My 2017 jeep renegade has stalled multiple times while driving and also while stopping in traffic. the car just stops and i get a warning about shifting to park and starting, which is dangerous in traffic. when trying to restart, the starter is very slow and will eventually start again. all scheduled maintenance and oil changes have been regularly made. this is a vehicle safety ssue that needs nvestigating.
When i am driving my 2017 jeep renegade, which has an automatic transmission, the car will occasionally stall while the car is moving. a message will show on the dash that says 'shift vehicle to park' or something along those lines. i will go from driving normally, to having 0 rpms while i'm still moving. i turn the car off. i wait a minute. i try to start the car and it won't start, it just keeps cranking. eventually, and after many failed attempts and fear of ruining the starter, i manage to get the car started, but barely. when it does finally start, i wait a few seconds and am then able to drive again normally. this has happened more than several times now in the past year. it is also worth noting that i schedule my vehicle for regular oil changes as recommended, but i often get an oil pressure low warning, sometimes right before the vehicle stalls. i often have to add quarts of oil to my vehicle, even with regular oil changes. i drive an average of 12,000 miles a year and i do not abuse my vehicle. when researching my problem i came across two remarkably similar issues in other 2017 jeep renegades. these two recalls do not show up when i check my vehicle's vin against active recalls. it seems like more than a coincidence and i am asking that you broaden your scope for this issue in jeep renegades, because i or my family could be in danger while driving.
My son was driving home - city street - it was snowing and icy - the car stalled out and he swerved to the right jumped the curb and ran into a pole and tree.*dt*tp i have read several complaints for this vehicle in stalling out as well as recalls. the issue is supposedly repaired but it comes back doing the same thing. due to this accident this has caused us to have body work to be done as well as other issues. the most important issue is my son could have been killed.*jb *dt*tp
Vehicle has 14000 miles, has stalled six times in 13 months. most recently, driving less than one block away, made a right turn into a parking lot and lost all power, dash instructions stated that vehicle must be in p to shift gears. i was not shifting gears. vehicle had to be shut off, would not restart until attempted three times. the recall does not include my vehicle but absolutely should as it is the exact same issue as the recalled jeep renegades. this is extraordinarily dangerous to everyone on the road. i have taken my jeep to the dealership multiple times, they tell me they can't find the issue or that it needs an oil change again. my owner's manual states that the vehicle will tell me when it needs an oil change, dealership says not to follow the manual, to change the oil every 1,000 miles. this is the most serious of the issues i have had with this vehicle but have had numerous parts replaced in the first year of ownership of a brand new vehicle. purchased brand new at $27000, now worth $14000 and i cannot even drive it without risking stalling at highway speed. it appears that this is pretty significant issue for other owners of this vehicle, why is nothing being done? hopefully it won't take fatalities to widen the scope of the recall of this vehicle.
I was driving my jeep renegade and it just cut off in the middle of me driving for no reason, the only thing that it showed on the dash was you must put your car in park to shift. there were no warning lights or anything. i took it to the jeep dealer they plugged it in said there are no codes it's fine. i left went across the street to work. when i left i pulled out into traffic and it cutoff. i got it started after a few tries and started on my way to the dealership. when i went to pull in it cutoff again. service plugs it in, no codes, he wanted me to drive it home and come back in the morning. i'm like it cutoff twice in traffic, your keeping it. he calls this morning says it needs a new motor there wasn't any oil in it. then he calls back later says chrysler says i have to do an oil consumption test and that they are designed to cutoff if there is no oil pressure. what if i was going 70 down the interstate and it cutoff. what if my 16 year old daughter was driving it and it cutoff. in looking up problems with this vehicle it is a known fact and happens all the time. how can they sell a vehicle that just shuts off when it feels like it with no warning or warning lights.
2017 jeep renegade trailhawk 4x4 with 35000 miles. stalled twice on me in the last two days. both times i was going less than 15mph turning onto a street. engine just died and it told me to put in in park. i did and the first time it started again after some sputtering. second time it took several attempts before the car would start. also, the low oil pressure indicator comes on randomly for a split second sometimes when i turn the vehicle. i had the same problem about 8 months ago. i took it to the dealer and they told me the transmission computer needed to be updated. they did that and it seemed to fix the issue until it happened again this week. i am taking it to the dealer again tomorrow and asking them to check the oil pump to see if it is cracked even though my specific jeep is not on the recall list.
