Description of the problem | The engine uses/loses approximately 1 quart of oil every 300 - 500 miles of daily driving. My daily driving is both city and highway. The jeep has been at the dealership multiple times (4 in 6 months) to investigate and correct this loss of oil. According to the owner's manual the oil changes can last as long as 10,000 miles. This jeep renegade averages an oil change every 2,000 to 2,500 miles due to this oil issue. There are "no" external oil leaks visible nor on the driveway therefore the oil must be leaking internally into "something". The dealership has been great servicing the vehicle but has not been able to correct the problem. The last information provided by the dealership was this jeep's engine is expected to lose 1 quart of oil per 2000 miles and recommended to change the engine oil every 2,500 miles. This is a new vehicle that has an engine problems that is unresolved and dangerous to drive. Never knowing when the catastrophic failure will occur. I originally took this jeep to the quinn jeep/chrysler dealership in gloucester va but was told by the service manager that because this jeep was not purchased from quinn that quinn would not perform (any) service on this vehicle. There was an actual "note" added in the database to not service this vehicle. |
