2018 Jeep Renegade

MY RENEGADE TRAILHAWK CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING/TURNING. IN THE PAST TWO DAYS IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. EACH TIME MY SON WAS IN DANGER OF BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING AT A FAST SPEED (35/40 MPH). THESE STALLS OCCURRED ON BUSY STREETS (HOLME AVENUE - 19136; KNIGHTS ROAD - PHILADELPHIA, PA (GOING TO JEFFERSON TORRESDALE HOSPITAL TO WORK) AND FRANKFORD AVENUE AND GRANT AVENUE, PHILADELPHIA, PA) WHEN IT STALLED. THE "CHECK OIL" LIGHT CAME ON ONCE. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY. I JUST HAD THE CAR INSPECTED ON MARCH 28, 2019 - INCLUDING AN OIL CHANGE. HOW CAN A CAR THAT HAS A LITTLE OVER 3,000 MILES ON IT HAVE THIS HAPPEN. THIS JUST STARTED AND PUTS MY FAMILY IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS ALSO HAPPENED THE WEEK AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE - CALLED THE DEALER (REEDMAN TOLL) AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NO REPORTS OF IT HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE SO JUST KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

MY VEHICLE'S BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I TRIED TO BACK UP AND TURNED THE SHIFT INTO REAR, THE MONITOR USUALLY TURNS ON AUTOMATICALLY BUT ONCE IT DIDN'T AND STAYED ALL IN BLACK SCREEN. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ELECTRIC CONNECTION WAS LOOSE. IT WAS BACK ON. BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN LATER SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AGAIN AND THEY SAY THE MONITOR WORKS AND THEY DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM. NEXT DAY IT TURNED ALL BLACK AGAIN. IT KEEPS HAPPENING. SOMETIMES IT WORKS. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.

WHEN DRIVING AT LONG PERIODS OF TIME AT HIGHER RPM'S (2500-3000), ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON AN INCLINE, TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO SHIFT HARD, NOT GO INTO GEAR PROPERLY, OR JUST SIMPLY GO INTO NEUTRAL, AND SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN RAPIDLY. WHEN TRAVELING ON THE DECLINE, THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. VEHICLE HAS 4800 MILES ON IT. SPOKE TO DEALER, AND SERVICE TECH INFORMED ME IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME HE'S HEARD THIS COMPLAINT.

I HAD PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 JEEP RENEGADE TRAILHAWK AND BEFORE IT HAD EVEN REACHED THE APPROPRIATE MILEAGE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR ITS FIRST STANDARD SERVICE, I HAD DISCOVERED THE ENGINE WAS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE VECHILE HAS STALLED ON ME BEFORE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WHILST DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE ISSUE CORRECTED (OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, REPLACING THE PCV VALVE) AND YET THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. JEEP STAFF MEMBERS THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP ALONG WITH MEMBERS FROM JEEP HEADQUARTERS KEEP ATTEMPTING TO INFORM ME "IT'S NORMAL, JUST KEEP PUTTING OIL IN IT.." I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS RESPONSE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT IS NOT ONLY HAZARDOUS TO MYSELF AS THE DRIVER, BUT ALSO THE PUBLIC WHEN THE CAR DOES STALL.

JEEP STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 75 ON CRUISE CONTROL; WE WERE IN THE PASSING LINE WITH SEMI TRUCKS BEHIND US SO WE HAS NOTHING CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER UNTIL WE COULD SAFELY MOVE THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. CAR CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSTIC DID NOT SHOW ANY ISSUES; I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS HOT AND BECAUSE I DROVE IT MORE THAN 5 HOURS. JEEP IS STUCK 12 HRS FROM WHERE I LIVE AND THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR.
