Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2018 Jeep Renegade

Car frequently states "oil pressure low" despite constant oil changes. car idles when turning a corner and completely shuts off. dashboard flashes messages that "vehicle must be in park", steering wheel locks up and tells me to "push the brake and start button"... i had to do this three times. very dangerous! car shut off in 5 p.m. orlando traffic! has happened three times in two months.

Incident 1 2/11/20 5pm i had left my office after work and was pulling into a turn lane at an intersection on a city street; car stalled in drive. i put it into park, put my foot on the brake and pushed the start button; and it started. no issues on the 20 miles home. incident 2 2/13/20 7am i had just left my house and had turned left to exit my neighborhood when the card stalled in drive. i put it park and pushed the start button, nothing happened. i took my foot off of the brake and then reapplied my foot to the brake and pushed the button. sounded like the card was trying to start. waited a few more seconds and tried it again, it started. no issues on the 20 miles to work.

Car powers off when driving. it has happened 3 times this week. it shuts off so you can't give it any gas and says on the screen 'place vehicle in p and hit the start button' this happened 3 times this morning and the dealer said it might be oil consumption and i'm now doing a test for that which they said they might have to replace the engine.

The vehicle burns oil causing the vehicle to shutdown without warning. we have the vehicle services regularly, but it burns so much oil we're having issues before it's due for routine oil change. my son was about 30 miles away from home when his vehicle stalled without warning. he also mentioned that at times it would sputter during acceleration. we purchased this vehicle new and currently it has 29,000 miles. we had the vehicle towed under warranty to the dealership and they kept it for over a week before they were able to look at it. i inquired about getting a loaner vehicle since we were down a vehicle and the dealer said all their loaners were out and they will only allow us to have the loaner for 5 days total. so, they said they would contact us when they had a loaner available. we never heard back from them, so my husband called them back 8 days later to inquire about a loaner again, and at that time they said the vehicle was ready; all it needed was oil. so, when we went to pick-up the vehicle ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep renegade. the contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. an unknown warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to the miracle chrysler dodge jeep dealer (615-206-4869, located at 1290 nashville pike, gallatin, tn 37066) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was almost out of oil. the vehicle was kept at the dealer's for about a week and no other failure was diagnosed. the technician performed an oil consumption test. the contact was concerned that the issue was not resolved. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

While letting off the gas to slow down to either a stop or around a curve; the car idles all the way down and dies, the dashboard flashes a message saying 'vehicle must be in park to switch gears'. when i place the vehicle in park it then tells me to push the brake and the start button; when i do the car 'whines' and acts like it's having a hard time starting back up; when it does finally turn over it idles high until i put the car in gear making it jump.

Vehicle stalls while in motion with no warning. happened at least 4 times within the last month.

Had an oil change around 2 months before the issue occured. when pulling out of my drive way the jeep stopped and shut off. upon inspection i was low on oil. after adding 3 quarts of oil i found where other people online had similar issues with specifically the 2018 jeep renegade 2.4 liter motor consuming copious amounts of oil. others had they're renegades stop while driving down the highway but lucky i was lucky enough to be in my driveway. i have always had an oil change on time and through jeep as well. i also don't understand how they passed and emissions test while the motor burns that much oil.

Twice now car has just stalled/shut off without warning. engine light at that time suddenly shows "low engine oil pressure". taken to dealer twice and oil level low-->oil change done and problem resolved for ~ 3k miles. first time happened around 4-5k miles after oil change, 2nd time happened around 4k after oil change. oil consumption test at 1k after last oil change shows engine is burning at least 1/2 quart of oil. dealership states jeep is stating this is within normal and that i should get oil changed/topped off every 3k miles. this is dangerous and unacceptable that oil consumption is so high that my engine randomly stalls because of low engine oil.

Car is excessively burning oil. it randomly shuts off going down the road. it has almost caused accidents.

Twice in the last week, my 2018 jeep renegade with around 17,500 miles has stalled after moderately hard braking. in both cases the vehicle had a difficult time restarting. in the last case, the stalling occurred during busy rush hour city traffic and we sat for about minute with traffic passing us while we attempted to restart the vehicle. my girlfriend, a new driver, was driving during this instance and i am concerned for our safety now. *dt*jb

Car stalled in traffic with no prior warnings. the car would not start back up.

The vehicle loses fuel pressure and burns oil when there is no present oil leak. the vehicle shuts off while in drive causing the wheel to lock.

Vehicle purchased brand new was making left, low oil light came on, and vehicle wanted to stall. i called in to dealer to discuss since i was already bringing it in for a passive entry light on dash warning light. they said bring it in right away. my next oil change was over 1000 miles away from being due & they said it was down 2 quarts. i drove 250 miles until my next appointment for the other repair problem 2 weeks later and there was less than 1/2 notch left of oil on the dipstick. the engine was given a fresh oil change and now must be checked every 500 miles to determine if it's an engine consumption case. my other 2 oil changes were free to use within 1 year so in order to not loose them my oil changes were performed well before they were due.

My jeep renagade has 2950 miles and had no oil i had to put oil it it to get it to the garage to is what was going on, so they decided to do a change and i have to drive it another 700 miles and take it back to them to see if it's used any oil, i've never before had a new vehicle that ran out of oil or that i had to add oil to before the first change, i very unsatisfied with the way things are being handled
