2018 Jeep Renegade FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Car died due to being out of fuel but gauge still read 1/4 tank. Mechanic said fuel float failure.

Truck sputter to start or does not start at all. When I put fuel in my car it doesn't start for two days. Mechanic believes it's fuel system but couldn't be sure since there weren't any codes throwing from his diagnostic machine

• The fuel pump failed. Yes it's available for inspection • I was driving on a very busy road going about 55mph and the car stalled. I was able to coast to the shoulder of the road to avoid being rear-ended. This put my life at risk along with the other drivers if I was not able to safely get to the side of the road. • I am not able to reproduce the issue as my vehicle will not start after the incident. It has not been confirmed yet by another party as it just happened this morning. • It has not been inspected yet. • There were not warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the vehicle dying. I was driving this morning (6/4/2024), going up a slight incline going about 55mph and the fuel pump stopped working and my engine cut off off in the middle of traffic.

We were driving on the [XXX] 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. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

Electronic Throttle Control light causing the vehicle to lose power There was a recall for this model and make for the same issue

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.

When applying brake fuel pump continues to race motor

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

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.

I I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND AT FIRST WHEN IT HIT ONE LINE OF GAS WITH NO LIGHT ON IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AND NOT RESTART UNTIL I ADDED MORE GAS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING CAUSE THERE WAS NOT CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. SO I WAS SENT HOME. IT HAS HAPPEN NOW AT LEAST FOUR MORE TIMES SINCE. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS LAST WEEK AND THIS TIME I HAD TWO LINES OF GAS IN THE CAR. I HAD IT IN FOR EXPECTATION TODAY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AGAIN. THE PRECEDED TO TELL ME THE SAME THING. TAKE IT HOME BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I SHOULD CALL A TOW TRUCK NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. BUT THE CAR SHUTS OFF ANYTIME. THE LAST TIME IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY WITH A TWO YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT. THE CAR IS ACTING LIKE IT RAN OUT OF GAS BUT IT IS GETTING WORST AND IS PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER AND CAN'T GET JELP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WRONG.

UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE FOR ACCELERATION, MY CAR HESITATES AND JERKS WHEN I NEED TO INCREASE MY SPEED QUICKLY, BUT AS SOON AS I LET OFF OF THE GAS IT IMMEDIATELY STOPS. IT DOES THIS IN ANY GEAR UPON SHIFTING IF I AM IN NEED TO QUICKLY INCREASE MY SPEED. FOR INSTANCE WHEN I NEED TO GET ON TO AN INTERSTATE (WHICH I DRIVE EVERYDAY) I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE TRAFFIC TO BE CLEAR BEFORE I CAN GET ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE IT WONT GO QUICK ENOUGH WITH TRAFFIC TO MERGE. IF I AM OUT FOR AN EASY DRIVE IT DRIVES JUST FINE. (JUST LIKE THE RECALL FOR THE OTHER RENEGADE LISTED. THIS HAS NOT FIXED ITSELF. IT IS STILL CONSTANTLY DOING THIS.

WHEN FUELING, THE PUMP CONTINUOUSLY CLICKS OFF. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE POSITIONS AND MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IN OCT 2018, HAD A SENSOR REPLACED. IT DINT WORK. DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, I WASN'T ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK IN UNTIL NOW (2/26/20). THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND I'M STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK.

THE JEEP STALLS WHILE DRIVING. A COUPLE TIMES IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND 70 MPH. MOST RECENTLY IT HAPPENED ON A SMALLER ROAD GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. IT JUST SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. WHEN YOU TRY TO CRANK IT AFTERWARDS IT STUTTERS BUT EVENTUALLY CRANKS THEN A FEW MINUTES AFTER DRIVING IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN.

