I get my hands on the Renee again.

I will agree with everything said here and would like to add something about the way we all drive and the auto start/stop feature.

This is the third vehicle I own with this feature, all of which are Chrysler/Jeep/FCA and have noticed something that I am trying to avoid/test out in my Rene.

When at a complete stop and the auto start/stop engages, when the light turns green, if I hit the throttle right away eventually I will experience a clunk/jump when the tranny kicks in and while shifting during movement.

However, if I just wait a second after the engine starts, nothing. It shifts perfectly.

So far, I have been good as I have been aware of this while driving and I have learned to control my really heavy foot a bit more.

This must be a feature of newer models? My ‘17 Limited with the 2.4L doesn’t have this.

Yeah, they recommend this because they use cheap oil and more changes means more money. If you use good quality synthetic and a matching filter there is no reason you can't go 8 to 10k between changes.
I am sympathetic of the transmission problem. Keep in mind that any new vehicle has the potential for these challenges. Have heart and good luck working it out.

Agreed and agreed. On a Yukon forum I’m on the new Yukon’s are having all sorts of issues. Definitely not just a Jeep thing.
