2018 Jeep Renegade Engine

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in for service, the mechanic informed of a possible engine oil consumption failure with the vehicle. After examining the vehicle several months later, it was confirmed that the engine oil was significantly lower than expected. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.

I have a 2018 Jeep Sports Renegade and it burns through oil at an excessive rate. My vehicle stalls out on me often and says oil pressure low, shortly after oil changes. If I am traveling downhill and need to make a turn, no matter what speed, the car directs me to shift into park and restart. This has happened on numerous occasions that has almost got me into multiple accidents. Just yesterday, I turned on my car and drove down the hill to the stop sign, and it shut off on me. This is a very scary issue and now today I receive a piece of mail about a class action lawsuit regarding oil consumption, yet my VIN isn't included in any recalls?

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle started to lose motive power and then stalled. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to her destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced and needing an oil consumption test completed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

WHILE I AM DRIVING, USUALLY MID TURN MY CAR WILL STALL TELLING ME IT'S LOW ON OIL

My engine has stalled on several different occasions after accelerating it will stall out with no warning. It will restart but usually takes a few attempts.

Vechile is consuming oil every 1000 miles

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact’s wife stated while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

I bought this car as a 1 year old vehicle with less than 20k miles. Since my first oil change, my mechanics have mentioned that it is losing quite a bit of oil. The jeep has died in intersections 9x due to low oil pressure. The vehicle crossed 60k miles a month ago, and is now misfiring. After a leak down test was performed, they stated that the engine needs to be replaced due to a 40% leak on cylinder 3 and a 30% on all other cylinders. Unfortunately, the engine is now out of warranty.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the oil level was extremely low. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact indicated an oil consumption test had been performed. No further information was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000

Oil level in engine dropped. Then car stalls with no warning. So far dealer is assessing the issue by doing an oil consumption test, but the issue still there without been resolved. Very dangerous problem. Because car stopped on me in middle of highway. This issue has to be looked in to in a bit rush..

2018 JEEP RENEGADE (2.4L) AUTOMATIC 4CYL 2WD WITH UNDER 20,000 MILES AT THE TIME IT FIRST STARTED SEIZING UP MID-DRIVE, BACK IN OCTOBER. THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I ALMOST DIED! I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AFTER THAT, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER SOFTWARE ISSUE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY RESET BUT HERE WE ARE MONTHS LATER AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE THE ENGINE SEIZED AND I WAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD! MY PASSENGER AND I ARE LUCKY TO EVEN BE ALIVE AFTER THAT INCIDENT! I NOTICED THAT THE LOW OIL-PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A HALF-SECOND WHEN TURNING A HARD CORNER THEN GOES AWAY. AFTER LOOKING UP TO SEE THAT THERE IS A "CURRENT CAMPAIGN FOR REPAIRS" I HAVE SCHEDULED AN EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT (WHY NOT A RECALL? THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS!) FROM MY RESEARCH BASED ON INFORMATION FROM SEVERAL SOURCES, IT LOOKS LIKE UPDATING/REPROGRAMMING THE PCM SOFTWARE IS NOT ENOUGH TO FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. THIS IS A FAULTY ENGINE ISSUE AND I NEED MY ENGINE TO BE REPLACED TO ENSURE MY PERSONAL SAFETY IN A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. I HAVE GONE INTO DEBT JUST TO BUY THE VEHICLE, THE LEAST DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP CAN DO IS ENSURE THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT I PURCHASED. THE LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE ARE AT RISK, HERE. I'VE READ THE DETAILS OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

It is using an enormous amount of oil. When it gets too low, it shuts off. I have been in the middle of a turn or in an intersection when this happens. It had a recall/fix by the manufacturer but it did it again. Back in the shop. I had to put over 4 quarts of oil in it.

My vehicle has been burning oil and no oil light ever comes on. My vehicle then overheated post 1 week after an oil change and the safety mechanism turned on and shut my vehicle down. The sensor never detected the vehicle was overheating. It went from a "please lower RPM" to shutting down within seconds on the interstate. There are similar recalls on other years of this make and model. It has been burning oil since I bought the vehicle brand new. There is currently 80,000 miles on the car and has never missed an oil change or any service. My safety was put at risk by driving on the interstate and the vehicle completely shutting down going full speed. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone but the people who have completely oil changes, etc. Never been in an accident. There were no previous warning lights prior to the shut down and overheating. The vehicle had started bogging down before the initial reduce RPM alert came on followed by the shut down seconds later.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE JEEP STALLS AND TELLS ME TO TURN ENGINE BACK ON AND/OR TO CHANGE GEARS. AFTER CHECKING FORUMS, OTHER DRIVERS SAID TO CHECK THE OIL AND THE OIL WAS COMPLETELY DRY. IVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A MONTH AND A HALF.

THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ONE DAY. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY START LOSING SPEED AND GRADUALLY SLOWS DOWN TILL IT WON'T MOVE ANYMORE. OR SOMETIMES IT KEEPS GOING BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING FORCED TO KEEP MOVING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION OR SERVICE ENGINE WHICH I'VE DONE BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN SOON AFTER. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND YET IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CODE AND THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE GONE NOW BUT AS I MENTIONED IT RETURNED NOT LONG AFTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP OR GOING AROUND A CURVE, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRIENDSHIP CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (190 OAK STREET EXTENSION, FOREST CITY, NC 28043) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,410.

VEHICLE STOPS ABRUPTLY. HAVING TO ADD OIL, NO EVIDENCE OFF OIL LEAKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE AND LATER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BOKAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2 FRANKLIN PARK W #2, ST ALBANS CITY, VT 05478) WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE CLUTCH KIT, FLYWHEEL, EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUD, WHEEL BEARING, AND GASKET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,052. *BF*JB

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. OIL CHANGED 8/7/2020, LOW OIL LIGHT ON 9/4/2020. OIL CHANGED AGAIN 9/5/2020 SHORT 4 QUARTS 10/25/2020. JEEP STALLED. NO WARNINGS. BATTERY FINE, HAS GAS.

THE CAR WILL STALL WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT THE OIL IS LOW. LOSS OF POWER ALSO ACCRUES. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR FOR LOSING POWER. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR THE CAR TO USE OIL. BUT NEVER TOLD ME WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I NEED TO CHECK IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY JEEP STALLED AND SHUT OFF ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE OIL WAS PROBABLY LOW AND TO BRING IT IN. SURE ENOUGH IT WAS NOT REGISTERING ON THE DIPSTICK. I GOT MY OIL CHANGED AND LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER THE JEEP STALLED OUT AGAIN. I CHECKED THE OIL AND THERE WAS NONE. I CALLED THE DEALSHIP AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TODAY TO START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. I DROVE LESS THAN 4,000 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES BEFORE I BROKE DOWN AGAIN. THE JEEP GIVES NO WARNING OR LIGHT INDICATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM THANKFUL I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE JEEP IS BURNING THROUGH SOME SERIOUS OIL.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP RENEGADE IN AUGUST OF 2018. NOT EVEN A MONTH OF DRIVING LATER (2,000 MILES), I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE ENGINE STALLED AND THEN GAVE ME A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS TOO EARLY TO DO AN OIL CHANGE AND TO COME BACK AT 10,000 MILES. I HAD TO FILL THE VEHICLE WITH 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO KEEP IT RUNNING. I THEN RAN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE 7,000 MILE MARK WHERE I STALLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD SEE IT AS A PROBLEM THAT THE ENGINE IS "CONSUMING" 1 QUART PER 1,000 MILES. HOWEVER, IT IS "NORMAL" UNDER THE FCA GUIDELINES FOR THEIR ENGINES TO CONSUME THIS AMOUNT OF OIL. I TRIED TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO GET ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE I HAD JUST BOUGHT, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WASN'T WORTH VERY MUCH BECAUSE IT HAD A BAD ENGINE. THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE ENGINE THOUGH UNLESS IT WAS CONSUMING MORE THAN 1 QUART PER 1,000 MILES. I COMPLETED YET ANOTHER TEST TO FIND THAT THE OIL CONSUMPTION STAYED THE SAME. I WAS HAVING TO FILL THE OIL RESERVOIR IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IN FEAR THAT I WOULD STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN AND GET HIT BY A VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS FOR THIS ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THE ENGINE STOPS. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED TO JUST CHECK THE DIPSTICK EVERYTIME I FUEL UP. THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AS I AM FILLING UP WITH $10 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES AND THEN DOING AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 3,000 MILES BECAUSE IF I GO TO THE RECOMMENDED 10,000 MILES THERE WILL BE ENGINE PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE TO DO MY OWN OIL CHANGES, BUT HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN FEAR THAT I WOULD BE TO BLAME FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE IF I DARED TO CHANGE MY OWN OIL. I AM CURRENTLY AT 30,000 MILES. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER IS AVOIDING RESOLVING THE ISSUE UNTIL IT COMES OUT OF MY POCKET IN 6,000 MILES.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES

MY ENGINE HAS LESS THEN 10,000 MILES AND THE JEEP IS BURNING 1 1/2 TO 2 QTS OF OIL IN THE FIRST TWO OIL CHANGES. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AT RISK OF ENGINE RUNNING OUT OF OIL ON THE ROAD. THIS COULD CAUSE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AND GET PEOPLE HURT.

BURNING OIL STALLED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE COULD OF BEEN HIT
