general problems of the 2017 Jeep Renegade - part 1

While accelerating on freeway, engine suddenly turned off. Fuel pump went out, and I had to coast to safety avoiding traffic. Having to move lanes into the shoulder was incredibly scary once my momentum dropped to 15mph on a freeway alongside cars going 85+. It almost caused 2 separate accidents where others had to slam on their brakes. I noticed other Renegades have recalls for this, I’m curious why mine does not when I enter in the VIN?.

While driving my car, all of a sudden all my icons on my dashboard will light up. My car will die in the middle of driving it and once I put it in park it won't restart. Also when driving it seems like not enough gas is going through to get it to move. I can be driving my car for 15 to 20 minutes and all of a sudden it dies in the middle of the road. This is the 3rd time it has happened to me since owning it all withing the last year. . It is unsafe for me to have my car die in the middle of the road while traffic is all around me. Something is absolutely wrong with my car. Yet I put in my VIN for my particular car and it doesn't show a recall but on the 2017 Jeep Renegades there have been recalls for fuel pumps electrical and not enough fuel pressure.

There are open recalls on the issues I have with my vehicle but it says my car isn’t one of them but it’s having the problems.

I was traveling on the highway at approximately 65mph at rush hour and my vehicle's accelerator stopped working, therefore rapidly slowing down my vehicle without any messages or notifications as to why. I barely got my car to the shoulder of the highway before the accelerator became completely firm and would not allow my car to move forward any further. This happened in a span of a few seconds. Before putting my car in park, it said I needed to put it in park and depress the brake in order to shift into drive. This is the 2nd time my car has become disabled abruptly on the highway and thr first time it was taken to the Jeep dealership where they said it was a fuel pump and electrical system and that my car ran out of gas without it showing I was on empty. The gauge read just short of the empty mark both times before becoming disabled but the light never came on saying I was almost out of gas.

Gas pump keeps shutting off every 2 second. It is only 2017 model with 59000 mileage, and I can't even pass the smog check. I feel like I should report this, cause major japanese car never have this kind of problem.

Jeep Renegade 2017 fuel pump recall fail. Check engine light on after the recall. Diagnostic shows evap leak from the fuel pump assembly. Dealership refuse to hold responsibility of the recall. It has been 5 months already. Tech smells gasoline from the backseat and it is a fire hazard.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Renegade latitude. The contact stated while reversing out of the driveway, the vehicle inadvertently stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated she turned off the vehicle and was unable to restart it after several attempts. The contact also stated the vehicle was making abnormal clicking sounds whenever she tried to restart it. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel pump needed needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was still awaiting a call back. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 have a 2017 Jeep Renegade latitude. I bought it in 2020 and had it for 2 weeks when the engine blew up. There was a recall on the engine so Chrysler paid for the “new” engine. Two weeks after I got it back it started stalling out when I was driving down the road. I had a new starter put in it and now when it decides to shut down while driving the brakes come on, including the emergency brakes, it comes to a screeching halt, and the gear shift throws itself from drive into park. I just want to either get my car fixed or stellantis to trade with me to make things right. It is very unsafe to drive. Especially when you don’t know when it is going to do this because it doesn’t happen every time you drive the car.

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.

Jeep has 35000 miles on it and while driving down city streets 4 times the vehicle has just stalled. One time it stalled starting from a stop sign. One time it stalled turning off the highway.

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.

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.