The engine stalled while i was turning. i turned my vehicle off and back on and the engine wouldn't start. i did this again and the engine eventually started.
I had just left for work today, driving on the street, when 2017 jeep renegade desert hawk suddenly stalled i was able to coast to the side of the road. a message came on the dashboard with instruction to put the vehicle in park and press start button. i did so and the engine tried to start, but didn't. tried a second time and engine sputtered and eventually started. low oil pressure light has also been flashing on when making quick turns. only stays on a couple of seconds. this then happened again after i had just left work. purchased vehicle new, i'm the only driver and it has 20,500 miles. about a year ago, the same happened. i told the dealer shop, when i was getting an oil change, about this issue. they said nothing was wrong with the vehicle. this issue occurs when i first start it in the morning and when it has been sitting awhile and i start it (like when i go home from work).
Started having problems with the car shifting very hard at random times and at various speeds while driving. dealer said there was no problem the first time we had it inspected and could not reproduce it at the shop. we continued to have these problems and started to hear our valves knocking so we checked to oil. the oil was two quarts low and barely on the dip stick. we were only midway through oil change and we only service our car at the dealer. we took car to dealer and they said that using a quart of oil every 2000 miles is normal. it may be normal for this car but it is not normal for any car we have ever owned. it is unacceptable that they did not inform us at oil changes that we were having trouble maintaining our oil levels. this would eventually cause our car engine to fail and create a safety hazard while driving as the engine could turn off from lack of oil. this is unacceptable for jeep to keep this manufacturing defect a secret because the research i have done has shown that this is a systemic problem with this vehicle.
Engine stalled two times on different occasions while driving. this occurred both times while turning on a city street at an intersection. vehicle brought to dealership same day of second occurrence. service department found no oil on dipstick. oil consumption test being performed at this time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. the contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated. the contact stated that the vehicle vibrated when in use and the engine seemed to have reduced power. the contact called roseville automall (located at 100 automall dr, roseville, ca 95661, 916-782-5999) and was informed that the cylinder misfired and caused the fuel pressure to regulate incorrectly. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that nhtsa campaign number: 18v131000 (engine and engine cooling) was issued based on a bill date. the contact's bill date needed to be corrected and a representative from the manufacturer would be in contact. the manufacturer opened a case regarding the matter. the approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
My check engine light came on and my engine started overheating. the radiator cooling fan just stopped working for no reason. it also blew out the relay amd fuse. i was told that this is out of warranty and a new fan assembly needs to be installed. the jeep is only two years old and has 39,232 miles on it. after researching this is i find out that at least 66 other 2017 jeep remegade owners have had their radiator fans go out at 40,000 miles. this isn't an isolated issue and the part has to be recalled. chrystler and jeep are unhelpful and unwilling to admit to the problem.
Engine has stalled twice under exertion at low speed. low oil pressure light comes on especially when making turns and engine runs roughly.
While driving down the road jeep flashes all lights on dashboard and just shuts down. doesn't matter where you are or how fast you are going, just powers down and you have to figure out how to roll off the road out of traffic. had it to the dealership several times for the same thing, keep getting told this is "normal" and i should change my synthetic oil at 4,000 miles and this shouldn't happen
Bought a car on november 1st they did an oil change it is low on oil now and it's november 21 2019 car only has 24465 miles
Ever since the beginning of november 2019, my renegade has been stalling when i am in the middle of driving. it started out to be a couple of times but it now does it every time i turn it on and drive. it has stalled on me when i have been in the middle of busy roads and has almost caused accidents. i notice that it will stall if i am turning a corner or if i have just started it up and driving off within the first few minutes. i know there are a lot of complaints by other 2017 renegade owners but i have the deserthawk edition and i haven't seen anything for my model. i take very good care of it and it is only a couple of years old. the stalling problem that i am having seems to only be getting worse.
