2016 Jeep Renegade: excessive oil consumption

Filed Jun 19, 2025 · Engine · CA

Summary of Ongoing Issues with Shaver Automotive & Stellantis Regarding W80 Recall -Initial Reporting (December 2018): At 35,104 miles, I first reported engine stalling, performance issues, and excessive oil consumption to Shaver Automotive. -Recall Notification & Incomplete Testing (January 2024): I received a recall letter in January 2024 for the W80 oil consumption test. Shaver Automotive performed the first part of the test but instructed me to return for Part 2—which they subsequently delayed. -Delays & Failed Recall Test (July 2024–January 2025): From July to December 2024, Shaver ignored multiple requests to schedule the second test. In January 2025, part 2 of the test was finally conducted. W80 Recall test failed, prompting a promise of a new engine installation by mid-to-late March 2025. -Dealership Fraud & Negligence (March–June 2025): From March to June 2025, Shaver: -Ignored all follow-up requests for updates. -Falsified service records, including a fabricated appointment on 3/26/25 while I was out of town. -Falsified mileage on my Jeep at said fabricated appointment. -Closed my Stellantis case without notification, obstructing resolution. -Stellantis’ Failure to Intervene (2024–2025): Despite three active case numbers (#93024832, #93352240, #93372613), Stellantis repeatedly directed me back to Shaver Automotive, refusing to escalate or resolve the issue. -Legal & Ethical Violations: Shaver’s misconduct, mileage tampering, falsified documents, and deliberate delays, has left me with an unsafe vehicle for over 18 months, violating: -Consumer protection laws (e.g., Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act). -Recall compliance obligations under the federal safety agency guidelines. Stellantis’ negligence in overseeing its dealership network exacerbated the harm.

8/23 I was informed of a recall on my engine due to oil consumption. I took my vehicle to Jeep & completed an oil consumption test being told my car was affected & the engine would be replaced. I was told that there’s a long wait & could be 6mos or more. I started calling after 6mos & was told over & over again the engine hadn’t arrived then referred to the manufacturer for resolution. The manufacturer said nothing was ever reported to them. I went to Autonation to get to the bottom of things & they’re acting like none of this ever happened while asking me what I want them to do about it smirking as if this is funny.

On more than one occasion, this car has stalled or stopped, leaving me coasting to the side of the road in active traffic. I was going about 30-35 mph. It has had oil consumption problems since 2021 when I purchased it. It was presented to me at point of sale as gas consumption...it wasn't getting good mileage and would need a tune up. Also misrepresented as having a spare and it did not. On 4 Aug 2024 I completed the most recent oil consumption test and it failed. Leith Jeep refused to provide me with paperwork and said "no charge." But it needed another quart of oil which I added. Before the test was completed it needed a quart of oil. I have all records and will attach here if possible or email under separate emails. Not sure how many doc can be attached. I had recall repairs made. My car is part of the class action lawsuit but is unsafe. I am told to correct I need a new engine which will cost me out of pocket $11,000.00 due to no longer under warranty. But it has had this problem since I bought it and prior, an oil consumption test was done by the dealer in possession then.

This vehicle is constantly burning through oil between oil changes. It has stopped several times while driving only to find out it has no oil. It has been on the W80 recall list for 2 years and the dealerships in my area just say the parts are on allocation. I literally have to drive with oil in the car to refill it on the side of the road. I just got another recall notification from Jeep for U90 and they don't have parts to fix that either. I can't get it fixed. I can't sell it and I can't afford to keep it on the road. The low oil warning light does NOT come on.

Notice a change oil light started popping up although I did not need to change oil according to records I was not due to change oil until another three months, I only been driving the vehicle around 4900 since I purchased it in july 2020, their last service was done at the dealer on july 6 2020 which included oil change. Its on the service history record. I also started noticing a burning smell when I got out my vehicle so I decided to check my oil level and to my surprise I was 2 quarts low at only 58213 miles this should not be happening. I called and scheduled to get it looked at. According to the dealer, they are aware of this issue, so why not a courtesy call to the consumer? I just don't understand that. I can understand if the vehicle issued a warning light that stays on and won't go away then I would of done something about it, but it was just a change oil light and went away so I thought it was just reminding me and being that I was getting close to 58,000 and again only been driving it over 4,000 miles since last oil service. My fear is the dealer may try and hold me liable and have to pay for service for the issue because I did not take the vehicle in right away when I saw the oil service light first appear.

My vehicle has been burning oil at an abnormal rate. I have to top it off several times between oil changes. It also runs extremely rough when in drive/reverse, but not moving(stop signs, drive throughs). If I put it into park or neutral, it runs fine. Occasionally, it will stall out when coming to a stop. I've had it at the dealership and they couldn't find an issue. They updated the ecu and tcu, but it didn't resolve it. My vehicle is no longer covered by warranty now.

Update to complaint # 11270456 reported on 10/23/19. I called jeep directly to report the issue and they instructed me not to pick the car. They called dealership directly. They are aware of an "oil consumption issue" with 2016 renegades which is related to the car stalling/going into neutral and the gear shifting issue. Since they did an oil change on 10/22/19, they want me to put 1,000 miles on the car & bring it back for an oil consumption test. Depending on the results of that test, they may have to replace the engine.

Driving down a long winding hill when acceleration and brakes went out. I was able to stop the car with the emergency brake. No warning lights before or during. Towed to dealership where I was told that it had burned through 4 quarts of oil and that I needed to take it back to do an oil consumption test. There is no way I'm getting back into a vehicle that has no brakes during safe mode and has no warning that anything is wrong. Jeep needs to get these off of the road before it kills someone

Bought jeep brand new and now has 17,000 miles on it. Have had injectors replaces. It has been to the shop several time for pcv valve freezing and causing cylinders to misfire. It has been burning oil and occasionally will just shut. In the last month it has been to the dealership 3 time and usually at least 2 days a pop. One of those times had it towed in at my expense. Very displeased with engine. Dealer told me they had no fix for the problem. So this is something I will have to deal with every winter. Not even safe to drive. Very disappointed. At one point shut off turning into my driveway where I was almost hit by a semi truck
