Seven problems related to engine oil leaking have been reported for the 2017 Jeep Renegade. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2017 Jeep Renegade engine dies while driving, often after making turns, and it takes a few minutes to start back up. This has happened on both residential streets at slower speeds, as well as on the highway and is extremely dangerous. Service department at Jeep dealership says it's normal and a "feature" of the vehicle to turn off the engine if oil levels get too low. We regularly change the oil every 3,000 - 4,000 miles, and there have been no oil leaks detected.
Within 6 months of purchasing new car,the computer needed to be replaced in dash-uses 1 qt. Oil every 2000 miles. Ive complained and complained to no avail-dealerships all say its �normal� now. The transmission is slipping . -when u go from a low speed to a higher speed. I took it to dealership and they think it needed an update ?also,oil was leaking around transfer case;I noticed spots on concrete when parked and the liquid was clear. This car has literally been a hunk of junk!.
My 2017 Jeep Renegade is not under the recall but it is doing the exact same thing as the recalled 2017 Jeep Renegade's ! I can not understand how my vehicle is not covered? this is extremely confusing and frustrating!! it is stalling and oil is leaking same recall as 4x4 and flexfuel Renegades. . . My daughter was driving it and got stuck and it caused her heat exhaustion while waiting in vehicle for assistance! our city is in a heat advisory!!.
We have our oil changed regularly at the same place as soon as the oil change light comes on or we meet the mileage listed on the last oil change sticker, whichever comes first. We had the oil changed may 14, 2019 and drove maybe 2500 miles since that date. Lastnight my husband and kids were in the car suddenly it stalled and the low oil pressure light came on. The unit then was fine and started back up with no issues, then this morning the same thing. He called the dealer we got it at and they got it in right away. Said it was showing very little oil, but no visible leaks. Im sorry I understand wanting to save an engine but what about lives if it stalls and causes an accident. Also if the oil is that low, why did the oil change light not come on. To me this showing numerous reports and issues and nothing is being done. Why Chrysler. Is it going to take a death and law suit for you to care about your consumers and their safety?!? im thinking about contacting a lawyer as now my kids are afraid to ride in the vehicle.
About 3 months ago, in between regular/proper oil changes, I pulled out of a parking lot and on to a city side street when my Jeep stalled. After turning on my hazards and turning off the car and restarting it, I pulled back into the parking lot. At this time the low oil light came on so I waited for the car to cool and checked the oil. The dipstick showed no oil. I added 2 quarts and took it to the shop. The guy did an oil change and suggested that the last guy did not add enough oil since it takes more than a normal v4. I thanked him and went on my way. Immediately my car was driving better. Here it is 3 months later and my car begins to drive rough. So I check my oil after setting all night and I have to add more oil. There are no visible leaks, no white smoke or smoke for that matter, no puddles and no indicator lamp.
Electrical - multiple malfunction indicator lamps may illuminate on the instrument panel when no malfunction exists engine - it looses a quart of oil every 1000 -2000 miles, no sign of leaks.
The engine uses/loses approximately 1 quart of oil every 300 - 500 miles of daily driving. My daily driving is both city and highway. The Jeep has been at the dealership multiple times (4 in 6 months) to investigate and correct this loss of oil. According to the owner's manual the oil changes can last as long as 10,000 miles. This Jeep Renegade averages an oil change every 2,000 to 2,500 miles due to this oil issue. There are "no" external oil leaks visible nor on the driveway therefore the oil must be leaking internally into "something". The dealership has been great servicing the vehicle but has not been able to correct the problem. The last information provided by the dealership was this Jeep's engine is expected to lose 1 quart of oil per 2000 miles and recommended to change the engine oil every 2,500 miles. This is a new vehicle that has an engine problems that is unresolved and dangerous to drive. Never knowing when the catastrophic failure will occur. I originally took this Jeep to the quinn Jeep/Chrysler dealership in gloucester va but was told by the service manager that because this Jeep was not purchased from quinn that quinn would not perform (any) service on this vehicle. There was an actual "note" added in the database to not service this vehicle.
