The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while stopped at a red light, the vehicle was shifted into gear but failed to accelerate. The PUSH to START message was displayed. The contact pulled over and turned off the vehicle; however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer and diagnosed with a defective fuel pump. The contact was informed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The contact informed the dealer that the failure was like the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 18V731000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was 66,700.
From date of purchase, fuel pump has been bad. It turns off when it’s hot outside. Has happened 30+ times in the almost 4 years I’ve owned it. Brought to mechanic numerous times and they wouldn’t find the problem. Now that I’m aware of the issue and there was a recall on Jeep renegade 2018 but is not pulling up under my vin
Driving on June 13, 2022 in Nebraska during excessive heat (105 degrees), engine stalled on the interstate and check engine light came on. Towed to a dealership, who said I probably had bad gas (I think the code was for fuel trim low in bank 1). They reset code, I filled up with high octane fuel and continued, only to have it happen again 50 miles down the road, this time with no check engine light. Towed back to dealership. They tried to replicate the problem over the next two days by driving it well over 125 miles. However, temperatures were in the low to mid 80s on those two days. I am having the car hauled home to my local dealership to figure out the issue. I suspect that it is the fuel pump over heating and failing.
My husband was driving our Jeep today and it just stopped two times without any warning. Once while just going down our driveway (about 1000 feet from our home) and the second times was while he was in town going around a round about intersection. He was able to pull over and the Jeep started right back up but it could have been a lot worse if he would have been in traffic or driving 65+ MPH.
The vehicle just stop and the computer panel indicated it was in shifting mode and wouldn't move.
Vehicle stops ramdonly. It has happened more than 3 times. I have not received a Manufacturer recall repair for the two reported isuues . Or a written confirmation that says that my VIN # is not affected. Thanks
2018 Jeep Renegade will randomly stall described in this current recall 18V731000 Though searching my vin number shows no recall. This is a serious safety hazard and needs to be repaired asap
My jeep on 11/11/2021 just turned 60,000 miles the light came on change oil so I started it drove out of the drive way turned around the corner it said you can't shift in drive so I pulled over put it in park put my foot on the brake push the button to start it sound like a hissing sound then it would crank and start I got to the corner to stop and it died out put it in park put my foot on the brake and push the button to start did the same thing making like a hissing sound started to crank after a minute and a half and it seemed to do this in the morning although couple more times during the day. This is a serious problem it can cause an accident I think it's a fuel pump not getting enough fuel.
Car stalls / engine shuts off while driving. Engine will cut off while going over 30 mph. There have been many reports of this happening online on 2016 - 2018 Jeep Renegades.
2018 jeel renagade 4wd stalls while driving. Feels like loss of fuel pressure around 60 MPH. No speed control while deceleration. When stopped the vehicle requires to shift to park and turn off. Sometimes will automatically try to restart the engine several times. Dangerous because I was driving on a busy highway with no acceleration or deceleration.
The car smells horrible like gas inside when I start it to heat up. Started shaking, engine is making a loud sound that it didn't before. I got the transmission computer updated on march 30, 2021. Now transmission temperature gets to close to 200 degrees and the dealer said there was no need to flush because of the model. And I got the recall computer update on january 30. 2021 also for the oil issue. I'm am so unhappy with this vehicle. All these problems happen after my warranty ran out.
The jeep sometimes stalls when coming to a stop. It'll say that the car needs to be placed in park, you attempt to start it, the jeep struggles to start. Eventually it will start. The jeep also makes a hard jolt sometimes in higher speeds. It has been noticed to do this when the jeep is accelerating to cruising speed. Sometimes it is noticed when de accelerating.
I I am driving my car and at first when it hit one line of gas with no light on it would just shut off and not restart until I added more gas. This happened several time. I contacted the dealer and said they could not find anything cause there was not codes in the system and they could not make it happen again. So I was sent home. It has happen now at least four more times since. The last time it happened was last week and this time I had two lines of gas in the car. I had it in for expectation today and told them about the problem again. The preceded to tell me the same thing. Take it home because they can't find nothing wrong with it and I should call a tow truck next time it happens. But the car shuts off anytime. The last time it was on a highway with a two year old in the back seat. The car is acting like it ran out of gas but it is getting worst and is putting people in danger and can't get jelp to figure out what it wrong.

