Consumer Description

2017 JEEP RENEGADE ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING, OFTEN AFTER MAKING TURNS, AND IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL STREETS AT SLOWER SPEEDS, AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NORMAL AND A "FEATURE" OF THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE IF OIL LEVELS GET TOO LOW. WE REGULARLY CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3,000 - 4,000 MILES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO OIL LEAKS DETECTED.
