NHTSA Complaint #11399641 — 2018 JEEP RENEGADE

2018 JEEP RENEGADE (2.4L) AUTOMATIC 4CYL 2WD WITH UNDER 20,000 MILES AT THE TIME IT FIRST STARTED SEIZING UP MID-DRIVE, BACK IN OCTOBER. THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I ALMOST DIED! I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AFTER THAT, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER SOFTWARE ISSUE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY RESET BUT HERE WE ARE MONTHS LATER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE THE ENGINE SEIZED AND I WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD! MY PASSENGER AND I ARE LUCKY TO EVEN BE ALIVE AFTER THAT INCIDENT! I NOTICED THAT THE LOW OIL-PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A HALF-SECOND WHEN TURNING A HARD CORNER THEN GOES AWAY. AFTER LOOKING UP TO SEE THAT THERE IS A "CURRENT CAMPAIGN FOR REPAIRS" I HAVE SCHEDULED AN EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT (WHY NOT A RECALL? THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS!) FROM MY RESEARCH BASED ON INFORMATION FROM SEVERAL SOURCES, IT LOOKS LIKE UPDATING/REPROGRAMMING THE PCM SOFTWARE IS NOT ENOUGH TO FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THIS IS A FAULTY ENGINE ISSUE AND I NEED MY ENGINE TO BE REPLACED TO ENSURE MY PERSONAL SAFETY IN A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. I HAVE GONE INTO DEBT JUST TO BUY THE VEHICLE, THE LEAST DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP CAN DO IS ENSURE THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED. THE LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE ARE AT RISK, HERE. I'VE READ THE DETAILS OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
