The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in for service, the mechanic informed of a possible engine oil consumption failure with the vehicle. After examining the vehicle several months later, it was confirmed that the engine oil was significantly lower than expected. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle overheated. The Engine Overheat message was displayed and the coolant warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and also to an independent mechanic on separate occasions, where it was diagnosed with a blown head gasket due to coolant intrusion into the cylinders. The vehicle was then towed to Jim Burke Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (1409 5th Ave N, Birmingham, AL 35203) where it was diagnosed that oil and coolant had mixed in the engine, causing damage to the radiator, engine, and thermostat. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at Jim Burke Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
I have a 2018 Jeep Sports Renegade and it burns through oil at an excessive rate. My vehicle stalls out on me often and says oil pressure low, shortly after oil changes. If I am traveling downhill and need to make a turn, no matter what speed, the car directs me to shift into park and restart. This has happened on numerous occasions that has almost got me into multiple accidents. Just yesterday, I turned on my car and drove down the hill to the stop sign, and it shut off on me. This is a very scary issue and now today I receive a piece of mail about a class action lawsuit regarding oil consumption, yet my VIN isn't included in any recalls?
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle started to lose motive power and then stalled. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to her destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced and needing an oil consumption test completed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.
My husband was driving our Jeep today and it just stopped two times without any warning. Once while just going down our driveway (about 1000 feet from our home) and the second times was while he was in town going around a round about intersection. He was able to pull over and the Jeep started right back up but it could have been a lot worse if he would have been in traffic or driving 65+ MPH.
Started from Feb 2022 till April 2022 I had 3 time lights came up and car stopped on the road while I was driving. The first time was low oil pressure came on, and second and third time were both about engine service light on. so it happened once a month with about 1000 mileage driving. I was almost hit by the car behind of me coz the car stopped suddenly while I was driving. this really caused my concern about my safety. Dealer couldn't help me more about it except keep monitoring the oil consumption. they told me the car with 2.4L V4 engine has this issue. I found out the same issue also happened to the other Jeep consumers and they have been involved in law suit. I need to file this complaint so could get someone's attention on this, Chrysler need to fix this engine design issue...
The vehicle just stop and the computer panel indicated it was in shifting mode and wouldn't move.
Coolant in reservoir has been overheating since replacement of o-ring on pressure cap. I have take the car to the mechanic twice to find the solutions as to what could be causing this issue. The first time I was told it was not my radiator because I thought I had suffered damage to it from an accident a couple of years ago, and the second time they have flushed the system and told me there were no signs of leakage in the system. I have even speculated it could be the thermostat housing, so I got that replaced as well, but to no avail.
2018 Jeep Renegade will randomly stall described in this current recall 18V731000 Though searching my vin number shows no recall. This is a serious safety hazard and needs to be repaired asap
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the oil level was extremely low. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact indicated an oil consumption test had been performed. No further information was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000
My engine has stalled on several different occasions after accelerating it will stall out with no warning. It will restart but usually takes a few attempts.
My jeep on 11/11/2021 just turned 60,000 miles the light came on change oil so I started it drove out of the drive way turned around the corner it said you can't shift in drive so I pulled over put it in park put my foot on the brake push the button to start it sound like a hissing sound then it would crank and start I got to the corner to stop and it died out put it in park put my foot on the brake and push the button to start did the same thing making like a hissing sound started to crank after a minute and a half and it seemed to do this in the morning although couple more times during the day. This is a serious problem it can cause an accident I think it's a fuel pump not getting enough fuel.
Car stalls / engine shuts off while driving. Engine will cut off while going over 30 mph. There have been many reports of this happening online on 2016 - 2018 Jeep Renegades.
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact’s wife stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
My truck is using 2-3 quarts of oil a month and I have made over 7 trips to the dealer and still no resolve Jeep sold me a complete lemon and I'm not going to stop until I reach someone to get this matter taken care of.
I bought this car as a 1 year old vehicle with less than 20k miles. Since my first oil change, my mechanics have mentioned that it is losing quite a bit of oil. The jeep has died in intersections 9x due to low oil pressure. The vehicle crossed 60k miles a month ago, and is now misfiring. After a leak down test was performed, they stated that the engine needs to be replaced due to a 40% leak on cylinder 3 and a 30% on all other cylinders. Unfortunately, the engine is now out of warranty.
I have had 4 incidents now where I made a right hand turn and the car stalled in the middle of the road. Turned the engine off, attempted to restart. The engine would try to fire, but would take several tries, then would start roughly. Then would run fine.
Oil level in engine dropped. Then car stalls with no warning. So far dealer is assessing the issue by doing an oil consumption test, but the issue still there without been resolved. Very dangerous problem. Because car stopped on me in middle of highway. This issue has to be looked in to in a bit rush..
