| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2017 jeep renegade brand new at the end of january 2018. I was told to bring my car in at 5000 miles for an oil change. Right before my oil change was due, while driving in a parking lot, i made a turn and saw a low engine pressure light and then my engine turned off while driving. My husband & i met with the jeep dealer and the shop manager said the engine was just "breaking in" and used up the oil. This wasn't something we had heard of before. They did an oil consumption test and after all that was done, they said it was fine and it wouldn't happen again. I've taken my car in like clock-work to have the oil changed. This week, with still 300 miles to go until my next oil change, my low oil pressure light came on and my car turned off while driving down a hill on a busy main road. The dealership is telling me again "this car just uses oil". They confirmed i was 2. 5 quarts low. We have 2 renegades in the family, my daughter's 2015 renegade that we bought in 2017 with only 2500 miles on it doesn't have this problem. I am now getting a second oil consumption test run. This is dangerous and scary. I see there was a recall on 2017 jeep renegades for a cracked oil pump issue. My car is not included in that yet it has the same symptoms. I bought a brand new car so that i wouldn't have "used car" issues. This is unacceptable and i'm getting nervous my car will just turn off and i will be in an accident the next time as i've been lucky so far. |
