I purchased a 2018 Jeep Renegade at the end of July 2018, it had worked well until the end of June 2019. I was on a road trip from South Carolina to Colorado and I was on the road for a week with no issues, but on June 28th as I was driving on I-70 through Kansas at about 80 mph when my engine began to stall out. At first it was dropping about 10 - 15 mph, but then it was quickly dropping 30 - 40 mph. I was able to make it into the right most lane, but a check engine light and service transmission light appeared on my dashboard while my engine stalled out completely. I had to restart my car a few times, but after a few restarts the notifications disappeared. Every time the engine stalled out, I would lose the use of my gas and brake pedals. The electronics were still working, but driving was non-responsive. I was able to safely nurse my car into the nearest city and eventually get towed to the nearest Jeep dealership. The dealership was able to look at the Jeep the next day (June 29th) and did some computer diagnostics and told me that the Jeep was good to go. I made it about 180 miles and had just gotten back onto I-70 in Colorado when the issue returned. Engine stalled out, dropped speed to zero mph and pedals became unresponsive. I had to wait several hours to be towed to Aurora, co to a Jeep dealership (larry H miller Jeep). My Jeep was with larry H miller from June 29th to July 3rd. They told me that they drove it several hundred miles, despite my odometer not matching their information, and told me that there was no issue with my Jeep. I made it 10 miles from the dealer before the stalling issue returned. This almost caused a crash on a congested narrow highway in denver, co. When I called the dealer, they told me they couldn't help and to see another dealer. I was towed to a third dealer, who was also not able to find any issue.

I purchased and have driven a new 2018 Jeep Renegade 2.4 auto since December 2018. I was driving the other day and turned into traffic when unexpectedly the low oil light came on in my vehicle and it completely shut down! total power loss. I was almost demolished by a fully loaded log truck. I parked the car and checked the oil per the instruction manual procedure. It was over 2 qts. Low in 5,000 miles of driving. I have tried multiple times and the Jeep dealership refused to provide me with any repair documents after inspection. They told me the problem is well known but fca is doing nothing to remedy it and their service department was not going to do any further evaluation into the problem.this was not disclosed to me in any way before I purchased the vehicle nor is it mentioned or included at all in the owners/ maintenance manual. In addition I had to pay $85 for an oil change that should not have even been necessary. These vehicles are not safe to drive. I now have to park my nearly new vehicle because I am terrified to drive this car in traffic. They are still selling these things! please make them stop, they are dangerous vehicles to drive.

When driving at long periods of time at higher RPM's (2500-3000), especially when driving on an incline, transmission appears to shift hard, not go into gear properly, or just simply go into neutral, and slow the vehicle down rapidly. When traveling on the decline, there were no problems whatsoever. Vehicle has 4800 miles on it. Spoke to dealer, and service tech informed me it wasn't the first time he's heard this complaint.

Purchased new on 3/19/19. On 3/25/19, with 108 miles on it, the transmission locked up while in motion, in traffic on a very busy highway. Was towed to dealer, who 8 days later said transmission module was faulty, replaced, returned to me 4/1/19. 4/6/19 same scenario repeated, however this time in a parking lot. Again towed to dealer. The first time an extremely frightening experience! I strongly suggest a recall!!

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.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard several times when the brake pedal was depressed. There was no warning indicator illuminated. While on an incline, the vehicle rolled in reverse while the brake pedal was applied. The contact was concerned that the failure could result in a crash. In addition, the vent control function failed to operate properly to emit warm air. The dealer (big O Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, 2645 laurens rd, greenville, SC 29607, (864) 288-5000) was notified of the failure and scheduled a diagnostic appointment. The dealer provided a loaner vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

While driving the car, lost all power. Pulled over to the side of the road and the engine was no longer running. The D for drive was flashing on the dash and a message popped up saying to put the car in park to start engine. This happened at least 7 times and it's a brand new car with just 1300 miles on it.

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.

I purchased the car less than 2 months ago and it seems that the first four gears sometimes makes the car lunge when they shift up. I contacted the Jeep dealer I bought it from and I was informed they couldn't do anything because there weren't any warning lights on the dash showing up. It happens sometimes when im accelerating both fast and slow.
