Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2018 Jeep Renegade

2018 Jeep Renegade (2. 4l) automatic 4cyl 2wd with under 20,000 miles at the time it first started seizing up mid-drive, back in October. The vehicle spontaneously shut off in the middle of the street. I almost died! I took it to the Dodge Chrysler dealership after that, and I was told that there was a computer software issue that was supposedly reset but here we are months later and it happened again where the engine seized and I was stalled in the middle of a busy road! my passenger and I are lucky to even be alive after that incident! I noticed that the low oil-pressure light comes on for a half-second when turning a hard corner then goes away. After looking up to see that there is a "current campaign for repairs" I have scheduled an emergency appointment with the dealership service department (why not a recall? this situation is dangerous!) from my research based on information from several sources, it looks like updating/reprogramming the pcm software is not enough to fix the oil consumption issue. This is a faulty engine issue and I need my engine to be replaced to ensure my personal safety in a vehicle that I have owned for less than a year. I have gone into debt just to buy the vehicle, the least Dodge Chrysler Jeep can do is ensure the quality of the product I purchased. The lives of many people are at risk, here. I've read the details of the class action lawsuit.

Engine oil consumption issues.

A couple of times my Jeep Renegade 2018 stalled when I was driving, said something about low oil pressure when I already did an oil change, also said on the dash that the gear shift wasn't working and slow down and stop, I couldn't imagine if I was on the highway that would've been a bad accident. I safely parked, turned off the vehicle and started back up. Took it last year to the dealership they said that was a safety thing and this year October 30th 2020, I took it to check why it kept saying low oil pressure when the oil is new and I wanted to know if was leaking. They said wasn't leaking, that it was burning oil. That shouldn't be happening that the oil is new and less than a month it says low oil pressure.

Excessive oil consumption. Oil changed 8/7/2020, low oil light on 9/4/2020. Oil changed again 9/5/2020 short 4 quarts 10/25/2020. Jeep stalled. No warnings. Battery fine, has gas.

I bought my Jeep Renegade in August of 2018. Not even a month of driving later (2,000 miles), I was on the side of the highway because the engine stalled and then gave me a low oil pressure warning. When I took the vehicle into the dealership they said it was too early to do an oil change and to come back at 10,000 miles. I had to fill the vehicle with 2 quarts of oil to keep it running. I then ran into the same problem at the 7,000 mile mark where I stalled on the side of the road. The dealership finally did an oil consumption test, and I thought they would see it as a problem that the engine is "consuming" 1 quart per 1,000 miles. However, it is "normal" under the fca guidelines for their engines to consume this amount of oil. I tried to get the dealership to get me out of the vehicle I had just bought, and they told me it wasn't worth very much because it had a bad engine. They would not fix the engine though unless it was consuming more than 1 quart per 1,000 miles. I completed yet another test to find that the oil consumption stayed the same. I was having to fill the oil reservoir in between oil changes in fear that I would stall on the highway again and get hit by a vehicle. There are no warning lights for this issue until after the engine stops. The dealership told me I needed to just check the dipstick everytime I fuel up. This is only a temporary fix as I am filling up with $10 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles and then doing an oil change every 3,000 miles because if I go to the recommended 10,000 miles there will be engine problems. I would like to do my own oil changes, but have been going to the dealership in fear that I would be to blame for the oil consumption issue if I dared to change my own oil. I am currently at 30,000 miles. It appears that Chrysler is avoiding resolving the issue until it comes out of my pocket in 6,000 miles.

My car is shutting down while driving it. My car just started saying �low oil pressure� and not even a day later turned off while I was driving it and I was almost rear ended. It did it once more before I was able to get it into the dealership. The dealership told me to do an oil consumption test and bring it back in but I don't think I should have to drive a potentially unsafe car. There is a class action lawsuit against fca from other people experiencing the same problems I am experiencing because fca has known about these issues for years and has done nothing to fix the problem.

