2015 Jeep Renegade

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1.4 TURBO ENGINE IN MY 2015 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE BURNING ENGINE OIL UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING ON THE DIPSTICK. I USUALLY GET AN INDICATION ON MY DASH THAT I HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE, THEN I GO TO THE STORE AND BUY THE EURO SYNTHETIC OIL TO TOP OFF THE OUL UNTIL I CAN GET TO A SERVICE STATION OR THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE OIL CHANGE NEEDS TO BE DONE EVEY 3,000 MILES OR SO, OR I WILL BE OUT OF OIL. THE DEALER HAS RUN SOME TESTS AND ISN'T ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. IT JUST BURNS OIL AND IT IS, OF COURSE, NO LONGER UNDER A WARRANTY. BESIDES THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER WEIRD PROBLEMS THAT HAPPEN AND CAN NOT BE IDENTIFIED. I THINK THIS 2015 JEEP RENEGADE IS A LEMON. I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT WAS RE-CERTIFIED. YEAH, BY IDIOTS? OCASSIONALLY THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS RUNNING, CHECK THE OIL, AND THERE ISN'T ANY ON THE STICK. THIS HAS RECURRED 5 TIMES. THE LATEST BEING 3//5/20.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN GOES BACK OFF. LAST TIME IT WAS ON, WENT TO REPAIR SHOP AND HAD IT HOOKED UP TO THE DIALYSIS MACHINE AND IT STATED THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED REPLACING. BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER STAYS ON. AFTER I STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT, IT'S OFF. IT ALSO RANDOMLY LURCHES FORWARD OR SHAKES WHILE IN DRIVE OR PARKED. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR FAN WHICH KEPT BLOWING FUSES DUE TO THE FAN GOING OFF TRACK AND GETTING STUCK. I THOUGHT THAT FIXED THE JUMPING, BUT IT STILL OCCURS. JUST LESS OFTEN. MY MYSKY PANEL ENGINE IS ALSO BROKEN AND WILL NOT OPEN. STARTS TO OPEN, THEN CLOSES OR STOPS COMPLETELY AFTER ONLY AN INCH OR TWO OF OPENING.

IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS MY JEEP HAS STALLED THREE TIMES. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR EASILY AND THEN START DRIVING ONCE I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP SIGN OR TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH OFF TO THE SIDE OF THOSE QUICKLY TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY. BUT IN ANOTHER I WAS IMPEATING TRAFFIC AND IT WAS VERY UNSAFE. I'VE HAD DIFFICULTY IN JUMPSTARTING THE ENGINE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE.I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND CHECKING THE REST OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH SEEMS FINE BUT THIS ISSUE KEEPS COMING UP AND THE CAR KEEPS STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

I HAVE A HARD TIME PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR THOUGH IT WAS THE PUMP BUT IT'S EVERYWHERE I GO AND IT EATS UP A LOT OF GAS. THE ELECTRICAL MESSED UP SOMETIMES IT WON'T START I GOT A NEW BATTERY AND EVERYTHING BUT THE SERVICE PEOPLE SAID IT HAS TO BE ELECTRICAL MY KEYS NEVER WORK I HAVE TO MANUALLY USE KEY AND LOCK THE DOOR FROM INSIDE MY GEARS THE ENGINE IDEALS HIGH AND CAR JERKS SOMETIMES WHEN I'M TAKING OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RIEDMAN MOTORS CO INC, LOCATED AT 610 N GRAND AVE, CONNERSVILLE, IN 47331, FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE RESET HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ISSUE CAUSED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

MY JEEP RENEGADE STALLS WHEN I MAKE A SLOW SPEED TURN. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN TO GET ON THE ON RAMP TO A LAH, THE CAR DIES. I ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BY PEOPLE TRYING TO GO UP THE ON -RAMP BEHIND ME. THE CAR DIES WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN CROSSING TRAFFIC & I ALMOST GOT KILLED. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BLINKS. THESE INCIDENTS TAKE PLACE ON DRY PAVEMENT. I NOW SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES ARE POSTING COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ON A JEEP FORUM. WHY HAS JEEP / FCA NOT ADDRESSED THIS ? THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR DIES FOR NO REASON AND YOU CAN NOT MOVE THE CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RE-CALL ON THIS. THERE ARE DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS & NOTHING IS BEING DONE! MY CAR SHUTS DOWN FOR NO REASON.

THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON TOO LONG WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. NO BIG DEAL I THOUGHT... I JUMPSTART THE CAR PER OWNERS MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS (IT HAS A COMPLEX BATTERY SO EVEN THOUGH I'VE JUMP STARTED MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WEREN'T SPECIAL PROCEDURES, IT ENDED UP BEING PRETTY STANDARD). WHEN IT DIED IT WAS IN A GARAGE SO I HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE GEAR SELECTOR TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT INTO POSITION FOR A JUMP CONNECTION. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND LET THE BATTERY CHARGE UP A WHILE. ONCE THE CAR CHARGED UP ENOUGH, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. AT THIS POINT I THOUGHT I WAS IN THE CLEAR, THAT'S WHEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT AND SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING FINE, TRANSMISSION WAS FINE BEFORE THE BATTERY DIED. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I COULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS LOCKED INTO PARK. I WAS BLOCKING THE ROAD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHILE I WAS MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE GEAR SELECTOR, I FINALLY GET THE CAR TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. ONLY THE ENGINE WOULD REV, NO MOVEMENT. TRY TO REVERSE, SAME THING. AT THIS POINT I COULDN'T GET THE CAR BACK INTO PARK. I PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO THE GARAGE TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY AND GO TO TURN IT OFF. THE RENEGADE (PUSH BUTTON START) WILL NOT LET YOU TURN THE CAR OFF IN ANY GEAR BUT PARK. IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. AFTER STRUGGLING MORE TO FORCE IT BACK INTO PARK, I FINALLY GET IT AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. I'M LUCKY IT DIDN'T GET STUCK IN D OR R IF IT STARTED WORKING! I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH AN EXPERIENCE JUMPSTARTING A CAR AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. LUCKILY I WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO PUSH THE CAR BACK OUT OF THE WAY, OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE STUCK THERE INDEFINITELY UNTIL A TOW CAME. I'VE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS IN ONLINE FORUMS. EACH ONE SAID A DEALERSHIP HAD TO RESET THE CARS COMPUTER TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ON AND OFF GOING ISSUE. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREETS. A WARNING APPEARS ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IN ORDER TO SWITCH GEARS. SOMETIMES IT PUTS ME IN NEUTRAL WHEN I'M AT A STREET LIGHT. I'D HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO DRIVE AGAIN BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. SEVERAL TIMES I TRY TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF AND IT WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK LIKE NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE. IT'S BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND WORSE NOW.

I HAD THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON IT. THE THERMOSTAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOT EVEN 9 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, IT WAS CHECKED, AND NOW MY THERMOSTAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
