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. I'm afraid for my family's life that the engine stall and risk getting into a crash. This issue was a problem for Jeep in 2017 or 2018. I have brought this to the attention to the dealership in Dec 2019 and Mar 2020. I happened two does ago on May 23rd it completely stop on my fiancee with a full tank of gas. We are playing russian roulette with our lives.
I bought the vehicle 3/6/2020 from the I-10 Dodge dealership in indio, ca. The car appeared to be working perfectly: No funny smells or noises, good acceleration and brakes, no warning lights on dash console or anything like that. Last Saturday (5/2/2020) I drove it to my friend's mobile home. I parked in the carport and turned the engine off. I went into the home and looked out the window about two minutes later. Smoke was pouring out of the engine compartment. I looked in vain for a hose or fire extinguisher, then called 911. At this point flames were shooting up from the engine, setting the carport and the side of the mobile home on fire. The fire department arrived and put out the fire. The vehicle was destroyed in the eight minutes from when I called 911 to when the firefighters put out the fire.
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.
I was on my way to work, driving about 30 mph, and all of a sudden, some "D" light came on, & then all the lightd came on & then I recieved a message that I need to switch my gears & my tire locked up & my car just shut down. I was not able to turn my car back on. After several attempts to push my start button, after finally getting it to turn back on it stalled out again. I was able to get it to turn on again then I made it home. I started reading blogs & it said to check your oil. I checked it and it was completely empty. I changed my oil last month and barely have driven it. I have a 2018 Renegade with 24K miles on it. If my car did this when I jumped on the highway would of caused a major car accident. No reason why all my oil should be gone
When fueling, the pump continuously clicks off. I've tried multiple positions and multiple gas stations. It does not make a difference. In Oct 2018, had a sensor replaced. It dint work. Due to extenuating circumstances, I wasn't able to get the vehicle back in until now (2/26/20). They replaced the fuel tank and I'm still having the problem. Brought back to the dealership and waiting to hear back.

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.
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.
While driving my Jeep Renegade has a hesitation when I take off it started doing this this week I bought this car this year with 72 miles already having to replace the breaks which of course should last me at leae a year
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 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.
When attempting to accelerate from a stopped position on a driveway the car stalled and the onboard display read "shift into gear". a full loss of power to the engine and transmission occurred. Car had to be restarted to resume driving of the vehicle. The restart was very rough, as if it needed gas. Stall could have caused loss of life or injury if it would have occurred in traffic. This is the fourth time it has occurred. Other vehicles of the same make and model have a recall for a faulty fuel pump and/or power train control module but mine doesn't.
8 days after purchasing the car, with around 250 miles on it the car stalled in a the middle of the road. I was going about 25 mph. It stopped accelerating, started shaking, and then the engine died completely. I put it in park and turned it back on, as soon as I put it back in drive it died again. It died 5 times trying to get to the side of the road. I brought it into the dealership and they told me that they couldn't replicate the issue and when I mentioned the open recall they stated my VIN was not part of it and sent me on my way. A few weeks later it stalled again in the middle of the road coming to a stop light, going about 20 mph. It stopped accelerating, started shaking, and then the engine died completely again. I brought it back in to the dealership, again nothing. The third time it happened I was driving about 40-50 mph, it stopped accelerating, started shaking, and then the engine died completely. They finally replaced the fuel pump, still said it wasn't the recall though. It hasn't happened in the 1500 miles since they replaced it.
While accelerating the vehicle staled. I was scary I bought my Jeep and it only has 8000 miles on it. I put the car in park then drive it did not move. I pushed off the road. Turned the engine off then restarted it, and it drove fine. I am still nervous driving my Renegade, it may happen again.
I have had car about two months and it keeps stalling on me and I got almost into an accident because it stalled on a busy street and traffic was coming. Jim click Chrysler into sun Arizona they say it's the fuel pump but other things are going on with the car to like the radio and it keeps turning off and the screen for the back up camera turns off on its own so I think there's more going on that car and I'm disappointed in Jeep for making a car that could cause an accident I have to think of the safety of my kids
