2018 Jeep Renegade

CAR IS BURNING EXCESSIVE ENGINE MOTOR OIL. CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC DUE DIRECTLY TO LOW OIL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE BY MANUFACTURER. PROBLEM IS PERVASIVE ACROSS ALL JEEP RENEGADE VEHICLES. LOCAL DEALER IS AWARE OF OIL ISSUES WITH ENGINE. NEED GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION TO FORCE MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS KNOW ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITHOUT WARNING AND STALLED. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS NO ENGINE OIL IN THE VEHICLE. JACK PHELAN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (5859 S. LA GRANGE RD, COUNTRYSIDE, IL 60525) WAS CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. AN APPOINT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

6 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, OUR VEHICLE HAS STARTED SPUTTERING AND STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. OUR GAS WAS AROUND HALF FULL AND WE WERE NOT GOING UP OR DOWN ANY HILLS. THE MPH RANGE WAS 60-90MPH THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AND SOMETIMES IT TOOK OVER 45 MINUTES BEFORE WE COULD START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, EACH TIME TELLING US THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WE HAVE CONTACTED FCA GROUP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND SAID THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY RECALLS AND SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THEY HAVE ALSO SUGGESTED THAT WE JUST SEEK OUT LEGAL COUNSEL. THERE IS ONLY 19K MILES ON THE CAR AND IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW APRIL OF 2019. *TR

MY JEEP RENEGADE MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH A CRACKED OIL PUMP HOUSING/BALANCE SHAFT MODULE (BSM), WHICH HAS CAUSED THE OIL PUMP TO FAIL AND THE ENGINE TO STALL. I'M AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE THAT THE ENGINE STALL AND RISK GETTING INTO A CRASH. THIS ISSUE WAS A PROBLEM FOR JEEP IN 2017 OR 2018. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION TO THE DEALERSHIP IN DEC 2019 AND MAR 2020. I HAPPENED TWO DOES AGO ON MAY 23RD IT COMPLETELY STOP ON MY FIANCEE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. WE ARE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR LIVES.

ON A US ART 250 STOPPED BECAUSE OF OIL PRESSURE GOING STRAIGHT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. NOW IT STILL HAPPENS BUT IT IS COMING UP SERVICE ENGINE. THE DEALER AND JEEP WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TOOK TO ADVANCED AUTO THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND IS SAYING THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM SUDDEN HIGH AIRFLOW DETECTED AND RECEIVED ENGINE TORQUE REQUEST SIGNAL STUCK. WANTING DATE BELOW, BUT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I'M PUTTING MOST RECENT DATE OF INCIDENT WHICH WAS TODAY. WHICH WE TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AGAIN TODAY. *TR

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IN THREE MONTH MY VEHICLE HAS LOCKED UP, TOLD ME TO SWITCH GEARS AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS! THE CAR CONTINUES TO DO THIS DESPITE GETTING THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGES. MY OIL WAS JUST CHANGED 2,000 MILES AGO. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! HUNDREDS OF RENEGADE OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. DANGEROUS! I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS CAR IS LESS THAN TWO YEARS OLD AND SHUTTING OFF?

UPON SLOWING FOR STOP SIGN OR TURN, CAR STALLS AND DIES. "D" STARTS BLINKING AND GET MESSAGE THAT MUST BE STOPPED TO SHIFT. GET STOPPED, SHIFT INTO PARK AND TRY TO START CAR. TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO GET STARTED. CAR HAS 6500 MILES AND HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES. TOOK TO DEALER, WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO CODES AND THEY CAN'T FIND PROBLEM. HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER THIS WEEK. LATEST INSTANCE OF ISSUE WAS 2/29/20.
