The component involved involves the oil. My Jeep keeps running out of oil to the point where we have to keep putting more in. A couple times the car has turned off because of this problem. I brought the car to my mechanic only to find out the oil was completely gone. I’m lucky the motor didn’t go. I do have the oil changed every 3,000 miles but after only 2000 miles I get the message saying I need an oil change. The car is only 6 years old and only has 36,000 miles on it. I don’t what is going on but to me it seems there is a leak somewhere. I am afraid to drive it.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING.

Cooling motor fan is shorted and causing fan fuse to blow therefore causing engine to overheat which can blow it up and cause EXTREME SAFETY ISSUES. There should be an active recall on my vehicle as the cooling fan needs completely replaced and I have looked this problem up and other 2015-2017 Jeep Renegades have had this problem with active recalls.

Engine is burning oil. One recall issued and answered with a software update. Update has not fixed problem. Dealership did an oil consumption test. Dealership said it passed despite the fact it lost half a quart of oil in 1500 miles. My oil change is now right around the corner and it's over a quart low on oil. Oil light only comes on when it's just shy of bone dry. It is not normal or safe to have this much oil consumption in such a short amount of time.

The coolant loses too fast, like one cup coolant per one thousand miles. But coolant dripping can be found.

Engine uses excessive amounts of oil. We took the car in twice to do an oil consumption test, which resulted in one quart per 1,000 miles. The dealer says this is normal. This is a five year old car with 60,000 miles on it, which is average. We have other FCA products that consume imperceptible amounts of oil between scheduled oil changes (every six months or 10,000 miles). I have old cars with hundreds of thousands of miles that don't consume oil to this extent. Maybe it's normal for this vehicle or, more precisely, this engine, but it is not normal for the average car.

My engine cooling system is malfunctioning. My safety is at risk and can put others at risk while I am driving because the engine can permanently malfunction I lose control of my car. I have let the dealer at my local center Costa Mesa California Jeep Dealership and the representative did not help with my situation. The dealership installed a new engine due to a recall letter I received for my vehicle. I believe its the dealerships responsibility to fix the engine cooling system problem since they have just replaced a new engine on my vehicle. The problem first appeared since the day I picked up my vehicle from the dealership. I smelled coolant liquid from the first day and advisor just said that its normal to smell coolant because I just got a new engine installed for my vehicle.

Went to start my jeep, started & stalled. Oil pan had rusted & all oil came out with no evidence from instrument panel that I had a problem at anytime before or after. When I called the dealership I bought it from they said they seen a lot of this. Was no longer under warranty as it only covered up to 60,000 miles. It would cost me out of pocket a little over $500. Took it to my private mechanic to fix as my experience with Jeep Service departments is there is no service. I'm not sure of the difference in price between my mechanic & the dealer.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of engine oil. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer three times to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no additional assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 29,000.

I received a recall notice for engine consuming too much oil at which around the same time I was driving when the engine stalled on me in the middle of the road. I went to the dealer and they mentioned that engine was empty of oil. An oil consumption test was done and yielded normal results according to the dealership. Fresh oil change was given and after 3000 miles, the same problem occurred: engine stalled on me in the middle of the road way before the manufacturer recommended oil change interval. I called FCA Chrysler manufacturer who told me to go to another dealership. I go to another dealership and they said the same thing: oil consumption is normal. Dealer has been overfilling oil to compensate for the oil consumption so that when I return for oil changes or to complain, the oil leves appear to be normal.

When I am driving the car, it jerks. I have all my maintenance up to par. The dealership can find nothing wrong with it.

MY VEHICLE IS DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FEBRUARY 11. MANY 2017 JEEP RENEGADES HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUED ON THEM FOR THE VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND MINE HAS STARTED DOING THIS. IT HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME AND I THOUGHT MAYBE I MISSED AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I AM NOT YET EVEN DUE FOR MY OIL CHANGE AND AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AGAIN. MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT SOME HOW WAS MISSED. THIS IS A BIG TIME SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD HOPE THAT YOU GUYS WOULD LOOK IN TO IT.

WHILE DRIVING I COULD HEAR THE VEHICLE RUNNING VERY LOUD AND THEN IT WOULD GET QUIET. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE I FELT THE HOOD WHICH WAS VERY HOT AND WHILE DRIVING I WAS WATCHING THE COOLANT LEVEL WHICH WOULD FLUCTUATE VERY HIGH AND THEN GO LOW.

RENEGADE STALLING AT LOW SPEED OR MAKING A TURN LOW OIL PRESSURE SHOWS ON DISPLAY THIS IS NOT SAFE THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT I BEEN RESEARCHING AND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE A LOT PEOPLE COMPLAINING.

Car is hesitating and bucking, shaking. Engine light came on and stayed on. Engine light flashes intermittently. It is available upon request. i see that some 2017-2018 renegades had an engine recall but it doesn't show up on this web site for this vin. I didn't see a "code" but not sure where i would see that anyway. This began yesterday when we were 80 miles from home. Made it back.