BRAND NEW JEEP RENEGADE 2018 PURCHASED JAN. AFTER ONE APPROX. 2MOS. TECH IN CAR NOT WORKING AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR A WEEK. BROUGHT TO HARR IN WORC. COULD NOT FIGURE OUT. REPORTED TO CUSTOMER CARE FOR A CASE NUMBER. RADIO THEN BLACKED OUT/THEN THE SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRED. THE CAR STALLED OUT IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC GOING APPROX. 40 TO 50 WITH MY KIDS IN CAR. SAME DAY CONTACTED JEEP CUST. CARE WHO WERE TO MAKE ME AND APPOINTMENT WITH RENTAL IN MILLBURY. NO RENTAL WAS EVER BOOKED. LOST WORK TIME. MILLBURY TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOWN OIL ISSUE AND WHEN LOW THE CAR WILL STALL TO PROTECT THE ENGINE NOT THE PASSENGERS. THEY TOLD US THERE IS NO RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT NOBODY HAS DIED OR BEEN HURT YET. N I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM STATION JEEP/MANSFIELD, THE STICKER SAID DEC. 6TH/9000 MILES. WHEN I LAST WENT TO THEM FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, THEY PUT ANOTHER STICKER ON UNDER IT WITH SAME DATE DEC 6TH BUT AT 5000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE GIRL AT THE SERVICE DESK AND LIONEL THAT I AM TO HAVE IT CHECKED NOW AFTER 500 MILES. THEY BOTH EXPLAINED THIS OIL ISSUE TO ME IN DETAIL STATING THAT THE CAR BURNS FAST AND IS KNOWN TO STALL. THERE ARE MANY MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON LINE. NO WARNING SIGNS FOR OIL HAVE EVER COME ON MY DASHBOARD. I AM IN CONTACT WITH FIAT CHRYSLER IN MICHIGAN WHO HAVE NOT DONE A THING BUT TO OFFER WARRANTY AND A NUMBER IN CASE MY CAR STALLS AGAIN. I AM MOST RECENTLY HAVING A FEW OTHER TECH ISSUES...WHICH I WAS TOLD IS RELATED TO THE OIL BEING LOW. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE WE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE.*DT CONSUMER CONTACTED FIAT CHRYSLER.*JB

VEHICLE WITH ~2000 MILES ON IT STALLED OUT (ENGINE TURNED OFF) MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. SOON AS I COULD GET TO A SAFE LOCATION AND PUT IN PARK IT STALLED AGAIN. HAS A FULL TANK OF GAS AND NO OTHER SYMPTOMS. HAD BEEN RUNNING WITHOUT ISSUE EARLIER IN THE DAY.

8 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, WITH AROUND 250 MILES ON IT THE CAR STALLED IN A THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MPH. IT STOPPED ACCELERATING, STARTED SHAKING, AND THEN THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED IT BACK ON, AS SOON AS I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE IT DIED AGAIN. IT DIED 5 TIMES TRYING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND WHEN I MENTIONED THE OPEN RECALL THEY STATED MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF IT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD COMING TO A STOP LIGHT, GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. IT STOPPED ACCELERATING, STARTED SHAKING, AND THEN THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AGAIN NOTHING. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40-50 MPH, IT STOPPED ACCELERATING, STARTED SHAKING, AND THEN THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY. THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, STILL SAID IT WASN'T THE RECALL THOUGH. IT HASN'T HAPPENED IN THE 1500 MILES SINCE THEY REPLACED IT.

MY VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT WHILE IN MOTION WHEN TURNING ONTO A CITY STREET ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WILL STILL BE ON, BUT PRESSING ON THE GAS DOES NOTHING. THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I AM WORRIED IT MAY BE A FUEL PUMP AS I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018.

ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CAN ONLY BE RESTARTED AFTER COMING TO COMPLETE STOP, SETTING SHIFT TO "PARK". TURNING SHARP CORNERS CAUSES "LOW OIL PRESSURE" WARNING.

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN I'M DRIVING AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT'S A NEW VEHICLE. IT ALSO TEMPORARILY STALLS WHILE SLOWING DOWN, TURNING AND COMPLETELY SHUTS OFFS WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. THE DEALER SAYS MY VIN HAS NO RECALLS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I LOST POWER AND COULD NOT GET GAS TO THE ENGINE. WAS GOING UP A HILL WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND HAD LITTLE POWER. HAD THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 11 MILES AN HOUR. THE ENGINE WAS NOT GETTING ANY GAS. I WAS AFRAID OF PULLING OVER ON A HILL BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GET MOVING BACK UP THE HILL AFTER STOPPING.
