Summary of Ongoing Issues with Shaver Automotive & Stellantis Regarding W80 Recall -Initial Reporting (December 2018): At 35,104 miles, I first reported engine stalling, performance issues, and excessive oil consumption to Shaver Automotive. -Recall Notification & Incomplete Testing (January 2024): I received a recall letter in January 2024 for the W80 oil consumption test. Shaver Automotive performed the first part of the test but instructed me to return for Part 2—which they subsequently delayed. -Delays & Failed Recall Test (July 2024–January 2025): From July to December 2024, Shaver ignored multiple requests to schedule the second test. In January 2025, part 2 of the test was finally conducted. W80 Recall test failed, prompting a promise of a new engine installation by mid-to-late March 2025. -Dealership Fraud & Negligence (March–June 2025): From March to June 2025, Shaver: -Ignored all follow-up requests for updates. -Falsified service records, including a fabricated appointment on 3/26/25 while I was out of town. -Falsified mileage on my Jeep at said fabricated appointment. -Closed my Stellantis case without notification, obstructing resolution. -Stellantis’ Failure to Intervene (2024–2025): Despite three active case numbers (#93024832, #93352240, #93372613), Stellantis repeatedly directed me back to Shaver Automotive, refusing to escalate or resolve the issue. -Legal & Ethical Violations: Shaver’s misconduct, mileage tampering, falsified documents, and deliberate delays, has left me with an unsafe vehicle for over 18 months, violating: -Consumer protection laws (e.g., Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act). -Recall compliance obligations under NHTSA guidelines. Stellantis’ negligence in overseeing its dealership network exacerbated the harm.

The engine cooling fan failed. The vehicle was repaired by Firestone, and we have the old parts in case an inspection is needed. This failure put myself and others at risk because had I not been close to home when the engine light came on, the engine would have overheated. My daily commute is over 50 miles, and this could have caused an accident if it had happened on the highway. The problem was confirmed by a service center (Firestone). The entire fan assembly needed to be replaced since the bracket was also broken. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. The check engine light first came on while I was driving home from the store on 5/31/25. Then, the A/C stopped cooling. I stopped by Advance Auto Parts Store, and they checked the engine code (P0481) and advised me to purchase a fuse. When I arrived home and checked under the hood, I found that there was indeed a blown fuse. After replacing the fuse, I noticed that the fan was shaking and rattling. I then took the vehicle to the local Firestone center and they diagnosed the problem. I searched online to see if other Renegade owners had reported problems with the engine cooling fan and found that there was a recall (Recall Number: V54 - Engine Cooling Fan) for 2015 - 2017 Jeep Renegades for this same issue. However, it seems that my vehicle was not included in the recall. I am requesting that my vehicle be included in the recall so I can be reimbursed for the $1,053 that I spent on this repair.

The jerking, delayed take off reported originally that was supposedly corrected with a motor replacement STILL happens. Spoken with multiple other Renegade drivers and tow truck drivers, the transmission appears to be the issue. Each recorded visit to the dealership has reported transmission ok. My safety is my absolute #1 concern. Want transmission checked, rechecked, repaired, replaced or whatever makes my driving life safe as possible.

8/23 I was informed of a recall on my engine due to oil consumption. I took my vehicle to Jeep & completed an oil consumption test being told my car was affected & the engine would be replaced. I was told that there’s a long wait & could be 6mos or more. I started calling after 6mos & was told over & over again the engine hadn’t arrived then referred to the manufacturer for resolution. The manufacturer said nothing was ever reported to them. I went to Autonation to get to the bottom of things & they’re acting like none of this ever happened while asking me what I want them to do about it smirking as if this is funny.
