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.

When coming to a stop, the Jeep stalls and tells me to turn engine back on and/or to change gears. After checking forums, other drivers said to check the oil and the oil was completely dry. Ive only had the vehicle a month and a half.

3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/16/2021

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.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2021

While I am driving, usually mid turn my car will stall telling me it's low on oil.

5 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/21/2020

The car will stall without any indication that the oil is low. Loss of power also accrues. I almost got hit by a car for losing power. The dealership says its normal for the car to use oil. But never told me when I bought the car I need to check it. This is a huge safety concern.

6 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2020

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.

7 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2020

The car dies while driving it. If you stop at a light, it dies. Then again after you restart and move up a few car lengths. Once it died while actually in motion!! apparently, the oil pressure gets low b/c the engine(2. 4) uses all of the oil within or less than 2 months time after an oil change. There is a recall on this 2. 4 engine, as of 12/10/20 I am told by the dealership, but only on Renegades that have all wheel drive and not front wheel drive such as mine. Not sure what the transmission has to do with a badly designed motor(a rep at the local dealership stated that it was a poorly designed engine that was supposed to use some oil); however, this engine sucks the oil dry in under 2 months time thus making the motor die/stall while driving. This is very dangerous! I have seen posts on forums where people keep telling others to make sure to keep an eye on your oil. Apparently, many people are having issues with this particular 2. 4 engine. The oil light only flickers while going around a corner & when you check the oil, it is almost bone dry - if comparing it to a 12 in. Ruler, it might land on the 1st line (of 8 lines) on the way to an inch - just the tip of the dipstick will have a slight amount of oil on it. This started happening within 2 months of purchase - car bought used in June 2020. At first, we thought that they sold us a car and didn't check the oil, but now we know better than that.

9 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2020

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.

14 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2019

Twice in the last week, my 2018 Jeep Renegade with around 17,500 miles has stalled after moderately hard braking. In both cases the vehicle had a difficult time restarting. In the last case, the stalling occurred during busy rush hour city traffic and we sat for about minute with traffic passing us while we attempted to restart the vehicle. My girlfriend, a new driver, was driving during this instance and I am concerned for our safety now.

15 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/24/2019

Car stalled in traffic with no prior warnings. The car would not start back up.

16 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2019

Vehicle purchased brand new was making left, low oil light came on, and vehicle wanted to stall. I called in to dealer to discuss since I was already bringing it in for a passive entry light on dash warning light. They said bring it in right away. My next oil change was over 1000 miles away from being due & they said it was down 2 quarts. I drove 250 miles until my next appointment for the other repair problem 2 weeks later and there was less than 1/2 notch left of oil on the dipstick. The engine was given a fresh oil change and now must be checked every 500 miles to determine if it's an engine consumption case. My other 2 oil changes were free to use within 1 year so in order to not loose them my oil changes were performed well before they were due.

17 Car Stall problem

One month ago my car stalled as I accelerated to no one into traffic. The engine light was on and I was directed to put the car in park, put on the brake and restart. On 8/25/19 the car stalled as I waited for the light to change.

20 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2019

First, speaker keeps going in and out then 12v port was dead. Screen shot off a few times. Hands free access stopped working a few times. Now for the 3rd time (3 different stall outs), the car is shutting off on its own while driving. This last time, it acted like it was in another shift other than drive and when I put it in park it ran rough then just died. Came back on like nothing happened after shutting off and restarting.

21 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/26/2019

I can be driving and the engine will just cut out. Will start again but stops every few minutes. This happened also when I purchased it in October 2018. The dealership had it for two weeks and said there was nothing wrong with it. It finally just stopped stalling on it's own but now it has returned!.

