NHTSA Complaint #11182075 — 2018 JEEP RENEGADE

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A RURAL AREA ROAD, GOING DOWNHILL AND WAS PRECEDING TO TURN RIGHT. I RECEIVE A WARNING THAT I HAD LOW OIL PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. I READ OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE TO SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY , BUT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO ME THIS TIME. WHEN YOU CHECK THE OIL IT IS IN FACT LOW. THE ENGINES OIL CONSUMPTION IS RIDICULOUS. YOUR ENGINE MAY CONSUME OVER THREE QUARTERS OF THE REQUIRED OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. MINE WAS BARELY TOUCHING THE DIP STICK AND THE VEHICLE HOLDS 5.5 QUARTS OF OIL. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT HELPFUL AS THEY SAY IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE ENGINE AND THEY WILL JUST DOCUMENT IT IF I HAVE TROUBLE LATER ON. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO ANY NEW VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT COMMON FOR A VEHICLE TO USE THREE QUARTERS OF THE REQUIRED OIL WITHIN AN OIL CHANGE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 5,249 MILES ON IT AND THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. AS A CONSUMER WE SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO KEEP CHECK OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION ON A VEHICLE THAT IS BRAND NEW.
