NHTSA Complaint #11309413 — 2018 JEEP RENEGADE

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT ONTO A ROAD AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE DRIVE TRAIN AND HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN RIGHT TURN INTO A SUBDIVISION THAT WAS TO MY IMMEDIATE RIGHT. I COULD STILL STEER; WHICH WAS HOW I PULLED MYSELF OFF THE ROAD INTO THE SUBDIVISION IMMEDIATELY AFTER MAKING THE TURN ONTO THE ROAD. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL WHEN I CAME TO A STOP INSIDE THE SUBDIVISION. IT READ THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK. I WAS ON MY WAY TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGE DONE. THE CAR WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE TIME. I WAS TAKING IT IN FOR THE OIL CHANGE 100 MILES BEFORE THE DUE DATE. A WEEK EARLIER AND THE DAY BEFORE THE CAR DISPLAYED A LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR ON THE DISPLAY. THOSE WERE THE FIRST TIMES IN MY LIFE I'VE SEEN THAT MESSAGE. I CONTACTED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT OF THE TRONCALLI JEEP DODGE DEALERSHIP I HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM LATER THAT DAY. I ASKED WHY THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE MAN I SPOKE TO SAID PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW THE ENGINE WAS MADE. IN WHICH THE ENGINE COULD STALL IF THE OIL LEVEL IS HALF A QUART OVER OR UNDER THE MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM LEVEL. THAT WAS THE 1ST INSTANCE OF MY VEHICLE STALLING.
