Consumer Description

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IN THREE MONTH MY VEHICLE HAS LOCKED UP, TOLD ME TO SWITCH GEARS AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS! THE CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS DESPITE GETTING THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES. MY OIL WAS JUST CHANGED 2,000 MILES AGO. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! HUNDREDS OF RENEGADE OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. DANGEROUS! I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS CAR IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD AND SHUTTING OFF?
