Failure Date: 07/15/2020

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.

4 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2019

Fuel pump module: issues addressed by recall remain unresolved. Was told by dealer that there was a part available, then had our appointment cancelled because they had run out. Driving the car with this issue is dangerous as the car tends to stall when accelerating onto a highway or when making a turn. We have barely avoided accidents on several occasions due to stalling, including one with a semi-truck. Engine: hard idle when cold. Engine rattles loudly. Power train: when car is accelerated to 30 mph range, it "hiccups" or jerks when accelerator is pressed. We have taken the car in for this issue numerous times, but every time we are told that the "computer isn't picking anything up" and problem remains unresolved.

I took the vechicle for the recall for a replacement on the fuel pump module and I was told they didn't have it and that I would get a call for the replacement.

7 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2019

Whille driving the vehicle on a city street and making a right turn and descending a small hill the vehicle "service engine light" illuminates, chimes and the vehicle transmission locks into a random gear (typically 3 or 5th gear) and remains in this gear. It happens over half of the time and results in a very unsafe driving condition as the vehicle is unable to accelerate properly or maintain adequate speed depending on the gear in which it is stuck. The vehicle has to Dodge traffic and pull over in a safe place where the vehicle can be shut off and restarted, which in most cases will reset the transmission and allow it to function closer to normal. Fca in conjunction with the dealer have been attempting to remedy this extremely dangerous situation for 6 months. They have replaced the transmission control module, the transmission, the evap canister and the fuel pump. Fca and the dealer are stating this is "normal" function and that the turn or the hill must be extreme operation. This is happening at a slow speed turn of 10-15 mph. I have video recordings which have been shared with fca and the dealer and I would gladly share with NHTSA. As a former vp at a tier one automotive supplier, I can assure you this is not extreme operation and is a significant safety issue which the manufacturer is unwilling to rectify. If the manufacturer is unable to identify the root cause of what could potentially be a software related safety defect it could result in additional Jeep Renegades operating unsafely on public roadways. Please advise where I can send all the video evidence.

8 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2018

I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade. There is a massive recall on them due to the car shutting off due to fuel pump and oil sensor issues. I have had the vehicle shut off on me in intersections and on the highway and is very unsafe to drive. I contacted chrystler and they said that they are not fixing this recall until after the 1st quarter is over due to part and funding issues. They refuse to help me with this issue. I cannot drive this vehicle due to unsafe conditions.

9 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2018

I purchased my car back in may of 2018 and have noticed inconsistencies with my fuel consumption as well as a strange kicking feeling when driving at times. I received a notice in the mail in December shortly after going in for some maintenance which detailed the underlying issue. It said that the current fuel pump module on this car is prone to cavitation and that the spontaneous loss of fuel may result in a "sudden loss of motive power, which may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. " I called the number provided on the notice and was again informed that there are no parts available currently to remedy this issue. The call center rep also indicated that the issue was made public in October. When I asked if there was any timeframe for how long it might take for the needed part to materialize, I was told that there was "none at this time. " I am very disappointed that the manufacturer would produce cars with such a glaring problem then not offer any specific remedies or solutions for the people driving them. They recognize the part has to be replaced but this is obviously not a priority for them as they have not provided a solution for months now. The only solution I have been offered was to be reimbursed for select damage to the vehicle that may occur after the fact. I believe that is blatant irresponsibility on the part of the manufacturer and would like this part made available as soon as possible as I am now in a position that I can no longer reliably travel in the vehicle I'm continuing to pay for. I hope you will see my complaint and respond at your earliest convenience. I realize I'm just an average consumer but I feel like manufacturers have to be held liable for incidents along these lines. I can't help but feel like I'm driving a ticking time bomb with no evidence to the contrary.

10 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2018

Fuel pump recall: may cause car to stall and result in a crash. Every time I turn my car on, it is overly loud and when I'm driving you can hear guzzlingn noises. No inspection was offered on my car. My car was bought at a Jeep dealership 2 days prior to this recall which was over 2 months ago. Reached out to the fca and they got me in contact with dealerships who did not have the parts readily available and could not give me an eta. I insisted that I have two small children and I did not feel comfortable driving around a vehicle that could at any time cause a crash because of a defected part. I was told it was a one in a million chance that this could happen, which obviously is not the case if a recall was issued. I was told I would receive a call back from the dealership on Monday and had to call back two days later because I had not heard back. I made an appointment to go in, and when I went in the sales manager told me that the fca hadn't released the part for a recall that's over two months old and their hands were tied until the part comes in. I was told that if I traded in the car I was looking at a huge negative equity I would be paying for a car I had, again, bought two months prior. I was not advised on the buy back option, but just told I would have to take my chances until the part came in.

