OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES WITHIN 24 HOURS WITH MY CAR. TOOK THE CAR TO JEEP SERVICE AND THE ATTENDANT STATED THAT THIS CAR "CONSUMES 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES" AND THAT I SHOULD CALL CORPORATE. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO JEEP IT WAS OUT OF OIL WITH NO WARNING OF A NEED FOR AN OIL CHANGE OR THAT I WAS LOW ON OIL. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS NOT MADE AWARE THAT I WOULD NEED TO CHANGE THE OIL THIS OFTEN AND THAT THIS CAR "CONSUMES" THIS MUCH OIL REQUIRING CONSTANT SERVICE. IT IS ALSO NOT STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. THE ISSUE WITH THIS CAR COULD CAUSE A HORRIBLE COLLISION, AS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION IT COMPLETELY TURNS OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THIS HAPPENED TO ME I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUST ROLLED BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. AS THIS OCCURRED ANOTHER CAR WAS COMING, LUCKILY THEY HAD A STOP SIGN.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL JERK REALLY HARD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND PICK UP THE SPEED OR JUST DRIVING NORMAL. THE DEALER SAID IT HAD TO IMITATE THE PROBLEM SO HE CAN KNOW WHAT TO FIX. SO IT DID IMITATE THE JERK SO HE WANTED TO DRIVE IT HISSELF CAUSE HE SAID THE WAY I WAS DRIVING CAUSED THE CAR TO JERK. I TOLD HIM I HAD THIS CAR 2 YEARS AND IT HAS NEVER DONE THAT. SO IT CAN'T BE THE WAY I'M DRIVING. I'VE BEEN DRIVING THE SAME THE WHOLE WHILE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME AND IT'S DOING THE SAME THING EVEN WORSE. . IT'S FRUSTRATING CAUSE THEY KEEP SAYING THAT IT'S NOT DOING IT. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER CAR FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND VEHICLE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED FROM THEM WITH A BAD ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. NO HELP FROM THE DEALER JUST A LEMON OF A CAR. THE RADIO KEPT GOING BLANK. THEY SAID THEY FIXED THAT. I GOT IT BACK IT DID IT AGAIN PLUS THE JERKING. I'VE BEEN TO THEM3 TIMESALREADY STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. 😡NEVER WILL PURCHASE A DODGE JEEP OF. O KIND AGAIN.

MY CAR BEGIN SPUTTERING, STALLING WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS AS IF IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS, MY INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE PANEL OF THE CAR WOULD JUST START TO GO CRAZY CAUSING THE SEATBELT SIGN TO BEGIN TO DING AND DING AND DING, EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE THAT I SHOULD LOOK UP. I DID AND THERE WERE THREE RECALLS INVOLVING MY VEHICLE, TWO OF WHICH RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I ASKED HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN EXACTLY WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY LISTED. SHE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT AND IF THEY DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM THEN THEY WOULD NOT TO CALL AND TELL THEM THAT. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SPOKE WITH SERVICE WHO EXPLAINED WHY SHOULD THEY HAVE TO CONTACT CHRYSLER WHEN IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I SAID SIR, I AM ONLY FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. HE THEN WENT ON TO EXPLAIN TO ME THAT WELL THEY COULD LOOK AT THE CAR BUT IT WOULD COST ME $230 TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC. I ASKED WHY I WOULD HAVE TO FOR THAT AND HE SAID "HE HAS TO PAY HIS PEOPLE". I MADE AN APPOINT AND TOOK THE CAR. WHEN THEY CALLED THEY WORDED EVERYTHING IN A MANNER THAT WOULD REMOVE ME FROM THE RECALL, HOWEVER THEY THEN PUT "FUEL INJECTION" AT THE BOTTOM. I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS AND WAS TOLD THAT I AM SUPPOSED TO GET MY FUEL INJECTION CLEANED 2 PER YEAR. I INFORMED THEM I NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. HE ALSO TOLD ME IT WOULD CLOSE TO $500 TO GET MY SEATBELF FIXED "THAT IS NOT EVEN BROKEN" AND NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT THE INDICATOR LIGHTS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO PUT MY CAR "BACK TOGETHER" WHICH I ALSO DID NOT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE I THOUGHT A DIAGNOSTIC DID NOT REQUIRE THAT. NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON AND NOBODY WILL RETURN MY CALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. AFTER RECENTLY PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND "LOW OIL PRESSURE" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO, THE ENGINE LEAKED OIL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEIZED MORE THAN ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NATIONAL DODGE OF JACKSONVILLE (2223 N MARINE BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, NC 28546, (910) 347-3777) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT OIL WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO COME BACK FOR AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AFTER FIVE HUNDRED MILES. WHEN THE CONTACT RETURNED, THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,050.

MY 2017 RENEGADE JEEP IS STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, OR AS I ACCELERATE TO LEAVE A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A 18 WHEELER TRUCK 2 WEEKS AGO BECAUSE THE JEEP STALLED AND I COULD NOT MOVE OUT OF THE TRUCK'S WAY. MY JEEP ALSO ACCELERATES, OR LOSES POWER. IT IS RATTLING SINCE 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AND I AM AFRAID I MAY HAVE A FIRE. I HAVE ALERTED RUSSELL WESTBROOK JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT 9/10/2017. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE 3/01/2019. *JS
