2018 JEEP RENEGADE Engine Problems

CARS LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, OIL PRESSURE AND FUEL PRESSURE LIGHTS COM ON WHEN STOPPED IN PARK. EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, SEAT BELT SENSOR MALFUNCTION , THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, DEALERSHIP WONT RETURN CALLS TO SCHEDULE SERVICE EITHER. LAST OCCURRENCE WAS 8/21/2020 @ 33,150 MILES

RENTAL VEHICLE. WHILE ON US 89 NORTH BOUND AFTER PASSING LOGAN VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED/STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE CLIMBING THRU CACHE VALLEY ON US HIGHWAY 89 EXPOSING US TO A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED TO A SAFE PLACE (MILE MARKER 429). THIS ISSUE MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED TO THE VEHICLE PRODUCTION OR JUST ONLY FOR THE ONE IDENTIFIED ABOVE. 11JUL20 UTAH FOREST/PARK PERSON AS WELL AS UTAH STATE PATROL TROOPER HELPED IN OBTAINING ROAD ASSISTANCE.

TWO ISSUES ONE. THE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS AND CHANGE HIS SETTINGS RANDOMLY. TO. OIL CONSUMPTION IS HAZARDOUS REPEATEDLYCONSUMING A QUART OF OIL IN JUST 200 MILES. VARIOUS MECHANICS HAVE STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2018 JEEP RENEGADE AND REQUIRES MANUFACTURER REPAIR.

MY ENGINE HAS LESS THEN 10,000 MILES AND THE JEEP IS BURNING 1 1/2 TO 2 QTS OF OIL IN THE FIRST TWO OIL CHANGES. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AT RISK OF ENGINE RUNNING OUT OF OIL ON THE ROAD. THIS COULD CAUSE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AND GET PEOPLE HURT.

WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL 55 MPH AT AN APPROXIMATE ALTITUDE OF 5500FT ON HWY 80 WEST IN WYOMING, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER, ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND DASHBOARD MESSAGE SAID SHIFT TO PARK. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL. I PROCEEDED TO PARK THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE HWY AND SHIFTED TO PARK. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO. I DECIDED TO TURN THE ENGINE ON, WHICH IT DID, SHIFTED TO DRIVE, AND DROVE TO THE NEAREST HWY EXIT. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS, BASE ON OTHER OWNERS REPORT'S THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN THE ENGINE FUEL PUMP AND/OR VOLTAGE REGULATOR WHICH IT MAKES SENSE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND RECALL THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

DRIVING WITH MY CHILD IN THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR ENGINE CUTOFF. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED. MESSAGE IN DASH WAS SOMETHING ABOUT NEEDING TO SHIFT TO PARK. PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK, ENGINE RESTARTED AND SPUTTERED FOR A MOMENT, THEN CONTINUED AS NORMAL. ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS LIKELY DUE TO LOW OIL LEVEL (APPROXIMATELY 2500 MILES SINCE OIL CHANGE).

ENGINE CONSUMES OIL. THERE IS ZERO REASON FOR A 2018 MODEL VEHICLE TO CONSUME ENGINE OIL. DEALERSHIP HAS TALKED WITH ME ABOUT THIS AT EVERY OIL CHANGE AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO CONSUME OIL. BULL CRAP!!! RECALL THIS AND FIX THE PROBLEM FCA. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND COMPLAINTS.

CAR IS BURNING EXCESSIVE ENGINE MOTOR OIL. CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC DUE DIRECTLY TO LOW OIL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE BY MANUFACTURER. PROBLEM IS PERVASIVE ACROSS ALL JEEP RENEGADE VEHICLES. LOCAL DEALER IS AWARE OF OIL ISSUES WITH ENGINE. NEED GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION TO FORCE MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS KNOW ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND STALLED. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO ENGINE OIL IN THE VEHICLE. JACK PHELAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (5859 S. LA GRANGE RD, COUNTRYSIDE, IL 60525) WAS CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. AN APPOINT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO NOT REENGAGE COMPLETELY (AS IF YOU WERE RIDING THE CLUTCH) CAUSING IT TO GET HOT AND HAVE A LACK OF POWER AND A NAUSEATING ODOR. THE PROBLEM BEGAN ABRUPTLY AND CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER/ACCELERATION THAT IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ON THE ROADWAY. *TR