While driving down the road my Jeep stalled and shut off on several different occasions. I called the dealership and was told the oil was probably low and to bring it in. Sure enough it was not registering on the dipstick. I got my oil changed and less than 2 months later the Jeep stalled out again. I checked the oil and there was none. I called the dealship and I have an appointment today to start an oil consumption test. I drove less than 4,000 miles between oil changes before I broke down again. The Jeep gives no warning or light indication when this happens. I am thankful I was not driving on the highway causing a serious accident. The Jeep is burning through some serious oil.

Car is burning excessive engine motor oil. Car has stalled several times while driving in congested traffic due directly to low oil. This is a safety concern as well as a defective engine by manufacturer. Problem is pervasive across all Jeep Renegade vehicles. Local dealer is aware of oil issues with engine. Need government intervention to force manufacturer to issue a recall on this know issue.

Two issues one. The electrical malfunctions and change his settings randomly. To. Oil consumption is hazardous repeatedlyconsuming a quart of oil in just 200 miles. Various mechanics have stated this is a common problem in 2018 Jeep Renegade and requires manufacturer repair.

Car powers off when driving. It has happened 3 times this week. It shuts off so you can't give it any gas and says on the screen �place vehicle in p and hit the start button� this happened 3 times this morning and the dealer said it might be oil consumption and I'm now doing a test for that which they said they might have to replace the engine.

The vehicle burns oil causing the vehicle to shutdown without warning. We have the vehicle services regularly, but it burns so much oil we're having issues before it's due for routine oil change. My son was about 30 miles away from home when his vehicle stalled without warning. He also mentioned that at times it would sputter during acceleration. We purchased this vehicle new and currently it has 29,000 miles. We had the vehicle towed under warranty to the dealership and they kept it for over a week before they were able to look at it. I inquired about getting a loaner vehicle since we were down a vehicle and the dealer said all their loaners were out and they will only allow us to have the loaner for 5 days total. So, they said they would contact us when they had a loaner available. We never heard back from them, so my husband called them back 8 days later to inquire about a loaner again, and at that time they said the vehicle was ready; all it needed was oil. So, when we went to pick-up the vehicle they're charging us $189 and this vehicle is still on warranty. The warranty on the Jeep is fraudulent and the dealerships are devious.

Vehicle shut off twice while in motion with no warning. Changed oil at 12000 miles. At 14,500 miles the vehicle flashed a low oil pressure sign and shut off while moving on a 45mph road. It then struggled to restart. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership where they confirmed there was no oil. I am now doing an oil consumption test per the dealership's instructions and the dealership confirmed on the 3rd test (16000 mileage) after 1500 miles that the vehicle burned a quart of oil so far. We are continuing the tests. The vehicle does not warn of low oil or give warning when it is shutting off. It will completely shut off while in motion, leaving the driver to attempt to coast to a safe area. The dash will then read �place gear in p and press button to turn on� this has occurred twice - the first time that required the oil change at 12000 in November 4, 2019 and the second at 14,500 on December 31, 2019. In summary, the vehicle burned through 5 quarts of oil in a little over 2000 miles and shut off with no warning, and is beginning the process again while being monitored under the dealership.

Had an oil change around 2 months before the issue occured. When pulling out of my drive way the Jeep stopped and shut off. Upon inspection I was low on oil. After adding 3 quarts of oil I found where other people online had similar issues with specifically the 2018 Jeep Renegade 2. 4 liter motor consuming copious amounts of oil. Others had they're Renegades stop while driving down the highway but lucky I was lucky enough to be in my driveway. I have always had an oil change on time and through Jeep as well. I also don't understand how they passed and emissions test while the motor burns that much oil.

Twice now car has just stalled/shut off without warning. Engine light at that time suddenly shows "low engine oil pressure". Taken to dealer twice and oil level low-->oil change done and problem resolved for ~ 3k miles. First time happened around 4-5k miles after oil change, 2nd time happened around 4k after oil change. Oil consumption test at 1k after last oil change shows engine is burning at least 1/2 quart of oil. Dealership states Jeep is stating this is within normal and that I should get oil changed/topped off every 3k miles. This is dangerous and unacceptable that oil consumption is so high that my engine randomly stalls because of low engine oil.

