2017 Jeep Renegade

ON 3 OCCASIONS SINCE NEW MY CAR HAS CONSUMED ALL OF IT'S OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS REALIZED. THE ONLY INDICATOR IS WHEN TURNING A CORNER, A LOW PRESSURE WARNING ILLUMINATES AND POWER IS CUT TO THE ENGINE, WHICH LEAVES ME UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THEN UPON CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, NO OIL REGISTERS ON THE DIPSTICK. I'VE GOTTEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT 7500 MILE INTERVALS AS REMINDED BY THE ONBOARD SYSTEM. THE OIL IS FULLY GONE BY ABOUT 6000 MILES OR LESS.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY 2017 JEEP RENEGADE, WHICH HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. A MESSAGE WILL SHOW ON THE DASH THAT SAYS 'SHIFT VEHICLE TO PARK' OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. I WILL GO FROM DRIVING NORMALLY, TO HAVING 0 RPMS WHILE I'M STILL MOVING. I TURN THE CAR OFF. I WAIT A MINUTE. I TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT WON'T START, IT JUST KEEPS CRANKING. EVENTUALLY, AND AFTER MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS AND FEAR OF RUINING THE STARTER, I MANAGE TO GET THE CAR STARTED, BUT BARELY. WHEN IT DOES FINALLY START, I WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND AM THEN ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN THE PAST YEAR. IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT I SCHEDULE MY VEHICLE FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES AS RECOMMENDED, BUT I OFTEN GET AN OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING, SOMETIMES RIGHT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLS. I OFTEN HAVE TO ADD QUARTS OF OIL TO MY VEHICLE, EVEN WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I DRIVE AN AVERAGE OF 12,000 MILES A YEAR AND I DO NOT ABUSE MY VEHICLE. WHEN RESEARCHING MY PROBLEM I CAME ACROSS TWO REMARKABLY SIMILAR ISSUES IN OTHER 2017 JEEP RENEGADES. THESE TWO RECALLS DO NOT SHOW UP WHEN I CHECK MY VEHICLE'S VIN AGAINST ACTIVE RECALLS. IT SEEMS LIKE MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE AND I AM ASKING THAT YOU BROADEN YOUR SCOPE FOR THIS ISSUE IN JEEP RENEGADES, BECAUSE I OR MY FAMILY COULD BE IN DANGER WHILE DRIVING.

MY SON WAS DRIVING HOME - CITY STREET - IT WAS SNOWING AND ICY - THE CAR STALLED OUT AND HE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT JUMPED THE CURB AND RAN INTO A POLE AND TREE.*DT*TP I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE IN STALLING OUT AS WELL AS RECALLS. THE ISSUE IS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED BUT IT COMES BACK DOING THE SAME THING. DUE TO THIS ACCIDENT THIS HAS CAUSED US TO HAVE BODY WORK TO BE DONE AS WELL AS OTHER ISSUES. THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.*JB *DT*TP

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. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND, AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT FINALLY STARTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE "SERVICE OIL PUMP" MESSAGE DISPLAYED IN THE MESSAGE CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JACKSONS OF ENID CHRYSLER JEEP (4405 W OWEN K GAMONT RD, ENID, OK 73703) WHERE IT REMAINED SINCE DECEMBER 9, 2019. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JACKSONS OF ENID CHRYSLER JEEP (4405 W OWEN K GAMONT RD, ENID, OK 73703) THREE OTHER TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR JUST UNDER 2 YEAR, PURCHASED NEW. WHEN PURCHASING THE CAR I ASKED IF THEY WOULD INSTALL A REMOTE START AND WAS TOLD TO JUST TAKE IT TO CAR TOYS. WE DID ALMOST A YEAR LATER. WE ARE AT 1 YR 10 MTHS AND JUST OVER 26,00 MILES. JUST RECENTLY THE CAR STATED STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK TO BE ABLE TO START GOING AGAIN AND THEN IT LAGS TO GET GOING AND QUITS SHIFTING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. SOMETIMES IT FLASHES THOUGH SEVERAL ERRORS, TOO FAST TO READ THEM ALL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER 3 TIMES AND ANOTHER DEALER ONCE. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A COMPUTER UPDATE, THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED FIXED AND OTHER THINGS. THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED THE FIRST3 TIMES. THIS LAST TIME THEY ARE TELLING ME IT IS THE AFTER MARKET STARTER, THEY THINK. THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOW THEY ARE SAYING NOTHING IS UNDER WARRANTY. THE AFTER MARKET STARTER HAS BEEN ON THERE 11 MONTHS WITHOUT ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 9/26.19. THE CURRENT DATE IS 11/13/19. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MOST TIMES I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN BUT HAVE BEEN LUCK TO BE BY MYSELF EACH TIME THE CAR HAS STALLED.
