2018 Jeep Renegade

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.

EVERY FEW WEEKS THE SYSTEM SWITCHES TO METRIC AND THEN HAVE TO RESET BACK TO AMERICAN STANDARD. IT ALSO CHANGES THE HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING SETTINGS TO COME ON AT MAXED OUT TEMP AND THE HIGHEST SETTING ON THE BLOWER. ALREADY HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER ONCE AND THERE FIXED WORKED FOR A WEEK OR TWO THEN RIGHT BACK TO THE PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIRST START THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE PURCHASED BRAND NEW WAS MAKING LEFT, LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON, AND VEHICLE WANTED TO STALL. I CALLED IN TO DEALER TO DISCUSS SINCE I WAS ALREADY BRINGING IT IN FOR A PASSIVE ENTRY LIGHT ON DASH WARNING LIGHT. THEY SAID BRING IT IN RIGHT AWAY. MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WAS OVER 1000 MILES AWAY FROM BEING DUE & THEY SAID IT WAS DOWN 2 QUARTS. I DROVE 250 MILES UNTIL MY NEXT APPOINTMENT FOR THE OTHER REPAIR PROBLEM 2 WEEKS LATER AND THERE WAS LESS THAN 1/2 NOTCH LEFT OF OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. THE ENGINE WAS GIVEN A FRESH OIL CHANGE AND NOW MUST BE CHECKED EVERY 500 MILES TO DETERMINE IF IT'S AN ENGINE CONSUMPTION CASE. MY OTHER 2 OIL CHANGES WERE FREE TO USE WITHIN 1 YEAR SO IN ORDER TO NOT LOOSE THEM MY OIL CHANGES WERE PERFORMED WELL BEFORE THEY WERE DUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT OPERATE WHEN THE SENSOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SHEBOYGAN CHRYSLER CENTER (2701 WASHINGTON AVE, SHEBOYGAN, WI 53081, (920) 459-6020) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NEED A SPECIAL TOOL TO ALIGN THE RADAR CAMERA AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 59686676 AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO SCHMIT BROS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (905 E GREEN BAY AVE, SAUKVILLE, WI 53080, (262) 284-3100). THE DEALER ALSO DID NOT HAVE THE PROPER TOOL.

THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 4749461. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,200.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION ON A DRIVEWAY THE CAR STALLED AND THE ONBOARD DISPLAY READ "SHIFT INTO GEAR". A FULL LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION OCCURRED. CAR HAD TO BE RESTARTED TO RESUME DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. THE RESTART WAS VERY ROUGH, AS IF IT NEEDED GAS. STALL COULD HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF LIFE OR INJURY IF IT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IT HAS OCCURRED. OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE A RECALL FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND/OR POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE BUT MINE DOESN'T.
