| Description of the problem | Brand new jeep renegade 2018 purchased jan. After one approx. 2mos. Tech in car not working and then engine light on for a week. Brought to harr in worc. Could not figure out. Reported to customer care for a case number. Radio then blacked out/then the safety issue occurred. The car stalled out in oncoming traffic going approx. 40 to 50 with my kids in car. Same day contacted jeep cust. Care who were to make me and appointment with rental in millbury. No rental was ever booked. Lost work time. Millbury told me it was a known oil issue and when low the car will stall to protect the engine not the passengers. They told us there is no recall due to the fact that nobody has died or been hurt yet. N i purchased the vehicle from station jeep/mansfield, the sticker said dec. 6th/9000 miles. When i last went to them for the oil consumption test, they put another sticker on under it with same date dec 6th but at 5000 miles. I was told by the girl at the service desk and lionel that i am to have it checked now after 500 miles. They both explained this oil issue to me in detail stating that the car burns fast and is known to stall. There are many many similar complaints on line. No warning signs for oil have ever come on my dashboard. I am in contact with fiat chrysler in michigan who have not done a thing but to offer warranty and a number in case my car stalls again. I am most recently having a few other tech issues... Which i was told is related to the oil being low. Something needs to be done before we are seriously hurt or worse.*dt consumer contacted fiat chrysler.*jb |
