2017 Jeep Renegade

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.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING, OFTEN AFTER MAKING TURNS, AND IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL STREETS AT SLOWER SPEEDS, AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NORMAL AND A "FEATURE" OF THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE IF OIL LEVELS GET TOO LOW. WE REGULARLY CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3,000 - 4,000 MILES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO OIL LEAKS DETECTED.

MY CAR STALLED AND TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS IN MOTION TURNING FROM ONE ROAD ONTO ANOTHER IN JULY 2020 AND AGAIN 2X ON DEC 23RD, 2020 WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IN JULY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" FOR THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF IF THE OIL IS LOW. IT HAD BEEN 4,729 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE DONE BY THE JEEP DEALER WITH SYNTHETIC OIL (WHICH IS GOOD FOR 6,000 MILES). WHEN I HAD THE OIL CHECKED AFTER IT STALLED ON DEC 23RD THE OIL WAS 4 QUARTS LOW! THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR OTHER 2017 JEEP RENEGADES WITH THE 2.4L ENGINE, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL CAR FILED ON JULY 21ST, 2020 FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

MY RENEGADE HAS STALLED 5XS IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. EACH TIME, I'M DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. IT CONSTANTLY SAYS MY OIL IS LOW, BUT THE TECHS KEEP SAYING MY OIL IS FINE. THIS LAST TIME, I CHECKED THE OIL. MY RENEGADE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE OIL ON THE DIP STICK. I SEARCHED MY USUAL PARKING SPOT AND THERE IS NO OIL ON THE GROUND.

WHEN TURNING LEFT FROM A COLD START VEHICLE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF. IT SAYS IT NEEDS TO SHIFT, BUT IT IS ALREADY IN DRIVE. YOU MUST SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND ATTEMPT TO START IT SOMETIMES IT TAKES FIVE MINUTES FOR IT TO START. NOW IT SAYS THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE LIGHTS, LIKE THEY ARE OUT BUT THEY ARE ACTUALLY WORKING. NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON IT BEFORE. CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. HAVE VIDEO.

BURNS 3+ QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 2500 MILES. WHEN OIL GETS LOW IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I HAVE BEEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND HAD MY VEHICLE STALL 3 TIMES. I AM USING FULL SYNTHETIC 0W-20, GETTING OIL CHANGES EVERY 6,000 MILES AND I STILL HAVE TO PUT OIL IN IT REGULARLY. IT ALSO SLAMS GEARS AROUND 27-29MPH REGULARLY, THIS MAY BE ASSOCIATED TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION BECAUSE I NOTICE IT MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE OIL IS LOW.

MY ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. BEFORE I NEED AN OIL CHANGE MY CAR IS SHOWING LOW OIL PRESSURE AND RESULTS IN THE ENGINE BEING CUT OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING. I CHECK THE OIL GAUGE AND IT'S AT AN UNSAFE LEVEL. TWO QUARTS OF OIL NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO BE WITHIN THE SAME RANGE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED. GOING ON THE 4 EVENT OF CONSECUTIVE OIL CHANGES NOW.