22 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2019

My stalled 3 times in 2 weeks. Twice I was slowing to take a turn-this happened a week apart in the same exact turn. Twice I was driving about 20 mph. This happened on 4-21-19, 4-27-19 and 4-30-19. I have approx 5200 miles. I called Chrysler and they said there were no recalls, that I probably do not need an oil change (she checked on this information). When the light goes on or 7-8,000 miles I should schedule one. No dash indicator lights come on. Each time I am able to guide my car out of traffic. I shut off radio, wipers and all electrical and after I hit to restart it sounds like it is really trying, but it eventually does start. I stalled this morning (5-1-19) and I was almost rear ended as it was so sudden. The car behind me had to swerve. I put on my hazards. I called Chrysler corporate because my dad hears something about the 2. 4l engine being recalled. Chrsyler corporate told me to bring it to the dealer and either way should be covered (warranty or added to recall). The dealer had no record of recalls and said I needed an oil change. That is ridiculous that needing an oil change could be such a dangerous thing. I find that hard to believe. I have had this Jeep since oct 2018. I am very scared now. I commute to boston in the tunnels and on the tobin bridge during busy rush hour. So disappointed these dangerous problems are happening - and so soon after purchasing. My customer care # from my call into Chrysler (fca - fiat Chrysler automobiles), which they closed even though it wasn't resolved, is 57585393. Called them 4-30-19 also, sometimes when I turn my wheel to take a sharp turn a bell dings one. It has happened about 6 times since owning.

23 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2019

Since 21000 miles (first instence) we have had issues with the car shutting off , and losing all power to the gas and break, almost causing a wreck. I was turning left and the engine sputrered, then as the wheel straightened up it completely lousy all gas, and break function as if it was not idling. About every 3-4 weeks after it would stall, but not lose complete control. We started to notice it was using excessive amounts of oil, after acknowledging first couple issues. We are currently having it looked at, as the electrical components would not allow us to start the engine at all, we are currently at 30,000 miles. Car is 1. 5 years old , problems arose 5 months ago.

24 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2019

This occurred after an accident, damaging the front bumper and grill of the vehicle. The day after the accident, vehicle stalls once while driving. The following day, vehicle drives as if putting in gas while in park, but is still able to drive along with stopping and going while accelerating. Now, the vehicle cannot accelerate past 15 mph, and still hold the problems previously mentioned.

25 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2018

My Jeep has stalled out while I'm in drive three times within the last 24 hours. Oil is fresh and has full tank of gas.

26 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2018

Tl the contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and was able to drive normally. The contact called tri-county Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (located at 1290 hebron rd, heath, OH 43056, (740) 522-3153) and was informed that the vehicle stalled due to insufficient oil and an appointment needed to be scheduled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where an oil change was performed, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 88513705. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.

27 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/04/2018

Vehicle stalling and dying while trying to drive. I can sit for 10 min and it hesitates so I have to put it in park and stop (sometime while in the middle of the road) it seems if I leave it running for about 20 min it will do this then the whole front end shakes and it automatically shuts its self off. And in order to drive it I have to leave it turned off for about 30 min then it will run ok. . . I've taken it to my local dealership twice they can seem to replicate it (if they even really tried to) I just purchased this less than two months ago had only 6 miles on it. Its a 2018 Jeep Renegade limited 2x4.

28 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2018

Bought my Jeep brand new in June 2018. Within the first month, the usb port that connects to car play would connect then disconnect when it rained. Took car to dealership and they said they couldn't identify the issue unless I brought it is when the problem happened and showed them. Which I couldn't because they were always closed when the problem occurred. Within that same month, when I pressed on the brakes it sounded like there was air in the brake line. Every so often, the satellite radio will cut out and say "acquiring signal". Car has also stalled out on me 3 times while driving. Twice beforehand, when I made a sharp right turn, the oil light would pop on for literally 2 seconds and go off. Car would stall out and when I checked the dip stick, it showed I had barely any oil. Manual says every 6000 miles. Oil runs out before the 6000 mile mark. If I knew I'd be paying out so much in oil , I wouldn't have paid so much for this stupid truck. Its a complete rip off. One of the times it stalled out, I was making a left hand turn with my children in the car. It stalled out just as I was turning and a car was coming in the opposite direction and almost hit me. There has been nothing but issue after issue with the vehicle to which the dealership would tell me theres nothing wrong with the vehicle when I took it there. Or that they cant fix it uuntil I can reenact the problem for them.
