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.

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.

Dealership said it was likely due to low oil level (approximately 2500 miles since oil change).

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.
My Jeep Renegade may be equipped with a cracked oil pump housing/balance shaft module (bsm), which has caused the oil pump to fail and the engine to stall.

We are playing russian roulette with our lives.

Engine stalling saying shift into park. I had it towed to dealership and they are saying my oil is dangerously low. I had an oil change Wednesday April 1st and have noticed no oil leaks. This has to be the fuel pump causing this.
This is the fourth time in three month my vehicle has locked up, told me to switch gears and completely shut off. I was on the interstate and was almost rear ended because of this! the car continues to do this despite getting the recommended oil changes. My oil was just changed 2,000 miles ago. Someone is going to die and this needs to be recalled! hundreds of Renegade owners are having this issue. Dangerous! I have children and this car is less than two years old and shutting off?
