Upon slowing for stop sign or turn, car stalls and dies. "D" starts blinking and get message that must be stopped to shift. Get stopped, shift into park and try to start car. Takes several tries to get started. Car has 6500 miles and has happened at least 7 times. Took to dealer, was told that there are no codes and they can't find problem. Have another appointment with dealer this week. Latest instance of issue was 2/29/20.
Bought my car brand new, after one month it started shutting off randomly. While driving on the highway the engine shut off completely. "shift gear to P appeared on my dash". I had to turn on and off multiple times before it would turn on again and occur over and over again. Got the car towed to the dealership who told me it was completely normal and that I should be checking my oil every time I get gas. Said all I needed was an oil change. Did not have any concern for the dangerous occurrence I was in on the highway.
Every time I get a oil change I have to replace the oil by the courts in between changes as well the oil pressure light comes on when I make turns or it may stall
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade latitude. The contact stated while his daughter was driving at approximately 35 mph, the low oil pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be inspected. The oil was topped off. An unknown dealer was then contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that due to a related oil consumption issue with similar vehicles, a quart of oil may be necessary to be added at 1,000 miles interval. The contact was informed that the manufacturer was working to remedy the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The manufacturer was able to confirm the information provided by the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 4,500.
Vehicle shut off twice while in motion with no warning. Changed oil at 12000 miles. At 14,500 miles the vehicle flashed a low oil pressure sign and shut off while moving on a 45mph road. It then struggled to restart. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership where they confirmed there was no oil. I am now doing an oil consumption test per the dealership's instructions and the dealership confirmed on the 3rd test (16000 mileage) after 1500 miles that the vehicle burned a quart of oil so far. We are continuing the tests. The vehicle does not warn of low oil or give warning when it is shutting off. It will completely shut off while in motion, leaving the driver to attempt to coast to a safe area. The dash will then read 'place gear in P and press button to turn on' this has occurred twice - the first time that required the oil change at 12000 in November 4, 2019 and the second at 14,500 on December 31, 2019. In summary, the vehicle burned through 5 quarts of oil in a little over 2000 miles and shut off with no warning, and is beginning the process again while being monitored under the dealership.

I was making a right onto a road and I lost all power to the drive train and had to make a sudden right turn into a subdivision that was to my immediate right. I could still steer; which was how I pulled myself off the road into the subdivision immediately after making the turn onto the road. I checked the oil level when I came to a stop inside the subdivision. It read that the oil level was slightly above the recommended level on the dipstick. I was on my way to have the oil change done. The car was due for an oil change at the time. I was taking it in for the oil change 100 miles before the due date. A week earlier and the day before the car displayed a low oil pressure indicator on the display. Those were the first times in my life I've seen that message. I contacted the parts department of the troncalli Jeep Dodge dealership I had bought the vehicle from later that day. I asked why the engine stopped and the man I spoke to said probably had something to do with how the engine was made. In which the engine could stall if the oil level is half a quart over or under the minimum or maximum level. That was the 1st instance of my vehicle stalling.
Incident 1 2/11/20 5pm I had left my office after work and was pulling into a turn lane at an intersection on a city street; car stalled in drive. I put it into park, put my foot on the brake and pushed the start button; and it started. No issues on the 20 miles home. Incident 2 2/13/20 7am I had just left my house and had turned left to exit my neighborhood when the card stalled in drive. I put it park and pushed the start button, nothing happened. I took my foot off of the brake and then reapplied my foot to the brake and pushed the button. Sounded like the card was trying to start. Waited a few more seconds and tried it again, it started. No issues on the 20 miles to work.
Car frequently states "oil pressure low" despite constant oil changes. Car idles when turning a corner and completely shuts off. Dashboard flashes messages that "vehicle must be in park", steering wheel locks up and tells me to "push the brake and start button"... I had to do this three times. Very dangerous! car shut off in 5 P.M. orlando traffic! has happened three times in two months.
Car powers off when driving. It has happened 3 times this week. It shuts off so you can't give it any gas and says on the screen 'place vehicle in P and hit the start button' this happened 3 times this morning and the dealer said it might be oil consumption and I'm now doing a test for that which they said they might have to replace the engine.
