I have a 2018 Jeep Renegade 2.4. It has 60,000 miles and the first oil change light come on and it reached 60,000 miles. On Wed 11/11/2021 I pulled out of my driveway and, going around the corner, I said you can't shift in drive so I put it in park and put my foot on the brake push the button to start. It cranked kind of funny, like it was trying to get fuel, then it died when I stopped for the stop sign it's like a hissing sound then it would crank to start. I'm pretty sure it's the fuel pump.
My Jeep renegade has stalled on me a total of 5 different times. I will be driving and the vehicle stalls and does not accelerate and ultimately shuts off. I have taken in it twice to get checked and they have not found a solution. I do not feel safe in my vehicle. I have two children ages 3 and 4 and I don't even feel comfortable transporting them in the jeep.
My Stalled 3 times in 2 weeks. Twice I was slowing to take a turn-this happened a week apart in the same exact turn. Today I was driving about 20 mph. This happened on 4-21-19, 4-27-19 and 4-30-19. I have approx 5000 miles. I called Chrysler and they said there were no recalls, that I probably do not need an oil change (she checked on this information). When the light goes on or 7-8,000 miles I should schedule one. No dash indicator lights come on. Each time I am able to guide my car out of traffic. I shut off radio, wipers and all electrical and after I hit to restart it sounds like it is really trying, but it eventually does start. I stalled this morning (5-1-19) and I was almost rear ended as it was so sudden. The car behind me had to swerve. I put on my hazards.
I called Chrysler corporate because my dad hears something about the 2.4L engine being recalled. Chrsyler Corporate told me to bring it to the dealer and either way should be covered (warranty or added to recall). The dealer had no record of recalls and said i needed an oil change. That is ridiculous that needing an oil change could be such a dangerous thing. I find that hard to believe. I have had this Jeep since Oct 2018.
I am very scared now. I commute to Boston in the tunnels during busy rush hour. So disappointed these dangerous problems are happening. Chrysler Corporate (FCA) closed my call case even though it wasn't resolved, Also, sometimes when I turn my wheel to take a sharp turn a bell dings one. It has happened about 6 times since owning.
