2017 Jeep Renegade

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!!

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. *TR

WHEN I STARTED MY JEEP THIS MORNING IT STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SHAKING STOP SO I CHANCED IT TO WORK. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER AND WOULD RATTLE A LITTLE. ANYTIME I MADE A TURN IT FELT LIKE THE JEEPS TIRES WERE SLIDING. IT'S TAKING A LOT LONGER TO PICK UP SPEED AND SEEMS TO BE FORCING ITSELF INTO GEAR. IN THE LAST FEW DAYS THOUGH MY LIGHTS HAVE BEEN FLICKERING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN THE RADIO WENT OUT FOR A FEW HOURS. THE OUTLETS (OLD CIGARETTE LIGHTER OUTLETS ) STOP WORKING TOO. DON'T KNOW IF IT'S RELATED TO THE REST BUT IT DID ODDLY START IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CAR JERKS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE SERVICE CENTER 4 TIMES FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO/ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD ENDLESS HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH JEEP/SERVICE CENTER TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. EACH TIME IT'S TAKEN INTO THE SHOP, THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET THE SAME ISSUE TO OCCUR. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS TO US ON A DAILY BASIS. I BASICALLY HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE IN JEEPS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AS WE'VE RECEIVED NO RESOLUTION YEARS LATER. I'VE ALSO BEEN INFORMED IT'S THE OPERATING SYSTEM WITHIN THE JEEP BEING A 9 SPEED, BUT IT DIDN'T DO THIS FROM THE START, IT OCCURRED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE.

ENGINE BURNS OIL TO THE POINT TO WHERE IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE WITHOUT CONSTANTLY ADDING OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS. THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS GASPING FOR AIR AFTER COMING TO A HALT AND THEN STARTING AGAIN(STOP SIGN, MAKING A LEFT TURN AFTER YIELDING TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ETC.). ADDITIONALLY, THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING ON BOTH SIDES IS COMPLETED BURNED AND MELTED. THIS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A WIRING ISSUE CAUSING TOO MUCH POWER TO GO TO THE BULBS OR THE RECOMMENDED BULBS MAY BE TOO HOT. THE ENGINE ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING THROUGH ALL 39,000 MILES ON IT. THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING CONCERN WAS JUST DISCOVERED ON 4/15/2020 HOWEVER I'M SURE THE ISSUE WAS PREVALENT BEFORE HAND. MANY FRIENDS OF MINE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED BOTH AFOREMENTIONED CONCERNS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET I GOT A WEIRD MESSAGE THAT SAID CAR MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT GEARS. I TURNED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT AND THEN THE CAR JUST STALLED OUT. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NO POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IT STALLED FOR 10-15 SECONDS THEN FINALLY TURNED OVER. AS MANY TIMES AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS ON THIS? TO HAVE YOUR CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHILE DRIVING IS DEFINITELY NOT IDEAL NOR IS IT SAFE TO SAY THE LEAST.

ON 3 OCCASIONS SINCE NEW MY CAR HAS CONSUMED ALL OF IT'S OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR MESSAGES OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS REALIZED. THE ONLY INDICATOR IS WHEN TURNING A CORNER, A LOW PRESSURE WARNING ILLUMINATES AND POWER IS CUT TO THE ENGINE, WHICH LEAVES ME UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THEN UPON CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL, NO OIL REGISTERS ON THE DIPSTICK. I'VE GOTTEN REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT 7500 MILE INTERVALS AS REMINDED BY THE ONBOARD SYSTEM. THE OIL IS FULLY GONE BY ABOUT 6000 MILES OR LESS.
