While driving down the road my Jeep stalled and shut off on several different occasions. I called the dealership and was told the oil was probably low and to bring it in. Sure enough it was not registering on the dipstick. I got my oil changed and less than 2 months later the Jeep stalled out again. I checked the oil and there was none. I called the dealship and I have an appointment today to start an oil consumption test. I drove less than 4,000 miles between oil changes before I broke down again. The Jeep gives no warning or light indication when this happens. I am thankful I was not driving on the highway causing a serious accident. The Jeep is burning through some serious oil.
I bought my Jeep Renegade in August of 2018. Not even a month of driving later (2,000 miles), I was on the side of the highway because the engine stalled and then gave me a low oil pressure warning. When I took the vehicle into the dealership they said it was too early to do an oil change and to come back at 10,000 miles. I had to fill the vehicle with 2 quarts of oil to keep it running. I then ran into the same problem at the 7,000 mile mark where I stalled on the side of the road. The dealership finally did an oil consumption test, and I thought they would see it as a problem that the engine is "consuming" 1 quart per 1,000 miles. However, it is "normal" under the fca guidelines for their engines to consume this amount of oil. I tried to get the dealership to get me out of the vehicle I had just bought, and they told me it wasn't worth very much because it had a bad engine. They would not fix the engine though unless it was consuming more than 1 quart per 1,000 miles. I completed yet another test to find that the oil consumption stayed the same. I was having to fill the oil reservoir in between oil changes in fear that I would stall on the highway again and get hit by a vehicle. There are no warning lights for this issue until after the engine stops. The dealership told me I needed to just check the dipstick everytime I fuel up. This is only a temporary fix as I am filling up with $10 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles and then doing an oil change every 3,000 miles because if I go to the recommended 10,000 miles there will be engine problems. I would like to do my own oil changes, but have been going to the dealership in fear that I would be to blame for the oil consumption issue if I dared to change my own oil. I am currently at 30,000 miles. It appears that Chrysler is avoiding resolving the issue until it comes out of my pocket in 6,000 miles.
I ordered some food and drove to exit of the parking lot and the car stalled completely in the middle of the road. The car didn't flash any lights. The dash repeated for me to put the car in park and press the on button. This wasn't working. I followed its instructions over and over but the car still would not move. When I would press the gas the car engine would get very bumpy despite not moving forward. I finally put it in reverse and it willingly moved backwards without hesitation. However, when put in drive again, the D on the gear selector would flash and I would lose control of the car again. I put the car in neutral and had someone push me out of the middle of the road. I turned off the car. When I turned it on one more time, the Jeep finally started driving like it should. I arrived home and checked the oil and it was not low.
My car is shutting down while driving it. My car just started saying 'low oil pressure' and not even a day later turned off while I was driving it and I was almost rear ended. It did it once more before I was able to get it into the dealership. The dealership told me to do an oil consumption test and bring it back in but I don't think I should have to drive a potentially unsafe car. There is a class action lawsuit against fca from other people experiencing the same problems I am experiencing because fca has known about these issues for years and has done nothing to fix the problem.

I purchased my 2018 Jeep Renegade in Feb of 2019. I had under 5K miles on it and took it on my first road trip. I made it to Colorado and the vehicle stalled while driving at least 12 times. There were no warning lights or anything. I had the vehicle taken to 4 different dealerships and no codes or issues were found. I dealt with fca which was a nightmare, and all they offered was a free warranty. I let them know I dont feel safe in my vehicle multiple times. I then took my vehicle on the first road trip this weekend to lubbock and once again it stalled out 4 times while driving 75 mph. I dropped it off at the dealership yesterday and no issues were found again. There is a safety recall on this vehicle for the exact same issues yet my VIN doesn't fit the recall list. This is unacceptable and I want it fixed immediately. I could die from this vehicle stalling while driving at high speeds. Please get someone to help me.

Two issues one. The electrical malfunctions and change his settings randomly. To. oil consumption is hazardous repeatedlyconsuming a quart of oil in just 200 miles. Various mechanics have stated this is a common problem in 2018 Jeep Renegade and requires manufacturer repair.
My engine has less then 10,000 miles and the Jeep is burning 1 1/2 to 2 qts of oil in the first two oil changes. This puts the driver at risk of engine running out of oil on the road. This could cause traffic problems and get people hurt.
When driving downhill 55 mph at an approximate altitude of 5500ft on hwy 80 West in Wyoming, my vehicle completely lost all power, engine shutdown and dashboard message said shift to park. Very scary and dangerous situation that I was able to control. I proceeded to park the vehicle on the side of the hwy and shifted to park. I waited for about 15 minutes not knowing what to do. I decided to turn the engine on, which it did, shifted to drive, and drove to the nearest hwy exit. I do not know the exact cause of the issue, but it seems, base on other owners report's that the problem is caused by a failure in the engine fuel pump and/or voltage regulator which it makes sense. Please investigate and recall the issue before someone dies.
Engine consumes oil. There is zero reason for a 2018 model vehicle to consume engine oil. Dealership has talked with me about this at every oil change and tried to explain that this engine is designed to consume oil. Bull crap!!! recall this and fix the problem fca. There are thousands of people with the same problem and complaints.
Driving with my child in the vehicle and the car engine cutoff. Luckily I was not in traffic and was able to get the vehicle stopped. Message in dash was something about needing to shift to park. Placed vehicle in park, engine restarted and sputtered for a moment, then continued as normal. Only happened once. Dealership said it was likely due to low oil level (approximately 2500 miles since oil change).
Car is burning excessive engine motor oil. Car has stalled several times while driving in congested traffic due directly to low oil. This is a safety concern as well as a defective engine by manufacturer. Problem is pervasive across all Jeep Renegade vehicles. Local dealer is aware of oil issues with engine. Need government intervention to force manufacturer to issue a recall on this know issue.

On the manual transmission, the clutch seems to not reengage completely (as if you were riding the clutch) causing it to get hot and have a lack of power and a nauseating odor. The problem began abruptly and causes a significant loss of power/acceleration that is extremely hazardous on the roadway.
6 times in the past week, our vehicle has started sputtering and stalling out while driving on the highway. Our gas was around half full and we were not going up or down any hills. The mph range was 60-90mph that this was happening and after driving for a couple of hours. We were not able to restart the vehicle for at least 10 minutes and sometimes it took over 45 minutes before we could start the vehicle again. We have taken it to the dealership 3 times, each time telling us that there is nothing wrong. We have contacted fca group about the issue and said that we don't have any recalls and say that there is nothing that can be done. They have also suggested that we just seek out legal counsel. There is only 19K miles on the car and it was purchased brand new April of 2019.
