ENGINE
BURNS 3+ QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 2500 MILES. WHEN OIL GETS LOW IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I HAVE BEEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND HAD MY VEHICLE STALL 3 TIMES. I AM USING FULL SYNTHETIC 0W-20, GETTING OIL CHANGES EVERY 6,000 MILES AND I STILL HAVE TO PUT OIL IN IT REGULARLY. IT ALSO SLAMS GEARS AROUND 27-29MPH REGULARLY, THIS MAY BE ASSOCIATED TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION BECAUSE I NOTICE IT MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE OIL IS LOW.

MY ENGINE IS BURNING OIL. BEFORE I NEED AN OIL CHANGE MY CAR IS SHOWING LOW OIL PRESSURE AND RESULTS IN THE ENGINE BEING CUT OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING. I CHECK THE OIL GAUGE AND IT'S AT AN UNSAFE LEVEL. TWO QUARTS OF OIL NEEDED TO BE ADDED TO BE WITHIN THE SAME RANGE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED. GOING ON THE 4 EVENT OF CONSECUTIVE OIL CHANGES NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 JEEP RENEGADE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HEALEY CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM (557 NY-52, BEACON, NY 12508; (845) 831-1148) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS DAMAGED DUE TO RODENTS. THE PART WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, THE CONTACT FOUND THAT IT WAS COMMON FOR THE VEHICLE TO SUFFER RODENT DAMAGE DUE TO SOY BEAN OIL BEING INCLUDED IN MANUFACTURING OFTHE WIRING HARNESS WHICH ATTRACTED THE RODENTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

ENGINE, SEAT BELTS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HAVE HAD VEHICLE SINCE 2018. FOR 2 YEARS, I HAVE HAD 3 CYLINDER MISFIRES (WITH THE LAST ONE ABOUT TO HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT) AND MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING (ONCE ON THE FREEWAY) ABOUT 8 TIMES. I HAD TO PULL OVER EACH TIME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE STATING "VEHICLE CANNOT CHANGE GEARS UNTIL STOPPED." ONCE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, IT TAKES ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE CYLINDER MISFIRES ALWAYS BEGIN WITH AGGRESSIVE JERKING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. LASTING A FEW MONTHS, LEADING TO AGGRESSIVE SHAKING ONCE MISFIRED. ON OCCASION, WHILE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, SEAT BELT WILL ALSO NOT BUCKLE AND IN THE LAST TWO YEARS SEAT BELT HAS ALSO COME UNBUCKLED TWICE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR SEEMS TO WANT TO STALL WHEN DRIVING ALONG. HAD TO PRESS ON THE GAS AND GO ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT SO AS NOT TO STALL. IF I PUT IT IN GEAR AND PRESS ON THE GAS I HAVE TO KEEP PUMPING THE GAS PEDDLE FOR THE ENGINE TO GET THE GAS. ALSO IF OIL IS LOW, THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES, THE SENSOR (DUMMY LIGHT) DOES NOT WARN YOU THAT YOUR OIL IS LOW. I DO NOT DRIVE MY CAR FAR AS I AM AFRAID IT WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AS I GO TO WORK.

I HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED USING THE RECOMMENDED WEIGHT AT THE RECOMMENDED TIMES/MILEAGE AND HAVE RUN OUT OF OIL BEFORE THE NEXT SCHEDULED OIL MAINTENANCE FOR THE APPROPRIATE MILES/TIME CAUSING ME TO STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR A TOTAL OF THREE OIL CHANGES AND STARTED AROUND MY 2ND YEAR WITH THE VEHICLE AT 30000 MILES. THE STALL HAPPENS ON HILLS OR WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY OR GOING AROUND CORNERS QUICKLY. I LOSE PRESSURE AND SPUTTER AND STALL. IT HAS BEEN DANGEROUS A FEW TIMES ALREADY

ENGINE
THE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON AFTER ROUNDING A CORNER. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON UPON BRAKING WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THIS OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES WHILE STOPING AT RED TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY TO GET THE OIL CHANGED THE BEHAVIOR WAS THE SAME. IF THE JEEP DEACCELERATED TOO QUICKLY, OR WENT AROUND A SHARP CORNER THE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THE ENGINE STALLED. AFTER THE FIRST STALL, THAT HAPPENED AT A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. I NEEDED TO TRY THREE TIMES BEFORE IT STARTED. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE IT IS OK. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT IS NORMAL THAT SOME ENGINES NEED TO HAVE OIL ADDED, ONE QUART, BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS NOT TRUE AND THIS WAS AN UNSAFE DEFECT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN DRIVING, MY INSTRUMENT PANEL SAYS MY LEFT TAIL LIGHT, LEFT BLINKER AND LEFT BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT. THEY DO NOT WORK, SO ALL OF THEM WERE REPLACED AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL TO FIX THIS, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL. CAN MY VIN BE ADDED TO THE RECALL? I AM SO AFRAID OF GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WHEN I AM TRANSPORTING MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL. THE WARNING SYMBOL IS ON ALL THE TIME. THE MESSAGES FLASH TILL I GET UP TO 45 MPH AND WON'T DISPLAY THE SPEED DIGITALLY EVEN THOUGH I TRIED TO ADVANCE TO THE SPEED READOUT, IT WON'T STAY ON THE DISPLAY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A 2 LANE CITY ROAD GOING UP A MOUNTAIN IN TUCSON. UPON REACHING THE ALTITUDE OF ABOUT 4000 FEET, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL OUT. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP, BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL, GAS, ETC. AS THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. AT THIS POINT, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF WAITING, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. WE CONTINUED OUR ASCENT UP THE MOUNTAIN, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER. AT THIS POINT, WE CANCELLED OUR PLANS AND WENT BACK DOWN. THERE WERE NO ISSUES GOING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN OR AFTERWARDS. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, WE TRIED IT AGAIN, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT THIS TIME STARTING AT AROUND 3500 FT.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH ON CITY ROADS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL FREQUENTLY SHIFT VERY HARD STARTLING DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. I FEAR IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND POTENTIALLY DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THIS DOESN'T MATTER IF MY VEHICLE IS TURNED ON OR OFF. WHEN STATIONARY THE JEEP RENEGADE WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK FROM THE KEY FOB. PREVIOUSLY THE KEY FOB WOULD WORK BUT I WOULD HAVE TO REPEATEDLY PUSH THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY ON THE KEY FOBS TO NO BETTER RESULTS.
