Renegade

  • miles
While driving my 2020 Jeep Renegade it will just shut itself down with no warning. I was on the freeway going 60 mph when the car just shut off causing me to have to pull over on the side of the freeway (which is illegal) and then having to restart the car - this happened 6 times in a matter of 24 hours causing me to have to bring my Jeep to the dealership. I was told that there are more electrical issues that will nee dot be addressed but that the main reason for the shut off weas due to not enough oil in the car even though I just had an oil change and was not due for some time. Why would the car just shut off with no warnings? At least a low oil level light would be better than just shutting down.

The accident happens within 7 days of purchasing the car, driving in a parking lot at 15mile/ hour, when I hit the breaks to stop this triggered the accelerator, and the car speed and went out of control, the more I tried to break the machine the more speed it took, crashing head /on against a tree. With such a force that the car now is totaled. This model was recalled in brasil due to the same mechanical problem. I could have died or killed people if I was going on a highway or driving to a normal speed. This viejo le is a dead trap and it needs to be recalled. Is migh duty to prevent posible deads and human misery of inocent people. The most important component of a vehicle : breaks did not work. Instead triggered the acceleration if the vehicle. This happen in annapolis md 21401 in a parking lot of a marina. See also ODI 11349261.