While going down the highway, the jeep shut down/locked up. The engine was still running, but wouldn't let me turn it off or run anything electrical. Every service light possible came on. In order to get it to turn off, we had to turn off the computer. After that, it had no power whatsoever. The key light was showing. Luckily, I was able to pull over before getting hit. I had both of my kids in the car. I've seen where other people have had this happen. Why has it not been recalled. We're still waiting to find out what the issue is but the mechanic shop is behind due to workers being out with Covid.
The contact owned a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, she smelled a burning odor and noticed dark smoke coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that as she opened the driver’s side door to exit the vehicle, the engine exploded, and the hood opened and caught on fire. The contact was able to extinguish the fire with assistance. The contact sustained an injury to the ankle but did not seek medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot and deemed a total loss. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,400.
Vehicle randomly shuts off/stalls while driving. Has happened on the highway at highway speeds, trying to pass another vehicle or simply while barely accelerating to merge. First few times transmission warning light came on, then change oil light came on. Last few times, engine just simply shuts off, speedometer slowly declines and there is no power. Pull over to shoulder, then message says vehicle must be in park before shifting to another gear, then says push brake pedal & push start. This happened several times while out of state, on vacation. Took it to the nearest dealership after having to spend extra money on a hotel room for 2 nights that I did not plan for, because this happened the evening before a holiday so I had to wait the extra day for the dealership to open. They found a code on the transmission, and also the fluid was a...
Vechile is consuming oil every 1000 miles
The engine suddenly shut-off while operating. The engine would not restart. There is a potential risk of causing an serious accident on the road. On the dashboard the key symbol light is on. On Tuesday of this week when called Chrysler's Customer Service and was informed that symbol is error is for the Passive Entry System. This error message prevent the engine from restart. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Jeep Chrysler dealership. Now, 2 days later there is no recall on the passive entry system and now the vehicle needs over $1600 worth of service repairs. They never address why the key symbol is on the car. appears that their an an issue with this and a recall is in order. Also, it may be the recall from 2018 # U87 with the circuit board and electrical.
It is using an enormous amount of oil. When it gets too low, it shuts off. I have been in the middle of a turn or in an intersection when this happens. It had a recall/fix by the manufacturer but it did it again. Back in the shop. I had to put over 4 quarts of oil in it.
My vehicle has been burning oil and no oil light ever comes on. My vehicle then overheated post 1 week after an oil change and the safety mechanism turned on and shut my vehicle down. The sensor never detected the vehicle was overheating. It went from a "please lower RPM" to shutting down within seconds on the interstate. There are similar recalls on other years of this make and model. It has been burning oil since I bought the vehicle brand new. There is currently 80,000 miles on the car and has never missed an oil change or any service. My safety was put at risk by driving on the interstate and the vehicle completely shutting down going full speed. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone but the people who have completely oil changes, etc. Never been in an accident. There were no previous warning lights prior to...
2018 JEEL RENAGADE 4WD STALLS WHILE DRIVING. FEELS LIKE LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE AROUND 60 MPH. NO SPEED CONTROL WHILE DECELERATION. WHEN STOPPED THE VEHICLE REQUIRES TO SHIFT TO PARK AND TURN OFF. SOMETIMES WILL AUTOMATICALLY TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES. DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION.
RADIO SCREEN TURNS ON OFF FREEZING DOESN'T CONNECT AND SWITCHED INTO KILOMETERS (STILL WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT) CODES.POPPING UP NOTHING WAS FIXED BY DEALERSHIP JUST CLEARED CODES. ENGINE WHEN DRIVING SEEMS LIKE IT HAS HARD TIME PICKING UP AND.SHIFTING INTO NEXT GEAR MAKING A JERKING MOTION HAPPENING AT RANDOM TIMES DEALERSHIP UPDATED PCM AND TCM STILL DOES IT. BLOWS THREW OIL FAST DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE MAKES A TICKING SOUND SEEMS LIKE FAN COMES ON ALOT MORE. WOULD RANDOMLY SMELL BURNING OF PLASTIC ADDRESSED WITH DEALERSHIP (NO FIX)
WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE JEEP STALLS AND TELLS ME TO TURN ENGINE BACK ON AND/OR TO CHANGE GEARS. AFTER CHECKING FORUMS, OTHER DRIVERS SAID TO CHECK THE OIL AND THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY DRY. IVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A MONTH AND A HALF.
THE JEEP SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT'LL SAY THAT THE CAR NEEDS TO BE PLACED IN PARK, YOU ATTEMPT TO START IT, THE JEEP STRUGGLES TO START. EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. THE JEEP ALSO MAKES A HARD JOLT SOMETIMES IN HIGHER SPEEDS. IT HAS BEEN NOTICED TO DO THIS WHEN THE JEEP IS ACCELERATING TO CRUISING SPEED. SOMETIMES IT IS NOTICED WHEN DE ACCELERATING.
THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ONE DAY. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY START LOSING SPEED AND GRADUALLY SLOWS DOWN TILL IT WON'T MOVE ANYMORE. OR SOMETIMES IT KEEPS GOING BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING FORCED TO KEEP MOVING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION OR SERVICE ENGINE WHICH I'VE DONE BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN SOON AFTER. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND YET IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CODE AND THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE GONE NOW BUT AS I MENTIONED IT RETURNED NOT LONG AFTER.
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...
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP OR GOING AROUND A CURVE, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRIENDSHIP CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (190 OAK STREET EXTENSION, FOREST CITY, NC 28043) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,410.
VEHICLE STOPS ABRUPTLY. HAVING TO ADD OIL, NO EVIDENCE OFF OIL LEAKS
WHILE I AM DRIVING, USUALLY MID TURN MY CAR WILL STALL TELLING ME IT'S LOW ON OIL
PURCHASED VEHICLE JULY 2019. TODAY I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE D LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS ON A HWY RD WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT TOOK A COUPLE TRIES AND THE CAR FINALLY STARTED BACK UP. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAS A MOTOR THAT HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH OIL ISSUES AND JEEP NOT FIXING IT, THEY'RE JUST TELLING THE CONSUMER TO JUST KEEP PUTTING OIL IN IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING HOW MUCH I PAY A MONTH. THESE MOTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN AND IT SAYS NO RECALLS. THERE NEEDS TO BE ONE ASAP. NOW THAT M SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.
THE CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING IT. IF YOU STOP AT A LIGHT, IT DIES. THEN AGAIN AFTER YOU RESTART AND MOVE UP A FEW CAR LENGTHS. ONCE IT DIED WHILE ACTUALLY IN MOTION!! APPARENTLY, THE OIL PRESSURE GETS LOW B/C THE ENGINE(2.4) USES ALL OF THE OIL WITHIN OR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS TIME AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS 2.4 ENGINE, AS OF 12/10/20 I AM TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ONLY ON RENEGADES THAT HAVE ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND NOT FRONT WHEEL DRIVE SUCH AS MINE. NOT SURE WHAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO DO WITH A BADLY DESIGNED MOTOR(A REP AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS A POORLY DESIGNED ENGINE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO USE SOME OIL); HOWEVER, THIS ENGINE SUCKS THE OIL DRY IN UNDER 2 MONTHS TIME THUS MAKING THE MOTOR DIE/STALL WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE...
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES
A COUPLE OF TIMES MY JEEP RENEGADE 2018 STALLED WHEN I WAS DRIVING, SAID SOMETHING ABOUT LOW OIL PRESSURE WHEN I ALREADY DID AN OIL CHANGE, ALSO SAID ON THE DASH THAT THE GEAR SHIFT WASN'T WORKING AND SLOW DOWN AND STOP, I COULDN'T IMAGINE IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. I SAFELY PARKED, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND STARTED BACK UP. TOOK IT LAST YEAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT WAS A SAFETY THING AND THIS YEAR OCTOBER 30TH 2020, I TOOK IT TO CHECK WHY IT KEPT SAYING LOW OIL PRESSURE WHEN THE OIL IS NEW AND I WANTED TO KNOW IF WAS LEAKING. THEY SAID WASN'T LEAKING, THAT IT WAS BURNING OIL. THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING THAT THE OIL IS NEW AND LESS THAN A MONTH IT SAYS LOW OIL PRESSURE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE AND LATER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BOKAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2 FRANKLIN PARK W #2, ST ALBANS CITY, VT 05478) WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE CLUTCH KIT, FLYWHEEL, EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUD, WHEEL BEARING, AND GASKET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,052. *BF*JB
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. OIL CHANGED 8/7/2020, LOW OIL LIGHT ON 9/4/2020. OIL CHANGED AGAIN 9/5/2020 SHORT 4 QUARTS 10/25/2020. JEEP STALLED. NO WARNINGS. BATTERY FINE, HAS GAS.
THE CAR WILL STALL WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT THE OIL IS LOW. LOSS OF POWER ALSO ACCRUES. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR FOR LOSING POWER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO USE OIL. BUT NEVER TOLD ME WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I NEED TO CHECK IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY JEEP STALLED AND SHUT OFF ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS PROBABLY LOW AND TO BRING IT IN. SURE ENOUGH IT WAS NOT REGISTERING ON THE DIPSTICK. I GOT MY OIL CHANGED AND LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER THE JEEP STALLED OUT AGAIN. I CHECKED THE OIL AND THERE WAS NONE. I CALLED THE DEALSHIP AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY TO START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I DROVE LESS THAN 4,000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES BEFORE I BROKE DOWN AGAIN. THE JEEP GIVES NO WARNING OR LIGHT INDICATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM THANKFUL I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE JEEP IS BURNING THROUGH SOME SERIOUS OIL.
