2018 Jeep Renegade

MY CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT. MY CAR JUST STARTED SAYING 'LOW OIL PRESSURE' AND NOT EVEN A DAY LATER TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. IT DID IT ONCE MORE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND BRING IT BACK IN BUT I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO DRIVE A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FCA FROM OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING BECAUSE FCA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES FOR YEARS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

HAS ANYONE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEIR JEEP JUST STALLING? AND HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSED IT? 2018 REGENADE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. 8 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT BRAND NEW. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH ATLANTA AND IT JUST SHUT OFF. IT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. I DROVE SOMEPLACE RIGHT OFF THE EXIT AND LET IT SIT FOR AN HOUR AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS FINE. STILL HAD ABOUT 300 MILES UNTIL THE RECOMMENDED CHANGE. I DROVE THE REMAINING 5 HOURS HOME WITHOUT ISSUE. TONIGHT I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT STARTED SPUTTERING. I TRIED MOVING FORWARD AND NOTHING. TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON. NOTHING. MY RADIO AND AC WERE BOTH STILL ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE ROAD (THANKFULLY FOR A SMALL DECLINE) AND PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON AGAIN. WHEN I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED UP. COULDN'T PUSH THE BREAK PEDDLE DOWN AND THE DRIVE LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON THE SHIFTER. I LET IT SIT ANOTHER 30 SECONDS AND IT TURNED BACK ON FINE. I HAVE OVER 2000 MILES BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE AND A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. ALSO NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED BUT MY HUSBAND'S KEY FOB WILL RANDOMLY NOT WORK. TODAY HE GOT IN MY CAR WITH HIS KEYS AND IT WOULDN'T START UNTIL HE PRESSED THE FOB TO THE START BUTTON THEN A LIGHT CAME ON SAYING LOW OIL PRESSURE AND IT QUICKLY WENT AWAY. THAT LIGHT DID NOT COME ON BEFORE OR AFTER THAT INCIDENT.

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

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3/6/2020 FROM THE I-10 DODGE DEALERSHIP IN INDIO, CA. THE CAR APPEARED TO BE WORKING PERFECTLY: NO FUNNY SMELLS OR NOISES, GOOD ACCELERATION AND BRAKES, NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH CONSOLE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. LAST SATURDAY (5/2/2020) I DROVE IT TO MY FRIEND'S MOBILE HOME. I PARKED IN THE CARPORT AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I WENT INTO THE HOME AND LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER. SMOKE WAS POURING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I LOOKED IN VAIN FOR A HOSE OR FIRE EXTINGUISHER, THEN CALLED 911. AT THIS POINT FLAMES WERE SHOOTING UP FROM THE ENGINE, SETTING THE CARPORT AND THE SIDE OF THE MOBILE HOME ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED IN THE EIGHT MINUTES FROM WHEN I CALLED 911 TO WHEN THE FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THE FIRE. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, SOME "D" LIGHT CAME ON, & THEN ALL THE LIGHTD CAME ON & THEN I RECIEVED A MESSAGE THAT I NEED TO SWITCH MY GEARS & MY TIRE LOCKED UP & MY CAR JUST SHUT DOWN. I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN MY CAR BACK ON. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PUSH MY START BUTTON, AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT TO TURN BACK ON IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN ON AGAIN THEN I MADE IT HOME. I STARTED READING BLOGS & IT SAID TO CHECK YOUR OIL. I CHECKED IT AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I CHANGED MY OIL LAST MONTH AND BARELY HAVE DRIVEN IT. I HAVE A 2018 RENEGADE WITH 24K MILES ON IT. IF MY CAR DID THIS WHEN I JUMPED ON THE HIGHWAY WOULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. NO REASON WHY ALL MY OIL SHOULD BE GONE

THE VEHICLE BURNS OIL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICES REGULARLY, BUT IT BURNS SO MUCH OIL WE'RE HAVING ISSUES BEFORE IT'S DUE FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. MY SON WAS ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY FROM HOME WHEN HIS VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT AT TIMES IT WOULD SPUTTER DURING ACCELERATION. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND CURRENTLY IT HAS 29,000 MILES. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED UNDER WARRANTY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR OVER A WEEK BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT. I INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING A LOANER VEHICLE SINCE WE WERE DOWN A VEHICLE AND THE DEALER SAID ALL THEIR LOANERS WERE OUT AND THEY WILL ONLY ALLOW US TO HAVE THE LOANER FOR 5 DAYS TOTAL. SO, THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT US WHEN THEY HAD A LOANER AVAILABLE. WE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM, SO MY HUSBAND CALLED THEM BACK 8 DAYS LATER TO INQUIRE ABOUT A LOANER AGAIN, AND AT THAT TIME THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY; ALL IT NEEDED WAS OIL. SO, WHEN WE WENT TO PICK-UP THE VEHICLE THEY'RE CHARGING US $189 AND THIS VEHICLE IS STILL ON WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY ON THE JEEP IS FRAUDULENT AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE DEVIOUS.

I BOUGHT A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE FOR THE PURPOSE OF HAVING A SAFE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM TO TALK WITH MY FAMILY. I HAVE OWNED SINCE NEW AND REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO JEEP. THE BLUETOOTH CUTS OUT AND IS GARBLED WHEN ON THE PHONE. I OWN A 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH BLUETOOTH AND IT IS FLAWLESS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IT WHAT I GET WITH A RENEGADE. I HAVE TO HOLD MY PHONE IN MY HAND WHILE DRIVING. IN MY OPINION UNSAFE.

LWHILE DRIVING VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING SIGN. WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS LOW ON OIL. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 3000 MILES. DEALER INFORMED ME TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. WAS NEVER TOLD THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LEASED AND NOW I'M STUCK AND AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS IT SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS.