12 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 09/16/2018

While driving 80 mph on the interstate the car suddenly stalled. The fuel was over half full and oil was with normal ranges (checked before trip). This is the 5 such instance of this happening between accelerating from a stop lightroom driving on the highway. The first couples times dealership tried to say it was the viscosity of the oil caused it to be lower than the car read it to be. An oil change was done. Nothing else. This time the dealership is going to replace the fuel pump.

13 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2018

Takata recall. Was driving at 75 mph on cruise control when my Jeep slammed on the breaks. It then proceeded to have surges. No lights came on. It completely shut off but was still on. A error came on stating to service transmission. Took to a dealership that said it was needing an update with the computer. Went 340 more miles the next day and it done the exact same thing. Lost all power steering. No warning lights came on. Got towed and they told me no codes came up while plugged into the computer. Was then told it was the fuel pump and would be a two week wait. Was told it's been a very common thing with the 2017 Renegades so they're back ordered. I was also told that the dealership the day before bypassed something to send me on my way. Called Chrysler and they aren't helping at all. And I'm still 480 miles from my home. There should definitely be a recall on them. It will end up getting someone killed.

14 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2018

I'm concerned about recall number 18v-731. The letter we received said a solution would be available by the end of q4 2018. I called our dealership today and confirmed there is no solution yet. This is an extremely dangerous issue. Cavitation from a bad fuel pump really doesn't describe what it's like to have your engine stall out on you at interstate speeds in heavy traffic while going uphill. Twice. A third time it occurred on a simple city street. We were almost involved in a serious accident the first time it happened. No warning, no check-engine light, no sputtering or less-responsive engine - nothing. Just stalled out. The issue is likely to occur in hot summer time and driving up hills. We live in hilly tucson, arizona where it will hit 90deg tomorrow. This is unacceptable and I believe the manufacturer claiming its just a faulty fuel pump is bogus. If it was that simple, why is there no new fuel pump available? why are the fuel pumps on new inventory okay, but they can't produce one good enough to satisfy this recall? after experiencing the issue several times, I think the problem lies in the software, or how the sensor reads the fuel pressure or engine temps. The car didn't heave or sputter before the issue arose - the engine just cut out. I've driven old cars with poor fuel pumps before and they let you know before they die. And they don't come magically back to life once you pull off the road and turn the car off and immediately back on again. Software does that - not mechanical failures. I refuse to put my family at risk again this summer, and summer comes fast in southern arizona. Please help me look out for my little family. We don't have the money to trade our defective Jeep in for another vehicle, and really need this car to work. This is a dangerous issue that I feel is not being properly respected by the manufacturer. Thank you -.

15 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/08/2018

A recall without a remedy was issued for part of the fuel pump system and it can shut the vehicle down in higher than average temperatures. I had this happen last June (2018) and the recall was issued in October. The original notice said it would be resolved by q4 of 2018. It is now April of 2019 and I live in florida, which means higher than average temperatures every day. I have two children under 5 and cannot risk the safety hazard of my car potentially shutting down in the middle of the highway! this should have been fixed 5 months ago!.

16 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 05/26/2018

My Jeep shut itself off while in motion on a city street on three separate occasions. I had to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle was diagnosed with a "fuel pump issue".

17 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 04/28/2018

I have been saving for ever to buy the card of my dream: a Jeep Renegade and I finally got it. I have been driving for thirty-five years and not even a parking ticket and with the same insurance for fourteen year (geico). One evening on my way to the supermarket and while making a left, I felt as if the vehicle was not moving, I kept pressing on the gas and it slide very slowly, and boom! I was hit on the back on the passenger side by an old pick truck. (a left in az, you are negligent). What a nightmare! the police taking the report was something that I could not explain, him talking and laughing with the young men that hit me as if he knew the relatives that came to aid. I called my insurance for a tow truck and they were unable because their computers were updating. I just knew that I was not negligent, and I was right. I received a safety recall for Jeep Renegade 2017 from the fca stating that a loss of fuel pressure may lead to an engine stall resulting in a sudden loss of motive power, which may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Remedy: all of the involve vehicles must have the fuel pump module replaced. To get an appointment at more Chrysler to see if they had the part for the car it was a hassle, a lady at the service department had no idea if they had anything and finally today, I call several agencies I had idea existed (8/12/2019). Did I get an attorney? unless there is death, dismemberment, diu an the such there is no case. My intact driving record is damage (that is another story of what I went through), I have floating ribs and pain in all parts of my body. I am grateful to be alive. The very least I want is vindication for my driving record. How?.