The 2.4 lt engine is consuming oil at an accelerated rate. about 2.5 qts every 1000 miles. at times this causes the car to stall when accelerating and turning into traffic. this has been ongoing since the car was purchased and before the first scheduled oil change. the deal is recommending replacing the engine after 3-4 services. the dealership has us bringing the car into for service topping off the oil and having us report back every 1000 miles.*dt
According to the dealer i must check my oil every 1k miles to check the oil level. this is about the 3rd time my car has stopped in the middle of traffic. when i call the dealer all they say is did you check your oil. the last time this happened was on sun, nov 3, 2019. why are companies allowed to sell products they are fully aware have defects, to turn around and make it the consumers responsibility.
Car will stall when slowing to a stop. have to shut down and put in park. then when try to re start the engine sounds wierd and quiet and qppears to crank and crank until it finally starts. this happens always shortly after starting to drive. it happened a few days in a row and no occasionally for no reason. it leaves me stuck in the middle of traffic. very dangerous.*jb
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving 55 mph, the vehicle began to hesitate and the low tire pressure warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to ryburn motor company (located at 156 us-425, monticello, ar 71655, (870) 367-5353), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 63,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving approximately 25 mph, the contact attempted to slow down and depressed the brake pedal. when the brake pedal was released, the vehicle lost acceleration and stalled. the contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and "press the brake pedal, push start button to start engine" appeared on the message center. after a couple of attempts, the vehicle restarted. the vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer or an independent mechanic. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 35,000.
Cooling fan failure while driving under normal conditions, problem reported and diagnosed by dealer. they indicated would be ok to drive until next scheduled service interval. car overheated was returned to dealer for repair and concluded not a warranty issue which is unfair due to the amount of these failures reported on the internet. attached invoice of $ 817.63 in repairs we have unfairly had to pay.
Vehicle stalls without warning or error message. generally when starting on a steep hill or when accelerating quickly from stop as in when entering a freeway onramp. i drive mostly in the city with lots of hills. vehicle does start back up, but tends to be more prone to stalling once its happened. i think it may be linked to oil pressure since that message did come up once of the 20 times its happened. when oil is topped off it doesn't seem to happen, but there is no warning about oil being low or low pressure generally. i looked this up on a jeep renegade forum and it appears a bunch of people have had the issue. 2018 versions of this vehicle appear to have a recall in effect for 2 different issues that sound identical to what im experiencing. my guess is that the current recalls should apply to my vehicle as well. id mainly like to make you aware of the issue, but also get any update about whether a recall for my vehicle is likely as id rather not pay for these repairs out of pocket as they seem complex.
My 2017 jeep renegade stalled on the highway. i took it to my jeep dealership and after only two years they have to replace the engine. i always did the oil maintenance as recommended. i have found there are numerous complaints from other owners of that same year having the same engine issues. there are 5 pages of complaints on car complaints.com. this is so upsetting to me since i could have been in a serious crash when my renegade stalled on the highway while in motion. why wasn't there a recall??
Low oil pressure warning, vehicle had burned up 5qts of oil between oil changes 5000 miles barley any oil on dipstick. car stalled in intersection as driver accelerated. vehicle has been serviced regularly and had oil changes before service date and prior to this incident.
The vehicle loses power while driving. slows down as the gas peddle is depressed then abruptly begins to speed back up. the transmission also jerks sometimes while increasing or decreasing speed. while driving on the highway.
I was driving when all of a sudden my car started losing power. the display read "put car in desired drive mode" and then changed to "low oil pressure". at this point my car was stopped in the middle of the road. i could shift gears but it did nothing to resolve the problem. i pressed the start/stop ignition to completely shut off my car. i gave it a minute before trying to start it again. even when i attempted to start the car it took a bit to get it to turn over. it had been just over 2 months since my last oil change so i thought that it was odd that i had low oil pressure. i made an appointment at my local dealership. after inspecting my car they noticed that i had no oil in my car. the mechanic that pulled the dipstick said it was smoking when he pulled it out because it was so dry. they did an oil change and told me that the 2.4l engines in the 2017 renegade tend to burn oil faster than other engine models. i was told to come back in 500 miles so that they could check my oil. fast forward 2 weeks and i hit 500 miles. i made my appointment and took my car into the dealership. they checked my engine and ran a consumption test. in 500 miles i burned through 2quarts of oil. my renegade made it to 27,392 miles before this issue. i was being told that i would get a new motor. they had my car for about 5 days and i now have a new motor. but it is still a 2.4l, so what is to say this won't happen again? this is the second chrysler product that i had to get a new motor before 30,000 miles due to a factory defect. the other was for a 2013 dodge dart. i no longer trust chrysler products.*dt*jb
Engine cooling fan was replaced at 50 thousand miles, codes show that that is malfunctioning the transmission threw codes dead battery. it locks up and doesn't want to start even after replacing the battery.their was two different sensors that threw a code. i've gotten a message to service the airbags.on everything i have told you the car was sitting still. except on the transmission, when it goes from 3rd gear to passing gear it shifts really hard. and it feels like it's going to stall out. i maintain regular oil changes .average of 1 per month. it's been well taken care of. at 50 thousand miles it started having a lot of little things go wrong. i feel like i bought a lemon and no one is willing to admit it.
