Engine Burning Oil Problems of Jeep Renegade - part 2

2019 Jeep Renegade latitude purchased brand new in April 2019. Buring oil issues: (first started on 8/27) - 4600 miles in. Low pressure light came on. Had to add 3 quarts of oil sae 0-20. Didn't contact dealer thought they just miss calculated the quarts of oil and added it myself. (8/31) -4698 miles in. Got the first oil change (a few days later after I added 3 quarts) just to make sure there was a full 5. 5 quarts starting fresh). (10/22) -6980 miles in. (only 2000+ miles into new oil change) now the "oil change required" light is on, being low on oil. I have a service date scheduled with the Jeep dealer for 11/2/2019. I'm not topping it off the oil on purpose out so they can diagnose the problem the way it is and it's recorded. Also been researching online and it looks like I'm not the only one with this problem (their are may). Seems the 2. 4l engine is burning through oil (averaging 1 quart every 1000 miles). This is dangerous and totally unacceptable in a brand new vehicle. Chrysler needs to step up, take responsibility and fix the problem immediately before someone stalls in mid-drive and gets killed. Some people experience no warning lights at all until it's happening. I'm sure the dealer will come up with many excuses on 11/2 so I'm being pro-active with reporting my issues. I'm just surprised with all on-going reports and complaints I read online the 2. 4l engines excessive oil consumption is not already a major priory recall for the Jeep Renegade. Safety needs to come first!!.

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.

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.

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.

Extreme oil consumption, which can cause the oil to go unusually low, causing stalls at speed. After some online researching, this appears to be a larger issue that Jeep has not yet acknowledged. I had my oil changed at the dealership on 4/20/19, and I've gone just about 3k miles since then. I started stalling while driving, and checked the oil, and it was pretty much bone dry. 5. 5 quarts of oil gone in 3 months/3k miles (note - the Jeep recommended interval "based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in the instrument cluster", in other words, there is no recommended interval for normal driving, you are to rely on the oil change indicator light to alert you. For "severe duty", I. E. : the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road environment or is operated predominately at idle or only very low engine rpm�s, Jeep recommends oil changes at 4k miles. This is the 2nd time I have experienced this issue with this vehicle. The first time, after some scary stalls (at speed, the vehicle loses all power and needs to be restarted, and the change oil indicator comes on), I brought it in for service, and was told that I just must've burned through a lot. Now I know that is not the case. Other than being an inconvenience (having to constantly check oil on a two year old vehicle), this is a safety issue. The vehicle just stalls out, dies, and the indicator light comes on. At speed, this could be deadly. From researching online, I found that you need to ask for an oil consumption test at the dealership. Many are getting engines replaced as a result. I am going to schedule another appointment with the dealer and see what they can find.

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.

Vehicle has stalled numerous times in traffic. "low oil pressure" will come on briefly and then engine fails. Sometimes while turning if vehicle does not come to complete stop. Vehicle is burning through oil all though no leaks are detected or visible even after oil has been changed.

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.

Driving down a long winding hill when acceleration and brakes went out. I was able to stop the car with the emergency brake. No warning lights before or during. Towed to dealership where I was told that it had burned through 4 quarts of oil and that I needed to take it back to do an oil consumption test. There is no way I'm getting back into a vehicle that has no brakes during safe mode and has no warning that anything is wrong. Jeep needs to get these off of the road before it kills someone.

When I turn the vehicle on and start driving, if I slow down and begin to accelerate it gives a warning stating low oil pressure and then the vehicle will stall while I'm driving. This happens when I am going anywhere from 15 to 20 miles per hour. The vehicle burned through 3 quarts of oil between oil changes. It also slams into gear when running low on oil.

Oil consumption issues. Car shuts off while driving without any warning. This almost caused me to be involved in a car crash. This occurred three times within 24 hours with my car. Took the car to Jeep service and the attendant stated that this car "consumes 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles" and that I should call corporate. When I brought the car to Jeep it was out of oil with no warning of a need for an oil change or that I was low on oil. When I bought this car from the dealership I was not made aware that I would need to change the oil this often and that this car "consumes" this much oil requiring constant service. It is also not stated in the owners manual. The issue with this car could cause a horrible collision, as while the car is in motion it completely turns off the engine. When this happened to me I was in the middle of a turn and when I pressed the gas to accelerate the car just rolled because the engine was shut off and I had no power steering. As this occurred another car was coming, luckily they had a stop sign.

Tl-the contact leased a 2007 Jeep Renegade. While driving 20 mph the vehicle stalled however restarted. . There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to klaben Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram inc. 1106 w main st, kent, OH 44240 (330) 673-3139 where diagnosed that oil and a oil consumption test was needed. The vehicle was not repaired however the failure recurred. . The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 18,400. Ap.

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.

My 2017 Renegade Jeep is stalling at stop lights, stop signs, or as I accelerate to leave a stop light or stop sign. I almost got hit by a 18 wheeler truck 2 weeks ago because the Jeep stalled and I could not move out of the truck's way. My Jeep also accelerates, or loses power. It is rattling since 3 months after I bought it. It has a problem with massive oil consumption and I am afraid I may have a fire. I have alerted russell westbrook Jeep dealership where I bought it 9/10/2017. These problems have gotten worse since 3/01/2019.

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.

Oil consumption. Needed 1quart of oil every 1000 miles. It will stall when low on oil.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the engine burned excessive oil and the oil indicator illuminated. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled while driving various speeds without warning. The contact stated that after the most recent oil change, the fuel pressure and check engine warning indicators illuminated. She checked the engine and noticed there was little oil left in the vehicle. The contact discovered NHTSA campaign number: 18v131000 (engine and engine cooling), which she associated with the failure. The contact called landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (6850 mt zion blvd, morrow, GA 30260, (770) 968-4900) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000.

My vehicle started to shut off without warning on 3 occasions. I checked my oil and I saw that it was running low so I put 2 quarts of oil in on Thursday 12/13/18. I checked and the oil stick and the level was at the medium level on the stick. I took my car to the dealer 12/17/18 to have it looked at. I was told that I had no oil in my car which was impossible since I had just put oil in the car. The dealer recommended that I drive 500 miles and then come back for an oil consumption test.

Around 40,000 miles my car started consuming oil at an alarming rate. The dealership service department said it was normal for my car to consume 1 quart per 750 miles! that is insane. That said, Chrysler guideline for cars is 1 quart per 2000 miles for cars below 50,000 miles. The dealership has refused to repair my engine. I can't even go 2500 miles on an oil change without my car seizing up, stalling, having errors codes (low oil pressure, oil light comes on, electrical error), won't accelerate over 35 miles per hour. This all happens while I'm driving with no warning! very dangerous on a freeway! even the guideline for cars over 50,000 miles the guideline being the car can burn 1 quart every 750 miles is ridiculous. I've owned older models that never did that. Is this a new car thing? new cars just burn ridiculous amounts of oil? to what end?.

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.

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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade sport. The contact stated that every month a quarter of oil needed to be added to the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to nyle maxwell Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of austin 13401 ranch rd 620 n, austin, TX 78717(512) 518-1097 where they stated that they would have to do an oil consumption test.

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.
