Care has stalled literally 4 times going down the road causing all the dash warning signs to flicker on and off. We almost got hit from behind two different times with my kids in the car. Wouldn't start but was turning over.

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.

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.

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.
