Description of the problem	2018 jeep renegade (2. 4l) automatic 4cyl 2wd with under 20,000 miles at the time it first started seizing up mid-drive, back in october. The vehicle spontaneously shut off in the middle of the street. I almost died! I took it to the dodge chrysler dealership after that, and i was told that there was a computer software issue that was supposedly reset but here we are months later and it happened again where the engine seized and i was stalled in the middle of a busy road! My passenger and i are lucky to even be alive after that incident! I noticed that the low oil-pressure light comes on for a half-second when turning a hard corner then goes away. After looking up to see that there is a "current campaign for repairs" i have scheduled an emergency appointment with the dealership service department (why not a recall? This situation is dangerous!) from my research based on information from several sources, it looks like updating/reprogramming the pcm software is not enough to fix the oil consumption issue. This is a faulty engine issue and i need my engine to be replaced to ensure my personal safety in a vehicle that i have owned for less than a year. I have gone into debt just to buy the vehicle, the least dodge chrysler jeep can do is ensure the quality of the product i purchased. The lives of many people are at risk, here. I've read the details of the class action lawsuit.
