The car decides when it wants to start and start. The car will shut off and lock up while driving and has put me in multiple dangerous situations. The check engine light turns on with the airbag light when it will not start. When it finally decides to start there is no cel on. Also, the bottom fog light went out due to faulty design and gasketing.

My vehicle was in motion on a 2 lane city road going up a mountain in tucson. Upon reaching the altitude of about 4000 feet, my vehicle started to stall out. Everything locked up, brakes, steering wheel, gas, etc. As the vehicle was stalling, I was able to pull off the road. At this point, my vehicle would not start. After about 20 minutes of waiting, I was able to restart it. We continued our ascent up the mountain, but it happened again about 3 minutes later. At this point, we cancelled our plans and went back down. There were no issues going down the mountain or afterwards. About a month later, we tried it again, and the same thing happened, but this time starting at around 3500 ft.

The jeep was staionary. The fuel pump wouldn't come out of the car, leading to the car leaking gas everywhere and then wouldn't start. Took the car back to jeep dealership, they replaced the fuel fuel tank filler. A week later the jeep is stationary and then when I turned on the car it wouldn't start and had a flashing lightning symbol and then gas started leaking everywhere from the bottom of the jeep. I bought this car brand new and only have had it for two years. I feel that I might have a lemon.

When I am driving my 2017 jeep renegade, which has an automatic transmission, the car will occasionally stall while the car is moving. A message will show on the dash that says 'shift vehicle to park' or something along those lines. I will go from driving normally, to having 0 rpms while I'm still moving. I turn the car off. I wait a minute. I try to start the car and it won't start, it just keeps cranking. Eventually, and after many failed attempts and fear of ruining the starter, I manage to get the car started, but barely. When it does finally start, I wait a few seconds and am then able to drive again normally. This has happened more than several times now in the past year. It is also worth noting that I schedule my vehicle for regular oil changes as recommended, but I often get an oil pressure low warning, sometimes right before the vehicle stalls. I often have to add quarts of oil to my vehicle, even with regular oil changes. I drive an average of 12,000 miles a year and I do not abuse my vehicle. When researching my problem I came across two remarkably similar issues in other 2017 jeep renegades. These two recalls do not show up when I check my vehicle's VIN against active recalls. It seems like more than a coincidence and I am asking that you broaden your scope for this issue in jeep renegades, because I or my family could be in danger while driving.

As I was driving my 2017 jeep renegade, after I turned, my car wouldn't accelerate and a message came up to put my car in gear (it was in drive). Luckily I was able to coast and pull over. My car keep telling me to put my car in gear, so I put the car in park and pressed the ignition button but nothing happened. Then a message came up to start my car with the key fob. I touched the key fob to the ignition button and it started again. I was able to drive it the rest of the day, but it wasn't shifting properly. As it shifted, it would jerk into gear. That was on saturday, october 19th. Today, october 23rd, after I turned my car shut off again. The same thing happened my car keep telling me to put my car in gear, so I put the car in park and pressed the ignition button but nothing happened. Then a message came up to start my car with the key fob. I touched the key fob to the ignition button and tried to start it again but the engine wouldn't turn over. It took 5 tries to start my car again.