Cooling fan failure. cooling fan is rattling and inconsistent. leads to overheating. limited fca "customer satisfaction recall" (v54) does not cover all affected vehicles.
Cooling fan failure. fuse blew on fan and led to rapid spike in coolant temperature. led to p0481 check engine light code. replaced blown fan fuse but fan cycles on and off and seems to be wobbling or have bearing problems. based on searches, this is a common problem on the jeep renegade but chrysler has not issued a recall for 2017 years.
Low oil pressure light flashed on. checked oil when got home and it was 2.5 quarts low. had the oil changed 5,000 miles ago. it only has 16,000 miles on the vehicle. previous oil change showed over a quart low as well.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact called jacksonville chrysler dodge jeep ram (11101 nurseryfields drive, jacksonville, fl 32256), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to nhtsa. the contact stated that the failure was similar to nhtsa campaign number: 18v731000 (fuel system, gasoline). the failure mileage was 29,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, waited a few minutes, and then restarted the vehicle. the contact stated that the failure occurred for approximately five months. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
Extreme oil consumption, which can cause the oil to go unusually low, causing stalls at speed. after some online researching, this appears to be a larger issue that jeep has not yet acknowledged. i had my oil changed at the dealership on 4/20/19, and i've gone just about 3k miles since then. i started stalling while driving, and checked the oil, and it was pretty much bone dry. 5.5 quarts of oil gone in 3 months/3k miles (note - the jeep recommended interval is: "based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in the instrument cluster", in other words, there is no recommended interval for normal driving, you are to rely on the oil change indicator light to alert you. for "severe duty", i.e.: the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road environment or is operated predominately at idle or only very low engine rpm's, jeep recommends oil changes at 4k miles. this is the 2nd time i have experienced this issue with this vehicle. the first time, after some scary stalls (at speed, the vehicle loses all power and needs to be restarted, and the change oil indicator comes on), i brought it in for service, and was told that i just must've burned through a lot. now i know that is not the case. other than being an inconvenience (having to constantly check oil on a two year old vehicle), this is a safety issue. the vehicle just stalls out, dies, and the indicator light comes on. at speed, this could be deadly. from researching online, i found that you need to ask for an oil consumption test at the dealership. many are getting engines replaced as a result. i am going to schedule another appointment with the dealer and see what they can find.
We have our oil changed regularly at the same place as soon as the oil change light comes on or we meet the mileage listed on the last oil change sticker, whichever comes first. we had the oil changed may 14, 2019 and drove maybe 2500 miles since that date. lastnight my husband and kids were in the car suddenly it stalled and the low oil pressure light came on. the unit then was fine and started back up with no issues, then this morning the same thing. he called the dealer we got it at and they got it in right away. said it was showing very little oil, but no visible leaks. im sorry i understand wanting to save an engine but what about lives if it stalls and causes an accident. also if the oil is that low, why did the oil change light not come on. to me this showing numerous reports and issues and nothing is being done. why chrysler. is it going to take a death and law suit for you to care about your consumers and their safety?!? im thinking about contacting a lawyer as now my kids are afraid to ride in the vehicle.
Fuel pump module: issues addressed by recall remain unresolved. was told by dealer that there was a part available, then had our appointment cancelled because they had run out. driving the car with this issue is dangerous as the car tends to stall when accelerating onto a highway or when making a turn. we have barely avoided accidents on several occasions due to stalling, including one with a semi-truck. engine: hard idle when cold. engine rattles loudly. power train: when car is accelerated to 30 mph range, it "hiccups" or jerks when accelerator is pressed. we have taken the car in for this issue numerous times, but every time we are told that the "computer isn't picking anything up" and problem remains unresolved.
