NHTSA Complaint #11309987 — 2018 JEEP RENEGADE

VEHICLE SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING. CHANGED OIL AT 12000 MILES. AT 14,500 MILES THE VEHICLE FLASHED A LOW OIL PRESSURE SIGN AND SHUT OFF WHILE MOVING ON A 45MPH ROAD. IT THEN STRUGGLED TO RESTART. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO OIL. I AM NOW DOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PER THE DEALERSHIP'S INSTRUCTIONS AND THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED ON THE 3RD TEST (16000 MILEAGE) AFTER 1500 MILES THAT THE VEHICLE BURNED A QUART OF OIL SO FAR. WE ARE CONTINUING THE TESTS. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WARN OF LOW OIL OR GIVE WARNING WHEN IT IS SHUTTING OFF. IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION, LEAVING THE DRIVER TO ATTEMPT TO COAST TO A SAFE AREA. THE DASH WILL THEN READ 'PLACE GEAR IN P AND PRESS BUTTON TO TURN ON' THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE - THE FIRST TIME THAT REQUIRED THE OIL CHANGE AT 12000 IN NOVEMBER 4, 2019 AND THE SECOND AT 14,500 ON DECEMBER 31, 2019. IN SUMMARY, THE VEHICLE BURNED THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN A LITTLE OVER 2000 MILES AND SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, AND IS BEGINNING THE PROCESS AGAIN WHILE BEING MONITORED UNDER THE DEALERSHIP.
