My vehicle has stalled on the highway 3 times and the transmission is very jerky.

This is a problem with the 1.4 turbo engine in my 2015 jeep renegade latitude burning engine oil until there is nothing on the dipstick. I usually get an indication on my dash that I have low oil pressure, then I go to the store and buy the euro synthetic oil to top off the oul until I can get to a service station or the dealer for an oil change. The oil change needs to be done evey 3,000 miles or so, or I will be out of oil. The dealer has run some tests and isn't able to locate the problem. It just burns oil and it is, of course, no longer under a warranty. Besides this problem, I have had numerous other weird problems that happen and can not be identified. I think this 2015 jeep renegade is a lemon. I bought it used and it was re-certified. Yeah, by idiots? Ocassionally the vehicle just stops running, check the oil, and there isn't any on the stick. This has recurred 5 times. The latest being 3//5/20.

Transmission hesitates so badly going into second gear that I am constantly almost rear ended, and being screamed at by other motorists, especially in traffic. If you're not at a complete stop, it's not as badr. But forget it if you have to stop for over 3 seconds. Traffic and parking lot seems to be the absolute worse (if you're keeping it at 15 MPH or under it seems. First they replaced the valve body, then 2 trans mounts, all at a cost to me, before they decided to replace the trans. Transmission was supposedly "replaced" under warranty, but has only gotten worse. Also, now having engine replaced, because it burns 3 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. Less than 50,000 miles on this car.

I bought a 2015 jeep renegade from this dealership brand new. All service has been done at either this jeep dealership or the one in lima ohio where I lived for a brief time. Beginning in march of 2018 my vehicle stalled while running with no warning whatsoever. After several minutes it restarted. I took it to the dealership who told me it was because I needed an oil change and because of the change in temperature from ohio to arizona. It then happened again two more times once on the freeway-all again with no warnings. Jeep then had my car in august for nearly a month-I was told it stalls due to low oil pressure and to do an oil consumption test meaning I drove it for 1200 miles and then returned it to them. I was then told that my oil consumption is "within manufacturer specifications" so the dealership would not be doing any repairs and that I need to check my oil level at each gas fill up and add oil as needed in between oils changes. This is not in the manual and this car is still under 36,000 miles and until october 30 the bumber to bumber warranty. I was told by dustin the manager of the service department to contact chrysler as they would have to authorize any repairs or changes. I was told by chrysler that there is nothing to fix and given the same recommendation to check my oil at each gas fill up and add oil. This car has no oil light, no check engine light or any warning of any kind before it just stalls while driving. I do not feel safe driving this car and do not trust that this an an acceptable loss of oil and that they can set an expectation that is not listed anywhere in the manual.

Jeep is burning oil and coolant between oil changes. Need to add oil at least every 2 to 3 week and coolant monthly. No warning lights have ever come on indication the vehicle is low, it has not over heated. Have found jeep to be upto 3 quarts low on oil and no coolant in reservoir. No signs of leaking of any kind. Have noticed a distinct smell of burnt oil after long drives. When adding oil and coolant today I found a pink frothy residue on all the house joints for the coolant. Why am I not getting any warning lights and where are these fluids going to. There is distinct metal sound when the engine is running now. I addressed the oil issue with the deal the last time it was in and I was told I just need to add oil periodically that "all vehicles" periodically need oil. I have never had this issue with any other vehicle I owned.

On october 2, 2015 I was driving down a city street near my home. As I came to a stoplight the engine cut off without warning. There were no warning lights or messages on the dashboard, the engine simply cut off. I tried to restart the vehicle, and received the message 'shift to park, then to drive.' at this point I was a hazard in the road that other vehicles had to swerve to avoid. I was able to get the engine restarted and traveled approximately mile to a spot where I could turn around. As I turned onto a side street the engine again cut off without warning. I was able to coast to the side street to a safe parking spot. After about 15 mins I was able to start the vehicle again and drive it mile to my home where I had the vehicle towed to the jeep dealership service center. The dealership kept my vehicle for nearly a week, but was unable to find anything wrong. They stated to me that they attached the chrysler computer diagnostic and found no errors registered and that they inspected the vehicle and found nothing wrong. They also stated that they drove it for 10 miles and could not get the issue to repeat, so they told me to pick up the vehicle and continue driving it. On oct 9 the vehicle lost power while turning, but the engine did not shut off and again displayed no warning lights. On oct 15 the engine again cut off, but this time on an incline and almost rolled into oncoming traffic. We brought the vehicle back to the dealership and discovered there was no oil in the engine. My safety concerns with the renegade are as follows:1) none of the engine sensing systems registered the low oil, 2) if the low oil level triggered the engine safety cutoff why was this not registered in the vehicle's fault log, and 3) after the engine safety cutoff was triggered and there were no error or check engine messages of any kind. They could find no record of any problems.
