Within a month of purchasing my Jeep, it seemed like it was sucking down oil. When we checked it there was hardly any there. My car had 3 miles on it when I purchased it, so right away I was worried there was a problem. My husband contacted the dealership and they had us bring it in and they did a free oil change and said they didn't see anything wrong. So a month later the same thing happened. We took it in, they kept it did an oil consumption test and said they didn't see a problem but charged me for the oil change that time. It happened multiple times and same thing. After being told nothing was wrong with my car from the dealership multiple times I just stopped going in.

So instead I have to change my synthetic oil about every 2 months. Right now my sticker from my oil change says my next one isn't due until January 2023, but I can smell burning oil and can tell its time for another oil change. It costs me around 110.00 every 2 months or so for my oil changes. I also have to keep a big jug of oil close by just in case.

I'm so frustrated, I don't trust my car. I have been lied to, I don't feel safe wondering if I will actually make it to my destination and back. I am completely upside down in this car and can't trade it in because its lost its value so quickly. I don't know what to do about it.

Burning 5 quarts of oil every 5000 miles - this has been going on for a year now. The dealership says we passed oil consumption test but we have been continuously adding oil at this dealership at no charge.

I called Jeep but they say service manger has no record of this. Just added 2 quarts of oil after 1700 miles since oil change again no paperwork. I’m keeping my own paperwork from now on. After a year this is getting very tiresome.

I always wanted a Jeep, but by now I’m sorry I bought this lemon.

Update from Oct 12, 2022: No low oil light indicator comes on. It stalls in traffic. This is very dangerous when trying to get on freeway.

I purchased my Jeep used from dealership back in April of 2022. Everything was great - no issues! I was having routine oil changes every 3,000 miles I drove - it’s my primary vehicle so I do a lot of driving. In June while driving it would stall out and shut off - I’m talking driving in the middle of a highway! Or at a stoplight that was green!

It’s happened more than once and I wasn’t sure what was happening, the first time I was scared to death because I had my family with and we were broke down in the middle of traffic without warning! I turned my hazards on and kept trying to restart my Jeep! Finally it turned back on and a low oil pressure sensor came up! That’s when I instantly started catching on that something wasn’t normal as I just had the oil changed in my Jeep!

When I checked my oil level after the incident - there was little to no oil on dipstick!!!! I checked it more than once because I was in disbelief. I added a quart of oil and that’s when I began researching - oil consumption was notoriously reported in these vehicles. Contacted local dealership and we started an oil consumption test, I paid $100 dollars for oil to be changed and used for the testing! Found that a waste when the oil would be consumed and the entire engine would be removed basically throwing away $100 - I was told if it stalls out or any issues arise to have the Jeep towed in to dealership rather than risk driving to dealership.

No issues arose so I went back after driving 1,000 miles and dealership claimed it was half a quart low which is still enough concern that oil is being consumed. I and my dealership contacted manufacturer to explain what was happening, I reported my issues with the safety traffic control - and manufacturer agreed to cover all costs with dealership to replace the engine entirely!! I go to pick up my Jeep from dealership tomorrow and I’m a nervous wreck hoping it’s been fixed properly and has exhausted any future issues! Something must be done about this issue and it’s not okay for the manufacturer to get away with this concern in NUMEROUS cases reported! Not to mention the safety concern it imposes on owners who luckily haven’t resulted in any major accidents because of this issue, if so that’s a lawsuit entirely!!! I will never purchase another vehicle in relation to this manufacturer ever again after this recent Jeep purchase.

I bought this Jeep Renegade 2018 on July 2021. By December 24 - 2021, my wife was driving it to work and it just stops in the middle of the road. She almost got hit by another car but happily she didn't. We called the Jeep Dealer, and they perform a Recall about Oil Consumption and it failed. A week later the Dealer replaced the Engine for a brand new one. We were all happy about it, but 2 weeks later the car stopped getting out my driveway again in the middle of the road. We got the Check Engine light on, towed to the dealer and they couldn't find the problem and told us it was safe to drive. One week after that when my wife was going to drive it the Check Engine came on again and I just told her It wasn't safe to drive it and I decided to drive her to work on my car. I towed the car to the dealer again and now they found a problem - they replaced the GAS PEDAL.

