The engine suddenly shut-off while operating. The engine would not restart. There is a potential risk of causing an serious accident on the road. On the dashboard the key symbol light is on. On Tuesday of this week when called Chrysler's Customer Service and was informed that symbol is error is for the Passive Entry System. This error message prevent the engine from restart. The vehicle was towed to the nearest Jeep Chrysler dealership. Now, 2 days later there is no recall on the passive entry system and now the vehicle needs over $1600 worth of service repairs. They never address why the key symbol is on the car. appears that their an an issue with this and a recall is in order. Also, it may be the recall from 2018 # U87 with the circuit board and electrical.
It is using an enormous amount of oil. When it gets too low, it shuts off. I have been in the middle of a turn or in an intersection when this happens. It had a recall/fix by the manufacturer but it did it again. Back in the shop. I had to put over 4 quarts of oil in it.
My vehicle has been burning oil and no oil light ever comes on. My vehicle then overheated post 1 week after an oil change and the safety mechanism turned on and shut my vehicle down. The sensor never detected the vehicle was overheating. It went from a "please lower RPM" to shutting down within seconds on the interstate. There are similar recalls on other years of this make and model. It has been burning oil since I bought the vehicle brand new. There is currently 80,000 miles on the car and has never missed an oil change or any service. My safety was put at risk by driving on the interstate and the vehicle completely shutting down going full speed. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone but the people who have completely oil changes, etc. Never been in an accident. There were no previous warning lights prior to the shut down and overheating. The vehicle had started bogging down before the initial reduce RPM alert came on followed by the shut down seconds later.
2018 jeel renagade 4WD stalls while driving. Feels like loss of fuel pressure around 60 mph. No speed control while deceleration. When stopped the vehicle requires to shift to park and turn off. Sometimes will automatically try to restart the engine several times. Dangerous because I was driving on a busy highway with no acceleration or deceleration.

Radio screen turns on off freezing doesn't connect and switched into kilometers (still waiting for replacement) codes.popping up nothing was fixed by dealership just cleared codes. Engine when driving seems like it has hard time picking up and.shifting into next gear making a jerking motion happening at random times dealership updated PCM and tcm still does it. Blows threw oil fast dealership says its normal for a 2018 Jeep Renegade makes a ticking sound seems like fan comes on alot more. Would randomly smell burning of plastic addressed with dealership (no fix)
When coming to a stop, the Jeep stalls and tells me to turn engine back on and/or to change gears. After checking forums, other drivers said to check the oil and the oil was completely dry. Ive only had the vehicle a month and a half.
The Jeep sometimes stalls when coming to a stop. It'll say that the car needs to be placed in park, you attempt to start it, the Jeep struggles to start. Eventually it will start. The Jeep also makes a hard jolt sometimes in higher speeds. It has been noticed to do this when the Jeep is accelerating to cruising speed. Sometimes it is noticed when de accelerating.
The transmission randomly started having problems one day. The car will randomly start losing speed and gradually slows down till it won't move anymore. Or sometimes it keeps going but it feels like it's being forced to keep moving. This happens randomly with no warning at all. The message on the dashboard says service transmission or service engine which I've done but the problem started again soon after. Feels very unsafe to have the car on the road and yet it's my only means of transportation. I've taken the car to a dealership and had it looked at. Was told the problem had something to do with a code and that the problem should be gone now but as I mentioned it returned not long after.
2018 Jeep Renegade (2.4L) automatic 4cyl 2wd with under 20,000 miles at the time it first started seizing up mid-drive, back in October. The vehicle spontaneously shut off in the middle of the street. I almost died! I took it to the Dodge Chrysler dealership after that, and I was told that there was a computer software issue that was supposedly reset but here we are months later and it happened again where the engine seized and I was stalled in the middle of a busy road! my passenger and I are lucky to even be alive after that incident! I noticed that the low oil-pressure light comes on for a half-second when turning a hard corner then goes away. After looking up to see that there is a "current campaign for repairs" I have scheduled an emergency appointment with the dealership service department (why not a recall? this situation is dangerous!) from my research based on information from several sources, it looks like updating/reprogramming the PCM software is not enough to fix the oil consumption issue. This is a faulty engine issue and I need my engine to be replaced to ensure my personal safety in a vehicle that I have owned for less than a year. I have gone into debt just to buy the vehicle, the least Dodge Chrysler Jeep can do is ensure the quality of the product I purchased. The lives of many people are at risk, here. I've read the details of the class action lawsuit.
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving and coming to a sudden stop or going around a curve, the vehicle independently shut-off without warning. The vehicle was restarted and drove normally. The vehicle was taken to friendship Chrysler Dodge Jeep (190 oak street extension, forest city, nc 28043) but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was operating as designed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 41,410.
Purchased vehicle July 2019. Today I was making a right hand turn and the D light started blinking and the car just shut off. I was on a hwy rd with heavy traffic. It took a couple tries and the car finally started back up. I just found out that the vehicle I have has a motor that has a serious problem with oil issues and Jeep not fixing it, they're just telling the consumer to just keep putting oil in it. This is unacceptable considering how much I pay a month. These motors need to be replaced before someone gets killed. I put my VIN number in and it says no recalls. There needs to be one asap. Now that M scared to drive my vehicle.
The car dies while driving it. If you stop at a light, it dies. Then again after you restart and move up a few car lengths. Once it died while actually in motion!! apparently, the oil pressure gets low B/C the engine(2.4) uses all of the oil within or less than 2 months time after an oil change. There is a recall on this 2.4 engine, as of 12/10/20 I am told by the dealership, but only on Renegades that have all wheel drive and not front wheel drive such as mine. Not sure what the transmission has to do with a badly designed motor(a rep at the local dealership stated that it was a poorly designed engine that was supposed to use some oil); however, this engine sucks the oil dry in under 2 months time thus making the motor die/stall while driving. This is very dangerous! I have seen posts on forums where people keep telling others to make sure to keep an eye on your oil. Apparently, many people are having issues with this particular 2.4 engine. The oil light only flickers while going around a corner & when you check the oil, it is almost bone dry - if comparing it to a 12 in. Ruler, it might land on the 1st line (of 8 lines) on the way to an inch - just the tip of the dipstick will have a slight amount of oil on it. This started happening within 2 months of purchase - car bought used in June 2020. At first, we thought that they sold us a car and didn't check the oil, but now we know better than that.
A couple of times my Jeep Renegade 2018 stalled when I was driving, said something about low oil pressure when I already did an oil change, also said on the dash that the gear shift wasn't working and slow down and stop, I couldn't imagine if I was on the highway that would've been a bad accident. I safely parked, turned off the vehicle and started back up. Took it last year to the dealership they said that was a safety thing and this year October 30th 2020, I took it to check why it kept saying low oil pressure when the oil is new and I wanted to know if was leaking. They said wasn't leaking, that it was burning oil. That shouldn't be happening that the oil is new and less than a month it says low oil pressure.
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact parked the vehicle and later had the vehicle towed to bokan Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (2 franklin park w #2, St albans city, vt 05478) where they diagnosed the vehicle with a defective clutch kit, flywheel, exhaust manifold stud, wheel bearing, and gasket. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 47,052.
The car will stall without any indication that the oil is low. Loss of power also accrues. I almost got hit by a car for losing power. The dealership says its normal for the car to use oil. But never told me when I bought the car I need to check it. This is a huge safety concern.
