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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I HAVE A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE THAT I FIRST HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH AT 5000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY CHANGED OIL, AND THAT I HAD TO DRIVE IT FOR 1000 MILES, MIND YOU IT HAD BEEN STALLING IN TRAFFIC, IF DURING THE 1000 MILE TEST STALLING OCCURED TO BRING IT BACK TO SERVICE DEPT. IF NO STALLING OCCURED THEN I WAS GOOD. WELL AFTER 4000+ MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS TIME WHEN I WAS 300 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, AND IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC. STICKER DEALERSHIP PUT ON MY WINDOW WAS FOR OIL CHANGE AT 10087 MILES, I WAS AT 9600. HAD CAR TOWED BY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR MONDAY MORNING TO GO TO DEALERSHIP. FIRST DEALERSHIP LITERALLY SENT ME A TEXT TELLING ME I HAD TO PAY 135.00 DIAGNOSIS LABOR COST UP FRONT, WHILE MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, I TOLD THEM NOT TO TOUCH THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER. THEY ALSO GAVE ME A VERY HARD TIME, BUT FINALLY AFTER 5 HOURS TOLD ME IT AGAIN WAS "OIL CONSUMPTION" ISSUE, THAT THEY WOULD DO OIL CHANGE, AND THAT I AM TO TAKE IT IN TO DEALERSHIP AT 1000 MILES REGARDLESS OF ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN. OH AND THEY TRIED CHARGING ME 78.25 FOR OIL CHANGE, WHICH WAS QUICKLY CHANGED TO 0 BY SERVICE MANAGER WHO SAID I SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED ANYTHING SINCE MY CAR IS UNDER 10000 MILES. SO WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO GO TO DEALERSHIP EVERY 1000 MILES??? I MISSED A DAY OF WORK CAUSE OF THIS.THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

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.

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.

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.

THE CAR IS BURNING THROUGH OIL AROUND 1 QUART FOR EVERY THOUSAND MILES. WHEN THE OIL IS LOW THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THE CAR FORCES OIL CHANGES EVERY 4000 MILES ROUGHLY OR THE CONSUMER CONSTANTLY BUYING A SPECIAL TYPE OF OIL THAT COSTS MORE AS WELL. THE CAR WILL ALSO NOT GO INTO GEAR PROPERLY WHEN THE OIL IS LOW.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING HOME AND LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OUT SO WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS EMPTY NO OIL ON DIPSTICK THEN CHECKED AGAIN THEN IT SHOWED FULL OF OIL DID THIS 3 TIMES DOESNT LEAK AND DOESN'T SMELL LIKE ITS BURNING OR LOSING POWER

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.

ONE MONTH AGO MY CAR STALLED AS I ACCELERATED TO NO ONE INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND I WAS DIRECTED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PUT ON THE BRAKE AND RESTART. ON 8/25/19 THE CAR STALLED AS I WAITED FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT CALLED TRI-COUNTY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1290 HEBRON RD, HEATH, OH 43056, (740) 522-3153) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT OIL AND AN APPOINTMENT NEEDED TO BE SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE AN OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 88513705. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

ENINGE BETWEEN 2 OIL CHANGES HAS USED 9 QUARTS OF OIL, HAS A HIGH CONSUMPTION OF OIL. HAS 9300 MILES, THIS SECOND TIME I'VE NOTICED THE ENGINE COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL WAS 4000 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE.

I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK AND BEFORE IT HAD EVEN REACHED THE APPROPRIATE MILEAGE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR ITS FIRST STANDARD SERVICE, I HAD DISCOVERED THE ENGINE WAS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE VECHILE HAS STALLED ON ME BEFORE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WHILST DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE ISSUE CORRECTED (OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, REPLACING THE PCV VALVE) AND YET THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. JEEP STAFF MEMBERS THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH MEMBERS FROM JEEP HEADQUARTERS KEEP ATTEMPTING TO INFORM ME "IT'S NORMAL, JUST KEEP PUTTING OIL IN IT.." I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS RESPONSE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOT ONLY HAZARDOUS TO MYSELF AS THE DRIVER, BUT ALSO THE PUBLIC WHEN THE CAR DOES STALL.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. AT APPROXIMATELY 2,500 MILES THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. IT SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND TWICE WHILE MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS. AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT SHUT OFF, IT DIDN'T HAVE THE PICKUP IT HAD BEFORE AND SEEMED TO SPUTTER. I TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT I WAS OUT OF OIL. THEY TOPPED IT OFF AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. AT 5,500 MILES MY CAR SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. IT OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT A LARGE INTERSECTION. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET HIT. LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND CAR TOOK TIME TO RESTART. AGAIN, THE CAR SPUTTERED AFTER THAT AND TURNED OFF A COUPLE OF MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET BACK TO DEALERSHIP. MY CAR IS NOW IN FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. A BRAND NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOME WARNING LIGHT NEEDS TO IDENTIFY THERE IS A PROBLEM. CHECKING THE OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WILL IT TAKE LIVES LOST FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN?

I CAN BE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE WILL JUST CUT OUT. WILL START AGAIN BUT STOPS EVERY FEW MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED ALSO WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN OCTOBER 2018. THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT FINALLY JUST STOPPED STALLING ON IT'S OWN BUT NOW IT HAS RETURNED!

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ANOTHER TIME IT DIDN'T START AFTER A FEW TRIES VEHICLE STARTED. STALLED A SECOND AND THIRD TIME BUT I NOTICED THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON FOR A TENTH OF A SECOND THEN WENT OUT. RETURNED HOME AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL. (VEHICLE WAS JUST IN FOR A 1000 MILE COURTESY CHECK BY THE DEALER VEHICLE HAD 2660 MILES ON ODOMETER) SERVICE MANAGER SAID EVERYTHING IS OK AND WE LEFT. ODOMETER HAS 2975 MILES WHEN THIS SHUTTING OFF OCCURRED. WHEN DIP STICK WAS READ IT WAS READING THE VERY TIP OF THE STICK. I ADDED 3 QTS. OF MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDED OIL AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO READ THE CODES AND ASK WHY I WAS OUT OF OIL WITH NO OIL INDICATOR LIGHT ON. SAFETY CONCERN IS THIS ENGINE PER THE SERVICE MANAGER IS PROGRAMMED TO SHUT OFF IN THE EVENT OF A LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT YOU DO NOT GET ANY WARNING THAT YOU HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE UNTIL THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THEN YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY.
