Other Fuel System Problems of Jeep Renegade - part 2

We were driving on the garden state parkway in NJ when the car jerked and turned off without warning in the middle of 60 mph traffic. We had to be towed and were told it was the fuel pump. The dashboard indicated now than half a tank of gas in the car but that wasn't the case.

Car randomly stalls in park, when reversing, when in drive but brake is being applied, or when first accelerating after putting into drive. Several times now it has stalled when I'm at stop lights. One time it stalled after just tapping the brake while approaching a stop light. That was terrifying because the car was still in motion. Also, car randomly jerks hard when shifting gears. Recently, car doesn't want to shift while accelerating up hills, and rpm's can get up to 4. 5 or 5. No engine light or other warnings lights ever come on. I have brought it to my mechanic two times now about the hard shifting and stalling. Have another appointment this week. They can't figure out what's causing it. Nor can they replicate the problem. This can happen a few times a day, then go weeks without an issue. I've seen the same problems from dozens of people on Jeep forums for 2015 -2017 models. No one had a solution, while seemingly getting brushed off by the dealerships about it.

2018 Jeep Renegade stalling, turning off while driving!!! 4wd service message, can’t turn steering wheel, car stalls and shuts down where it pleases.

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.

While driving car will lose power and low oil pressure message appears. Car dies and then shift gear vehicle must be stopped message appears. Then press break petal to start vehicle. When I press the start button it takes a second to get power and start again.

From the first few months we've had this car it will randomly stall out about 10 times over 5 years while driving on busy streets. We've taken it to a Chrysler dealership and were told it was fine, but that we should get more frequent oil changes. We don't drive this car much (5 years and only 24k miles). It is still doing this and I just checked articles on this model/year and there are both fuel pump ub2 and powertrain control recalls u87 that say they lead to stalling out. But they are not listed as being recalls on our vehicle. I called Chrysler tonight and they said these recalls aren't for our vehicle, only a random software update w20. The car has been taken to a Chrysler dealer a few times. It also had an issue where sometimes we couldn't pump gas (gas pumps wouldn't work) and read online there was a failure in some Jeep gas tanks that they were missing a hole. We looked and there was no visible hole. We took it to the Chrysler dealership and they told us that wasn't a real error and nothing was wrong but when it got it back there was a hole there and we have been able to pump gas since. So I'm not sure that we trust that dealership.

As of may 5, 2023 vehicle begin to jump when pushing on the gas as though there was bad fuel or a misfire. Reported to the dealership as soon as I had an appointment on may 15 due to no errors on the computer they were not able to diagnose without a code was advised to continue driving car as there was nothing happening on their end. On July 20, 2023 the vehicle turned off while driving and stepping on the gas the vehicle then turned on with lights. I had never seen before and then pulled over to check on overheating which there was none turned off the car, and turned back on, proceeded to a auto parts store where they had an obd two reader for codes p2122 & u1400 were reported multiple times at a severity level three. Vehicle is currently at the dealership where the mechanic reset the codes and doesn’t know how to get them back. Vehicle continues to jump when pushing on gas.

My car shut down and will not restart in high altitudes. This has been on ongoing issue since I purchased it in 2019. The car will sputter and feel like it has no power, then die. When I go to restart, it will not start. We have almost been hit by traffic several times because of this issue. Seems to only happen in high altitude. We live in the mountains, so we climb elevation quite a bit.

Every 2 days I'm adding a cord of oil to my engine. It started off. I would have to add a quart or two in between my oil changes and this thing is running unbelievably bad. Everything's failing on it now. It's leaking oil out of somewhere from the block. The manifolds leaking has been since day one and a thing runs so hot. It's unreal, it doesn't accelerate and then it tries to accelerate by itself. It bucks it decelerates and jumps gears.

Vehicle has been serviced twice for “drive train software updates,” and is yet again having engine issues with shifting gears and acceleration.

Vehicle losses power when driving. Will start up may have trouble at first. Seems to be loss of fuel.

