2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE STALED. I WAS SCARY I BOUGHT MY JEEP AND IT ONLY HAS 8000 MILES ON IT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN DRIVE IT DID NOT MOVE. I PUSHED OFF THE ROAD. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THEN RESTARTED IT, AND IT DROVE FINE. I AM STILL NERVOUS DRIVING MY RENEGADE, IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN.

NEW JEEP RENEGADE, EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ON 2.4L MULTIAIR ENGINE. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR LOW OIL SENSORS TO SHUT DOWN ENGINE IN TRAFFIC, OR WORSE FOR ENGINE TO FREEZE UP. MY FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT 2800 MILES, 2500 SINCE OIL CHANGE. THE ENGINE WAS 3.5 QUARTS LOW. FEARING DAMAGE OR SHUT DOWN I TOPPED IT OFF AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. DEALER ONLY CHECKED THE DIPSTICK, AND SINCE I HAD JUST FILLED IT THEY DECLARED THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM. 2ND TIME WAS 700 MILES LATER (TOWN DRIVING), 1 QUART LOW, I MADE THE SAME MISTAKE OF TOPPING IT OFF, AND THE DEALER AGAIN SAID NO PROBLEM. 3RD TIME I DID NOT TOP OFF, AND THEY NOW ADMIT IT'S USING TOO MUCH OIL FINDING IT LOW BY 1.2 QUARTS IN 1500 MILES (HIGHWAY DRIVING). BUT THEY INDICATE THEY CAN'T ADDRESS THE ISSUE UNTIL 7500 MILES ARE ON THE CAR PER FCA (MANUFACTURER) GUIDELINES. IN ADDITION FCA SAYS THAT 1 QT PER 2000 MILES IS "NORMAL". I AM NOW AT 5300 MILES, SO IT REMAINS UNFIXED AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IF I OR MY WIFE FAIL TO ADD OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. MY TWO PROBLEMS ARE A) THE CAR ENGINE IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED OR FIXED PROMPTLY AS THE WARRANTY WOULD INDICATE B) AS A PURCHASER OF A NEW CAR I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADVISED IN EITHER THE WARRANTY BY OTHER SIGNATURE DOCUMENT THAT THE CAR WOULD POTENTIALLY USE 1 QUART EVERY 2000 MILES UNDER "NORMAL" USE. I ATTACH THE JEEP SERVICE BULLETIN ON EXCESS OIL USE. I HAVE SERVICE DOCUMENTS FROM MY DEALER TO SUBSTANTIATE MY REQUESTS FOR RELIEF AND A FIX, WHICH I STILL WAIT FOR. THERE IS NO SINGLE INCIDENT, THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM THAT FCA IS NOT ADDRESSING (SIMILAR TO THE TOYOTA 2AZ-FE ENGINE CLASS ACTION SUIT). ASK ABOUT MY SPEED ON THIS FORM I HAVE SAID 50, BUT IT VARIED FROM 20 TO 65MPH OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

AT 19700 MILES I WAS DRIVING HOME (50 MILES) IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD MY ENGINE STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID FROM HITTING ME. I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START UP AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK. I WENT LESS THEN 3 MILES AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLED THE DRIVE LIGHT FLASHED A FEW TIMES BEFORE CUTTING OFF. I PUT IT IN PARK PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND SAFELY PARKED IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAD WONDERFUL SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT I WAS A LITTLE UPSET WHEN TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY A FLUKE. THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AFTER THEY COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE WHAT IT HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE. I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY STANDARD BUT I'M SINCERELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND WHAT I CAN DO IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WITHOUT THE DEALER BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. *TR

CAR STALLS WHEN DRIVING OR COMING TO A STOP. NO 'CHECK-ENGINE' OR 'CHECK-OIL' LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATION ENGINE STALL OR FAILURE. TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS WILL OCCUR WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. STATED THIS HAS BEEN SEEN MORE OFTEN WITH THIS MODEL AND ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE IS BURNING MORE OIL THAN IT SHOULD BE.

ONE MONTH AGO MY CAR STALLED AS I ACCELERATED TO NO ONE INTO TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND I WAS DIRECTED TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, PUT ON THE BRAKE AND RESTART. ON 8/25/19 THE CAR STALLED AS I WAITED FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE.

I HAVE HAD CAR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND IT KEEPS STALLING ON ME AND I GOT ALMOST INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT STALLED ON A BUSY STREET AND TRAFFIC WAS COMING . JIM CLICK CHRYSLER INTO SUN ARIZONA THEY SAY IT'S THE FUEL PUMP BUT OTHER THINGS ARE GOING ON WITH THE CAR TO LIKE THE RADIO AND IT KEEPS TURNING OFF AND THE SCREEN FOR THE BACK UP CAMERA TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN SO I THINK THERE'S MORE GOING ON THAT CAR AND I'M DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP FOR MAKING A CAR THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT I HAVE TO THINK OF THE SAFETY OF MY KIDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND JERKED UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 18V524000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 18V731000 (FUEL SYSTEM).

MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE ENGINE DIES SPONTANEOUSLY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. IT STARTS BACK UP RIGHT AWAY BUT WHEN PLACED IN GEAR IT DIES. THE DEALERSHIP WILL LOOK AT IT FOR A 4TH TIME TOMORROW MORNING 08/14/2019 AT 9AM. SO FAR THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THERE IS A RECALL LIST FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBER JEEP RENEGADE MODELS BUT MY VIN ISN'T ON THE LIST. ENGINE SHOULDN'T DIE OR STALL ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. FIRST TIME IT DIES WAS 5,031 MILES, THEN 13,541 MILES, THEN 19063 MILES.
