2017 Jeep Renegade

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP RENEGADE AND IT JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING FOR NO REASON, THE ONLY THING THAT IT SHOWED ON THE DASH WAS YOU MUST PUT YOUR CAR IN PARK TO SHIFT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER THEY PLUGGED IT IN SAID THERE ARE NO CODES IT'S FINE. I LEFT WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO WORK. WHEN I LEFT I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT CUTOFF. I GOT IT STARTED AFTER A FEW TRIES AND STARTED ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I WENT TO PULL IN IT CUTOFF AGAIN. SERVICE PLUGS IT IN, NO CODES, HE WANTED ME TO DRIVE IT HOME AND COME BACK IN THE MORNING. I'M LIKE IT CUTOFF TWICE IN TRAFFIC, YOUR KEEPING IT. HE CALLS THIS MORNING SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW MOTOR THERE WASN'T ANY OIL IN IT. THEN HE CALLS BACK LATER SAYS CHRYSLER SAYS I HAVE TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED TO CUTOFF IF THERE IS NO OIL PRESSURE. WHAT IF I WAS GOING 70 DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND IT CUTOFF. WHAT IF MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT AND IT CUTOFF. IN LOOKING UP PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE IT IS A KNOWN FACT AND HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. HOW CAN THEY SELL A VEHICLE THAT JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT WITH NO WARNING OR WARNING LIGHTS.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK 4X4 WITH 35000 MILES. STALLED TWICE ON ME IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. BOTH TIMES I WAS GOING LESS THAN 15MPH TURNING ONTO A STREET. ENGINE JUST DIED AND IT TOLD ME TO PUT IN IN PARK. I DID AND THE FIRST TIME IT STARTED AGAIN AFTER SOME SPUTTERING. SECOND TIME IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. ALSO, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR COMES ON RANDOMLY FOR A SPLIT SECOND SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THEY DID THAT AND IT SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN THIS WEEK. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN TOMORROW AND ASKING THEM TO CHECK THE OIL PUMP TO SEE IF IT IS CRACKED EVEN THOUGH MY SPECIFIC JEEP IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST.

I HAD JUST LEFT FOR WORK TODAY, DRIVING ON THE STREET, WHEN 2017 JEEP RENEGADE DESERT HAWK SUDDENLY STALLED I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WITH INSTRUCTION TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESS START BUTTON. I DID SO AND THE ENGINE TRIED TO START, BUT DIDN'T. TRIED A SECOND TIME AND ENGINE SPUTTERED AND EVENTUALLY STARTED. LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT HAS ALSO BEEN FLASHING ON WHEN MAKING QUICK TURNS. ONLY STAYS ON A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THIS THEN HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER I HAD JUST LEFT WORK. PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW, I'M THE ONLY DRIVER AND IT HAS 20,500 MILES. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE SAME HAPPENED. I TOLD THE DEALER SHOP, WHEN I WAS GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN I FIRST START IT IN THE MORNING AND WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING AWHILE AND I START IT (LIKE WHEN I GO HOME FROM WORK).

STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHIFTING VERY HARD AT RANDOM TIMES AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME WE HAD IT INSPECTED AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT AT THE SHOP. WE CONTINUED TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AND STARTED TO HEAR OUR VALVES KNOCKING SO WE CHECKED TO OIL. THE OIL WAS TWO QUARTS LOW AND BARELY ON THE DIP STICK. WE WERE ONLY MIDWAY THROUGH OIL CHANGE AND WE ONLY SERVICE OUR CAR AT THE DEALER. WE TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT USING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES IS NORMAL. IT MAY BE NORMAL FOR THIS CAR BUT IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR ANY CAR WE HAVE EVER OWNED. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY DID NOT INFORM US AT OIL CHANGES THAT WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE MAINTAINING OUR OIL LEVELS. THIS WOULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE OUR CAR ENGINE TO FAIL AND CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AS THE ENGINE COULD TURN OFF FROM LACK OF OIL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR JEEP TO KEEP THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT A SECRET BECAUSE THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATED WHEN IN USE AND THE ENGINE SEEMED TO HAVE REDUCED POWER. THE CONTACT CALLED ROSEVILLE AUTOMALL (LOCATED AT 100 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, 916-782-5999) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE CYLINDER MISFIRED AND CAUSED THE FUEL PRESSURE TO REGULATE INCORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V131000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) WAS ISSUED BASED ON A BILL DATE. THE CONTACT'S BILL DATE NEEDED TO BE CORRECTED AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE IN CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER OPENED A CASE REGARDING THE MATTER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE STARTED OVERHEATING. THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN JUST STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON. IT ALSO BLEW OUT THE RELAY AMD FUSE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND A NEW FAN ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED. THE JEEP IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAS 39,232 MILES ON IT. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS IS I FIND OUT THAT AT LEAST 66 OTHER 2017 JEEP REMEGADE OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR RADIATOR FANS GO OUT AT 40,000 MILES. THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND THE PART HAS TO BE RECALLED. CHRYSTLER AND JEEP ARE UNHELPFUL AND UNWILLING TO ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM.
