1 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2020

My vehicle has stalled on the highway 3 times and the transmission is very jerky. The dealer did an oil consumption test and said it is normal for my car to consume 2 quarts of oil every 3000-4000 miles. I have never owned a vehicle that uses this much oil. The oil warning light has never come on indicating g the oil is low.

2 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2020

This is a problem with the 1. 4 turbo engine in my 2015 Jeep Renegade latitude burning engine oil until there is nothing on the dipstick. I usually get an indication on my dash that I have low oil pressure, then I go to the store and buy the euro synthetic oil to top off the oul until I can get to a service station or the dealer for an oil change. The oil change needs to be done evey 3,000 miles or so, or I will be out of oil. The dealer has run some tests and isn't able to locate the problem. It just burns oil and it is, of course, no longer under a warranty. Besides this problem, I have had numerous other weird problems that happen and can not be identified. I think this 2015 Jeep Renegade is a lemon. I bought it used and it was re-certified. Yeah, by idiots? ocassionally the vehicle just stops running, check the oil, and there isn't any on the stick. This has recurred 5 times. The latest being 3//5/20.

3 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2019

Excessive oil consumption . 30000 miles in the engine and it goes through oil more often than the recommended oil changes. Major accident issue, caused by engine stallings due to unexpectedly low oil. Engine stalled while driving 65mph on the freeway.

4 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2019

Transmission hesitates so badly going into second gear that I am constantly almost rear ended, and being screamed at by other motorists, especially in traffic. If you're not at a complete stop, it's not as badr. But forget it if you have to stop for over 3 seconds. Traffic and parking lot seems to be the absolute worse (if you're keeping it at 15 mph or under it seems. First they replaced the valve body, then 2 trans mounts, all at a cost to me, before they decided to replace the trans. Transmission was supposedly "replaced" under warranty, but has only gotten worse. Also, now having engine replaced, because it burns 3 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. Less than 50,000 miles on this car.

5 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 10/31/2018

Multiple times since owning this vehicle the past 7 months, I have had to get 3 oil changes and top off the oil many times in between, which is much more than the manual states is necessary. This vehicle burns through or loses oil too quickly, which causes the vehicle to turn off while driving (in motion) which is a huge safety concern. It often turns off going up or down hill, and after or mid turn (what little oil is remaining shifts) on city streets. My car has turned off itself in the middle of traffic more than a dozen times. Sometimes it takes a couple minutes before it will turn itself back on. Like mentioned, this has occurred more than a dozen times since may 2018 (purchased vehicle in March 2018). Between 10/29 and 10/31, it occurred 9 times. If necessary, I have documentation of the frequency of service needed.

6 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2018

I bought a 2015 Jeep Renegade from this dealership brand new. All service has been done at either this Jeep dealership or the one in lima ohio where I lived for a brief time. Beginning in March of 2018 my vehicle stalled while running with no warning whatsoever. After several minutes it restarted. I took it to the dealership who told me it was because I needed an oil change and because of the change in temperature from ohio to arizona. It then happened again two more times once on the freeway-all again with no warnings. Jeep then had my car in August for nearly a month-I was told it stalls due to low oil pressure and to do an oil consumption test meaning I drove it for 1200 miles and then returned it to them. I was then told that my oil consumption is "within manufacturer specifications" so the dealership would not be doing any repairs and that I need to check my oil level at each gas fill up and add oil as needed in between oils changes. This is not in the manual and this car is still under 36,000 miles and until October 30 the bumber to bumber warranty. I was told by dustin the manager of the service department to contact Chrysler as they would have to authorize any repairs or changes. I was told by Chrysler that there is nothing to fix and given the same recommendation to check my oil at each gas fill up and add oil. This car has no oil light, no check engine light or any warning of any kind before it just stalls while driving. I do not feel safe driving this car and do not trust that this an an acceptable loss of oil and that they can set an expectation that is not listed anywhere in the manual.

7 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2017

I live off a busy highway in houston, TX. I feel I play a game of chicken each time I attempt to turn out of my neighborhood in my Jeep Renegade. The transmission hesitates, the engine light may or may not come on. A host of new electrical messages may or many not pop up. I have had lights stop and start working. The car cut off when making a turn as the car is burning insane amounts of oil. It is not the dependable vehicle I had hoped for. I understand some issues however there appears to be a new one almost weekly. I have hired a lawyer to investigate my case s this the absolute worst vehicle I have ever owned. The car jerks like someone is smashing into the back of you when going 15 mph or less. It loses power and hesitates on takeoff. The car suffers from major electrical issues and I feel this is a cash cow for the manufacture to keep owners serving their vehicles on a regular basis. Something needs to be done about this. Many owners give the same complaints and the same issues, however no one seems to want to listen or hold the manufacture accountable.
