2017 Jeep Renegade

There is something wrong with the oil system. My 2017 Jeep Renegade burns through the oil, really bad. At approx 25,000 miles, I took it to the dealership, they ran a test and said I am within specs of burning a quart of oil for every 600 miles. What?? On a brand new vehicle? I have also experienced the vehicle shutting down in the middle of the highway! Dangerous and Scary! I will be driving along and all of a sudden the vehicle just shuts down, it takes a couple attempts to get it restarted. I put in a 1/2-1 quart of oil and it runs again. This shutting off in the middle of the road has been happening since 25,000 miles and I now have 119,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, he depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The contact stated that several minutes later the vehicle accelerated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a faulty throttle pedal sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000.

The component involved involves the oil. My Jeep keeps running out of oil to the point where we have to keep putting more in. A couple times the car has turned off because of this problem. I brought the car to my mechanic only to find out the oil was completely gone. I’m lucky the motor didn’t go. I do have the oil changed every 3,000 miles but after only 2000 miles I get the message saying I need an oil change. The car is only 6 years old and only has 36,000 miles on it. I don’t what is going on but to me it seems there is a leak somewhere. I am afraid to drive it.

The vehicle instrument panel begins flashing multiple warning lights while driving and subsequently while stopped such as emergency brake on, key fob left the vehicle, fuel engine, TPMS, etc. All of these occur while the vehicle is moving. While coming to a stop the power steering pump also becomes inoperative, the shift indicator (PRND) is blinking, and it is impossible to move the shift lever. The vehicle will not shut off until the battery is disconnected. The problem seems to manifest when ambient air temperature exceeds 80 Fahrenheit and the vehicle has been previously operated.

My 2017 Jeep Renegade limited with under 24k miles sky view stopped working. While attempting to close the sky view the process was sluggish, and struggled to close. I brought the vehicle to Princeton ChryslerJeep dealership om 5/3/23 where I purchased. I was instructed that they would assess the situation for 163.00 dollars and that would be applied to the repair . Much to my surprise I was instructed that the diagnostic test preformed found it was the motor component in the sky view that needed to be replaced. The dealership noted that the whole sky view needed to be replaced at an outside body shop for 6,500 dollars. The design would not allow a component to be replaced for repair. So the total cost would literally be 1/3 value of the car due to inferior design and no fault of the owner. My concern is why this is not covered when it was cleary a faulty design. and why was I charged 163 dollars for a 3 minute diagnostic test when obviously the dealer new of other issues jeep experienced with the sky view. (multiple complains on line. No warnings or symptoms leading up to sky view issue. Also took my jeep to dealer for regular oil change and maintence
