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.
I bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade for the purpose of having a safe bluetooth system to talk with my family. I have owned since new and reported this problem to Jeep. The bluetooth cuts out and is garbled when on the phone. I own a 2018 Chrysler pacifica with bluetooth and it is flawless. I was told that this it what I get with a Renegade. I have to hold my phone in my hand while driving. In my opinion unsafe.
Lwhile driving vehicle completely shut down with no warning sign. Was towed to the dealer and was told it was low on oil. The car is brand new with only 3000 miles. Dealer informed me to check the oil every 1000 miles. Was never told this when the vehicle was leased and now I'm stuck and afraid to drive it as it shuts down with no warning which is very dangerous.

My Jeep Renegade has 16000 miles on it. It has been in the shop 4 to 5 times for burning oil. When the oil gets low the engine shuts off while I'm driving. I was told I need to do an oil consumption test and it must burn a certain amount of oil for it to qualify for a new engine. It has shut off twice while my 8 month old twins were in the car. Both times I was on a city road. The first time I did an oil consumption test I brought it back after about 1500 miles and they told me it wasn't low. I stopped taking it since my last oil change and in 3000 miles it burned enough oil for it to shut off while driving. I brought it back to the dealership and they want me to do another test even though it has a long history of burning oil.
Since 21000 miles (first instence) we have had issues with the car shutting off, and losing all power to the gas and break, almost causing a wreck. I was turning left and the engine sputrered, then as the wheel straightened up it completely lousy all gas, and break function as if it was not idling. About every 3-4 weeks after it would stall, but not lose complete control. We started to notice it was using excessive amounts of oil, after acknowledging first couple issues. We are currently having it looked at, as the electrical components would not allow us to start the engine at all, we are currently at 30,000 miles. Car is 1.5 years old, problems arose 5 months ago.
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
My 2018 Jeep Renegade keeps stalling out it shakes and then just cuts off the engine light recently came on I couldn't understand that so I took it to be checked and was told everything is fine on the truck and that it probably needed to be recalled I'm terrified to drive this vehicle in fear of crash it is my sole means of transportation and just want a great running vehicle that I'm paying for
My Renegade 2018 keeps shutting off while at most stops I take it in service at least 8 times and can't duplicate the problem the mechanic can't find nothing the service department was very rude and not helpful they were rude I want the service department offered me the loaner 6 times and did nothing about can't find the problem
My Renegade trailhawk continues to stall while driving/turning. In the past two days it has happened three times. Each time my son was in danger of being hit by another vehicle going at a fast speed (35/40 mph). These stalls occurred on busy streets (holme avenue - 19136; knights road - philadelphia, pa (going to jefferson torresdale hospital to work) and frankford avenue and grant avenue, philadelphia, pa) when it stalled. The "check oil" light came on once. I checked the oil and it was empty. I just had the car inspected on March 28, 2019 - including an oil change. How can a car that has a little over 3,000 miles on it have this happen. This just started and puts my family in a very dangerous situation. This also happened the week after I got the vehicle - called the dealer (reedman toll) and they said they had no reports of it happening to anyone else so just keep an eye on it.
Alarm comes on saying fcw sensor blocked but comes on at random.times sensor is not blocked comes on while driving causing system not to function, other times when working auto braking will activate while no obstruction is present
My vehicle's backup camera does not work. When I tried to back up and turned the shift into rear, the monitor usually turns on automatically but once it didn't and stayed all in black screen. I took my car to the dealer and they said the electric connection was loose. It was back on. But it happened again later so I took my car back to the same dealer again and they say the monitor works and they don't see any problem. Next day it turned all black again. It keeps happening. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.
My 2018 Jeep Renegade began to stall out on me while driving and turning and acting as if it doesn't want to crank. No lights are on. I've noticed some of them have been recalled for the same reason. I have the 2018 Jeep Renegade 4X2 2.4 liter.
My wife has had her Renegade for about 6 months now. We purchased it brand new. A couple weeks after we got it she was driving down the road in town and it started sputtering and shut off under a red light at a busy intersection and about got hit. After a couple minutes it finally started back and was able to get it off the road. Once off the road she let it sit and started it back up and attempted to drive home but it cut off again. We left it over night at the sheriff's dept and got it the next day and drove it to the dealership. We told them what was happening and they kept it for about a week and said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. So after driving it for another couple of days it started messing up again. So yet again we took it back to the dealership and they kept it for about a week and said they fixed it. Now after a couple of months its doing the same thing as before and about caused her to get hit. It's back at the dealership so hopefully they will figure it out. But after reading all of the reports from other people I don't have much faith in that. Hopefully Jeep will swallow their pride and recall the vehicles before someone gets killed.
First, speaker keeps going in and out then 12V port was dead. Screen shot off a few times. Hands free access stopped working a few times. Now for the 3rd time (3 different stall outs), the car is shutting off on its own while driving. This last time, it acted like it was in another shift other than drive and when I put it in park it ran rough then just died. Came back on like nothing happened after shutting off and restarting.
Takata recall I was leaving walmart remote started my Jeep pulled off. Once I got on the road the Jeep started stalling then it just shut off in the middle of the street with no warning. I don't understand how a Jeep 2018 just cuts off. I had my kids in the car and we could have been seriously hurt.
I was on a two lane highway on a straightaway with cruise control set at 70 miles per hour. With out warning my car turned to the right off of the highway and did not brake. I hit an embankment at full speed and rolled. I was not impaired nor did I fall asleep; however, due to injuries I sustained in the accident I have no recollection of the events causing me to leave the road. The vehicle did not skid or swerve and drove to the right until it started rolling. This vehicle should be investigated to discover possible reasons for it suddenly pulling right without brakes. Thankfully, the safety features of this vehicle saved my life, by all accounts they were expecting a fatality. I walked away with my life. I just want to know what caused this Jeep Renegade trailhawk 4X4 to suddenly turn right and not slow down as I know I would not have left the road in that manner for no reason and certainly would have been standing on the brakes and pulling to the left to avoid the embankment. I have full confidence in the Jeep brand and know that regardless of the cause of my accident, the safety features of this vehicle are amazing!