I have had to take in my vehicle to our dealership twice within 2 months on the same issue. the car has been sputtering at idle and also when accelerating. when the car is traveling in between 25-30mph the transmission gets a hard kick, it almost feels as if you are getting hit from behind. they have replaced the throttle body, ignition coil, spark plug wires, and spark plugs. the vehicle is under 32,000 miles and is mostly driven in town, i feel it is unsafe to drive out of town because it shakes violently when traveling at 65mph or higher.
Cooling fan went out some electrical power outlets weren't working oil change signal light won't reset when making turns car skids and the 4x4 control kicks in vehicle is shaking, engine problem
I driving and the care turn off??? very dangerous ' then the low oil pressure light shows... took into dealer and they say chrysler know about this issue. with the jeep 2017 i have 30,000 miles should not happen... what is chrysler going to do i want an answer . i have to come in every 1000 miles to have my oil checked and if problems continue a new engine. sound like new car. put a new engine in to just have the same problem...no..... this has happen to me 3 time engine turning off... low pressure oil only once but when i brought to dealer it was 2 qtrs. low... i take my car regular to get oil chg., jones dealer in belair md i need to know what you all plan on doing... very dangerous to drive knowing this
Was driving on the freeway at 70mph when the car suddenly lost power. thankfully i was able to get to an exit and pulled over safely. car would start back up, but sputter and die. let it sit for 10 minutes and was able to get it started and drive away, 5 minutes later, car dies again. same problem, sputtering, no power. called jeep and was towed to dealership.
Left a local drive thru and jeep began idling hard. drove on a busy roadway and lost speed until car was at 0mph (was originally at 45mph) turned car off on busy intersection and turned back on. car drove 1.5 miles down the road and lost speed again. was able to pull into gas station and have car towed to greenway jeep in orlando. check engine light did come on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds they would hear a rattling and knocking noise coming from underneath the front passenger seat. the vehicle's rear middle seat belt failed to latch and lock into the buckle. the rear driver side seat belt failed to retract. the vehicle's oil change/ check engine light remained illuminated despite recently having the motor changed, therefore oil levels being met. the braking park assist warning light was illuminated as well. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer (larry h miller colorado jeep located at 350 s havana st. aurora, co 80012; phone number 720-262-2215) who stated the lower transmission mount was fractured and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the seatbelts were repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and opened a case regarding an issue. the approximate failure mileage was 11.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving at unknown speeds, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. in addition, the vehicle failed to shut off. the vehicle was towed to kendall dodge chrysler jeep ram (13355 sw 137th ave, miami, fl 33186), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 22,000.
Since april of 2019, my jeep renegade has been dying while my 16 year old daughter has been driving it. we received notification of a fuel pump recall, so we thought it could be related to that problem. we did inform our dealer, jim hayes, inc., of the dying issue and they said they would check the oil and look into it. when i picked up the vehicle on friday, may 31, i was told that it had been extremely low on oil, and that i would need to bring it in every 1000 miles to have them check to see if the engine was using too much oil. they said this could be the cause of the dying issue and that this has been an issue with other chrysler/jeep vehicles. i was then informed that it could possibly need a new engine. the dealer fixed the fuel pump recall on thursday, may 30. however, after driving it on may 30, it died randomly while driving it on four separate occasions. i immediately returned the vehicle to jim hayes, inc. on may 31 so they could fix the problem. on monday, june 3, i was told that the dealer couldn't duplicate the dying issue and that they were unsure of how to diagnose the problem. however, that did not make sense because they told me on the previous friday that it was a common problem and it could need a new engine. after reading several jeep forums, i discovered that this is a common issue that needs addressed. i am deeply concerned that i have purchased a car for my 16 year old that is now a safety hazard and i am at the mercy of jeep and the dealer. as a normal citizen, who is a teacher, i do not have the financial ability to purchase multiple cars and i should be able to trust that a car that is fairly new is safe enough for my daughter to drive. it disturbs me that this issue has been reported and the jeep corporation is not addressing the problem. i fear that my daughter, who is a new driver, will be involved in a wreck.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. on several occasions, while driving various speeds, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the coolant fan was off centered and the fuse needed to be replaced. the fuse was replaced; however, the failure recurred. the contact stated that the coolant fan was currently inoperable. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 36,719.