6 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, OUR VEHICLE HAS STARTED SPUTTERING AND STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. OUR GAS WAS AROUND HALF FULL AND WE WERE NOT GOING UP OR DOWN ANY HILLS. THE MPH RANGE WAS 60-90MPH THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AND SOMETIMES IT TOOK OVER 45 MINUTES BEFORE WE COULD START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, EACH TIME TELLING US THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WE HAVE CONTACTED FCA GROUP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND SAID THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY RECALLS AND SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THEY HAVE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT WE JUST SEEK OUT LEGAL COUNSEL. THERE IS ONLY 19K MILES ON THE CAR AND IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW APRIL OF...

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'M AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE THAT THE ENGINE STALL AND RISK GETTING INTO A CRASH. THIS ISSUE WAS A PROBLEM FOR JEEP IN 2017 OR 2018. 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.

ON A US ART 250 STOPPED BECAUSE OF OIL PRESSURE GOING STRAIGHT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. NOW IT STILL HAPPENS BUT IT IS COMING UP SERVICE ENGINE. THE DEALER AND JEEP WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TOOK TO ADVANCED AUTO THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND IS SAYING THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM SUDDEN HIGH AIRFLOW DETECTED AND RECEIVED ENGINE TORQUE REQUEST SIGNAL STUCK. WANTING DATE BELOW, BUT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I'M PUTTING MOST RECENT DATE OF INCIDENT WHICH WAS TODAY. WHICH WE TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AGAIN TODAY. *TR

ENGINE STALLING SAYING SHIFT INTO PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING MY OIL IS DANGEROUSLY LOW. I HAD AN OIL CHANGE WEDNESDAY APRIL 1ST AND HAVE NOTICED NO OIL LEAKS. THIS HAS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING THIS.

USE EXCESS OIL, USES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2,000 MILES.

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IN THREE MONTH MY VEHICLE HAS LOCKED UP, TOLD ME TO SWITCH GEARS AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS! THE CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS DESPITE GETTING THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES. MY OIL WAS JUST CHANGED 2,000 MILES AGO. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! HUNDREDS OF RENEGADE OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. DANGEROUS! I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS CAR IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD AND SHUTTING OFF?

UPON SLOWING FOR STOP SIGN OR TURN, CAR STALLS AND DIES. "D" STARTS BLINKING AND GET MESSAGE THAT MUST BE STOPPED TO SHIFT. GET STOPPED, SHIFT INTO PARK AND TRY TO START CAR. TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO GET STARTED. CAR HAS 6500 MILES AND HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES. TOOK TO DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO CODES AND THEY CAN'T FIND PROBLEM. HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER THIS WEEK. LATEST INSTANCE OF ISSUE WAS 2/29/20.

BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, AFTER ONE MONTH IT STARTED SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. "SHIFT GEAR TO P APPEARED ON MY DASH". I HAD TO TURN ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD TURN ON AGAIN AND OCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. GOT THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND THAT I SHOULD BE CHECKING MY OIL EVERY TIME I GET GAS. SAID ALL I NEEDED WAS AN OIL CHANGE. DID NOT HAVE ANY CONCERN FOR THE DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE I WAS IN ON THE HIGHWAY.

