2016 Jeep Renegade

FIRST AT 25000 MILES ENGINE COOLING FAN WENT OUT AND RATTLED SO LOUD AND OVERHEATED HAD TO BE TOWED. TOOK DEALERSHIP A WEEK JUST TO GET THE PARTS. NOW AT 34000 MILES ENGINE DIED AND VEHICLE STOPPED ON HIGHWAY ON RAMP ALMOST CAUSING A SEVERE ACCIDENT. NO ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. I DROVE IT AND WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 10 MPH WHILE MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE THAN ENGINE DIES IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ALMOST ANOTHER ACCIDENT. FINALLY GOT RESTARTED AND QUIT AGAIN NOW EVERY LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON. POPPED THE HOOD AND ABSOLUTELY NO OIL IN ENGINE! WAS JUST AT DEALERSHIP THE WEEK BEFORE AND THEY DID THEIR MULTIPOINT INSPECTION AND MARKED OIL AS FULL? SO IN A WEEK IT LOST 5 QUARTS OF OIL? WAS TOWED AGAIN AND SAT AT DEALERSHIP FOR TWO WEEKS AS THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT ENGINE KNOCKING SOUND! THAN THEY CALL AND SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE!??. DROVE HOME SMELLING BURNT OIL AS ALWAYS SINCE NEW AND CHECKED DIPSTICK, THEY OVERFILLED IT BY AT LEAST A QUART! UNBELIEVABLE. ENGINE RUNS HORRIBLE AND IN 100 MILES HAS ALREADY DROPPED A QUART ON DIPSTICK. BLOWING OIL OUT EXHAUST PIPE. CAN'T TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER OR FIX!!???. TOTAL MOST RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS THING EVER GONE THROUGH. SOMEBODY WILL GET KILLED WITH A VEHICLE LIKE THIS. UNBELIEVABLE! 2.4L ENGINE

"POWER TRANSMISSION" IN JULY OF 2018 IN RUSH HOUR IN LAS VEGAS (5PM-5:30PM) WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE 2016 JEEP RENEGADE POWERED OFF & SHUT DOWN. HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART FOR THE VEHICLE TO START UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON A VERY BUSY STREET ROAD. IN AUGUST OF 2018 IN RUSH HOUR IN LAS VEGAS (4:30PM-5:30PM) WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE 2016 JEEP RENEGADE POWERED OFF & SHUT DOWN. HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART FOR THE VEHICLE TO START UP AGAIN. THIS OCCURRED ON A SLIGHTLY BUSY STREET ROAD. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. BOTH TIMES I WAS VERY LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CAR WAS EXAMINED AT AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS AT FAULT AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THIS PROCESS TOOK A MONTH. I WAS RELUCTANTLY GIVEN A LOANER CAR WITH A FEW CASE MANAGERS SAYING IT WAS A FAVOR OF CHRYSLER TO BE ALLOWING ME TO HAVE THIS LOANER CAR. NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW DANGEROUS THIS CAR WAS. HOW MY LIFE WAS AT STAKE. IT'S NOW APRIL 2019 AND THE SAME SIGNS I EXPERIENCED WITH THE DYING TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR ARE HAPPENING AGAIN. EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY AIR CONDITIONER MY CAR STARTS TO ACT SHAKY. A STRANGE SMELL GETS EMITTED, AND THE SHIFTING OF THE GEARS SLOWS DOWN. EVERY TIME I PARK MY CAR ON AN INCLINE AND I USE MY EMERGENCY BREAKS @ MY DRIVEWAY MY CARS BREAKS ARE SLOW TO RESPOND.
