The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
I have a 2018 Jeep Sports Renegade and it burns through oil at an excessive rate. My vehicle stalls out on me often and says oil pressure low, shortly after oil changes. If I am traveling downhill and need to make a turn, no matter what speed, the car directs me to shift into park and restart. This has happened on numerous occasions that has almost got me into multiple accidents. Just yesterday, I turned on my car and drove down the hill to the stop sign, and it shut off on me. This is a very scary issue and now today I receive a piece of mail about a class action lawsuit regarding oil consumption, yet my VIN isn't included in any recalls?

My husband was driving our Jeep today and it just stopped two times without any warning. Once while just going down our driveway (about 1000 feet from our home) and the second times was while he was in town going around a round about intersection. He was able to pull over and the Jeep started right back up but it could have been a lot worse if he would have been in traffic or driving 65+ MPH.
Started from Feb 2022 till April 2022 I had 3 time lights came up and car stopped on the road while I was driving. The first time was low oil pressure came on, and second and third time were both about engine service light on. so it happened once a month with about 1000 mileage driving. I was almost hit by the car behind of me coz the car stopped suddenly while I was driving. this really caused my concern about my safety. Dealer couldn't help me more about it except keep monitoring the oil consumption. they told me the car with 2.4L V4 engine has this issue. I found out the same issue also happened to the other Jeep consumers and they have been involved in law suit. I need to file this complaint so could get someone's attention on this, Chrysler need to fix this engine design issue ASAP to save lifes.

Coolant in reservoir has been overheating since replacement of o-ring on pressure cap. I have take the car to the mechanic twice to find the solutions as to what could be causing this issue. The first time I was told it was not my radiator because I thought I had suffered damage to it from an accident a couple of years ago, and the second time they have flushed the system and told me there were no signs of leakage in the system. I have even speculated it could be the thermostat housing, so I got that replaced as well, but to no avail.

My jeep on 11/11/2021 just turned 60,000 miles the light came on change oil so I started it drove out of the drive way turned around the corner it said you can't shift in drive so I pulled over put it in park put my foot on the brake push the button to start it sound like a hissing sound then it would crank and start I got to the corner to stop and it died out put it in park put my foot on the brake and push the button to start did the same thing making like a hissing sound started to crank after a minute and a half and it seemed to do this in the morning although couple more times during the day.

My truck is using 2-3 quarts of oil a month and I have made over 7 trips to the dealer and still no resolve Jeep sold me a complete lemon and I'm not going to stop until I reach someone to get this matter taken care of.
I bought this car as a 1 year old vehicle with less than 20k miles. Since my first oil change, my mechanics have mentioned that it is losing quite a bit of oil. The jeep has died in intersections 9x due to low oil pressure. The vehicle crossed 60k miles a month ago, and is now misfiring. After a leak down test was performed, they stated that the engine needs to be replaced due to a 40% leak on cylinder 3 and a 30% on all other cylinders. Unfortunately, the engine is now out of warranty.
I have had 4 incidents now where I made a right hand turn and the car stalled in the middle of the road. Turned the engine off, attempted to restart. The engine would try to fire, but would take several tries, then would start roughly. Then would run fine.
Oil level in engine dropped. Then car stalls with no warning. So far dealer is assessing the issue by doing an oil consumption test, but the issue still there without been resolved. Very dangerous problem. Because car stopped on me in middle of highway. This issue has to be looked in to in a bit rush..
While going down the highway, the jeep shut down/locked up. The engine was still running, but wouldn't let me turn it off or run anything electrical. Every service light possible came on. In order to get it to turn off, we had to turn off the computer. After that, it had no power whatsoever. The key light was showing. Luckily, I was able to pull over before getting hit. I had both of my kids in the car. I've seen where other people have had this happen. Why has it not been recalled. We're still waiting to find out what the issue is but the mechanic shop is behind due to workers being out with Covid.

Vehicle randomly shuts off/stalls while driving. Has happened on the highway at highway speeds, trying to pass another vehicle or simply while barely accelerating to merge. First few times transmission warning light came on, then change oil light came on. Last few times, engine just simply shuts off, speedometer slowly declines and there is no power. Pull over to shoulder, then message says vehicle must be in park before shifting to another gear, then says push brake pedal & push start. This happened several times while out of state, on vacation. Took it to the nearest dealership after having to spend extra money on a hotel room for 2 nights that I did not plan for, because this happened the evening before a holiday so I had to wait the extra day for the dealership to open. They found a code on the transmission, and also the fluid was a quart low. they cleared the code, filled the fluid, and I also had them change the oil as a precaution. Left the dealership, drove approximately 150 miles, and vehicle shut down on interstate again, 3 more times. Had to spend another night in a hotel, the closest dealership said couldn't look at vehicle until following week, so I drove back to the previous dealership where they couldn't find anything or couldn't duplicate the issue. Next day they found debris in pan so said Chrysler said to change transmission. Had to leave vehicle in Colorado, got rental to return home. Picked up vehicle 10 days later, driving home, vehicle did same thing again, 3 times. Drove remaining way home slowly, with breaks every 50-75 miles so issue wouldn't keep happening, vehicle is currently at local dealership and they (once again) cannot duplicate issue or find anything wrong. This is obviously an issue, I've seen several complaints about the stalling/shutting down. This is dangerous, as it happens on the interstate and could cause serious injury or death. Fiat/Chrysler does not seem to be concerned about that.
