Consumer Description
I have a 2018 Jeep Renegade that I purchased about a year ago. I was alerted of a safety recall (W80) via text message by the dealership I bought the car from. The made me aware of an oil consumption problem. Meanwhile, I had been experiencing issues with the car where it would flash a low oil message on the dashboard screen and then stalled in the middle of the road. To allow for time to get the car serviced, I was adding oil to the engine and checking it frequently and adding more oil as needed. This issue began before I was alerted of the recall and I had made an appointment to take the car in for service. I took the car to my closest certified Jeep servicing center. They told me that they would have to do an oil change (at my expense) and that I would need to come back to the dealership after driving the car an additional 15,000 miles. I told them that the car was most certainly going to stall prior to reaching 15, 000 miles and that I did not feel safe driving the car as it could stall at any moment and put my life in danger.
