The first generation with the 1.4l turbo engine. Had two air lines coming off of the air filter container. They are solid and break when the dealer does the courtesy check during oil changes. It is a common problem showing online and the dealers do not take responsibility for it

Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 127, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle had suddenly experienced a loss of automotive power and reduced speeds before stalling. The failure had occurred on multiple occasions and during the failures the message "Vehicle must be in park to shift gear" had also displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure or diagnose the cause of the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced under the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 18V731000(Fuel System, Gasoline) but the failure continued to occur. The failure mileage was 100,000.
Driving vehicle and lost power. Vehicle will crank, but won’t start
Lose of power when accelerating out of parking lot. This now has happened 3 times with no warning light coming on in the car and vehicle is regularly maintained without issues.
Recall engine oil excessive consumption, engine failure issues.
Vehicle has been serviced twice for “drive train software updates,” and is yet again having engine issues with shifting gears and acceleration.
My fuel gauge went bad, resulting in me running out of gas when it stated I had over 1/4 tank left. So that $80 tow bill was fun. Also, my coolant temperature light just started coming on today, reaching all the way up to the top and red light when I was idling at stop lights. It would return to middle while driving, then ramp up to the top when idling. By searching the recalls with my VIN, it states I have no recalls to fix. However, after speaking with an FCA Recall Center representative, I was told to take it into a dealership so they could diagnose it as a manufacturing defect. Let me also state I'm not thrilled with this dealership and they have been sneaky in the past, gaslighting me about the excessive oil consumption and blaming me, when it was a recall that they later fixed (James River Jeep, Ozark, Missouri).
Fuel system or engine failure to start vehicle. Malfunctioning, as well as excess oil consumption. Dealerships are neglect to address the issues. There is a recall for the make, model, and year of my vehicle but my VIN was not listed but I believe it should be.
My vehicle runs out of gas at 1/4 display on the fuel gauge. The steering stopped working in my car turns off stating I have 48 miles. It’s extremely dangerous this is happened twice already live on the car for two years.
Fuel pump has a hard time engaging. Truck will not start after filling gas tank. Also if you hit a bump the radio station in electrical systems go out

Just purchased this Jeep August 31, 2022. This is the 2nd time that while driving the vehicle suddenly shows very high RPM and will barely move. Could the previous repair to the engine recall have failed? I have an appointment to take the vehicle for service again. The first time the dealership said they did updates to fix the problem.
After getting gas on two occasions, today being the worst, my car shut off as I was exiting the gas station. My vehicle has started rough on a few other occasions, which I have spoken to my dealership. To which I was told maybe I wasn’t pushing the start button long enough. I was clearly concerned for my safety and my mothers because she was in the vehicle with me. I was also concerned for the oncoming traffic. I have taken it to the dealership for a diagnostic test because the engine light comes on and off. The code came up for a slight evap leak. I have been waiting for that part for about 3 months now. This usually only happens after I get gas. I am so worried that it’s going to start happening all the time or I am going to get into a bad accident.

There is a recall on the 2017 renegade but somehow my jeep isn’t on the list even though I am having the exact issue - they think the oil pump isn’t working correctly. The vehicle just stops driving when in drive. Which is terrifying. It happened twice and we contacted FCA twice to have them do nothing. They said we have to drive the vehicle for 2000 miles in order to read the oil level - which is nuts. I can’t get in a vehicle that just stops working while driving, it’s a huge liability. It’s been sitting at the service department in a dealership for a year and a half and no one will help.
I should have still had gas in my tank according to my dash. I had just pulled into a parking space at a store and my car just stopped running. Ended up getting it towed and checked over all to find out my car was out of gas. If I was driving and this happened it would not have ended good. No lights popped up on my dash. I showed I had plenty of gas still. Since then I have kept it at half a tank or over and each time I fill up it is taking a different amount of fuel. I have no idea what is happening and I have not had the time or money yet to take this in to figure out what is happening. The Jeep only has 55,564 miles on it and I keep up regular maintenance. I have not had any issues since I bought this in April 2021 until now. I have had an older car in my past do this to me and was almost hit by another car because of it. I do not feel this should be happening to a car with this low of miles. I will be taking the car in soon to get inspected more but figured this should be something I should make you aware of.
The car is unable to maintain a charge and the engine will shut off while driving
I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade. The engine needs to be completely replaced due to faulty manufactured engine. It would randomly turn off or stall, or sometimes engine kept turning and wouldn’t start. The bearings broke off inside the engine and now JEEP is trying NOT to cover it and I can’t get any help after speaking to 7 diff Case Managers. There has been zero help from them in regards to their liability in this. There is already a class action lawsuit filed, in 2020. It is sad that they are handling clients this way. I was very nice and I work in customer service so I understand what is possible etc. The Jeep mechanic locally , called on my case to verify and tell them that my engine needs to be replaced as a direct correlation of the recalled parts and that they were on back order for months. During those months I tried to have recalled parts replaced and couldn’t because the parts are on back order. During this time my warranty became invalid, because I exceeded 60,000 miles. I’m currently at 62,000 miles. At the time I attempted to have recalls fixed I was under 60,000 miles. Secondly the warranty expires In 2022. Regardless , the recalls caused the engine needing to be replaced. Please advise what my options are to ensure I don’t have to pay to replace the whole engine. Thank you
As I excelerate any where between 25-32 MPH, the car jerks forward (with a feeling of being hit from behind).

While driving jeep will turn off on its own and oil pressure low warning turns on. This is really unsafe since it’s happened twice and on a busy street.
It stalls out of no where, if I am pushing on gas to go it just stalls and then when its really hot outside it doesn't even want to start.
Engine stalled. Restarted after fifteen minutes then quickly stalled again. Restarted again after thirty minutes (and continued operating as we turned around to return home. We were on the shoulder in heavy traffic on I-70 east of Loveland Pass in Colorado with light trailer in tow, Dealer reports it could not reproduce the problem. Vehicle was inspected by dealer service department. No symptoms or warning lamps came on prior to stalling. Engine temperature gauge was in normal range. Fuel level was between quarter and half tank. So, no warning beforehand.
While driving, my engine stalled and would not restart. I was able to pull off the road and after some time the vehicle reluctantly restarted. This happened twice within 4 days. Both times I was descending and decelerating on a street going less than 10 MPH. The stall occurred after applying brake and did not respond to gas pedal input. Rpms read zero, all electrical and power steering still working.
Three times now the vehicle has simply died while being driven. No warning lights or sensors; just stopped running. All three times the vehicle had just been started, idled for a couple of minutes, and then died within three minutes of being put in motion on a city street while driving straight ahead at speeds between 15-30 MPH.
Vehicle will stall out when driving, going less than 40 miles per hour. System does not shut down. Does not seem to be a battery or electrical issue. Had this happen 3 times in a month. Pulled over into park & had to restart the car. Low oil pressure light came on. Took in for a routine oil change. Mechanic referred me to dealership as they could only determine a low oil consumption/ pressure. Terrible knocking sound in front as well. Very concerned as other jeeps have been recalled for similar issues, but my 2017 renegade latitude is not under the recall. Huge safety concern.
My car stalled. I had to take it to jiff lube to have it topped with oil because the oil change was not due until 2000 more miles and the oil was very very low.
No low fuel warning light. Vehicle stalls out with 4 bars left I gas gauge. While in motion.
