NHTSA Complaint #11309314 — 2017 JEEP RENEGADE

VEHICLE HAS 14000 MILES, HAS STALLED SIX TIMES IN 13 MONTHS. MOST RECENTLY, DRIVING LESS THAN ONE BLOCK AWAY, MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND LOST ALL POWER, DASH INSTRUCTIONS STATED THAT VEHICLE MUST BE IN P TO SHIFT GEARS. I WAS NOT SHIFTING GEARS. VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHUT OFF, WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL ATTEMPTED THREE TIMES. THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE BUT ABSOLUTELY SHOULD AS IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED JEEP RENEGADES. THIS IS EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE OR THAT IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE AGAIN. MY OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WILL TELL ME WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE, DEALERSHIP SAYS NOT TO FOLLOW THE MANUAL, TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP OF A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. PURCHASED BRAND NEW AT $27000, NOW WORTH $14000 AND I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT WITHOUT RISKING STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE? HOPEFULLY IT WON'T TAKE FATALITIES TO WIDEN THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE.
