This is similar to what others are reporting as well. However, my car has never fully stalled or decelerated while driving. I frequently experience the car not accelerating when I apply the gas. The engine will rev up but the speed does not change. I have had this problem since shortly after buying this vehicle new but it seems to be happening more often. I have never had this looked as I have found this to be a commonly reported problem with no resolution when taking in for service. It doesn't seem worth the money. It happened again today for an extended period of time and it almost led to me being rear ended.

This problem has happened to me multiple times. This is the first time I have found this page. I can be driving and the RPMs will stay around 2000 but the Jeep will not go anywhere. After a couple of seconds it starts running again and I can drive. This has happened when I am leaving from a stop also. I have been close to getting hit multiple times. I will start making more posts about this when it happens.

Update from Oct 11, 2018: Oct. 1, 2018, 51551 miles, engine stalls again. I was leaving a traffic light RPMs at 1K, and it will not go any faster, speed was stuck at 20mph.

I was in traffic flowing along on the highway at 70mph and it slowed to a crawl...stop and go at 5-10mph for about 15 minutes. Road dry, sunny, about 92 degrees F. I had the AC on and the radio full blast. I was pulling forward to crawl along and it stalled. The message center says it's not running and hit the brake and the ignition button so I did, and it started and I moved out. Happened again about 5 min. later. This time it didn't just start and I had to put it in park for a moment before it would start. Lucky for me we were going slow enough that people worked around me. The third time I was moving along faster at about 20mph as the congestion was freeing up...it stalled again. It was scary, nothing works and I had to glide over to the emergency lane. Dangerous. Scary. I know the 2017 Jeep had a recall for stalling due to a BFP. Does my 2016 have this issue also? I am no longer under warranty and I can't afford to have it checked out. I called Chrysler and reported it.

Update from Aug 18, 2019: Over a year later and I hadn't had the problem as I don't drive this car much. I went on a longer trip today. It now has 47,000 miles on it, but once again, it's a hot day over 90 degrees, and I am accelerating and decelerating between 10 - 25 mph for about 30 miles gaining altitude gradually, with the ac on full blast & it just stalls, and then the engine shuts off & it stops as if it's parked. This is exact same conditions as the last time I reported this. I start it up go on for a short time but now I've turned the AC off. I then parked it for over an hour before driving it again. When I drive it next I am accelerating and decelerating, but at higher speeds, around 30 - 50 mph, going around curves, downhill, then leveling out. Whenever the terrain levels out it hesitates as if it's going to stall. This continues for the next hour. I turned the AC on a few times & it began to stall so shut it off. It came close to stalling over a dozen times. It seemed to do best when I got to a constant speed of 50-60 mph for about the last 20 minutes of driving though it was still hesitating whenever I slowed down. I really wish I knew what was going on. Usually I only drive short periods around town and don't have this issue.

Update from Aug 18, 2019: I wanted to add in both instances there were NO warning lights and the car was NOT overheated.

I was driving the Jeep Renegade this morning and Monday morning (2/8 and 2/6/2018) and just after 1 mile of driving I took a right turn and the engine just died. The accelerator didn't respond and I had to put it in Park then shut it off and then Start again. In both instances there was no one behind me and it was early morning, so nothing happened.... Thank God. But this is AWFUL!!!! Please help. I usually have my kids in my car I don't want anything happening . Any Solutions .... Please help .....Extremely critical... any suggestions....

Again, the Renegade's engine stalled/cut out when making a right turn. This time I was across two lanes of traffic and nearly got killed again. My sub only has one entrance that right now is to a major road under major construction so the other drivers are not in good moods. Especially when I have to stop and restart the vehicle. The Vehicle is in "drive" and the message says to step on brake and push button to start. I am in drive already for crying out.

I could repeat this issue at least thirty times.

Dealerships have not been able to fix the problem. One time they claimed to run in new software, but nothing changed. I was told that this had happened to another woman and they ended up giving her another Renegade. Service department was rude and not at all understanding that this problem has been on going and I need to have a replacement vehicle. Being told that I don't have that coverage (never offered to me). So I will have to drive an hour to the original Jeep dealership so I can get a temporary vehicle. Was told if I wasn't satisfied with the results to deal with Chrysler about it.