About a week after buying the car, the back windows will roll down when they want(not all the time) a couple years into having the car, turned car on one day, and the gas gauge would not properly tell me how much was in it. A few weeks later the main digital radio/ back up camera glitched out and now will not work at all. And then randomly the air bag light came on and stays on all the time not sure why. Seen problems like these in older versions of my Jeep and wondering if others have same issues.

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).

Electronic throttle control light causing the vehicle to lose power there was a recall for this model and make for the same issue.

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.

The engine stalled and shut off with no warning lights or anything. The whole car shut off while I was driving. This has done it to me 2 times. First incident I was in the middle of an intersection and it died on me. I had to put the car in neutral and coast to safety. Got it to start back and drive to the dealership and they couldn’t figure out what happened. 2nd time I was merging on a highway from an on ramp and it just shut off with no warning. I had it towed to the dealer. I had oil and I had gas both according to the computer and dash of the vehicle. I was told the dealership that it was probably my fuel level sensor could be bad because the computer registers that I have fuel when I don’t have any. I was told it wasn’t covered under warranty and there was not any recalls at that time. I have read recent articles where many Jeeps and dodges around my year model with the same issues and the engine stalling. It’s happening now to me and I am seriously concerned for my safety. This car is 3 years old and shouldn’t be having this issue. I feel like I was sold a lemon and it has caused me to think I will never buy another Chrysler made vehicle.

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.

It consumes oil fast. I just had an old change 1845 miles ago. My oil light came on check and it ts empty not a drop on the stick. Not the 1at time it's happened. No oil leak. Only 58000 miles.

Check engine light comes on. Code is saying ratio of fuel to oxygen is not correct.

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.

Driving and my Jeep lost power and cut off without any warning. Had Jeep towed to tri city kia in eden, nc. My Jeep was checked and my fuel pump has failed. There is a recall for this but my Jeep does not fall in this recall. Can someone please advise me on what to do? I do not have any paperwork. Today the dealership called and informed me of the issue.

I was parking in my usual spot, slowly into the parking spot with my foot on the brake 5 mph, suddenly the Jeep accelerated and smashed into the wall of the building at full force. The Jeep bounced back so hard it jerked my head. The Jeep was leaking fluid, and the frame bent with body damaged. It had to be towed to the body shop. I am 100% sure that my foot was not on the accelerator. This could have been a fatality if I was on the road with other cars. Please investigate, I feel unsafe.

The check engine light comes on. The code reads p219a. Which means there's an air to fuel ratio off. It sounds like it's gonna stall.

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.

This has occurred ever since I’ve bought my car, and not every time. When car is at a slight incline and at a stop, it will not accelerate. Gas cap broke off for no reason. Dealership rep said that’s happened to someone else too. Chip for airbag sensors are not available.

First, this vehicle is burning 1 quart of oil every 750 miles. Being unaware, when driving, engine shudder and tried to fail, making me unable to accelerate through an intersection. When trying to accelerate, the vehicles rpms extend above 4 if I don’t accelerate at an extremely slow pace. I can not get up to speed quickly when going on to a freeway. The vehicle collision warning continues to malfunction. Had it fixed again recently. Gas is burning faster than it should be because of the high rpms and engine working so hard. I have 2 children, and got this vehicle brand new so I’d have reliable transportation. After the first month, I no longer felt safe driving it. Dealership keeps telling me everything is normal. These are not normal issues for a car. It’s a lemon.

Here lately when I start it up it cuts off immediately. I think it's the fuel pump.

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.

Cap-less fuel tank is broken, I was pumping my gas and pulled the exterior part off the cap-less fuel tank and it came right off. That should not happen.

Ongoing recall issue – 2016 Jeep Renegade (recall u90) this recall came out 06/16/2022 when I connect the dealership they keep say its backorder and that they have no eta on. Sometimes I do receive texts about the part being available but when I call, they say no and that it could be scammed when it clearly gives me the dealership info and phone number.

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.

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.

Vehicle throttle lags from a take off causing dangerous conditions while merging on to highway and turning on busy city streets.

The vehicle just stop and the computer panel indicated it was in shifting mode and wouldn't move.