I BOUGHT MY JEEP RENEGADE IN AUGUST OF 2018. NOT EVEN A MONTH OF DRIVING LATER (2,000 MILES), I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE ENGINE STALLED AND THEN GAVE ME A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS TOO EARLY TO DO AN OIL CHANGE AND TO COME BACK AT 10,000 MILES. I HAD TO FILL THE VEHICLE WITH 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO KEEP IT RUNNING. I THEN RAN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE 7,000 MILE MARK WHERE I STALLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD SEE IT AS A PROBLEM THAT THE ENGINE IS "CONSUMING" 1 QUART PER 1,000 MILES. HOWEVER, IT IS "NORMAL" UNDER THE FCA GUIDELINES FOR THEIR ENGINES TO CONSUME THIS AMOUNT OF OIL. I TRIED TO GET...
I ORDERED SOME FOOD AND DROVE TO EXIT OF THE PARKING LOT AND THE CAR STALLED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR DIDN'T FLASH ANY LIGHTS. THE DASH REPEATED FOR ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THE ON BUTTON. THIS WASN'T WORKING. I FOLLOWED ITS INSTRUCTIONS OVER AND OVER BUT THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE GAS THE CAR ENGINE WOULD GET VERY BUMPY DESPITE NOT MOVING FORWARD. I FINALLY PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT WILLINGLY MOVED BACKWARDS WITHOUT HESITATION. HOWEVER, WHEN PUT IN DRIVE AGAIN, THE D ON THE GEAR SELECTOR WOULD FLASH AND I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR AGAIN. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HAD SOMEONE PUSH ME OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED IT ON ONE MORE TIME, THE JEEP FINALLY STARTED...
MY CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT. MY CAR JUST STARTED SAYING 'LOW OIL PRESSURE' AND NOT EVEN A DAY LATER TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. IT DID IT ONCE MORE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND BRING IT BACK IN BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FCA FROM OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING BECAUSE FCA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES FOR YEARS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
2.4 ENGINE WOULD CAUSE STALL NOT SAFETY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT A WARN THAT THE OIL IS LOW. THERE IS NO WARN ON OIL BEING LOW WHICH LEAD TO STALL AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THAT CAN CAUSE WRECK. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARN TO DISCOVER NEED REPLACE ENGINE DUE NO OIL EVEN I HAD THE OIL REGULAR FAITHFUL CHANGE ALL TIME AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP.*DT*JB
ENGINE STALL WHEN OIL IS LOW AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT A WARN. THERE IS NO OIL LOW WARN OR ENGINE WARN. NONE OF THE LIGHT COME ON FOR OIL CHANGE OR OIL PRESSURE. IT ALMOST CAUSE ME WRECK THE JEEP CUZ NO CONTROL WHEN IT SHUT DOWN. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FOUND OUT THERE IS NO OIL IN ENGINE WHICH FAITHFUL CHANGE OIL AT DEALERSHIP. NO DASH WARN, I ALMOST REAR END CUZ IT SUDDEN SHUT DOWN. WHEN I TURN THE SHARP I CAN FEEL BEEP BEEP GOING OFF.
I PURCHASED MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE IN FEB OF 2019. I HAD UNDER 5K MILES ON IT AND TOOK IT ON MY FIRST ROAD TRIP. I MADE IT TO COLORADO AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 12 TIMES. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO 4 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND NO CODES OR ISSUES WERE FOUND. I DEALT WITH FCA WHICH WAS A NIGHTMARE, AND ALL THEY OFFERED WAS A FREE WARRANTY. I LET THEM KNOW I DONT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES. I THEN TOOK MY VEHICLE ON THE FIRST ROAD TRIP THIS WEEKEND TO LUBBOCK AND ONCE AGAIN IT STALLED OUT 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND AGAIN. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES YET MY VIN DOESN'T FIT...
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED, VIBRATED AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ATLANTA WEST CHRYSLER DODGE LOCATED AT 1251 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA 30122, WHERE THE MECHANIC FLASHED THE PCM AND TCM DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURES HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.
CONSTANT ENGINE STALLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NORMAL SPEEDS CAUSING ALL ENGINE POWER TO CEASE IN MY VEHICLE LEAVING IT TO THE MERCY OF MY BRAKES WHICH LOCK UP UPON POWER LOSS AND MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES JUST TO BE TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPED AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE SMALL COLLISION AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN FORCED OFF OF A CLIFF 2 TIMES SINCE THESE PROBLEMS HAVE STARTED.
