I purchased my 2018 jeep renegade in feb of 2019. I had under 5k miles on it and took it on my first road trip. I made it to colorado and the vehicle stalled while driving at least 12 times. There were no warning lights or anything. I had the vehicle taken to 4 different dealerships and no codes or issues were found. I dealt with fca which was a nightmare, and all they offered was a free warranty. I let them know I dont feel safe in my vehicle multiple times. I then took my vehicle on the first road trip this weekend to lubbock and once again it stalled out 4 times while driving 75 MPH. I dropped it off at the dealership yesterday and no issues were found again. There is a safety recall on this vehicle for the exact same issues yet my VIN doesn't fit the recall list. This is unacceptable and I want it fixed immediately. I could die from this vehicle stalling while driving at high speeds. Please get someone to help me.

My engine has less then 10,000 miles and the jeep is burning 1 1/2 to 2 qts of oil in the first two oil changes. This puts the driver at risk of engine running out of oil on the road. This could cause traffic problems and get people hurt.
When driving downhill 55 MPH at an approximate altitude of 5500ft on hwy 80 west in wyoming, my vehicle completely lost all power, engine shutdown and dashboard message said shift to park. Very scary and dangerous situation that I was able to control. I proceeded to park the vehicle on the side of the hwy and shifted to park. I waited for about 15 minutes not knowing what to do. I decided to turn the engine on, which it did, shifted to drive, and drove to the nearest hwy exit. I do not know the exact cause of the issue, but it seems, base on other owners report's that the problem is caused by a failure in the engine fuel pump and/or voltage regulator which it makes sense. Please investigate and recall the issue before someone dies.
Engine consumes oil. There is zero reason for a 2018 model vehicle to consume engine oil. Dealership has talked with me about this at every oil change and tried to explain that this engine is designed to consume oil. Bull crap!!! Recall this and fix the problem fca. There are thousands of people with the same problem and complaints.
Driving with my child in the vehicle and the car engine cutoff. Luckily I was not in traffic and was able to get the vehicle stopped. Message in dash was something about needing to shift to park. Placed vehicle in park, engine restarted and sputtered for a moment, then continued as normal. Only happened once. Dealership said it was likely due to low oil level (approximately 2500 miles since oil change).
Car is burning excessive engine motor oil. Car has stalled several times while driving in congested traffic due directly to low oil.

We have taken it to the dealership 3 times, each time telling us that there is nothing wrong. We have contacted fca group about the issue and said that we don't have any recalls and say that there is nothing that can be done. They have also suggested that we just seek out legal counsel. There is only 19k miles on the car and it was purchased brand new april of 2019.

Engine stalling saying shift into park. I had it towed to dealership and they are saying my oil is dangerously low. I had an oil change wednesday april 1st and have noticed no oil leaks. This has to be the fuel pump causing this.
Use excess oil, uses a quart of oil every 2,000 miles.
This is the fourth time in three month my vehicle has locked up, told me to switch gears and completely shut off. I was on the interstate and was almost rear ended because of this! The car continues to do this despite getting the recommended oil changes. My oil was just changed 2,000 miles ago. Someone is going to die and this needs to be recalled! Hundreds of renegade owners are having this issue. Dangerous! I have children and this car is less than two years old and shutting off?

Takes several tries to get started. Car has 6500 miles and has happened at least 7 times. Took to dealer, was told that there are no codes and they can't find problem. Have another appointment with dealer this week. Latest instance of issue was 2/29/20.
Bought my car brand new, after one month it started shutting off randomly. While driving on the highway the engine shut off completely. "shift gear to p appeared on my dash". I had to turn on and off multiple times before it would turn on again and occur over and over again. Got the car towed to the dealership who told me it was completely normal and that I should be checking my oil every time I get gas. Said all I needed was an oil change. Did not have any concern for the dangerous occurrence I was in on the highway.
Every time I get a oil change I have to replace the oil by the courts in between changes as well the oil pressure light comes on when I make turns or it may stall
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep renegade latitude. The contact stated while his daughter was driving at approximately 35 MPH, the low oil pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be inspected. The oil was topped off. An unknown dealer was then contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that due to a related oil consumption issue with similar vehicles, a quart of oil may be necessary to be added at 1,000 miles interval. The contact was informed that the manufacturer was working to remedy the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The manufacturer was able to confirm the information provided by the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 4,500.
Vehicle shut off twice while in motion with no warning. Changed oil at 12000 miles. At 14,500 miles the vehicle flashed a low oil pressure sign and shut off while moving on a 45mph road. It then struggled to restart. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership where they confirmed there was no oil. I am now doing an oil consumption test per the dealership's instructions and the dealership confirmed on the 3rd test (16000 mileage) after 1500 miles that the vehicle burned a quart of oil so far. We are continuing the tests. The vehicle does not warn of low oil or give warning when it is shutting off. It will completely shut off while in motion, leaving the driver to attempt to coast to a safe area. The dash will then read 'place gear in p and press button to turn on' this has occurred twice - the first time that required the oil change at 12000 in november 4, 2019 and the second at 14,500 on december 31, 2019. In summary, the vehicle burned through 5 quarts of oil in a little over 2000 miles and shut off with no warning, and is beginning the process again while being monitored under the dealership.
I was making a right onto a road and I lost all power to the drive train and had to make a sudden right turn into a subdivision that was to my immediate right. I could still steer; which was how I pulled myself off the road into the subdivision immediately after making the turn onto the road. I checked the oil level when I came to a stop inside the subdivision. It read that the oil level was slightly above the recommended level on the dipstick. I was on my way to have the oil change done. The car was due for an oil change at the time. I was taking it in for the oil change 100 miles before the due date. A week earlier and the day before the car displayed a low oil pressure indicator on the display. Those were the first times in my life I've seen that message. I contacted the parts department of the troncalli jeep dodge dealership I had bought the vehicle from later that day. I asked why the engine stopped and the man I spoke to said probably had something to do with how the engine was made. In which the engine could stall if the oil level is half a quart over or under the minimum or maximum level. That was the 1st instance of my vehicle stalling.
Incident 1 2/11/20 5pm I had left my office after work and was pulling into a turn lane at an intersection on a city street; car stalled in drive. I put it into park, put my foot on the brake and pushed the start button; and it started. No issues on the 20 miles home. Incident 2 2/13/20 7am I had just left my house and had turned left to exit my neighborhood when the card stalled in drive. I put it park and pushed the start button, nothing happened. I took my foot off of the brake and then reapplied my foot to the brake and pushed the button. Sounded like the card was trying to start. Waited a few more seconds and tried it again, it started. No issues on the 20 miles to work.
Car frequently states "oil pressure low" despite constant oil changes. Car idles when turning a corner and completely shuts off. Dashboard flashes messages that "vehicle must be in park", steering wheel locks up and tells me to "push the brake and start button"... I had to do this three times. Very dangerous! Car shut off in 5 p.m. Orlando traffic! Has happened three times in two months.
