Burning thru oil, there are no leaks. I just bought the vehicle couple weeks ago
On 11/28/2024 my 2029 Jeep Renegade Multi Air Actuator failed we had just finished our drive when it failed. It spit oil everywhere and melted spark plug caps and cracked the value covers. We waited 4 months to get the part as it was on back order with thousands and we are still waiting on the value covers to this day. I PAY PAYMENTS monthly on a car I cannot drive and waiting on the parts because they are back ordered. I have spent thousands of dollars on parts and would hope thus would be a recall. If we were actively driving when it failed my family and I. Could have been badly injured.
The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 38,000.
My vehicle is experiencing the same exact engine issue that a technical bulletin has been issued for. The bulletin is for affected vehicle manufactured after 2021 which would qualify for warranty reimbursement. My vehicle is a 2019 with 54k miles on it. The problem started at appx 48k miles 4 months ago. The Bulletin number is TSB 09-006-23 (Low oil Pressure) When the check engine light turns on the car will drive normal then at times the jeep will not go over 3300 RPMs causing a lack of power to accelerate. I have experienced situations where I cannot accelerate while driving or accelerate from a stop while trying to merge on to a highway. The bulletin is issued for a large repair. Please review this failure of parts to trace back to the appropriate years affected. This could result in a vehicle crash.
2019 Jeep Renegade 4WD 65,000+ Miles at the time of repair, the Renegade was initially brought into the dealership for shaking and rattling noise from the front-end engine area. The dealership service inspection found the fan blade cracked and missing pieces and the fan was unbalanced, and recommended replacing the cooling fan assembly. Once they replaced the coolant fan motor and removed the front fascia, they found trans cooler lines leaking at the cooler joint and recommended replacing the cooler and lines. After all the parts arrived and with an oil change, the total invoice was over $3,000. The component that failed/malfunctioned is the cooling fan assembly. The vehicle in its damaged state was said not to cool and cause engine damage. The dealership confirmed the problem. The dealership inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any notifications of the problem it was brought into the dealership due to the sound/vibration of the engine. This fan issue is similar to the recall on all 2015-2017 Jeep Renegades that was issued after a lawsuit was dismissed because Fiat Chrysler (FCA US) offered to replace the cooling fans for free or reimburse Renegade customers for engine cooling fan repairs.

VEHICLE HAS 5700 MILES ON IT, THE RADIATOR RUPTURED A SEEM LEAK, THEN A LEAK IN THE AUXILIARY RADIATOR AND NOW BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED ONCE (FOR LESS THAN A MILE) THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
2019 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN APRIL 2019. BURING OIL ISSUES: (FIRST STARTED ON 8/27) - 4600 MILES IN. LOW PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO ADD 3 QUARTS OF OIL SAE 0-20. DIDN'T CONTACT DEALER THOUGHT THEY JUST MISS CALCULATED THE QUARTS OF OIL AND ADDED IT MYSELF. (8/31) -4698 MILES IN. GOT THE FIRST OIL CHANGE (A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER I ADDED 3 QUARTS) JUST TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS A FULL 5.5 QUARTS STARTING FRESH). (10/22) -6980 MILES IN. (ONLY 2000+ MILES INTO NEW OIL CHANGE) NOW THE "OIL CHANGE REQUIRED" LIGHT IS ON, BEING LOW ON OIL. I HAVE A SERVICE DATE SCHEDULED WITH THE JEEP DEALER FOR 11/2/2019. I'M NOT TOPPING IT OFF THE OIL ON PURPOSE OUT SO THEY CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THE WAY IT IS AND IT'S RECORDED. ALSO BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM (THEIR ARE MAY). SEEMS THE 2.4L ENGINE IS BURNING THROUGH OIL (AVERAGING 1 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES). THIS IS DANGEROUS AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE STALLS IN MID-DRIVE AND GETS KILLED. SOME PEOPLE EXPERIENCE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL UNTIL IT'S HAPPENING. I'M SURE THE DEALER WILL COME UP WITH MANY EXCUSES ON 11/2 SO I'M BEING PRO-ACTIVE WITH REPORTING MY ISSUES. I'M JUST SURPRISED WITH ALL ON-GOING REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS I READ ONLINE THE 2.4L ENGINES EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IS NOT ALREADY A MAJOR PRIORY RECALL FOR THE JEEP RENEGADE. SAFETY NEEDS TO COME FIRST!!
Widespread Vehicle air pump failure in Jeep renegade is causing significant oil leakage and results in unsafe vehicle failure. This is reported across multiple forums as well as my own vehicle, which became disabled on the interstate. Upon inspection dealers are noting no oil even with scheduled oil changes and recommending full replacement of pump which has significant burden of cost
