I am not sure what component has failed but it cause the car to stall where ever it is located without time to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area. I have had the oil consumption test completed multiple times, I have had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership on multiple occasions. I try not to drive the car on the highway due to the possibility of the car stalling at speeds of 70 mph and would pose a risk to myself and others. The dealer did witness the problem the last time I had the car towed, as they had a difficult time getting the car off of the flatbed because it wouldn't start. The dealer has only changed the battery and alternator, they have not resolved this issue and I have had this issue since I purchased the car new in 2019. They have all of my service tickets to back up my claims but refuse to fix the problem. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than the dealership that it was purchased from. All of the warning lights flash when the vehicle stalls. After researching on google, this is a common problem and there is a class action lawsuit that has been filed and is in progress. I am not sure what is causing this but I do have to get oil changes before it is time for my scheduled oil change which would lead me to think this is related the oil consumption or fuel pump issues that have been reported. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle. The vehicle is actually at the dealership now and they are telling me that it is ready for pick up after only fixing the battery and alternator.
Coolant in reservoir has been overheating since replacement of o-ring on pressure cap. I have take the car to the mechanic twice to find the solutions as to what could be causing this issue. The first time I was told it was not my radiator because I thought I had suffered damage to it from an accident a couple of years ago, and the second time they have flushed the system and told me there were no signs of leakage in the system. I have even speculated it could be the thermostat housing, so I got that replaced as well, but to no avail.
On several occasions the sun roof will not close. when you try to close the vent it will open it self all the way and will not close. There have been times it started to rain and could not close it because it would move forward then go back all the way open. I took it to the dealer and they said if something is in the track it will not close. That includes water if you wash the windshield.
I have had 4 incidents now where I made a right hand turn and the car stalled in the middle of the road. Turned the engine off, attempted to restart. The engine would try to fire, but would take several tries, then would start roughly. Then would run fine.

While going down the highway, the jeep shut down/locked up. The engine was still running, but wouldn't let me turn it off or run anything electrical. Every service light possible came on. In order to get it to turn off, we had to turn off the computer. After that, it had no power whatsoever. The key light was showing. Luckily, I was able to pull over before getting hit. I had both of my kids in the car. I've seen where other people have had this happen. Why has it not been recalled. We're still waiting to find out what the issue is but the mechanic shop is behind due to workers being out with Covid.
Left the store, stopped at a red light, car started acting like it was out of gas and stopped running, no -??idiot-?? lights came on, no check engine nothing, put vehicle in park to restart (said on) and it would jerk like it was out of gas every time fir over 30 minutes I sat at a light and was unable to keep the vehicle started/running. Finally someone offered to push the car and it just started, too it to the dealer and because it was on a Saturday and the service department was closing in 5 minutes they refused to run a diagnostic test it sat there over the weekend and Monday they said that there was nothing wrong and to drive it for 1,500 miles and bring it back in, although car is still acting like it doesn-??t want to shift or stay running, they said that because my VIN was not on the recall list they would only fix it if I paid out of pocket for it and the vehicle has less than 35,000 miles on
Vehicle has stalled twice in the past couple weeks. Once after a right turn and once on a highway after slowing to go around something. Car has been maintained at the dealership. I see recalls involving the fuel pump and an electric module, but my VIN doesn't show these.
While driving along my car shut down had message on dash put veh in park and select gear and a picture of oil can almost got hit from behind I was turning this has happened 4 times
The car dies while driving it. If you stop at a light, it dies. Then again after you restart and move up a few car lengths. Once it died while actually in motion!! apparently, the oil pressure gets low B/C the engine(2.4) uses all of the oil within or less than 2 months time after an oil change. There is a recall on this 2.4 engine, as of 12/10/20 I am told by the dealership, but only on Renegades that have all wheel drive and not front wheel drive such as mine. Not sure what the transmission has to do with a badly designed motor(a rep at the local dealership stated that it was a poorly designed engine that was supposed to use some oil); however, this engine sucks the oil dry in under 2 months time thus making the motor die/stall while driving. This is very dangerous! I have seen posts on forums where people keep telling others to make sure to keep an eye on your oil. Apparently, many people are having issues with this particular 2.4 engine. The oil light only flickers while going around a corner & when you check the oil, it is almost bone dry - if comparing it to a 12 in. Ruler, it might land on the 1st line (of 8 lines) on the way to an inch - just the tip of the dipstick will have a slight amount of oil on it. This started happening within 2 months of purchase - car bought used in June 2020. At first, we thought that they sold us a car and didn't check the oil, but now we know better than that.
II bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade with a manual transmission in Nov 2018. In Jan 2019 the cruise control failed. I have had the vehicle in the shop 7 times since then for them to fix it. The 7th time they had it for 90 days and after consulting with Jeep engineers in the U.S. and italy, where it is manufactured, they have concluded that they do not have a fix for the problem. Please see attached document for all the particulars. What is not noted are the other fixes they tried in prior visits, which was to replace the buttons on steering wheel, the wiring harness, and the actual cruise control unit. Since there is an internal memory fault with reading the speed sensor, I feel that this vehicle is unsafe to drive. Chrysler and the dealership are both refusing to buy the vehicle back.
In December 2019 and on December 5, 2020 while I was driving the vehicle it stopped. I turned the engine off, sat for a few minutes then restarted the vehicle, II was slow to accelerate, then stopped again. I sat for a period of about an hour and then was able to restart the vehicle. When this occurred in 12-2019 the vehicle had 6484 miles on the odometer. When it happened in 12-2020 the vehicle had 9663 miles. Both times it occurred it was in city traffic. I do not know the cause of this problem. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer from which I purchased the vehicle but they have been unable to identify the problem or repair the problem. As per consumer reports there has been a recall on the fuel pump for the make and model for the same year. After a search of the Jeep website, this Agency's website and the dealer's records my vehicle is not on any recall list.
Internal driver side door handle spontaneously stopped working after I arrived home from work. Vehicle was parked in my parking spot, engine just turned off. Looked up past recalls, and 2015 model had similar issue with recall initiated.
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.
My car has been in shop several different over same issue about vehicle not wanting to shut off have to go into settings to turn it off... have took it to rod hatfiends in winchester
Has anyone had any issues with their Jeep just stalling" and have you figured out what caused it" 2018 regenade first time it happened was about 2 years ago. 8 months after I got it brand new. I was driving through atlanta and it just shut off. It came right back on. I drove someplace right off the exit and let it sit for an hour and checked the oil and it was fine. Still had about 300 miles until the recommended change. I drove the remaining 5 hours home without issue. Tonight I was sitting at a traffic light and it started sputtering. I tried moving forward and nothing. Tried turning it off and back on. Nothing. My radio and ac were both still on. I was able to coast onto the side road (thankfully for a small decline) and pushed the off button again. When I tried turning it back on everything was locked up. Couldn't push the break peddle down and the drive light was flashing on the shifter. I let it sit another 30 seconds and it turned back on fine. I have over 2000 miles before the recommended oil change and a quarter tank of gas. Also not sure if it is related but my husband's key fob will randomly not work. Today he got in my car with his keys and it wouldn't start until he pressed the fob to the start button then a light came on saying low oil pressure and it quickly went away. That light did not come on before or after that incident.
On a us art 250 stopped because of oil pressure going straight has happened a few times. Now it still happens but it is coming up service engine. The dealer and Jeep will not do anything about it. Took to advanced auto they did a diagnostic and is saying throttle actuator control system sudden high airflow detected and received engine torque request signal stuck. Wanting date below, but has happened several times. I'm putting most recent date of incident which was today. Which we took vehicle to dealer again today.
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.
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