So far, we just have it parked on the driveway, still making the monthly payments but not driving it. To be honest I don't know what to do. I still owe a lot of money and I tried to see If I can sell it, but I will lose money and I don't want to transfer this problem to anyone else. I just wish the Jeep Dealer would take it back, but I didn't buy it directly from Jeep, I bought it from another dealer that sell all makes, not just Jeep. I don't want to say that Jeep is a bad brand, my wife is her first car and liked, loved it but she can't use it. So far, I don't have any complaints about Jeep taking care of all the repairs they have. They refused to pay me back the car rental that came out about $ 700.00 for 2 weeks they took to replace the engine but on repairs they have taken care of all of them. The car has now 39,386 miles and we bought it with almost 35,000 so In 1 year we have just put less than 5,000 miles because we don't feel so safe on the road.

So, I don't think the solution for the Oil Consumption problem is changing the engine. It has to be something else.

This is the 3rd time this happened, the engine service light came on and car stopped suddenly which I was driving. So basically each month, it's happening one time with about 1,000 mileage driving, just as the other consumers described same situation. I went to the dealer and also called Stellantis customer service, and was told low oil pressure and engine service is maybe the reason caused the issue, the engine (2.4 L V4) is the issue. Dealer service manager told me they need to monitor again for 1,500 mileage and bring it back. But I lost my patience and my trust on this Jeep Renegade already. Now I just hope I will be safe before I can get rid off this car and plus I just spent $1000 to put brand new tires on this car. I really hope I can get my money back if I have to sell it.

Here we go again. My fifth complaint. I was not due for oil change until 3500 miles yet, and oil light goes on again, and down a quart of oil. This is the 5th complaint. Go to the dealership, have an oil change, and they tell me everything is fine with the oil consumption test - yet this Jeep keeps burning oil. There's no leaks at all.

A very good friend of mine is now keeping an eye on this burning oil problem. He actually wrote me a letter which I gave to the dealership which states it is burning oil at the consumption of a quart of oil every 900 miles. The dealership states Chrysler will not repair or change an engine unless it is burning 3 quarts of oil when due for oil change, but the only problem is the oil light goes on before it is due to have an oil change. First time reading was 2774 miles, second time 3852 miles, third time 6991 miles, 4th time 7583 miles, and last 10,161 miles, all within 10 months. This should not be happening, and Chrysler should take care of this problem.

Cute Jeep but too many inconveniences having to deal with this burning oil. After the fact of leasing this Jeep I find that there are a lot of 2018 Jeep renegades that have this oil burning problem.

So I take my Jeep in again due to the fact that I received a free oil change in the mail. My jeep now reading 7583 miles. The fact of the matter is that this Jeep is not taking regular oil and taking synthetic oil - you are suppose to be able to go 6000 miles before an oil change. I have not had this Jeep a year yet and have been in for an oil change 4 times. One at 2774 miles, 6991 miles and one at 7853 miles. Plus this is my 4th complaint and I have to put one more in since we have to do each one separately. All I can say is I will keep up the maintenance but am so happy it's just a lease. The dealership told me that Chrysler will not change the engine unless it is burning at least 3 quarts per oil change. Great company!

One, I will say this being a lease, they would want to take care of the problem. Or not - they just keep checking the oil??? So at 2774 miles my oil light goes on, so I have a friend check it. He stated to me that there is NO - NO - reading on the dip stick, and at that time the oil was down 4 quarts. He was nice enough to have 2 quarts available, and I immediately went to Walmart, and they rechecked it, and added an additional 2 quarts. I called the dealership and they wanted me to come down the next day to check it but I was unable to so I went the following Monday 06/17/19 where they did an oil change and consumption test. They told me to come back at 1000 miles and they will recheck the oil. I go back at 1000 and they state the oil is fine.

I went back after another 1000 and they state the engine is fine. Unfortunately this is only the beginning of the problem of this 2.4 engine burning oil. It is an inconvenience to have to get to the dealership, when their working hours are the same as everyone else's. Since I now have 3 complaints I have to do this two more times. I am not a happy camper with this engine problem.

My Jeep starting stalling while driving. I called the service center and they said to bring it in as I may need oil added. It was time to change my oil so I made an appointment to do so. Sure enough there was no oil on my dipstick, and two months later to the dot, the jeep stalled again. I checked the oil and sure enough it was not registering on the dipstick. I added oil and called the service center. I have an appointment today to start the consumption test. This time it occurred after I drove about 4,000 miles.

When the Jeep stalls, it happens out of nowhere with no warning or light coming on. I'm glad I wasn't on the highway causing an accident.
