Jeep Renegade acceleration issue with high RPM but no power on Jeep Renegade

Some Jeep Renegade owners report experiencing acceleration issues characterized by high RPMs with no power. These problems may indicate potential transmission issues, requiring the vehicle to coast until the transmission reengages or necessitating a restart of the engine in neutral to regain accelerator response. Additionally, a faulty torque converter could be linked to poor acceleration, with symptoms such as vibrations or elevated RPMs while driving. Various components, including a clogged air filter, dirty mass air flow sensor, fuel system problems, faulty oxygen sensor, dirty throttle body, worn spark plugs, or a clogged catalytic converter, may also contribute to slow acceleration. If the RPMs increase without the vehicle accelerating, it is likely a transmission-related issue rather than an engine problem. To resolve these concerns, it is recommended that owners have their transmission system, torque converter, and engine components inspected and serviced by a qualified mechanic.