EVERY TIME I GET A OIL CHANGE I HAVE TO REPLACE THE OIL BY THE COURTS IN BETWEEN CHANGES AS WELL THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I MAKE TURNS OR IT MAY STALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE INSPECTED. THE OIL WAS TOPPED OFF. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS THEN CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO A RELATED OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES, A QUART OF OIL MAY BE NECESSARY TO BE ADDED AT 1,000 MILES INTERVAL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS WORKING TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING. CHANGED OIL AT 12000 MILES. AT 14,500 MILES THE VEHICLE FLASHED A LOW OIL PRESSURE SIGN AND SHUT OFF WHILE MOVING ON A 45MPH ROAD. IT THEN STRUGGLED TO RESTART. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO OIL. I AM NOW DOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PER THE DEALERSHIP'S INSTRUCTIONS AND THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED ON THE 3RD TEST (16000 MILEAGE) AFTER 1500 MILES THAT THE VEHICLE BURNED A QUART OF OIL SO FAR. WE ARE CONTINUING THE TESTS. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WARN OF LOW OIL OR GIVE WARNING WHEN IT IS SHUTTING OFF. IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION, LEAVING THE DRIVER TO ATTEMPT TO COAST TO A SAFE AREA. THE DASH WILL THEN READ 'PLACE GEAR IN P AND PRESS BUTTON TO TURN ON' THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE - THE...

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT ONTO A ROAD AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE DRIVE TRAIN AND HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN RIGHT TURN INTO A SUBDIVISION THAT WAS TO MY IMMEDIATE RIGHT. I COULD STILL STEER; WHICH WAS HOW I PULLED MYSELF OFF THE ROAD INTO THE SUBDIVISION IMMEDIATELY AFTER MAKING THE TURN ONTO THE ROAD. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL WHEN I CAME TO A STOP INSIDE THE SUBDIVISION. IT READ THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK. I WAS ON MY WAY TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGE DONE. THE CAR WAS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE TIME. I WAS TAKING IT IN FOR THE OIL CHANGE 100 MILES BEFORE THE DUE DATE. A WEEK EARLIER AND THE DAY BEFORE THE CAR DISPLAYED A LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR ON THE DISPLAY. THOSE WERE THE FIRST TIMES IN MY LIFE...

INCIDENT 1 2/11/20 5PM I HAD LEFT MY OFFICE AFTER WORK AND WAS PULLING INTO A TURN LANE AT AN INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET; CAR STALLED IN DRIVE. I PUT IT INTO PARK, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON; AND IT STARTED. NO ISSUES ON THE 20 MILES HOME. INCIDENT 2 2/13/20 7AM I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND HAD TURNED LEFT TO EXIT MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THE CARD STALLED IN DRIVE. I PUT IT PARK AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON, NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND THEN REAPPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE AND PUSHED THE BUTTON. SOUNDED LIKE THE CARD WAS TRYING TO START. WAITED A FEW MORE SECONDS AND TRIED IT AGAIN, IT STARTED. NO ISSUES ON THE 20 MILES TO WORK.

CAR FREQUENTLY STATES "OIL PRESSURE LOW" DESPITE CONSTANT OIL CHANGES. CAR IDLES WHEN TURNING A CORNER AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. DASHBOARD FLASHES MESSAGES THAT "VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK", STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND TELLS ME TO "PUSH THE BRAKE AND START BUTTON"... I HAD TO DO THIS THREE TIMES. VERY DANGEROUS! CAR SHUT OFF IN 5 P.M. ORLANDO TRAFFIC! HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN TWO MONTHS.

BURNING OIL STALLED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE COULD OF BEEN HIT

CAR POWERS OFF WHEN DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THIS WEEK. IT SHUTS OFF SO YOU CAN'T GIVE IT ANY GAS AND SAYS ON THE SCREEN 'PLACE VEHICLE IN P AND HIT THE START BUTTON' THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THIS MORNING AND THE DEALER SAID IT MIGHT BE OIL CONSUMPTION AND I'M NOW DOING A TEST FOR THAT WHICH THEY SAID THEY MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.

THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICES REGULARLY, BUT IT BURNS SO MUCH OIL WE'RE HAVING ISSUES BEFORE IT'S DUE FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. MY SON WAS ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY FROM HOME WHEN HIS VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT AT TIMES IT WOULD SPUTTER DURING ACCELERATION. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND CURRENTLY IT HAS 29,000 MILES. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED UNDER WARRANTY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR OVER A WEEK BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT. I INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE WE WERE DOWN A VEHICLE AND THE DEALER SAID ALL THEIR LOANERS WERE OUT AND THEY WILL ONLY ALLOW US TO HAVE THE LOANER FOR 5 DAYS TOTAL. SO, THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT US WHEN THEY HAD A LOANER AVAILABLE. WE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM...

