2015 Jeep Renegade FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

When adding fuel at the gas station through vehicle Cap-less fuel fill tube, gas pump nozzle could not be removed without pulling on it which snapped the small thin plastic tabs holding cap-less fuel port in place. According to the manufacturer and repair Shops the entire fuel filler tube system has to be replaced and requires the gas tank to be removed to install the new tube This is a very poor design with poor quality materials and will cause fuel spills and combustion

Jeep Renegade 2015 . THE CAP LESS FUELSYSTEM. Can't physically put gas nozzle into the tank. I even tried the plastic funnel that comes with the jeep and that won't go in either. There are 3 plastic tabs that must be pushed in by the nozzle before the metal flap will release and allow the pump in. Two smaller ones in the upper left/right and one large one on the bottom. Sometimes these can get gummed(or in my case were kinda defective straight from the factory). In 2019 Renegade redesign the gas tank differently so I'm guessing they know about this issue. There are forum on top of forums about this problem. We really need a recall on this. Eventually, I have to exchange my cap less fuel system since I am dreading every trip to a gas station. I can't drive my car if I can't put gas in it.

At 58k miles my check engine light came on and it was determined that it was throwing the code 0456 for a small EVAP leak. I took my Renegade to the dealership for a smoke test and had told them there is sometimes a strong fuel smell when driving. The first smoke test they claimed they couldn't find a leak but noticed a strong fuel smell coming from the rear of the vehicle. They performed one more smoke test and still couldn't find leak. Scheduled another appointment, software update was performed and code was cleared. 2 days later check engine light came back on and when fueling vehicle found gas leaking from the rear wheel well. Took Renegade back to dealership, where it was determined the leak was coming from the fuel filler neck. Paid $500 to have new fuel filler neck installed code was cleared only to come back on the next morning. It was determined it was throwing the same code 0456 for a small EVAP leak. Was advised I would have to have another smoke test done. Idle is really rough when sitting still. It is no longer leaking fuel, but still runs like garbage. Haven't been able to have a forth smoke test done yet because I can't afford it. I have already forked out almost 1k since this started almost 2 months ago. Was advised I should reach out to Chrysler as I have had the vehicle since new and have kept up with all maintenance. Warranty had been expired 4 months prior to this issue.

I recently had the exact problem that was reported under NHTSA ID 11309398. I wanted to report this since if it is happening to me and others, perhaps Jeep will consider a recall to fix this issue. I had to pay over $700 for parts and labor (my warranty expired 2 months before this happened!). It's a pretty annoying manufacturing/quality issue. I've never in 50 years of driving had this happen on any car. Issue described below. The cap leess fuel filler broke. I was filling up the fuel tank and when I went to remove the fuel nozzle from the tank, the cap less filler neck came out with the nozzle. Basically fell out. And there was no obvious way to repair it. I had to replace the entire mechanism since I don't want fuel sloshing out of my tank.

MY JEEPS RUNS OUT OF GAS AT 1/4 TANK. NO LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. (I.E. WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65MPH, IN CITY TRAFFIC)

THE THROTTLE BODY STOP WORKING. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL AND DOES NOT START. IT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE STREET IT JUST TURN OFF

THE CAP LESS FUEL FILLER BROKE. I WAS FILLING WITH FUEL AT THE GAS STATION. WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL I WENT TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE FROM THE CAP LESS FILLER NECK AND THE CAP LESS PORTION BROKE AWAY FROM THE FILLER NECK AND STAYED ATTACHED TO THE NOZZLE. NOW EVERY ONCE AND AWHILE YOU CAN SEE GAS MUST SPILL OUT OF THE NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL SINCE THERE IS NOTHING TO PREVENT FUEL FROM COMING OUT.

ON THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. PUT FOOT ON GAS, AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. HAD TO CHANGE GEAR, AND RESTART ENGINE TO MOVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP RENEGADE. MOMENTS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, IT FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FOX CHRYSLER (4100 PLAINFIELD AVE NE, GRAND RAPIDS, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY; HOWEVER, THE PART WOULD NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL AUGUST OF 2019. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,147.

THE CAR WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING, THINKING THAT IT IS OUT OF GAS, WHEN IN ACTUALITY THE CAR HAS BETWEEN 3-4 BARS OF GAS LEFT. NO "LOW FUEL" WARNING LIGHT OR NOTIFICATION WILL APPEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH, ONCE WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING OUT OF TOWN & THE CAR LITERALLY STARTED SPUTTERING AND CUT COMPLETELY OFF AT 65 MPH ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION WITH A SEMI. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN & I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT ALL, ESPECIALLY WITH THEM IN THE CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER 2018 & EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS LOW ON GAS, I WOULD RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION & THE LIGHT WOULD APPEAR. HOWEVER AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT 3-4 BARS OF GAS WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION WHATSOEVER.

THE FUEL FILLER TUBE BROKE OFF, WITH MINOR GAS SPILLAGE. SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE THEN TO REFUEL. HAD TO HAVE A $950 REPAIR/REPLACEMENT PART. OBVIOUSLY PROBLEM OCCURRED AT THE PUMP.

DRIVING ALONG AT ABOUT 40 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD ON VACATION OUT WEST WHEN THE VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING. COASTED TO ROADSIDE. UPON TURNING VEHICLE OFF, MADE SOUNDS FOR A WHILE. LET IT REST AND TRIED TO RESTART ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. NO LUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEALERSHIP SAID THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. MILEAGE WAS 64K. THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THE POWER TRAIN SO THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

JEEP HAD 628 MILES ON IT WHEN DRIVING HOME SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 HAD NO POWER MANAGE TO PULL OF THE ROAD SMELLED GAS LOOK AROUND AND FOUND GAS LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE JEEP NEEDED TO HAVE IT TOWED. LEAKED A LOT OF GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER THEY UNLOADED IT. TOLD IT WAS A FUEL FITTING AND NEED SOFTWARE UPDATES. I AM SURE GLAD IT WAS AT NIGHT WITH NO TRAFFIC AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHO NO'S WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPED.

"TAKATA RECALL" AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE FROM A PARKING SPOT AT THE VA, I SMELLED GAS, AND IT STALLED. AFTER STARTING SEVERAL MORE TIME, AND ONLY ABLE TO MAKE IT APPROXIMATELY SEVERAL FEET EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE FINALLY DIED, LEAVING A TRAIL OF GAS, AND A HUGE PUDDLE UNDERNEATH. IT WAS THE FUEL RETURN LINE WHERE THE PLASTIC CONNECTS TO METAL. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS.
