2017 Jeep Renegade fuel system complaints

2017 jeep renegade engine dies while driving, often after making turns, and it takes a few minutes to start back up. This has happened on both residential streets at slower speeds, as well as on the highway and is extremely dangerous. Service department at jeep dealership says it's normal and a "feature" of the vehicle to turn off the engine if oil levels get too low. We regularly change the oil every 3,000 - 4,000 miles, and there have been no oil leaks detected.
While in motion the vehicle has shut off in the middle of the street numerous times.. Once while turning the vehicle has turned off.
I have tried to get in contact with someone to get my fuel pump fixed. I finally did today. But can't get in until nexta friday. My car has stopped working completely while driving. I have had to wreck into mailboxes stop in the middle of the road, and almost be hit because my car stops working. I can't wait any longer. My car is a danger
The car seems to want to stall when driving along. Had to press on the gas and go above the speed limit so as not to stall. If I put it in gear and press on the gas I have to keep pumping the gas peddle for the engine to get the gas. Also if oil is low, the car just shuts off has happened to me 3 times, the sensor (dummy light) does not warn you that your oil is low. I do not drive my car far as I am afraid it will stall in the middle of the highway as I go to work.
After refueling the engine stalled when I drove onto the highway. After restarting, the engine shut down. A light came in "vehicle must be in park or start". I put on 4 way flashers. After several stalls, my jeep restarted. This is the second time this has happened.
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.
Vehicle was in motion and all of a sudden loss of power, vehicle will not accelerate until you get off accelerator and then it will accelerate when you depress the pedal. Has happened multiple times.
I got gas at a local gas station and as soon as I pulled out started to notice hesitation and jerking from the vehicle. Pressing the gas I noticed it wasn't shifting gears as good and engine light flashed but didn't stay on. After 2 days the problem did not end and finally engine light was consistently on. I could notice the vehicle wasn't driving as good in cruise control and would constantly jerk and vibrate. While the vehicle was not in motion a consistent jerk was present. I drive to work on the interstate and going up hills I began to notice a lag in the vehicle.
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.
Losing oil not getting 25,00 miles between oil changes car stalls and turns off until I get oil changed. Also dashboard alerts for lights out or service warnings but the lights are not out.
Car stopped and totally shut off in the middle of an intersection. Luckily a man stopped and pushed my car. I had to shut it off and restart it. This would have been potentially fatal in a busy intersection.
Vehicle alerts of low oil pressure when completing a tight turn or u-turn. After a few occurances of this, the engine turned of while driving on city streets. I pulled over, checked oil level and it was extremely low. Changed the oil and a month later the alert reoccurred. Checked oil and it was low. Added oil to keep from repeat stalling. This seems to be very similar to the recall of the crack oil pump housing, the federal safety agency number 18v131000.
You drive it it start to slow down and stop, then wont start again.
While driving car did not give any signs it would stop, steering wheel was locked and so was brakes and gas pedal, car kept saying to put in park and oil pressure low , car came to a complete stop while turning in intersection it did not turn off it just wouldn't move.
Recently, as I was driving, vehicle would stall whenever I would hit my brakes and ask me to shift into park (p), causing me to have to restart my car. Engine would take quite a few seconds to fire/restart before I was able to drive it again. It would also vibrate quite badly and be unable to go any higher than 40mph or 1500rpm until I restarted my car. It would not allow me to accelerate at all until I restarted. This happens every time I drive the car and has been happening for about a week.
Sputtering, hard starting, bad gas mileage, low or bad acceleration, misfires, just bad running
Transmission keeps skipping every 30mph increment. Now my car out of nowhere shuts off. It's happened now 3 times in a matter of a week. I will be driving and it doesn't let me accelerate and it asks me to put the car in park and turn it back on. When I try turning it back on it takes 3 times before I can start it back up.
Driving down I-95 at a speed of 65 car begins to slow down even while im accelerating, was able to pull car over and once I got on shoulder I cut car off to see if that would help, car would not turn back on at all. Had to get towed to the dealer which they said it was the fuel pump, they fixed the problem only for the same thing to be happening a month later, the car keep doing hard jerks and not wanting to accelerate. I can be in drive and the car will tell me im in park or just shut off on me
Ever since the beginning of november 2019, my renegade has been stalling when I am in the middle of driving. It started out to be a couple of times but it now does it every time I turn it on and drive. It has stalled on me when I have been in the middle of busy roads and has almost caused accidents. I notice that it will stall if I am turning a corner or if I have just started it up and driving off within the first few minutes. I know there are a lot of complaints by other 2017 renegade owners but I have the deserthawk edition and I haven't seen anything for my model. I take very good care of it and it is only a couple of years old. The stalling problem that I am having seems to only be getting worse.
Loss of power when driving for a few seconds.took it to the shop 3 times the 3 times came back the same.
Vehicle shuts off at higher speeds. This year, make and engine have been recalled for this problem. My specific vehicle, while having the same shut off problem for the past 2 years, is not part of the recall. It is a dangerous ongoing problem.
Vehicle turned off after stopping at a stop sign and then depressing the gas pedal to begin moving again. Had to shift vehicle to park and attempt to start several times before it started.
According to the dealer I must check my oil every 1k miles to check the oil level. This is about the 3rd time my car has stopped in the middle of traffic. When I call the dealer all they say is did you check your oil. The last time this happened was on sun, nov 3, 2019. Why are companies allowed to sell products they are fully aware have defects, to turn around and make it the consumers responsibility.
Car loses power while driving . This has happened 5 times withing 48 hours. One incident I was driving 60 MPH on highway and the car lost power and I almost got rear ended by a truck. Also oil pressure light came on twice for a second while turning corners and then went off. I had my oil changed and is not over miles. I am not sure if these two issues are linked,
Jeep quits for no apparent reason while driving down the road. No dash lights come to indicate a problem.can't drive the car because scared of getting into an accident. This has happened at least 5 times over the last 2 weeks
Was on a highway doing about 67 MPH and I felt a loss of power but still had my foot on the gas pedal. From there the renegade started puttering and stalling. Had half a tank of gas. Almost felt like it was running out of gas
The vehicle loses power while driving. Slows down as the gas peddle is depressed then abruptly begins to speed back up. The transmission also jerks sometimes while increasing or decreasing speed. While driving on the highway.
Car would not give gas and completely stalled out on me, and cut off!! It would not turn back on for several minutes. I almost got reamed by a large dump truck because this happened in the middle of a back windy road!! Also, my car is slipping out of gear from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! Dealership tells me I was almost out of oil???? How can this be? I get regular oil changes, and funny thing is, they always tell me I'm low!!?? I'm first owner, purchased in november 2017! Only have 36,000 miles! Now dealership telling me this is "normal" for renegade? Why wasnt I informed before purchasing!!! This is a major sadety hazard! I was almost seriously injured, the dump truck screached to a halt by a matter of inches!!!!
Airbag service is on and don't know what caused it. There has been no damage to my vehicle. The engine is using up a lot of oil in a very short amount of time. 2000 miles after my oil change I discovered that my engine has no oil left in it and my gas is being depleted at a very fast rate