Oil consumption issues. car shuts off while driving without any warning. this almost caused me to be involved in a car crash. this occurred three times within 24 hours with my car. took the car to jeep service and the attendant stated that this car "consumes 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles" and that i should call corporate. when i brought the car to jeep it was out of oil with no warning of a need for an oil change or that i was low on oil. when i bought this car from the dealership i was not made aware that i would need to change the oil this often and that this car "consumes" this much oil requiring constant service. it is also not stated in the owners manual. the issue with this car could cause a horrible collision, as while the car is in motion it completely turns off the engine. when this happened to me i was in the middle of a turn and when i pressed the gas to accelerate the car just rolled because the engine was shut off and i had no power steering. as this occurred another car was coming, luckily they had a stop sign.
On may 11th my jeep renegade with 19,637 miles died on the side of the road and never restarted. at the time, the reason was unknown and no warning lights. it acted like it was out of gas; luckily i was able to get off a buy road. it was towed 5 hours later(roadside assist that came with the vehicle sucked too) to autoland (where i purchased the vehicle brand new in august 2017) they had my car for almost a week before they even contacted me about the car. on may 17th they called and told me i needed a new engine and wanted proof of vehicle maintenance. i brought in proof of 3 oil changes and a tire rotation. i asked why i needed a new engine and they told me it didnt have any compression; i asked why and junior said "i don't know" on may 23 i called and asked what's up because i am renting a vehicle out of pocket and i need a loaner. junior said "i can't just give people free cars and i don't have one anyway" i asked about the status of my car and he said he hasn't heard from the warranty people yet. i told him they had my car for more than 10 business days and the next call will be from my lawyer. i got a call 10 minutes later saying my engine is under warranty and it will take 3 to 5 business days to get my vehicle back. was told it will be ready on the 28th. i called on the 28th and they haven't even received the engine (allegedly) that it will be another week. here it is june 4th and i haven't heard from them yet. i called jeep chrysler hq and they were so rude and useless. not concerned that their brand new vehicles needs new engines at less than 20,000 miles. i am still paying for a rental, not receiving any cooperation from dealership, lemon law lawyers or corporate. smh. i have to make a payment on a vehicle i have not had in nearly a month! a brand new car with 16 original miles when purchased. can anyone offer advise or assistance? so upset & frustrated!
Tl* the contact leased a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was able to restart and was taken to klaben chrysler jeep dodge ram (1106 w main st, kent, oh 44240, (330) 673-3139) where it was diagnosed that an oil consumption test was needed. the vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 18,400.
My car begin sputtering, stalling when i pressed on the gas as if it was not getting enough gas, my indicator lights on the panel of the car would just start to go crazy causing the seatbelt sign to begin to ding and ding and ding, even though i had my seat belt on. i took the car to be looked at and was told that there is a recall on the vehicle that i should look up. i did and there were three recalls involving my vehicle, two of which related directly to the problems i was having. i contacted chrysler who said my vin number was not included in the recall. i asked how that is possible when exactly what i am experiencing is exactly what they listed. she told me to take the car back to the dealership have them check it out and if they determined that this was the problem then they would not to call and tell them that. i immediately contacted the dealer and spoke with service who explained why should they have to contact chrysler when it's not their problem. i said sir, i am only following instructions. he then went on to explain to me that well they could look at the car but it would cost me $230 to do a diagnostic. i asked why i would have to for that and he said "he has to pay his people". i made an appoint and took the car. when they called they worded everything in a manner that would remove me from the recall, however they then put "fuel injection" at the bottom. i inquired about this and was told that i am supposed to get my fuel injection cleaned 2 per year. i informed them i never heard of such a thing. he also told me it would close to $500 to get my seatbelf fixed "that is not even broken" and never did anything about the indicator lights. i was told that they needed to put my car "back together" which i also did not understand because i thought a diagnostic did not require that. now my engine light is also on and nobody will return my calls.
Changing gears is sometime not very smooth. the car seem to jerk or jump in to gear. it does not do this all the time just occassionally.