WHILE LETTING OFF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN TO EITHER A STOP OR AROUND A CURVE; THE CAR IDLES ALL THE WAY DOWN AND DIES, THE DASHBOARD FLASHES A MESSAGE SAYING 'VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK TO SWITCH GEARS'. WHEN I PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK IT THEN TELLS ME TO PUSH THE BRAKE AND THE START BUTTON; WHEN I DO THE CAR 'WHINES' AND ACTS LIKE IT'S HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING BACK UP; WHEN IT DOES FINALLY TURN OVER IT IDLES HIGH UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR MAKING IT JUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST MOTIVE POWER. AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE MIRACLE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALER (615-206-4869, LOCATED AT 1290 NASHVILLE PIKE, GALLATIN, TN 37066) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST OUT OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT AT THE DEALER'S FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND NO OTHER FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR IN JULY. IN DECEMBER IT BEGAN STALLING AT ODD TIMES AND NOT WANTING TO RESTART. WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS THE OIL CHANGE INDICATOR CAME ON. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT AND FIGURED I WOULD SCHEDULE IT AS SOON AS I COULD AFTER THE HOLIDAYS. THE VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING SHORTLY AFTER THE OIL CHANGE INDICATOR HAPPENED. I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I DID NOT LET THE VEHICLE WARM UP LONG ENOUGH AND IT WAS VERY COLD OUTSIDE. NOPE. I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE GAS STATION AND THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION AND REFUSED TO RESTART. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK SEVERAL TIMES. IT TOOK 5 MINUTES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS MAKING NOISES LIKE THE ENGINE DID NOT WANT TO TURN OVER AND CATCH. I FINALLY GOT IT OUT OF THE ROAD AND INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE...

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING. HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH.

TWICE NOW CAR HAS JUST STALLED/SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE LIGHT AT THAT TIME SUDDENLY SHOWS "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE". TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE AND OIL LEVEL LOW-->OIL CHANGE DONE AND PROBLEM RESOLVED FOR ~ 3K MILES. FIRST TIME HAPPENED AROUND 4-5K MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE, 2ND TIME HAPPENED AROUND 4K AFTER OIL CHANGE. OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT 1K AFTER LAST OIL CHANGE SHOWS ENGINE IS BURNING AT LEAST 1/2 QUART OF OIL. DEALERSHIP STATES JEEP IS STATING THIS IS WITHIN NORMAL AND THAT I SHOULD GET OIL CHANGED/TOPPED OFF EVERY 3K MILES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNACCEPTABLE THAT OIL CONSUMPTION IS SO HIGH THAT MY ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLS BECAUSE OF LOW ENGINE OIL.

HAD AN OIL CHANGE AROUND 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE ISSUE OCCURED. WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY THE JEEP STOPPED AND SHUT OFF. UPON INSPECTION I WAS LOW ON OIL. AFTER ADDING 3 QUARTS OF OIL I FOUND WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH SPECIFICALLY THE 2018 JEEP RENEGADE 2.4 LITER MOTOR CONSUMING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF OIL. OTHERS HAD THEY'RE RENEGADES STOP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY BUT LUCKY I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD AN OIL CHANGE ON TIME AND THROUGH JEEP AS WELL. I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY PASSED AND EMISSIONS TEST WHILE THE MOTOR BURNS THAT MUCH OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL IN THE VEHICLE ONLY LASTED 200 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK, LOST ELECTRICAL POWER, AND STALLED. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, A GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED TO "STEP ON BRAKE, PRESS THE START BUTTON". THE CONTACT DID AS INSTRUCTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. FURTHERMORE, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE RADIO REMAINED ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOTOR WORLD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (150 MOTORWORLD DR, WILKES-BARRE, PA 18702, (888) 459-2493) AND WAS INFORMED THAT AN OIL CHANGE AND OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WERE NEEDED. THE OIL WAS CHANGED. THE DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE A FAILURE WITH THE RADIO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND...

