While letting off the gas to slow down to either a stop or around a curve; the car idles all the way down and dies, the dashboard flashes a message saying 'vehicle must be in park to switch gears'. when I place the vehicle in park it then tells me to push the brake and the start button; when I do the car 'whines' and acts like it's having a hard time starting back up; when it does finally turn over it idles high until I put the car in gear making it jump.

Vehicle was purchased brand new off the showroom floor in July. In December it began stalling at odd times and not wanting to restart. Week before christmas the oil change indicator came on. I thought nothing of it and figured I would schedule it as soon as I could after the holidays. The vehicle began stalling shortly after the oil change indicator happened. I thought it was because I did not let the vehicle warm up long enough and it was very cold outside. Nope. I was on my way to the gas station and the vehicle stalled in the intersection and refused to restart. I was almost struck several times. It took 5 minutes to restart the vehicle and it was making noises like the engine did not want to turn over and catch. I finally got it out of the road and into the parking lot of the gas station. It sat for a few minutes and then restarted reluctantly. I filled it up with gas and it took several tries to get it to restart. A week later I was coming home from work and it stalled on me leaving the parking lot, I had literally driven 500 feet. When I restarted it, the vehicle check engine light came on and the red "power reduced" light was flashing on the dash. It would not go over 25 mph. I was able to get it to a parking lot a little ways up the road and let it sit for about 20 minutes. It restarted with no problems, the reduce power light was gone, the check engine light was still on, and I was able to drive it at a normal speed the rest of the way home. I started it again the next morning. No issues, check engine light is still on. As of this writing, I have had the vehicle for 6 months and it has 8100 miles on it. I bought it new off the showroom floor. If the reports I keep seeing on here are accurate, I will be trading it in for something else asap.

Vehicle stalls while in motion with no warning. Happened at least 4 times within the last month.

- East Brunswick, NJ, USA

Had an oil change around 2 months before the issue occured. When pulling out of my drive way the Jeep stopped and shut off. Upon inspection I was low on oil. After adding 3 quarts of oil I found where other people online had similar issues with specifically the 2018 Jeep Renegade 2.4 liter motor consuming copious amounts of oil. Others had they're Renegades stop while driving down the highway but lucky I was lucky enough to be in my driveway. I have always had an oil change on time and through Jeep as well. I also don't understand how they passed and emissions test while the motor burns that much oil.

Twice now car has just stalled/shut off without warning. Engine light at that time suddenly shows "low engine oil pressure". taken to dealer twice and oil level low-->oil change done and problem resolved for ~ 3K miles. First time happened around 4-5K miles after oil change, 2nd time happened around 4K after oil change. Oil consumption test at 1K after last oil change shows engine is burning at least 1/2 quart of oil. Dealership states Jeep is stating this is within normal and that I should get oil changed/topped off every 3K miles. This is dangerous and unacceptable that oil consumption is so high that my engine randomly stalls because of low engine oil.

Furthermore, when the vehicle was turned off, the radio remained on intermittently. The vehicle was taken to motor world Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (150 motorworld dr, wilkes-barre, pa 18702, (888) 459-2493) and was informed that an oil change and oil consumption test were needed. The oil was changed. The dealer could not locate a failure with the radio. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided case number: 71429369. The failure mileage was approximately 29,000.

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.

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.

My Renegade first gave me 'issues' before the first oil change due date. Just 2 months after purchasing the vehicle brand new, it shut down while driving back from my beach vacation. I was driving 70 mph on interstate 65 and it just completely shut off. I had to coast from the flow of traffic onto the side of the interstate. My 8 year old son was also with me during this first of several dangerous encounters. It took me about 6 or 7 attempts at restarting my car and getting back in traffic before I finally made it safely home that day. Each of those attempts first resulted in the car shutting off and me coasting to the side of the interstate to avoid an accident. Every time my car is close to an oil change, within about 300-500 miles, it experiences the above scenario. It has taken several months to finally find the pattern and realize the problem. The problem is that the engine is burning an excessive amount of oil, running the car low on oil, and then the safety feature shuts off the car completely. This happens without any type of warning; no lights or any type of signal. This summer, I had to complete an oil consumption test on my vehicle. This consisted of me driving to the dealership every 1,000 miles for them to check my oil, chart how much it used, and fill it back up with oil. The distance from my house to the dealership is 35 miles; quickest route being a 46 minute drive. I had to repeat this process 5 total times. At the end of the 5,000 miles I was told by my service technician (allan) that I missed the cut off for receiving a new engine by about quart of oil. He also expressed that his personal opinion may be different, but that the standard/guidelines was what he had to go by for diagnosing the results.

My Jeep renagade has 2950 miles and had no oil I had to put oil it it to get it to the garage to is what was going on, so they decided to do a change and I have to drive it another 700 miles and take it back to them to see if it's used any oil, I've never before had a new vehicle that ran out of oil or that I had to add oil to before the first change, I very unsatisfied with the way things are being handled

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.

While accelerating the vehicle staled. I was scary I bought my Jeep and it only has 8000 miles on it. I put the car in park then drive it did not move. I pushed off the road. Turned the engine off then restarted it, and it drove fine. I am still nervous driving my Renegade, it may happen again.
