2017 Jeep Renegade

MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I ALWAYS DID THE OIL MAINTENANCE AS RECOMMENDED. I HAVE FOUND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THAT SAME YEAR HAVING THE SAME ENGINE ISSUES. THERE ARE 5 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM. THIS IS SO UPSETTING TO ME SINCE I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS CRASH WHEN MY RENEGADE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE IN MOTION. WHY WASN'T THERE A RECALL??

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING OR ERROR MESSAGE. GENERALLY WHEN STARTING ON A STEEP HILL OR WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY FROM STOP AS IN WHEN ENTERING A FREEWAY ONRAMP. I DRIVE MOSTLY IN THE CITY WITH LOTS OF HILLS. VEHICLE DOES START BACK UP, BUT TENDS TO BE MORE PRONE TO STALLING ONCE ITS HAPPENED. I THINK IT MAY BE LINKED TO OIL PRESSURE SINCE THAT MESSAGE DID COME UP ONCE OF THE 20 TIMES ITS HAPPENED. WHEN OIL IS TOPPED OFF IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN, BUT THERE IS NO WARNING ABOUT OIL BEING LOW OR LOW PRESSURE GENERALLY. I LOOKED THIS UP ON A JEEP RENEGADE FORUM AND IT APPEARS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ISSUE. 2018 VERSIONS OF THIS VEHICLE APPEAR TO HAVE A RECALL IN EFFECT FOR 2 DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT SOUND IDENTICAL TO WHAT IM EXPERIENCING. MY GUESS IS THAT THE CURRENT RECALLS SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE AS WELL. ID MAINLY LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT ALSO GET ANY UPDATE ABOUT WHETHER A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE IS LIKELY AS ID RATHER NOT PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET AS THEY SEEM COMPLEX.

CAR WOULD NOT GIVE GAS AND COMPLETELY STALLED OUT ON ME, AND CUT OFF!! IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I ALMOST GOT REAMED BY A LARGE DUMP TRUCK BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BACK WINDY ROAD!! ALSO, MY CAR IS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR FROM 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD! DEALERSHIP TELLS ME I WAS ALMOST OUT OF OIL???? HOW CAN THIS BE? I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES, AND FUNNY THING IS, THEY ALWAYS TELL ME I'M LOW!!?? I'M FIRST OWNER, PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2017! ONLY HAVE 36,000 MILES! NOW DEALERSHIP TELLING ME THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR RENEGADE? WHY WASNT I INFORMED BEFORE PURCHASING!!! THIS IS A MAJOR SADETY HAZARD! I WAS ALMOST SERIOUSLY INJURED, THE DUMP TRUCK SCREACHED TO A HALT BY A MATTER OF INCHES!!!!

ENGINE COOLING FAN WAS REPLACED AT 50 THOUSAND MILES, CODES SHOW THAT THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING THE TRANSMISSION THREW CODES DEAD BATTERY. IT LOCKS UP AND DOESN'T WANT TO START EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY.THEIR WAS TWO DIFFERENT SENSORS THAT THREW A CODE. I'VE GOTTEN A MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE AIRBAGS.ON EVERYTHING I HAVE TOLD YOU THE CAR WAS SITTING STILL. EXCEPT ON THE TRANSMISSION, WHEN IT GOES FROM 3RD GEAR TO PASSING GEAR IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD. AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT. I MAINTAIN REGULAR OIL CHANGES .AVERAGE OF 1 PER MONTH. IT'S BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. AT 50 THOUSAND MILES IT STARTED HAVING A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS GO WRONG. I FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A LEMON AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO ADMIT IT.
