The engine stalled while I was turning. I turned my vehicle off and back on and the engine wouldn't start. I did this again and the engine eventually started.
I had just left for work today, driving on the street, when 2017 Jeep Renegade desert hawk suddenly stalled I was able to coast to the side of the road. A message came on the dashboard with instruction to put the vehicle in park and press start button. I did so and the engine tried to start, but didn't. tried a second time and engine sputtered and eventually started. Low oil pressure light has also been flashing on when making quick turns. Only stays on a couple of seconds. This then happened again after I had just left work. Purchased vehicle new, I'm the only driver and it has 20,500 miles. About a year ago, the same happened. I told the dealer shop, when I was getting an oil change, about this issue. They said nothing was wrong with the vehicle. This issue occurs when I first start it in the morning and when it has been sitting awhile and I start it (like when I go home from work).
Engine stalled two times on different occasions while driving. This occurred both times while turning on a city street at an intersection. Vehicle brought to dealership same day of second occurrence. Service department found no oil on dipstick. Oil consumption test being performed at this time.
Started having problems with the car shifting very hard at random times and at various speeds while driving. Dealer said there was no problem the first time we had it inspected and could not reproduce it at the shop. We continued to have these problems and started to hear our valves knocking so we checked to oil. The oil was two quarts low and barely on the dip stick. We were only midway through oil change and we only service our car at the dealer. We took car to dealer and they said that using a quart of oil every 2000 miles is normal. It may be normal for this car but it is not normal for any car we have ever owned. It is unacceptable that they did not inform us at oil changes that we were having trouble maintaining our oil levels. This would eventually cause our car engine to fail and create a safety hazard while driving as the engine could turn off from lack of oil. This is unacceptable for Jeep to keep this manufacturing defect a secret because the research I have done has shown that this is a systemic problem with this vehicle.

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.

While driving down the road Jeep flashes all lights on dashboard and just shuts down. Doesn't matter where you are or how fast you are going, just powers down and you have to figure out how to roll off the road out of traffic. Had it to the dealership several times for the same thing, keep getting told this is "normal" and I should change my synthetic oil at 4,000 miles and this shouldn't happen
Ever since the beginning of November 2019, my Renegade has been stalling when I am in the middle of driving. It started out to be a couple of times but it now does it every time I turn it on and drive. It has stalled on me when I have been in the middle of busy roads and has almost caused accidents. I notice that it will stall if I am turning a corner or if I have just started it up and driving off within the first few minutes. I know there are a lot of complaints by other 2017 Renegade owners but I have the deserthawk edition and I haven't seen anything for my model. I take very good care of it and it is only a couple of years old. The stalling problem that I am having seems to only be getting worse.
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.
My 2017jeep Renegade burns oil and it has ever since I got it. Well before the scheduled time to get an oil change, the oil runs so low my car will start dying and stalling randomly and then the low oil pressure light will come on. I have taken it for service twice about this same issue and both times the problem was overlooked, I was given an oil change and sent on my way being told it's "normal" for my 2017 vehicle to burn oil. It happened to me again this morning, so I was forced to add two quarts of oil in the middle of the road to get to work. I feel like taking it for servicing will do me no good, as I am not being heard. This is not normal, but nobody with Jeep is listening or acknowledging this issue.
Vehicle shuts off at higher speeds. This year, make and engine have been recalled for this problem. My specific vehicle, while having the same shut off problem for the past 2 years, is not part of the recall. It is a dangerous ongoing problem.
Car will stall when slowing to a stop. Have to shut down and put in park. Then when try to re start the engine sounds wierd and quiet and qppears to crank and crank until it finally starts. This happens always shortly after starting to drive. It happened a few days in a row and no occasionally for no reason. It leaves me stuck in the middle of traffic. Very dangerous.

According to the dealer I must check my oil every 1K miles to check the oil level. This is about the 3rd time my car has stopped in the middle of traffic. When I call the dealer all they say is did you check your oil. The last time this happened was on sun, Nov 3, 2019. Why are companies allowed to sell products they are fully aware have defects, to turn around and make it the consumers responsibility.
The 2.4 lt engine is consuming oil at an accelerated rate. About 2.5 qts every 1000 miles. At times this causes the car to stall when accelerating and turning into traffic. This has been ongoing since the car was purchased and before the first scheduled oil change. The deal is recommending replacing the engine after 3-4 services. The dealership has us bringing the car into for service topping off the oil and having us report back every 1000 miles.