Upon pressing the gas peddle for acceleration, my car hesitates and jerks when I need to increase my speed quickly, but as soon as I let off of the gas it immediately stops. It does this in any gear upon shifting if I am in need to quickly increase my speed. For instance when I need to get on to an interstate (which I drive everyday) I have to wait for the traffic to be clear before I can get on the interstate because it wont go quick enough with traffic to merge. If I am out for an easy drive it drives just fine. (just like the recall for the other renegade listed. This has not fixed itself. It is still constantly doing this.
My car is shutting down while driving it. My car just started saying 'low oil pressure' and not even a day later turned off while I was driving it and I was almost rear ended. It did it once more before I was able to get it into the dealership. The dealership told me to do an oil consumption test and bring it back in but I don't think I should have to drive a potentially unsafe car. There is a class action lawsuit against fca from other people experiencing the same problems I am experiencing because fca has known about these issues for years and has done nothing to fix the problem.
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.
Cars loses power while driving, oil pressure and fuel pressure lights com on when stopped in park. Excessive oil consumption, seat belt sensor malfunction , this has happened 4 times, dealership wont return calls to schedule service either. Last occurrence was 8/21/2020 @ 33,150 miles
Rental vehicle. While on us 89 north bound after passing logan vehicle engine stalled/stopped several times while climbing thru cache valley on us highway 89 exposing us to a dangerous environment. Vehicle had to be pushed to a safe place (mile marker 429). This issue may or may not be related to the vehicle production or just only for the one identified above. 11jul20 utah forest/park person as well as utah state patrol trooper helped in obtaining road assistance.
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.
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).

6 times in the past week, our vehicle has started sputtering and stalling out while driving on the highway. Our gas was around half full and we were not going up or down any hills. The MPH range was 60-90mph that this was happening and after driving for a couple of hours. We were not able to restart the vehicle for at least 10 minutes and sometimes it took over 45 minutes before we could start the vehicle again. 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.
My jeep renegade may be equipped with a cracked oil pump housing/balance shaft module (bsm), which has caused the oil pump to fail and the engine to stall. I'm afraid for my family's life that the engine stall and risk getting into a crash. This issue was a problem for jeep in 2017 or 2018. I have brought this to the attention to the dealership in dec 2019 and mar 2020. I happened two does ago on may 23rd it completely stop on my fiancee with a full tank of gas. We are playing russian roulette with our lives.
I bought the vehicle 3/6/2020 from the I-10 dodge dealership in indio, ca. The car appeared to be working perfectly: no funny smells or noises, good acceleration and brakes, no warning lights on dash console or anything like that. Last saturday (5/2/2020) I drove it to my friend's mobile home. I parked in the carport and turned the engine off. I went into the home and looked out the window about two minutes later. Smoke was pouring out of the engine compartment. I looked in vain for a hose or fire extinguisher, then called 911. At this point flames were shooting up from the engine, setting the carport and the side of the mobile home on fire. The fire department arrived and put out the fire. The vehicle was destroyed in the eight minutes from when I called 911 to when the firefighters put out the fire.
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.
I was on my way to work, driving about 30 MPH, and all of a sudden, some "d" light came on, & then all the lightd came on & then I recieved a message that I need to switch my gears & my tire locked up & my car just shut down. I was not able to turn my car back on. After several attempts to push my start button, after finally getting it to turn back on it stalled out again. I was able to get it to turn on again then I made it home. I started reading blogs & it said to check your oil. I checked it and it was completely empty. I changed my oil last month and barely have driven it. I have a 2018 renegade with 24k miles on it. If my car did this when I jumped on the highway would of caused a major car accident. No reason why all my oil should be gone
When fueling, the pump continuously clicks off. I've tried multiple positions and multiple gas stations. It does not make a difference. In oct 2018, had a sensor replaced. It dint work. Due to extenuating circumstances, I wasn't able to get the vehicle back in until now (2/26/20). They replaced the fuel tank and I'm still having the problem. Brought back to the dealership and waiting to hear back.
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.
