Engine Oil Leaking Problems of Jeep Renegade

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!!.

Engine stalling saying shift into park. I had it towed to dealership and they are saying my oil is dangerously low. I had an oil change Wednesday April 1st and have noticed no oil leaks. This has to be the fuel pump causing this.

Vehicle stops abruptly. Having to add oil, no evidence off oil leaks.

Takata recall I was driving home and low oil pressure light came on then went out so when I got home I checked the oil it was empty no oil on dipstick then checked again then it showed full of oil did this 3 times doesnt leak and doesn't smell like its burning or losing power.

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.

I have stalled about 6 times while in motion on city street. Usually shortly after leaving. At 3,500 miles, turned the corner, stalled again. Not a drop of oil in it with no leaking, no smoke, no check oil or engine lights. Dealer said this is "normal". Has stalled since while in motion, with enough oil in the engine.

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 vehicle will drive fine then it powers down and stalls while moving. The restart procedure is to place the vehicle in park, press the brake the push the engine run button. This happens several times a day during normal operation of the vehicle and has happened in intersections. The manufacturer told me the engine is defective due to the casting process which causes it to lose oil that leaks into the engine somewhere and causes the engine to shutdown even while moving. They are replacing the engine but as this is a manufacturing issue I can't believe my vehicle is the only one with this issue. The vehicle is currently at the dealership. This issue occurred multiple times and without any warning whatsoever.

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.

Purchased vehicle in July 2015, with 12 miles on the odometer. Vehicle died while in motion at approximately 12 mph on may 2016. Had full electrical power, but engine would not turn over and ignition did not even make "click" noise. Towed by fca 24h service to the closest dealership (and not the one I bought it from and requested it go to). After 3 days was told that it needed oil, oil changed was performed, and that it was fine. Oil started "disappearing" - no leak, wasn't burning. Oil pressure light would come on continuously. Called fca to alert to problem and ask warranty questions. Was told to put oil in and that there were no problems with 2015 Renegades; warned rep that continued driving with no oil would seize engine. Called original dealership and was told to replicate the problem. Was able to replicate problem - engine seized, with only 9288 miles on it, on Aug 29 2016 while entering neighborhood at appx. 15 mph - first started shaking and rumbling loudly, sputtering and dying while in motion, engine light came on and would not start after that. Had towed to original purchase dealership. Was first told was a cylinder head and that was oil in the spark plug sockets and elsewhere (lucky it did not catch on fire while I was driving). Week later was told that a whole new engine would have to go in, as it was seized. Engine has finally been replaced after 30 days, as dealer had to wait for fca approval. Now out of pocket almost $400 for vehicle rentals and towing, despite fca promises to provide. Filed for buy back process and given run around. Have not had my vehicle for a total of 37 days this year - 35 which are consecutive. Still waiting for fca response; have called several times and rep will not return my calls. Stay far away from any fca produced vehicle that has the 9 speed automatic transmission.
