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.

My Renegade first gave me 'issues' before the first oil change due date. Just 2 months after purchasing the vehicle brand new, it shut down while driving back from my beach vacation. I was driving 70 mph on interstate 65 and it just completely shut off. I had to coast from the flow of traffic onto the side of the interstate. My 8 year old son was also with me during this first of several dangerous encounters. It took me about 6 or 7 attempts at restarting my car and getting back in traffic before I finally made it safely home that day. Each of those attempts first resulted in the car shutting off and me coasting to the side of the interstate to avoid an accident. Every time my car is close to an oil change, within about 300-500 miles, it experiences the above scenario. It has taken several months to finally find the pattern and realize the problem. The problem is that the engine is burning an excessive amount of oil, running the car low on oil, and then the safety feature shuts off the car completely. This happens without any type of warning; no lights or any type of signal. This summer, I had to complete an oil consumption test on my vehicle. This consisted of me driving to the dealership every 1,000 miles for them to check my oil, chart how much it used, and fill it back up with oil. The distance from my house to the dealership is 35 miles; quickest route being a 46 minute drive. I had to repeat this process 5 total times. At the end of the 5,000 miles I was told by my service technician (allan) that I missed the cut off for receiving a new engine by about quart of oil. He also expressed that his personal opinion may be different, but that the standard/guidelines was what he had to go by for diagnosing the results.

My Jeep renagade has 2950 miles and had no oil I had to put oil it it to get it to the garage to is what was going on, so they decided to do a change and I have to drive it another 700 miles and take it back to them to see if it's used any oil, I've never before had a new vehicle that ran out of oil or that I had to add oil to before the first change, I very unsatisfied with the way things are being handled

Since 21000 miles (first instence) we have had issues with the car shutting off, and losing all power to the gas and break, almost causing a wreck. I was turning left and the engine sputrered, then as the wheel straightened up it completely lousy all gas, and break function as if it was not idling. About every 3-4 weeks after it would stall, but not lose complete control. We started to notice it was using excessive amounts of oil, after acknowledging first couple issues. We are currently having it looked at, as the electrical components would not allow us to start the engine at all, we are currently at 30,000 miles. Car is 1.5 years old, problems arose 5 months ago.

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.

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.

- Breinigsville, PA, USA

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.

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.

Takata recall I was driving home and low oil pressure light came on then went out so when I got home I checked the oil it was empty no oil on dipstick then checked again then it showed full of oil did this 3 times doesnt leak and doesn't smell like its burning or losing power

- West Finley, PA, USA

Jeep Renegade 2018, at 12 thousand plus miles, just started using oil. I brought this Jeep brand new, took it in for the regular scheduled oil changes, then all of sudden the oil pressure light came on the Jeep just shut off. I waited a second or so and it started back up. I went back home my husband checked the oil and it was empty. We add a 4 plus quarts of the correct oil. I called the dealership, for an appointment. It took 4 plus days to get an appointment. Before my appointment the oil light came on again. We check the oil and again it barely got any in it. We add just enough to get to the appointment. Now they say I have to drive it 1000 miles for a compression test. They know it's the motor!. I don't understand why I have to be put at risk of breaking down to prove there is something wrong. With all the technology the new cars have why can't they see the issue's on the computer?

I purchased a 2018 Jeep Renegade at the end of July 2018, it had worked well until the end of June 2019. I was on a road trip from South Carolina to Colorado and I was on the road for a week with no issues, but on June 28th as I was driving on I-70 through Kansas at about 80 mph when my engine began to stall out. At first it was dropping about 10 - 15 mph, but then it was quickly dropping 30 - 40 mph. I was able to make it into the right most lane, but a check engine light and service transmission light appeared on my dashboard while my engine stalled out completely. I had to restart my car a few times, but after a few restarts the notifications disappeared. Every time the engine stalled out, I would lose the use of my gas and brake pedals. The electronics were still working, but driving was non-responsive. I was able to safely nurse my car into the nearest city and eventually get towed to the nearest Jeep dealership. The dealership was able to look at the Jeep the next day (June 29th) and did some computer diagnostics and told me that the Jeep was good to go. I made it about 180 miles and had just gotten back onto I-70 in Colorado when the issue returned. Engine stalled out, dropped speed to zero mph and pedals became unresponsive. I had to wait several hours to be towed to Aurora, co to a Jeep dealership (larry H miller Jeep). My Jeep was with larry H miller from June 29th to July 3rd. They told me that they drove it several hundred miles, despite my odometer not matching their information, and told me that there was no issue with my Jeep. I made it 10 miles from the dealer before the stalling issue returned. This almost caused a crash on a congested narrow highway in denver, co. When I called the dealer, they told me they couldn't help and to see another dealer. I was towed to a third dealer, who was also not able to find any issue.

Purchased vehicle in March, went to have first oil change done and there was a problem with the oil consumption. The dealership had me come in every 1000 miles and after the 3rd time the dealership said the problem wasn't getting better and they would need to replace my engine. So at 3000 miles I had to get my engine replacement. The day I picked my vehicle up from the service shop while driving doing 40 mph the car seized up on me and I had to make my way to safety and restart the vehicle. I informed my case manager and was told if it happened again take it into the shop. Month later on my way home with the kids in the Jeep doing 50 mph the vehicle seized up again and I had to pull off to safety and restart the vehicle. I took the Jeep in to the dealership that same day. 4 days later the dealership said they fixed it and I could come pick it. On Sunday, July 21st I was heading out of town on the highway doing 70 mph and the vehicle seized up on me. Went from 70 mph to 44 mph which almost caused an accident. There was 7 lanes of traffic and construction going on which made it hard to get off to the side. After that it took me 15 minutes to get back on the hwy and work my way across 7 lines of traffic. Once I made it to the right lane I heard a thump and my vehicle would not excel faster than 30 mph. I finally made it off the hwy and while sitting at the light the vehicle seized up again and I had to restart it 3 times to make it through the light.
