Engine Shut Off Without Warning Problems of Jeep Renegade

The car engine shuts down unexpectedly while driving. Bought the car from autonation 3 months ago. I noticed the oil low pressure just started to come with the shutdown. This is very dangerous if driving on the highway. This model needs to be recalled because I found hundreds of similar situations online.

Vehicle shuts off while driving as well as taking turns. Just shuts off with no warning. After it shuts off the lightning bolt in parentheses (electronic throttle control system) comes on, then goes away. Car shows as still running, but won't move. Sometimes the low oil gauge comes on, but the vehicle is up to date with oil changes. Very unsafe for vehicle to just "stop moving" or "shut off" in the middle of driving, or in the middle of an intersection. This has happened on and off for about 4 months, but now it is daily.

Purchased vehicle July 2019. Today I was making a right hand turn and the d light started blinking and the car just shut off. I was on a hwy rd with heavy traffic. It took a couple tries and the car finally started back up. I just found out that the vehicle I have has a motor that has a serious problem with oil issues and Jeep not fixing it, they're just telling the consumer to just keep putting oil in it. This is unacceptable considering how much I pay a month. These motors need to be replaced before someone gets killed. I put my VIN number in and it says no recalls. There needs to be one ASAP. Now that m scared to drive my vehicle.

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.

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.

2. 4 engine would cause stall not safety shut down without a warn that the oil is low. There is no warn on oil being low which lead to stall and shut down while driving that can cause wreck. The engine shut down without warn to discover need replace engine due no oil even I had the oil regular faithful change all time at the same dealership.

Engine stall when oil is low and power steering went out without a warn. There is no oil low warn or engine warn. None of the light come on for oil change or oil pressure. It almost cause me wreck the Jeep cuz no control when it shut down. Took to the dealership to found out there is no oil in engine which faithful change oil at dealership. No dash warn, I almost rear end cuz it sudden shut down. When I turn the sharp I can feel beep beep going off.

In the last two weeks my Jeep has stalled three times. Each time I was able to start the car easily and then start driving once I slowed down to stop sign or to make a right hand turn the engine shut off. In one instance I was able to get my car in neutral and push off to the side of those quickly to stay out of the way. But in another I was impeating traffic and it was very unsafe. I've had difficulty in jumpstarting the engine to move the vehicle. I have replaced the battery and alternator and checking the rest of the electrical system which seems fine but this issue keeps coming up and the car keeps stopping in the middle of traffic.

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.

My Jeep Renegade stalls when I make a slow speed turn. While making a left turn to get on the on ramp to a lah, the car dies. I almost got hit from behind by people trying to go up the on -ramp behind me. The car dies when making a left turn crossing traffic & I almost got killed. The traction control light blinks. These incidents take place on dry pavement. I now see other people having the same issues are posting complaints on the internet on a Jeep forum. Why has Jeep / fca not addressed this ? this is a safety hazard as the car dies for no reason and you can not move the car. There should be a re-call on this. There are documented problems with this & nothing is being done! my car shuts down for no reason.

Bought my car brand new, after one month it started shutting off randomly. While driving on the highway the engine shut off completely. "shift gear to p appeared on my dash". I had to turn on and off multiple times before it would turn on again and occur over and over again. Got the car towed to the dealership who told me it was completely normal and that I should be checking my oil every time I get gas. Said all I needed was an oil change. Did not have any concern for the dangerous occurrence I was in on the highway.

While driving down the road Jeep flashes all lights on dashboard and just shuts down. Doesn't matter where you are or how fast you are going, just powers down and you have to figure out how to roll off the road out of traffic. Had it to the dealership several times for the same thing, keep getting told this is "normal" and I should change my synthetic oil at 4,000 miles and this shouldn't happen.

As I was driving my 2017 Jeep Renegade, after I turned, my car wouldn't accelerate and a message came up to put my car in gear (it was in drive). Luckily I was able to coast and pull over. My car keep telling me to put my car in gear, so I put the car in park and pressed the ignition button but nothing happened. Then a message came up to start my car with the key fob. I touched the key fob to the ignition button and it started again. I was able to drive it the rest of the day, but it wasn't shifting properly. As it shifted, it would jerk into gear. That was on Saturday, October 19th. Today, October 23rd, after I turned my car shut off again. The same thing happened my car keep telling me to put my car in gear, so I put the car in park and pressed the ignition button but nothing happened. Then a message came up to start my car with the key fob. I touched the key fob to the ignition button and tried to start it again but the engine wouldn't turn over. It took 5 tries to start my car again.