The vehicle burns oil causing the vehicle to shutdown without warning. We have the vehicle services regularly, but it burns so much oil we're having issues before it's due for routine oil change. My son was about 30 miles away from home when his vehicle stalled without warning. He also mentioned that at times it would sputter during acceleration. We purchased this vehicle new and currently it has 29,000 miles. We had the vehicle towed under warranty to the dealership and they kept it for over a week before they were able to look at it. I inquired about getting a loaner vehicle since we were down a vehicle and the dealer said all their loaners were out and they will only allow us to have the loaner for 5 days total. So, they said they would contact us when they had a loaner available. We never heard back from them, so my husband called them back 8 days later to inquire about a loaner again, and at that time they said the vehicle was ready; all it needed was oil. So, when we went to pick-up the vehicle they're charging us $189 and this vehicle is still on warranty. The warranty on the Jeep is fraudulent and the dealerships are devious.
While letting off the gas to slow down to either a stop or around a curve; the car idles all the way down and dies, the dashboard flashes a message saying 'vehicle must be in park to switch gears'. when I place the vehicle in park it then tells me to push the brake and the start button; when I do the car 'whines' and acts like it's having a hard time starting back up; when it does finally turn over it idles high until I put the car in gear making it jump.
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. An unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the miracle Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealer (615-206-4869, located at 1290 nashville pike, gallatin, tn 37066) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was almost out of oil. The vehicle was kept at the dealer's for about a week and no other failure was diagnosed. The technician performed an oil consumption test. The contact was concerned that the issue was not resolved. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.
Vehicle was purchased brand new off the showroom floor in July. In December it began stalling at odd times and not wanting to restart. Week before christmas the oil change indicator came on. I thought nothing of it and figured I would schedule it as soon as I could after the holidays. The vehicle began stalling shortly after the oil change indicator happened. I thought it was because I did not let the vehicle warm up long enough and it was very cold outside. Nope. I was on my way to the gas station and the vehicle stalled in the intersection and refused to restart. I was almost struck several times. It took 5 minutes to restart the vehicle and it was making noises like the engine did not want to turn over and catch. I finally got it out of the road and into the parking lot of the gas station. It sat for a few minutes and then restarted reluctantly. I filled it up with gas and it took several tries to get it to restart. A week later I was coming home from work and it stalled on me leaving the parking lot, I had literally driven 500 feet. When I restarted it, the vehicle check engine light came on and the red "power reduced" light was flashing on the dash. It would not go over 25 mph. I was able to get it to a parking lot a little ways up the road and let it sit for about 20 minutes. It restarted with no problems, the reduce power light was gone, the check engine light was still on, and I was able to drive it at a normal speed the rest of the way home. I started it again the next morning. No issues, check engine light is still on. As of this writing, I have had the vehicle for 6 months and it has 8100 miles on it. I bought it new off the showroom floor. If the reports I keep seeing on here are accurate, I will be trading it in for something else asap.
Had an oil change around 2 months before the issue occured. When pulling out of my drive way the Jeep stopped and shut off. Upon inspection I was low on oil. After adding 3 quarts of oil I found where other people online had similar issues with specifically the 2018 Jeep Renegade 2.4 liter motor consuming copious amounts of oil. Others had they're Renegades stop while driving down the highway but lucky I was lucky enough to be in my driveway. I have always had an oil change on time and through Jeep as well. I also don't understand how they passed and emissions test while the motor burns that much oil.
Twice now car has just stalled/shut off without warning. Engine light at that time suddenly shows "low engine oil pressure". taken to dealer twice and oil level low-->oil change done and problem resolved for ~ 3K miles. First time happened around 4-5K miles after oil change, 2nd time happened around 4K after oil change. Oil consumption test at 1K after last oil change shows engine is burning at least 1/2 quart of oil. Dealership states Jeep is stating this is within normal and that I should get oil changed/topped off every 3K miles. This is dangerous and unacceptable that oil consumption is so high that my engine randomly stalls because of low engine oil.
The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the oil in the vehicle only lasted 200 miles. While driving, the vehicle shook, lost electrical power, and stalled. The contact powered off the engine and restarted the vehicle. When the vehicle was restarted, a grinding noise occurred. In addition, the instrument panel indicated to "step on brake, press the start button". the contact did as instructed and the vehicle was able to drive normally; however, the failure recurred numerous times. Furthermore, when the vehicle was turned off, the radio remained on intermittently. The vehicle was taken to motor world Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (150 motorworld dr, wilkes-barre, pa 18702, (888) 459-2493) and was informed that an oil change and oil consumption test were needed. The oil was changed. The dealer could not locate a failure with the radio. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided case number: 71429369. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.
Twice in the last week, my 2018 Jeep Renegade with around 17,500 miles has stalled after moderately hard braking. In both cases the vehicle had a difficult time restarting. In the last case, the stalling occurred during busy rush hour city traffic and we sat for about minute with traffic passing us while we attempted to restart the vehicle. My girlfriend, a new driver, was driving during this instance and I am concerned for our safety now.
