4 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2020

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.

I have noticed that when I have to take hard turns with my Jeep Renegade 2017 4 wheel drive sport edition that my low oil pressure light will come on and the engine will either stall or flutter like it's going to stall. This can be dangerous if it stalls while I am making a turn in traffic.

I don't feel safe in this car. Research has shown there are many people with the exact same problem happen to them and told the same thing.

12 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

This 2. 4l multi-air engine consumes excessive amounts of oil. There is no "low pressure" indication unless the motor is a couple quarts low and hard cornering or stopping, and in those circumstances the engine stalls out. This first occurred a couple of months after purchase, the dealership gave me a TSB printout recommending I keep a quart of oil on hand. Since then every oil change I have been low and I've added about one quart per thousand miles like the TSB indicates but it is starting to consume it worse. When I purchased this vehicle I was told that oil changes were substantially further apart and the vehicle would let me know when to do so, yet there is no indication that I am low or out. I am afraid it is going to blow the engine on this vehicle.
