2017 Jeep Renegade

AUTO TRANS, PERIODICALLY ON SAME TRIP, COASTING DOWN SPEED, CLICKING NOISE @28MPH MOSTLY BUT OTHER SPEEDS DOES IT TOO. HAD TO DEALER YESTERDAY, REPROGRAMMED MODULE TRANSMISSION CONTROL (TCM) AND DRIVE TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (DTCM) STARTED AROUND 17000 MILES (CURRENT MILEAGE 19,500). TOOK SHORT DRIVE TODAY, AND 1 CLICK AT 25MPH WHILE STOPPING AT STOP SIGN. BACK TO WORK TOMORROW AND I WILL START NOTING THE CLICKS.

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.

CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING . THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WITHING 48 HOURS. ONE INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK. ALSO OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON TWICE FOR A SECOND WHILE TURNING CORNERS AND THEN WENT OFF. I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND IS NOT OVER MILES. I AM NOT SURE IF THESE TWO ISSUES ARE LINKED,

DURING VARIOUS INSTANCES AFTER STARTING THE CAR IN A STATIONARY MODE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAVE WARNING OF VARIOUS LIGHTING SYSTEMS NOT WORKING IN RANDOM SUCCESSION. RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, LEFT TURN SIGNAL, PARKING LIGHT OUT, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT OUT. THIS WILL GO ON FOR 30 SECONDS OR MORE BEFORE IT CORRECTS ITSELF. I ALSO HAVE HAD MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES WHILE IN MOTION THE WARNING SAFETY LIGHTS/SIGNALS ON THE SIDE MIRRORS BECOME TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE FOR NO REASON.

DRIVING ON 95 DOING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR CAR SLOWED DOWN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. WHILE DRIVING MY DASH BOARD FLASHES TO PUT MY CAR IN GEAR. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET ON THE SHOULDER AND CUT CAR OFF IT WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON. I COULD HAVE DIED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. THIS IS VERY VERY SCARY AND JUST TO HAVE MY 60K SERVICES COMPLETED ON SEPTEMBER 21ST AND 28TH 2019 AND JUST HAD BRAKES DONE ON OCTOBER 10TH 2019. NOW I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CALLING, EMAILING AND SENDING LETTERS IN THE MAIL HARASSING ME ABOUT SELLING MY CAR BACK TO THEM. ALL EVERYONE HAS TO DO IS BE HONEST AND SAY HEY THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR VEHICLE AND YOU MAY WANT TO GET OUT OF IT NOW

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