CAR IS EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL. IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS.

TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK, MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE WITH AROUND 17,500 MILES HAS STALLED AFTER MODERATELY HARD BRAKING. IN BOTH CASES THE VEHICLE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME RESTARTING. IN THE LAST CASE, THE STALLING OCCURRED DURING BUSY RUSH HOUR CITY TRAFFIC AND WE SAT FOR ABOUT MINUTE WITH TRAFFIC PASSING US WHILE WE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. MY GIRLFRIEND, A NEW DRIVER, WAS DRIVING DURING THIS INSTANCE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY NOW. *DT*JB

ENGINE HAS KNOCKING SOUND. ( DETONATION) WHEN ACCELERATING . CONSTANTLY. DEALERSHIP RESPOND WAS : NO ISSUE FOUND. I'VE BEEN REQUESTED DIAGNOSTIC TWICE. SAME RESPOND. EVEN MY WIFE COULD HEAR THIS SOUND.

VEHICLE PURCHASED BRAND NEW WAS MAKING LEFT, LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON, AND VEHICLE WANTED TO STALL. I CALLED IN TO DEALER TO DISCUSS SINCE I WAS ALREADY BRINGING IT IN FOR A PASSIVE ENTRY LIGHT ON DASH WARNING LIGHT. THEY SAID BRING IT IN RIGHT AWAY. MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS OVER 1000 MILES AWAY FROM BEING DUE & THEY SAID IT WAS DOWN 2 QUARTS. I DROVE 250 MILES UNTIL MY NEXT APPOINTMENT FOR THE OTHER REPAIR PROBLEM 2 WEEKS LATER AND THERE WAS LESS THAN 1/2 NOTCH LEFT OF OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. THE ENGINE WAS GIVEN A FRESH OIL CHANGE AND NOW MUST BE CHECKED EVERY 500 MILES TO DETERMINE IF IT'S AN ENGINE CONSUMPTION CASE. MY OTHER 2 OIL CHANGES WERE FREE TO USE WITHIN 1 YEAR SO IN ORDER TO NOT LOOSE THEM MY OIL CHANGES WERE PERFORMED WELL BEFORE THEY WERE DUE.

CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC WITH NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP.

THE VEHICLE LOSES FUEL PRESSURE AND BURNS OIL WHEN THERE IS NO PRESENT OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN DRIVE CAUSING THE WHEEL TO LOCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. BETTENHAUSEN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8355 W 159TH ST, TINLEY PARK, IL 60477, (708) 532-2665) INITIALLY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE READY TO PICK UP EARLIER IN THE WEEK; HOWEVER, THEY STILL HAD THE VEHICLE. THE DIAGNOSIS SPECIFICS WERE UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CALL NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED BETWEEN TRIPS TO THE DEALERS. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DON JACKSON CHRYSLER JEEP (3950 JONESBORO RD, UNION CITY, GA 30291), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,200.

MY JEEP RENAGADE HAS 2950 MILES AND HAD NO OIL I HAD TO PUT OIL IT IT TO GET IT TO THE GARAGE TO IS WHAT WAS GOING ON, SO THEY DECIDED TO DO A CHANGE AND I HAVE TO DRIVE IT ANOTHER 700 MILES AND TAKE IT BACK TO THEM TO SEE IF IT'S USED ANY OIL, I'VE NEVER BEFORE HAD A NEW VEHICLE THAT RAN OUT OF OIL OR THAT I HAD TO ADD OIL TO BEFORE THE FIRST CHANGE, I VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE BEING HANDLED

