NHTSA Complaint #11307339 — 2017 JEEP RENEGADE

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE, WHICH HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. A MESSAGE WILL SHOW ON THE DASH THAT SAYS 'SHIFT VEHICLE TO PARK' OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. I WILL GO FROM DRIVING NORMALLY, TO HAVING 0 RPMS WHILE I'M STILL MOVING. I TURN THE CAR OFF. I WAIT A MINUTE. I TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT WON'T START, IT JUST KEEPS CRANKING. EVENTUALLY, AND AFTER MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS AND FEAR OF RUINING THE STARTER, I MANAGE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, BUT BARELY. WHEN IT DOES FINALLY START, I WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND AM THEN ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN THE PAST YEAR. IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT I SCHEDULE MY VEHICLE FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES AS RECOMMENDED, BUT I OFTEN GET AN OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING, SOMETIMES RIGHT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLS. I OFTEN HAVE TO ADD QUARTS OF OIL TO MY VEHICLE, EVEN WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I DRIVE AN AVERAGE OF 12,000 MILES A YEAR AND I DO NOT ABUSE MY VEHICLE. WHEN RESEARCHING MY PROBLEM I CAME ACROSS TWO REMARKABLY SIMILAR ISSUES IN OTHER 2017 JEEP RENEGADES. THESE TWO RECALLS DO NOT SHOW UP WHEN I CHECK MY VEHICLE'S VIN AGAINST ACTIVE RECALLS. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE AND I AM ASKING THAT YOU BROADEN YOUR SCOPE FOR THIS ISSUE IN JEEP RENEGADES, BECAUSE I OR MY FAMILY COULD BE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING.
