The pcv-(pressure control valve) works like a diaphragm breathing in and out, which then blocks liquid from entering the air intake and manifold.
The pcv will only work in one direction on the crankshaft/camshaft intake!.
Bought Jeep brand new and now has 17,000 miles on it. Have had injectors replaces. It has been to the shop several time for pcv valve freezing and causing cylinders to misfire. It has been burning oil and occasionally will just shut. In the last month it has been to the dealership 3 time and usually at least 2 days a pop. One of those times had it towed in at my expense. Very displeased with engine. Dealer told me they had no fix for the problem. So this is something I will have to deal with every winter. Not even safe to drive. Very disappointed. At one point shut off turning into my driveway where I was almost hit by a semi truck.

I had purchased a brand new 2018 Jeep Renegade trailhawk and before it had even reached the appropriate mileage to bring the vehicle in for its first standard service, I had discovered the engine was burning an excessive amount of oil. The vechile has stalled on me before while the car was in motion and whilst driving on busy highways. I have made multiple complaints with the dealership and made attempts to have the issue corrected (oil consumption test, replacing the pcv valve) and yet the issue still exists. Jeep staff members through the dealership along with members from Jeep headquarters keep attempting to inform me "it's normal, just keep putting oil in it. . " I am not satisfied with this response. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. It is not only hazardous to myself as the driver, but also the public when the car does stall.