Tl- the contact owns a 2018 jeeo Renegade latitude. The contact stated while his daughter was driving at approximately 35 mph the oil pressure light unexpectedly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic to check the oil pressure and to refill the oil tank. The dealership was then contacted and informed the contact every 1,000 miles the vehicle needs a quarter of oil because there is an issue that they are working on. The manufacturer confirmed what the dealer said about the oil consumption. The approximate failur was 4,000-5,000 tp.

Car is excessively burning oil. It randomly shuts off going down the road. It has almost caused accidents.

The vehicle loses fuel pressure and burns oil when there is no present oil leak. The vehicle shuts off while in drive causing the wheel to lock.

My Renegade first gave me �issues� before the first oil change due date. Just 2 months after purchasing the vehicle brand new, it shut down while driving back from my beach vacation. I was driving 70 mph on interstate 65 and it just completely shut off. I had to coast from the flow of traffic onto the side of the interstate. My 8 year old son was also with me during this first of several dangerous encounters. It took me about 6 or 7 attempts at restarting my car and getting back in traffic before I finally made it safely home that day. Each of those attempts first resulted in the car shutting off and me coasting to the side of the interstate to avoid an accident. Every time my car is close to an oil change, within about 300-500 miles, it experiences the above scenario. It has taken several months to finally find the pattern and realize the problem. The problem is that the engine is burning an excessive amount of oil, running the car low on oil, and then the safety feature shuts off the car completely. This happens without any type of warning; no lights or any type of signal. This summer, I had to complete an oil consumption test on my vehicle. This consisted of me driving to the dealership every 1,000 miles for them to check my oil, chart how much it used, and fill it back up with oil. The distance from my house to the dealership is 35 miles; quickest route being a 46 minute drive. I had to repeat this process 5 total times. At the end of the 5,000 miles I was told by my service technician (allan) that I missed the cut off for receiving a new engine by about � quart of oil. He also expressed that his personal opinion may be different, but that the standard/guidelines was what he had to go by for diagnosing the results.

Car stalls when driving or coming to a stop. No 'check-engine' or 'check-oil' light or any other indication engine stall or failure. Told by dealer that this will occur when the oil is low. Stated this has been seen more often with this model and engine and that the engine is burning more oil than it should be.

New Jeep Renegade, excessive oil consumption on 2. 4l multiair engine. There is potential for low oil sensors to shut down engine in traffic, or worse for engine to freeze up. My first incident was at 2800 miles, 2500 since oil change. The engine was 3. 5 quarts low. Fearing damage or shut down I topped it off and took it to the dealer. Dealer only checked the dipstick, and since I had just filled it they declared they didn't see a problem. 2nd time was 700 miles later (town driving), 1 quart low, I made the same mistake of topping it off, and the dealer again said no problem. 3rd time I did not top off, and they now admit it's using too much oil finding it low by 1. 2 quarts in 1500 miles (highway driving). But they indicate they can't address the issue until 7500 miles are on the car per fca (manufacturer) guidelines. In addition fca says that 1 qt per 2000 miles is "normal". I am now at 5300 miles, so it remains unfixed and potentially dangerous to drive if I or my wife fail to add oil every 1000 miles. My two problems are a) the car engine is defective and should be replaced or fixed promptly as the warranty would indicate b) as a purchaser of a new car I should have been advised in either the warranty by other signature document that the car would potentially use 1 quart every 2000 miles under "normal" use. I attach the Jeep service bulletin on excess oil use. I have service documents from my dealer to substantiate my requests for relief and a fix, which I still wait for. There is no single incident, this is an on going problem that fca is not addressing (similar to the Toyota 2az-fe engine class action suit). Ask about my speed on this form I have said 50, but it varied from 20 to 65mph over a period of time.

