2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

CAR IS EXCESSIVELY BURNING OIL. IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS.

TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK, MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE WITH AROUND 17,500 MILES HAS STALLED AFTER MODERATELY HARD BRAKING. IN BOTH CASES THE VEHICLE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME RESTARTING. IN THE LAST CASE, THE STALLING OCCURRED DURING BUSY RUSH HOUR CITY TRAFFIC AND WE SAT FOR ABOUT MINUTE WITH TRAFFIC PASSING US WHILE WE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. MY GIRLFRIEND, A NEW DRIVER, WAS DRIVING DURING THIS INSTANCE AND I AM CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY NOW. *DT*JB

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.

ENGINE HAS KNOCKING SOUND. ( DETONATION) WHEN ACCELERATING . CONSTANTLY. DEALERSHIP RESPOND WAS : NO ISSUE FOUND. I'VE BEEN REQUESTED DIAGNOSTIC TWICE. SAME RESPOND. EVEN MY WIFE COULD HEAR THIS SOUND.

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.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP IN 2018, 3 MONTHS AFTER HAVING IT, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER BULB AND IT WORKED FINE. NOW, A YEAR LATER SAME PROBLEM AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE BULB WAS FINE AND MOVED SOME WIRES AND IT WAS FINE. NOW IT IS STILL NOT WORKING
