Vehicle was in motion and all of a sudden loss of power, vehicle will not accelerate until you get off accelerator and then it will accelerate when you depress the pedal. Has happened multiple times.
I was jumping ooff my gf car for the 10th time over a course of time, this time for some reason my Jeep caught fire and now is totaled and it also caused her car to catch fire. So not only did it damage my Jeep but damaged her car as well.
Losing oil not getting 25,00 miles between oil changes car stalls and turns off until I get oil changed. Also dashboard alerts for lights out or service warnings but the lights are not out.
Car stopped and totally shut off in the middle of an intersection. Luckily a man stopped and pushed my car. I had to shut it off and restart it. This would have been potentially fatal in a busy intersection.

The engine stalls out at stops and when slowing down on city streets. Then when you try and restart it, starter is slow then finally cranks over. This is the 2017 Jeep Renegade sport 2.4L 2wd. The car has 58K miles on it.
The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact called planet Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (9975 nw 12th St, miami, fl 33172, (305) 470-8000), and informed the dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
Car is parked. It started with right rear door lock not locking with the key fob. We had to manually lock it from the inside. Key fob seems to work with all other locks but now none of the doors are locking. You can hear the locks engaging when pressing the key fob to lock but the doors do not lock at all.
Engine light came on; took vehicle to dealer (have an Chrysler?Jeep factory extended warranty. I was informed that because the oxygen sensor harness was chewed by a rodent (probably a chipmunk) that the warranty would cover repair. I have since out that the sheathing for wires used by the manufacture is made from soybean oil or peanut based oil. I ask is this, my fault or the manufacturers fault? I did not nor would I put rodent food in a vehicle. If rodents chew brake lights, this could cause a fatal crash. The vehicle was stationary parked in my home driveway. I have the repair invoice and the chewed oxygen sensor w/harness.
Engine shut off while vehicle was in motion, creating a dangerous condition due to inability to move car out of traffic. From researching various websites this is not an isolated instance of this dangerous occurrence for this make/model of Jeep which is not being addressed by the manufacturer.
I made a right hand turn and my vehicle just stopped. Engine was still on but just quit moving I pressed the gas but no response. I turned the ignition of and back on and it started but then an service air bag warning came up on the dash. I can't believe an air bag warning would make the vehicle stop in traffic with no warning and no control.
Instrumentation lights flicker while driving on any roadway under any conditions. Flashed taillight failure when no problem existed while driving on state roadway under normal conditions.
While turning oil light comes on and car died while driving in city traffic. Oil is checked and changed regularly by Jeep recommendations. 2 weeks later dash light (P)! when car was stationary. Book says electronic park brake fail.
My check engine light came on and my engine started overheating. The radiator cooling fan just stopped working for no reason. It also blew out the relay amd fuse. I was told that this is out of warranty and a new fan assembly needs to be installed. The Jeep is only two years old and has 39,232 miles on it. After researching this is I find out that at least 66 other 2017 Jeep remegade owners have had their radiator fans go out at 40,000 miles. This isn't an isolated issue and the part has to be recalled. Chrystler and Jeep are unhelpful and unwilling to admit to the problem.
Vehicle has stalled twice now. Once on a mountain road around a danger curb and also on a highway. Luckily, both times was able to pull to side of the road. It always starts back up but extremely terrified to drive it. Brought to Jeep dealership and they can not find a problem. Also, oil light comes on regularly now with low oil. Burning a lot of fuel. I know for a fact I am not the only one experiencing this issues. They are all over the internet. My wife has a Renegade as well and her's stalled out once. I feel like Jeep is not taking this seriously. Someone will get killed if this keeps happening.
I've noticed over the past few weeks my Jeep seems hesitant shifting gears, especially going from reverse to drive. This is an automatic transmission. Last week, after backing put of the driveway and starting down the road, the vehicle stalled and read "park vehicle to shift". I had to stop in the middle of the road, and turn the car off twice and restart it in order to get her going again. Luckily, as embarrassing as it was, the vehicles waiting on me were very polite and patient. This happened again yesterday evening. I backed out of my parking spot and turned onto the road. The vehicle stalled out and read "park vehicle to shift". I again turned the car off and went to turn it on. She sputtered and sputtered and the ect light popped up on the dash before she finally turned over and the light went away. I was going out of town that night and I was a little nervous about getting stranded. I did make it back home, but the next morning, she did the same thing. I made it down the street this time and she stalled out while I was stopped at the stop sign before turning 9nto a 4 lane highway. Good thing she stalled out before I had pulled onto the highway. I followed suit and had to restart her once or twice and she sputtered and sputter which just broke my heart. My fuel was low this morning and we limped over to the gas station, she was shifting weird the entire time. I didn't turn her off because I was afraid she may not have turned back on. After getting gas, she started to run more smooth but she still hesitates to shift.