Purchased vehicle in March, went to have first oil change done and there was a problem with the oil consumption. The dealership had me come in every 1000 miles and after the 3rd time the dealership said the problem wasn't getting better and they would need to replace my engine. So at 3000 miles I had to get my engine replacement. The day I picked my vehicle up from the service shop while driving doing 40 mph the car seized up on me and I had to make my way to safety and restart the vehicle. I informed my case manager and was told if it happened again take it into the shop. Month later on my way home with the kids in the Jeep doing 50 mph the vehicle seized up again and I had to pull off to safety and restart the vehicle. I took the Jeep in to the dealership that same day. 4 days later the dealership said they fixed it and I could come pick it. On Sunday, July 21st I was heading out of town on the highway doing 70 mph and the vehicle seized up on me. Went from 70 mph to 44 mph which almost caused an accident. There was 7 lanes of traffic and construction going on which made it hard to get off to the side. After that it took me 15 minutes to get back on the hwy and work my way across 7 lines of traffic. Once I made it to the right lane I heard a thump and my vehicle would not excel faster than 30 mph. I finally made it off the hwy and while sitting at the light the vehicle seized up again and I had to restart it 3 times to make it through the light.

Eninge between 2 oil changes has used 9 quarts of oil, has a high consumption of oil. Has 9300 miles, this second time I've noticed the engine completely out of oil was 4000 miles after oil change.

I bought a brand new 2018 Jeep Renegade. At approximately 2,500 miles the car would shut off on me while driving. No warning lights came on. It shut off twice while driving straight and twice while making left hand turns. After the first time it shut off, it didn't have the pickup it had before and seemed to sputter. I took it to a Jeep dealership and they said that I was out of oil. They topped it off and sent me on my way. At 5,500 miles my car shut off on me again while driving. This was very scary. It occurred while making a left hand turn at a large intersection. I thought I was going to get hit. Lost all power steering and car took time to restart. Again, the car sputtered after that and turned off a couple of more times before I could get back to dealership. My car is now in for an oil consumption test. I have researched this issue and see that there are many other complaints of the same issue. A brand new car should not be shutting off while driving. This is a safety issue. Some warning light needs to identify there is a problem. Checking the oil every 1,000 miles is unacceptable for a new car. This is very dangerous. Will it take lives lost for action to be taken?.

Burning oil stalled while driving vehicle could of been hit.

I have a 2018 Jeep Renegade that I first had this problem with at 5000 miles. Took it to dealership, they said they changed oil, and that I had to drive it for 1000 miles, mind you it had been stalling in traffic, if during the 1000 mile test stalling occured to bring it back to service dept. If no stalling occured then I was good. Well after 4000+ miles it happened again this time when I was 300 miles away from home, and in very heavy traffic. Sticker dealership put on my window was for oil change at 10087 miles, I was at 9600. Had car towed by roadside assistance and waited for Monday morning to go to dealership. First dealership literally sent me a text telling me I had to pay 135. 00 diagnosis labor cost up front, while my car is under warranty, I told them not to touch the car and had it towed to another dealer. They also gave me a very hard time, but finally after 5 hours told me it again was "oil consumption" issue, that they would do oil change, and that I am to take it in to dealership at 1000 miles regardless of issue happening again. Oh and they tried charging me 78. 25 for oil change, which was quickly changed to 0 by service manager who said I should not be charged anything since my car is under 10000 miles. So what I am supposed to go to dealership every 1000 miles??? I missed a day of work cause of this. This is completely unacceptable and a huge safety issue.

I was driving to work on a rural area road, going downhill and was preceding to turn right. I receive a warning that I had low oil pressure and the vehicle stalled. I read others have experienced the vehicle to shutdown completely , but this did not happen to me this time. When you check the oil it is in fact low. The engines oil consumption is ridiculous. Your engine may consume over three quarters of the required oil between oil changes. Mine was barely touching the dip stick and the vehicle holds 5. 5 quarts of oil. The dealership is not helpful as they say it is a common occurrence with the engine and they will just document it if I have trouble later on. This is something that should not be happening to any new vehicle and it's not common for a vehicle to use three quarters of the required oil within an oil change. My vehicle only has 5,249 miles on it and the first oil change. As a consumer we should not be expected to keep check of the oil consumption on a vehicle that is brand new.

The car is burning through oil around 1 quart for every thousand miles. When the oil is low the car will stall while driving which is dangerous. The car forces oil changes every 4000 miles roughly or the consumer constantly buying a special type of oil that costs more as well. The car will also not go into gear properly when the oil is low.
