Car stalls often. Just started happening, recently, but more and more frequently. Seems like a fuel pump issue, like the 2017-18 renegade recall was about. Often stalls shortly after start up, and when going slowly, or when coming up to a stop.

My engine has randomly died out 4 times while I'm sitting at a stoplight or stop sign. I've read online many people have had this issue due to bad fuel pumps on jeeps.

I was on my way to work and stopped at a red light in town on a busy street, when the light turned green I started to accelerate and my vehicle started shaking and started to slow at the same time. I tried to push on the gas pedal but it did nothing. I then noticed on my dash screen it said to shift into park to stop. I was barely able to get over to the side of the road when my vehicle had just stopped. I tried restarting my vehicle after turning my hazard lights on and the engine just kept turning, so I pressed the stop button as the engine would not start. The brake was locked up and and so did my shifter. I then had to call a tow service and had my car towed to my local jeep chrysler shop. This happened sunday on my way to work. Monday afternoon the dealership called and said it was my fuel pump. I purchased my vehicle new in august of 2016 and only have 26975 miles on it. I had to pay the dealership 950.36 to replace the fuel pump. After doing some research I saw that the 2017-2018 models of my same vehicle have a recall on the fuel pump and will replace them for free. This recall should be extended to the 2016 models as I had the same issue.

Jeep only has 40,000 miles on it and one day driving home on the interstate, the car killed while driving without warning and almost caused me to crash. The car behind me had to swerve to avoid rear ending me as well. Had it sent to a mechanic and he said that the fuel pump failed. Car is only at 40,000 miles and is only 3 years old. Cost to repair it is $800. I looked up cases and apparently this is a known issue with jeep renegade fuel pumps and other years 2017 and up have been recalled but why hasn't mine? Almost causing a crash and the cost of the repair is the 1st issue, the biggest stressor is the fact that the part is on back order and chrysler won't ship my mechanic the part for 3 weeks. Yes 3 weeks without a vehicle, lost wages, and missed classes because I have a hard time getting to class for nursing school. I had a rental car that I was paying $27 dollars a day but after 1.5 weeks, I can't afford that plus the $800+ repair so I returned it. My mechanic also noticed the canister of the evap system is also bad which is another thing that shouldn't be going bad this soon. Now my total is $1075. Plus the $300 of the rental I had to get while chrysler was taking their time getting the part I needed. Yesterday I had to call corporate to beg them to get this part moving faster. The fact that the part is back ordered, means a lot of other people are having this same issue. It's time to recall this part before it kills someone. I was lucky and was able to correct the car when it was trying to suddenly jerk off the road with speeds of 70 MPH. But not everyone might not be lucky and it's a dangerous situation waiting to happen.

Vehicle in motion on the I-90s in buffalo, ny. Sudden loss of mechanical power to my front wheel drive 2016 jeep renegade sport (standard transmission). This occurred on 6/23 at 1:30am following a concert. Driver and passenger were in danger due to a sudden loss of mechanical power to the car and were forced to pull over on a restricted highway overpass. Dealer, west herr (orchard park) quoted fuel pump assembly - mopar (68312374aa) needed to be replaced after a vehicle engine stall at 52092/60,000 (power-train warranty). Replacement of part not covered via power-train as the fuel pump assembly merely contributes to the covered gas engine. Very disappointing to a new owner that had bought used and experienced a significant part replacement which should last the lifetime of the vehicle.

I love my renegade but there has been nothing but problems , first after only having it for a few months buying it dec 2016 new the fuel pump broke and I ran out of gas when it said I had a quarter tank. Then the driver seat became stuck forward, I thought I fixed it it was fine now it's stuck back. I have to use a pillow behind me. Then at 40,000 miles just about the coolant fan started rattling as if something was loose, then it stopped all together. When I was in traffic I had to blast the heat because the temp gauge would go red. I checked the fuse it was blown so it was changed and still no fan. So I figured it's the coolant fan relay and they aren't easy to locate. Auto parts store and jeep parts at the dealership are hard to talk to because it is a fiat part. You would think the 2jeep dealerships that sell them would know that. Now I see that a ton of people are having the same issue and needed the full fan assemble replaced and a new thermostat..I do not have money for this. Why no recall
