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
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.

Windshield wiper fluid leaking and is now leaking throughout the car.. it is leaking around the electrical wires in the front drivers side of the car under the carpet. Audio light on in car and also a lot of electrical problems on drivers side door
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.