Will be driving and vehicle will shut off while driving. Once it shuts off you have to put it in park and restart the vehicle back up. This has happened numerous times and even in intersections and on the interstates. The vehicle has been in the dealership for the same issue 20 times.

Driving down the road the car lost power, oil pressure light came off, lost power steering, car shut down. Wouldn't start. Checked oil, called tow truck. I had to push the car back to get it off the road while my husband backed it up to get it off the road. Tow truck got there, put can in neutral, engine light came on and wouldn't go off, car wouldn't turn off emergency brake, pushed it 20 or so times, emergency brake finally turned off so we could back up the car so the tow truck could get it front of it to tow. Car is now at the dealership. We have had nothing but problems with this car and it is dangerously unsafe. The car was in the dealership already this summer for weeks for electrical lights going off and the car continuing to run without the key in the ignition. The Jeep Renegades need to be took off the road.

2017 Jeep Renegade has an oil issue where it shuts off the engine with no warnings and when investigating the issue it was found that there was no oil in the engine and there was an oil change done less then 2 weeks prior to this issue it has happened 3 times now where there was no oil found in the car and there were no warnings about the oil level or pressure being low.

Jeep Renegade 2018, at 12 thousand plus miles, just started using oil. I brought this Jeep brand new, took it in for the regular scheduled oil changes, then all of sudden the oil pressure light came on the Jeep just shut off. I waited a second or so and it started back up. I went back home my husband checked the oil and it was empty. We add a 4 plus quarts of the correct oil. I called the dealership, for an appointment. It took 4 plus days to get an appointment. Before my appointment the oil light came on again. We check the oil and again it barely got any in it. We add just enough to get to the appointment. Now they say I have to drive it 1000 miles for a compression test. They know it's the motor!. I don't understand why I have to be put at risk of breaking down to prove there is something wrong. With all the technology the new cars have why can't they see the issue's on the computer?.

Vehicle stalled while pulling out into traffic, another time it didn't start after a few tries vehicle started. Stalled a second and third time but I noticed the oil indicator light came on for a tenth of a second then went out. Returned home and checked the oil level. (vehicle was just in for a 1000 mile courtesy check by the dealer vehicle had 2660 miles on odometer) service manager said everything is ok and we left. Odometer has 2975 miles when this shutting off occurred. When dip stick was read it was reading the very tip of the stick. I added 3 qts. Of manufactures recommended oil and took the vehicle to the dealer to read the codes and ask why I was out of oil with no oil indicator light on. Safety concern is this engine per the service manager is programmed to shut off in the event of a low oil pressure. The issue I have is that you do not get any warning that you have low oil pressure until the engine shuts off and then you really don't know why.

I have had my car for exactly 3 months. . . . . First thing that went wrong was the trunk hydraulic bar broken and fell off after I opened my trunk. And the big issue. . My car randomly shuts off while I'm driving, it started on the turnpike and then continued on the city streets. I finally was a block from the house and I had coast into my driveway. There is no warning when it happens it just shuts off. When I go to turn it back on it revs up real high and then idles low. My car is 3 months. . . . . Only has 3800 miles on it. . . I didn't pay 29k for a brand new car for it to have to be in the shop because something is already wrong with the engine. . . This does not reflect well on the Jeep Renegade. . .

