NHTSA Complaint #11179813 — 2017 JEEP RENEGADE

IN MOTION UPON DECEL/ACCEL AT A STOP SIGN AND THEN TO PROCEED, THE ENGINE DIES. YOU HAVE TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND RE-CRANK, THEN TRY TO PROCEED. NO LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON FOR ANY WARNING THAT MY ENGINE WAS LOW ON OIL OR THAT MY ENGINE WOULD DO AN AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN TO SAVE THE ENGINE. I WAS 2000 MILES OVER MY RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE (I OWN THIS MISTAKE) AND WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS FOUND TO LOW AND THAT THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE WAS MADE TO SHUT DOWN TO SAVE IT FROM BURNING UP. HOWEVER, NO WARNINGS, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS, JUST A SHUTOFF OF THE POWER TO VEHICLE UPON SLOWING TO STOP AND/OR RE-ACCELERATE. TROUBLE TO THINK I WOULD GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW MY OIL WAS TOO LOW AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. SO, MAJOR DEAL.... I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE TYPE OF 2.4 LT ENGINE THAT WAS USING IN THIS PARTICULAR JEEP MODEL. I GET THAT, BUT NO INDICATOR LIGHT IS TROUBLESOME. TOOK IT ON MONDAY THE 11TH TO JEEP DEALER IN CARTERSVILLE, GA.
