2017 Jeep Renegade

Car is hesitating and bucking, shaking. Engine light came on and stayed on. Engine light flashes intermittently. It is available upon request. i see that some 2017-2018 renegades had an engine recall but it doesn't show up on this web site for this vin. I didn't see a "code" but not sure where i would see that anyway. This began yesterday when we were 80 miles from home. Made it back.

I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The engine needs to be completely replaced due to faulty manufactured engine. It would randomly turn off or stall, or sometimes engine kept turning and wouldn’t start. The bearings broke off inside the engine and now JEEP is trying NOT to cover it and I can’t get any help after speaking to 7 diff Case Managers. There has been zero help from them in regards to their liability in this. There is already a class action lawsuit filed, in 2020. It is sad that they are handling clients this way. I was very nice and I work in customer service so I understand what is possible etc. The Jeep mechanic locally , called on my case to verify and tell them that my engine needs to be replaced as a direct correlation of the recalled parts and that they were on back order for months. During those months I tried to have recalled parts replaced and couldn’t because the parts are on back order. During this time my warranty became invalid, because I exceeded 60,000 miles. I’m currently at 62,000 miles. At the time I attempted to have recalls fixed I was under 60,000 miles. Secondly the warranty expires In 2022. Regardless , the recalls caused the engine needing to be replaced. Please advise what my options are to ensure I don’t have to pay to replace the whole engine. Thank you

The car only has 23k miles and the engine cooling fan has ceased to work. I had to stop on the side of the road for over an hour when I noticed the coolant temperature rising to dangerous levels. Jeep issued a recall for this part on Renegades but my VIN was not included in the recall for some reason even though it was obviously affected.

We brought the car for the second appointment to complete the mopar W80 recall which was supposed to be done after 1500 miles from the first service. The tech TJ from Autonation Chrysler, Jeep Ram in Katy Texas told me on 07/28/21 that our car was the first car that had come up that was consuming oil and that he thought the engine needed to be replaced. He said the request had been sent to mopar for approval. On 07/29/21 he called and stated that mopar had instructed that since we went 400 miles above the 1500 miles required for the second appointment, that we needed to drive it for another 1500 miles and bring it back. The tech confirmed the engine is consuming oil, we are told we are past 400 miles but asked to go another 1500 miles before the issue is addressed. This places my family and my daughter who drives this car at risk. Hope you can help address the situation.
