2017 Jeep Renegade

THE 2.4 LT ENGINE IS CONSUMING OIL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. ABOUT 2.5 QTS EVERY 1000 MILES. AT TIMES THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL WHEN ACCELERATING AND TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND BEFORE THE FIRST SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE. THE DEAL IS RECOMMENDING REPLACING THE ENGINE AFTER 3-4 SERVICES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS US BRINGING THE CAR INTO FOR SERVICE TOPPING OFF THE OIL AND HAVING US REPORT BACK EVERY 1000 MILES.*DT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND "PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, PUSH START BUTTON TO START ENGINE" APPEARED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE, AFTER I TURNED, MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND A MESSAGE CAME UP TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR (IT WAS IN DRIVE). LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST AND PULL OVER. MY CAR KEEP TELLING ME TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR, SO I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESSED THE IGNITION BUTTON BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN A MESSAGE CAME UP TO START MY CAR WITH THE KEY FOB. I TOUCHED THE KEY FOB TO THE IGNITION BUTTON AND IT STARTED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THE REST OF THE DAY, BUT IT WASN'T SHIFTING PROPERLY. AS IT SHIFTED, IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR. THAT WAS ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19TH. TODAY, OCTOBER 23RD, AFTER I TURNED MY CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED MY CAR KEEP TELLING ME TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR, SO I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESSED THE IGNITION BUTTON BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN A MESSAGE CAME UP TO START MY CAR WITH THE KEY FOB. I TOUCHED THE KEY FOB TO THE IGNITION BUTTON AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. IT TOOK 5 TRIES TO START MY CAR AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER. THE DISPLAY READ "PUT CAR IN DESIRED DRIVE MODE" AND THEN CHANGED TO "LOW OIL PRESSURE". AT THIS POINT MY CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COULD SHIFT GEARS BUT IT DID NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I PRESSED THE START/STOP IGNITION TO COMPLETELY SHUT OFF MY CAR. I GAVE IT A MINUTE BEFORE TRYING TO START IT AGAIN. EVEN WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR IT TOOK A BIT TO GET IT TO TURN OVER. IT HAD BEEN JUST OVER 2 MONTHS SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE SO I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS ODD THAT I HAD LOW OIL PRESSURE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. AFTER INSPECTING MY CAR THEY NOTICED THAT I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. THE MECHANIC THAT PULLED THE DIPSTICK SAID IT WAS SMOKING WHEN HE PULLED IT OUT BECAUSE IT WAS SO DRY. THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD ME THAT THE 2.4L ENGINES IN THE 2017 RENEGADE TEND TO BURN OIL FASTER THAN OTHER ENGINE MODELS. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN 500 MILES SO THAT THEY COULD CHECK MY OIL. FAST FORWARD 2 WEEKS AND I HIT 500 MILES. I MADE MY APPOINTMENT AND TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED MY ENGINE AND RAN A CONSUMPTION TEST. IN 500 MILES I BURNED THROUGH 2QUARTS OF OIL. MY RENEGADE MADE IT TO 27,392 MILES BEFORE THIS ISSUE. I WAS BEING TOLD THAT I WOULD GET A NEW MOTOR. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT 5 DAYS AND I NOW HAVE A NEW MOTOR. BUT IT IS STILL A 2.4L, SO WHAT IS TO SAY THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN? THIS IS THE SECOND CHRYSLER PRODUCT THAT I HAD TO GET A NEW MOTOR BEFORE 30,000 MILES DUE TO A FACTORY DEFECT. THE OTHER WAS FOR A 2013 DODGE DART. I NO LONGER TRUST CHRYSLER PRODUCTS.*DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TAKEN TO KLABEN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (1106 W MAIN ST, KENT, OH 44240, (330) 673-3139) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,400.

I BOUGHT 2017 JEEP RENEGADE 1/2018. FIRST 6-9 MONTHS RAN GOOD NO ISSUES NOTICED. WHEN I REACHED APPROX. 28K MILES, THE JEEP STARTED SEVERE HARD SHIFTING WITH A CLUNK & CAR JERK ANYTIME I WAS DRIVING IN SPEED RANGE OF 27-32 MPH. OVER NEXT 5 MOS. 10/2018'FEB/MAR 2019, I TOOK MY JEEP TO SAME DEALER PURCHASED/SERVICED 5 DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME SAME COMPLAINT OF HARD SHIFT 27-32MPH. THIS SPORADICALLY HAPPENS WITH NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN ONLY THAT IT OCCURS DURING THAT SPEED RANGE. I COULD BE ACCELERATING OR COASTING IN TOWN TO DECELERATE AND WILL HAPPEN. I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO JEEP CHRYSELR 1/2019 AFTER 3RD DEALER SERVICE VISIT NOT RESOLVED. DEALER EVERY TIME SAID ALL NORMAL, NO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. NOW BOTH DEALER & JEEP INSIST HARD SHIFTING IS NORMAL CLAIMING IT IS AN ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION THAT HAS A 'CLUTCH' ENGAGEMENT AROUND THAT SPEED AND NORMAL TO FEEL WHEN IT ENGAGES OR DISENGAGES. BOTH DEALER & JEEP CLAIM THIS IS ALSO COMMON AND MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN IT REACHES COLDER WEATHER BUT REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUES. I ADVISED MY JEEP DIDN'T DO THIS FIRST FEW MONTHS WHEN BOUGHT NEW DURING WINTER SEASON JAN 2018, BUT STILL I AM TOLD BY BOTH DEALER & JEEP THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM TODAY AND NO ONE HAS RESOLVED. NOW THEY JUST SAY NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I EVEN STOPPED DRIVING DISTANCES MAY-JULY AFRAID TO GO OVER MY 36K WARRANTY. I AM GETTING CLOSE TO MY 36K WARRANTY EXP. NOW AND ASKED FOR ONE LAST TIME TO PLEASE FIGURE OUT THE HARD SHIFTING ISSUES BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I WON'T EVEN LET MY 3 TEEN DRIVING CHILDREN BEHIND WHEEL OF THE JEEP FOR FEAR THAT THE HARD SHIFT & CAR JERKS WOULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THEM TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I OWE TOO MUCH FOR TRADE-IN VALUE SO AM STUCK WITH A NEW JEEP THAT HAS INSANE SHIFTING ISSUES AND JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE, TAKE OWNERSHIP, OR RECALL TO FIX EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE CONSUMER REVIEWS SHOW SAME ISSUE