I purchased a 2018 Renegade about 3 weeks ago. Within a week of that problo began with remote starter that had been added prior to purchase that would unlock all the doors whenever vehicle was started using remote starter. I was extremely frustrated as that vehicle had issues from day one and dealer couldn't fix them. No offer from dealership to allow me to return it. So out of frustration I traded it in for a much higher cost vehicle in hopes the issues would be gone with a brand new vehicle of a higher price and package. Not so! from the first day about 2 weeks ago I started experiencing serious problems. Everytime I use the remote starter the vehicle shuts off whether I touch the door handle, unlock vehicle with remote, open door or enter vehicle if the first three methods didn't shut it down. In addition the uconnect 4 w/7" display started locking a week ago and would not let me turn it off, change temperature inside vehicle, even locked out the manual controls of heater/ac temps,fan could not be changed, radio stopped playing. No matter what I tried nothing worked. I had to pull over and shut vehicle off and restart. Within a mile down the road it locked up again and this time same problems with non repsonsive controls as well as the video display began flickering in lower left hand of screen. I waited till I got to my destination and shut vehicle off. When I came out to leave it was somewhat working again. Prior to this issue with uconnect the vehicle had been to dealership twice. First time they claimed they could not replicate 2nd time I was told the remote starter was a known issue since 4/2018 with no known remedy and the radio uconnect system was defective and a new radio was ordered but was backordered with no known date of availability. So I have a very expensive vehicle with just over 1,000 miles with serious and potentially dangerous issues with it.

While driving, my Jeep Renegade will just turn off. I have to pull off to the side of the road and put the car in park and try to restart the car a couple of times. This will cause a major accident to someone someday. It just shuts off without warning. It's a 2018 Jeep Renegade with 5k miles! why would it just shut off? I was driving both times this happened to me. Once last week and once today 12/26/2018. The lights blink saying engine system/maintenance and low oil pressure. I have read online this is a problem with Jeep Renegades, but Jeep won't do anything about it. How does this get fixed? someone could get killed.

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.

Engine shuts off when turning. At approximately 23,000 miles October 2018, dash message briefly illuminated "check engine oil" only one time (then turn off) when in a sharp turn (left and right directions). This happened 3 different times. The 4th time, the engine complete shut off in the middle of the turn. I was leaving my work parking lot and decided to drive toward the dealership. The engine turned on without hesitation and no warning on dash. 1/10th mile from work, the engine turned off again in a turn, almost causing a rear-end collision. I pulled to the shoulder and called the purchasing dealership to explain and asked if I can drive to them. I explained the only issue was this and it was time to change oi. The technician said that changing the oil will resolve the problem. It did. It is now match 2019 and the vehicle has not shut off since October. I am not thrilled about this "so called" safety feature. Save the engine by shutting off. . . . But put passengers in danger. Not happy - especially since I am a single mom of 3.

Vehicle shuts off at higher speeds. This year, make and engine have been recalled for this problem. My specific vehicle, while having the same shut off problem for the past 2 years, is not part of the recall. It is a dangerous ongoing problem.

Vehicle jerked hard and immediately lost propulsion while driving 73 mph on interstate. Was able to coast to a stop at a rest area, engine light came on, car shut off. Would restart for a few seconds and die again. When trying to start it a message showed up saying to stop the car when shifting gears, the car was in park and not moving. Parking brake light came on without applying it, took several attempts to get it to go off. Roadside assistance had it towed to closest Jeep dealership. Car started for them the next day and they said no codes showed up and that the car stopped because it was low on oil and 200 miles past time for an oil change. Said this was a feature of the car -if it was low on oil it would just die so it couldn't be damaged by driving it with low, or no, oil, and that no warning light would come on. They changed the oil, pronounced it fixed and I got it back. 3 days later I was driving home on a hilly, windy, 2-lane road, 25 mph, the car again lost propulsion, this time without jerking first. I was able to coast downhill to a wide spot in the road and stop. When the engine light came on and a "service engine" message appeared. Called my husband, when he got there we restarted the car and it was shaking like crazy and sounded like a bunch of heavy metal objects were being tumbled in a metal drum. Called roadside assistance and the car was towed to the same dealer as before. After 2 days they called me and said that it needed an engine wiring harness, cam shaft sensor, crank shaft and spark plugs, plus the diagnostic check. Wanted me to pay for the work. Called my extended warranty company, they said it had to be towed to the dealership where it was purchased since it was less than 40 miles away, so it was towed there. Still waiting to hear from original dealership as to what they think the problem is, today is the 4th day they've had the car.

The vehicle shuts off completely while driving if engine oil sensor detects low oil in engine. This happens without warning no matter where you driving ie (highway or local roads).

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Renegade. While parked and/or driving at any speed, the contact heard a ding sound and the check engine indicator illuminated. A giant "p" appeared on the instrument panel, a vehicle icon appeared, and "ets, air coolant temperature, service hill start assist" appeared. The contact stated that the engine shut off. The vehicle restarted, but the failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.
