2018 Jeep Renegade

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MARCH 2020 AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NEW ("A LEFT OVER"). WE THOUGHT IT WAS USED AS A DEMO BY SALES. AS SOON AS I GOT IT THE BRAKES STARTED TO GRIND. THE SALESPERSON TOLD US AFTER SIGNING ALL PAPERWORK THAT SOMETIMES THE EMERGENCY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS SOMETHING WITH THE ROTORS AND IG BURTON IN SYMNRA, DELAWARE ADVISED WITHOUT PROPER REPAIR IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES. NOW WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY CONTROLS THE MILES CHANGED TO KM AND THE HEATING SYSTEM CHANGED AS WELL. WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD WE NOTED THE BRAKES AND WITH THE MILEAGE I SAW IT AS SOON AS I STARTED IT UP.

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?

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

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.

WHEN FUELING, THE PUMP CONTINUOUSLY CLICKS OFF. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE POSITIONS AND MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IN OCT 2018, HAD A SENSOR REPLACED. IT DINT WORK. DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK IN UNTIL NOW (2/26/20). THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND I'M STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK.

BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, AFTER ONE MONTH IT STARTED SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. "SHIFT GEAR TO P APPEARED ON MY DASH". I HAD TO TURN ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD TURN ON AGAIN AND OCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. GOT THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND THAT I SHOULD BE CHECKING MY OIL EVERY TIME I GET GAS. SAID ALL I NEEDED WAS AN OIL CHANGE. DID NOT HAVE ANY CONCERN FOR THE DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE I WAS IN ON THE HIGHWAY.

IN THE EVENT OF MY FRONTAL COLLISION, MY PATELLAR TENDON ON MY RIGHT LEG WAS RUPTURED AFTER MY KNEE IMPACTED THE PLASTIC STEERING COLUMN COVER WHICH HOUSES THE WINDSHEILD WIPER SWITCH, IGNTION SWITCH (PUSH-TO-START), AND TURN SIGNAL MULTIFUNCTION LEVER. MY INJURY REQUIRED SURGERY TO REPAIR MY RUPTURED TENDON. THIS TRIM PIECE DID NOT SHATTER NOR DID IT PROTECT MY KNEE DURING IMPACT WHICH CAUSED MY TRAUMA AND NOW DEBILITATING CONDITION. FOR REFERENCE I AM 5'9 225LBS AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT ON FEBURARY 21, 2020 *LN CONSUMER LIKE TO ADD KNEE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*JN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE INSPECTED. THE OIL WAS TOPPED OFF. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS THEN CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT DUE TO A RELATED OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES, A QUART OF OIL MAY BE NECESSARY TO BE ADDED AT 1,000 MILES INTERVAL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS WORKING TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

VEHICLE SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING. CHANGED OIL AT 12000 MILES. AT 14,500 MILES THE VEHICLE FLASHED A LOW OIL PRESSURE SIGN AND SHUT OFF WHILE MOVING ON A 45MPH ROAD. IT THEN STRUGGLED TO RESTART. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO OIL. I AM NOW DOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST PER THE DEALERSHIP'S INSTRUCTIONS AND THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED ON THE 3RD TEST (16000 MILEAGE) AFTER 1500 MILES THAT THE VEHICLE BURNED A QUART OF OIL SO FAR. WE ARE CONTINUING THE TESTS. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WARN OF LOW OIL OR GIVE WARNING WHEN IT IS SHUTTING OFF. IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION, LEAVING THE DRIVER TO ATTEMPT TO COAST TO A SAFE AREA. THE DASH WILL THEN READ 'PLACE GEAR IN P AND PRESS BUTTON TO TURN ON' THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE - THE FIRST TIME THAT REQUIRED THE OIL CHANGE AT 12000 IN NOVEMBER 4, 2019 AND THE SECOND AT 14,500 ON DECEMBER 31, 2019. IN SUMMARY, THE VEHICLE BURNED THROUGH 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN A LITTLE OVER 2000 MILES AND SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, AND IS BEGINNING THE PROCESS AGAIN WHILE BEING MONITORED UNDER THE DEALERSHIP.
