Consumer Description

MY JEEP RENEGADE MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH A CRACKED OIL PUMP HOUSING/BALANCE SHAFT MODULE (BSM), WHICH HAS CAUSED THE OIL PUMP TO FAIL AND THE ENGINE TO STALL.

I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION TO THE DEALERSHIP IN DEC 2019 AND MAR 2020. I HAPPENED TWO DOES AGO ON MAY 23RD IT COMPLETELY STOP ON MY FIANCEE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. WE ARE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR LIVES.