MY RENEGADE FIRST GAVE ME 'ISSUES' BEFORE THE FIRST OIL CHANGE DUE DATE. JUST 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW, IT SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM MY BEACH VACATION. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 65 AND IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAD TO COAST FROM THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. MY 8 YEAR OLD SON WAS ALSO WITH ME DURING THIS FIRST OF SEVERAL DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 6 OR 7 ATTEMPTS AT RESTARTING MY CAR AND GETTING BACK IN TRAFFIC BEFORE I FINALLY MADE IT SAFELY HOME THAT DAY. EACH OF THOSE ATTEMPTS FIRST RESULTED IN THE CAR SHUTTING OFF AND ME COASTING TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. EVERY TIME MY CAR IS CLOSE TO AN OIL CHANGE, WITHIN ABOUT 300-500 MILES, IT EXPERIENCES THE ABOVE SCENARIO. IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL...

SINCE 21000 MILES (FIRST INSTENCE) WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF , AND LOSING ALL POWER TO THE GAS AND BREAK, ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. I WAS TURNING LEFT AND THE ENGINE SPUTRERED, THEN AS THE WHEEL STRAIGHTENED UP IT COMPLETELY LOUSY ALL GAS, AND BREAK FUNCTION AS IF IT WAS NOT IDLING. ABOUT EVERY 3-4 WEEKS AFTER IT WOULD STALL, BUT NOT LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL. WE STARTED TO NOTICE IT WAS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL, AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING FIRST COUPLE ISSUES. WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING IT LOOKED AT, AS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO START THE ENGINE AT ALL, WE ARE CURRENTLY AT 30,000 MILES. CAR IS 1.5 YEARS OLD , PROBLEMS AROSE 5 MONTHS AGO.

WAS DRIVING MY CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER AND IT IS STALLING OUT WHEN I COME TO A STOP. ALSO SHAKING AND MAKING NOISE WHEN I DRIVE IT.

WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE STALED. I WAS SCARY I BOUGHT MY JEEP AND IT ONLY HAS 8000 MILES ON IT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN DRIVE IT DID NOT MOVE. I PUSHED OFF THE ROAD. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THEN RESTARTED IT, AND IT DROVE FINE. I AM STILL NERVOUS DRIVING MY RENEGADE, IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.

NEW JEEP RENEGADE, EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ON 2.4L MULTIAIR ENGINE. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR LOW OIL SENSORS TO SHUT DOWN ENGINE IN TRAFFIC, OR WORSE FOR ENGINE TO FREEZE UP. MY FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT 2800 MILES, 2500 SINCE OIL CHANGE. THE ENGINE WAS 3.5 QUARTS LOW. FEARING DAMAGE OR SHUT DOWN I TOPPED IT OFF AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. DEALER ONLY CHECKED THE DIPSTICK, AND SINCE I HAD JUST FILLED IT THEY DECLARED THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM. 2ND TIME WAS 700 MILES LATER (TOWN DRIVING), 1 QUART LOW, I MADE THE SAME MISTAKE OF TOPPING IT OFF, AND THE DEALER AGAIN SAID NO PROBLEM. 3RD TIME I DID NOT TOP OFF, AND THEY NOW ADMIT IT'S USING TOO MUCH OIL FINDING IT LOW BY 1.2 QUARTS IN 1500 MILES (HIGHWAY DRIVING). BUT THEY INDICATE THEY CAN'T ADDRESS THE ISSUE UNTIL 7500 MILES ARE ON THE CAR...

AT 19700 MILES I WAS DRIVING HOME (50 MILES) IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD MY ENGINE STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID FROM HITTING ME. I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START UP AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK. I WENT LESS THEN 3 MILES AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLED THE DRIVE LIGHT FLASHED A FEW TIMES BEFORE CUTTING OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND SAFELY PARKED IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAD WONDERFUL SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT I WAS A LITTLE UPSET WHEN TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY A FLUKE. THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AFTER THEY...

CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING OR COMING TO A STOP. NO 'CHECK-ENGINE' OR 'CHECK-OIL' LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATION ENGINE STALL OR FAILURE. TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS WILL OCCUR WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. STATED THIS HAS BEEN SEEN MORE OFTEN WITH THIS MODEL AND ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE IS BURNING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD BE.
