While driving the moving vehicle on 3 occasions my vehicle has stalled out with me driving it, however there is a recall online for the same year, make and model of my vehicle for the same exact problems I am experiencing and I am being told that there are no recalls for my VIN. This is a problem since (let me repeat myself) online a recall for same year, make and model experiencing the exact problems with vehicle stalling and shutting off while driving. This is a serious issue and I keep getting the run around from Jeep corporation not insuring the safety of their vehicles and the people that own them.

Excessive Oil consumption. Refusal of dealer to honor manufacturer service bulletin.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the daughter reported that the failure was abrupt and there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V524000(Electrical System), however the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was unknown.

Just had the engine replaced for the oil consumption done in 2022. They did not replace the motor mounts at that point. But now they are saying those are leaking and my fuel pump has also gone out.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The exact component or system that failed is unknown at this time. Symptoms suggest an issue possibly involving the engine cooling system, idle control, or electrical systems. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle has stalled suddenly in traffic, especially when coming to a stop, putting myself and others at risk of rear-end collisions or blocking lanes unexpectedly. The overheating raises the risk of engine fires or total vehicle shutdown while driving. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The problem has been reproduced once at an independent service center, but the exact cause has not been identified. Therefore, the problem has not been fully diagnosed or confirmed. 4. Has...

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine is consuming excessive amount of oil. Specifically, I had an oil change in December 2024 and now in March 2025 I had to add to add 2 quarts and it's just been 3 months and under 1000 miles since the last oil change. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The low oil cause the car to stall sometimes when in a curve and also displays warning on dash to put car in park and restart engine. This is very dangers as we sometimes get stuck in the middle of the road until the car is restarted. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have taken it to the Jeep dealership about 2 years ago for this issue, but...

Driving on the highway car was starting to loose speed, lights on dash starting to flash I was able to pull off on the side of the road, car stalled and steering wheel locked up. After several minutes it turned on and drove away fine. This is not the first time this has happened. Did oil consumption test several times and stated I’m in the safe zone. This is a severe safety issue but no recalls for my VIN. I saw lots of cars have this same issue with engine stalling.

I just bought a 2018 jeep Renegade 4 month ago Carmax, so far 6 times, the engine. Just shuts off, last time my wife going on the freeway. I'm afraid that someone may get killed. Is they anything you can do to help is there a recall. We bought extended warrenty. Or is the car a lemon

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving on the highway at 55 MPH the vehicle started losing automotive power. The contact attempted to depress the accelerator several times; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact parked the vehicle on the side of the highway and used a diagnostic tool to diagnose the vehicle. The contact retrieved DTC: U1428 and D2171. The vehicle was restarted, and the contact was able to continue driving. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,192.

The automobile will shut off during driving. On three separate occasions while driving the automobile has lost all drivability. The first occasion I was leaving work (01/02/2025) and as I went to accelerate on to the road from a dead stop, the engine shut off. I had to place the car back in park and depress the brake to start the engine again (by depressing the start engine button). The second occasion happened as I was entering the expressway (01/07/2025). I was turning off the main road onto the onramp of the expressway when the engine shut off again. This time I was accelerating up to around 40 mph when the engine shut off. Luckily, I was able to coast to a stop in the emergency lane. The steering locked up due to the engine shut down so I was not able to restart the car until putting it back...

The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and was repaired again under recall however, after returning...

My Jeep has incredibly high oil consumption. I am putting a quart of oil in every two weeks even after an oil change. My car also stalls intermittently, it has even turned completely off on the freeway. The electrical in my car goes in and out and my display for my radio is completely blacked out.

I am pouring a QT of oil in this jeep every other week. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! I have had the oil consumption test done 3 times. Each time the dealer tells me that losing this much oil is within guidlines. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH A VEHICLE. RECALL THIS!!! Ongoing for 2 years now.

I bough this car in February with no knowledge of the prior lawsuit on these cars randomly stalling. The past month- my car has stalled multiple times, in the middle of the road and I lose all control. It is such a safety hazard because people will literally almost hit me. I have to hurry up and turn on the flashers and pull over and restart and try again. There is no warnings for this and once it stalls- the steering wheel locks as well! I thought it was bad gas but after doing all kinds of research , there was 2 previous recalls on this car for the same issue! If it was fixed, why is it still doing this? Now I’m in a contract for this car and can’t afford to take a hit to my credit but it literally scares me to drive it! Check engine light...

Engine is the big problem. When I drive the engine randomly shuts off without any warning. I’ve been on the freeway when it shuts down and I don’t have enough time to get over to safety. And I fear for my life every time it happens. It’s a safety hazard for others around me as well because my car stops without warning and others are going full speed around me. We have taken it do the dealership, service center, auto shops and no one has an answer or solution for us. We took it to the jeep service center and they didn’t know what was going on. Other than that we haven’t taken it to a manufacturer. There were so symptoms or warnings before this was happening.

Since I’ve owned the car. When we go above 70 on highways with cruise control and a/c on the car will randomly turn off and the speedometer will say I am going 0 miles an hour. This has happened 5 times, everytime we go on vacation. And everytime the dealership states they can not mimic the symptoms. So it never gets fixed. Read about a power trans chip that’s faulty. Should be my vehicle included in that problem.

Engine stalled (lost power) while driving on the interstate during rush hour traffic. I had to pull into emergency lane. This happened 3 times within an hour or so. We almost wrecked the car. Very scary and dangerous situation. I checked and there are no recalls with my VIN number. I’m not sure what to do now

Driving car and it decreased in speed and then stalled. Turns out there was no oil in the car but I had just gotten an oil change the next month. Looked up issues online and see many other people have the same issues. Checked the recall but my vin # was not included in the recall but the problem is IDENTICAL.

the turbocharger went out at 75k. had it replaced just after the #2 cylinder went bad. vehicle is unable to get to highway speeds and is very slow to accelerate. it is not due for an oil change for another 5k miles.

The vehicle has stopped running while driving. It turns off and the gas gauge will show E (there is a full tank) and the battery will die- it is brand new and it was tested when this happened. The codes are saying it’s the PCM- it hasn’t ran properly without a jump in months. And it will idol super high, over heat and scare everyone in the car. Had it towed and checked AGAIN. And everything was fine. (Note that the entire engine was replaced the year I got it by my dealership for the recall on the engine going through all oil in less than a month) I know I am not the only person who had had this issue with this specific vehicle. I’m still paying on it!! I have children to Think about. And at 700+$ payment monthly I shouldn’t have this issue. This vehicle has been...

When it is raining, the vehicle shuts down and service warning lights come on. The Service Engine, Service Transmission, Service Hill Assist, Service Parking Break lights come on. The vehicle will start, but won't go into drive and no fuel flows into the engine to give enough power to move. After about 30 minutes, the vehicle might run, but it will shift very hard and the Transmission won't fully engage. After 45 minutes, all the warning lights go off, except for the check engine light, and the car is driveable. This ONLY happens in the rain or after a car wash.

Engine has started to consume large quantities of oil. Had oil changed 1 month ago and have had to add over 2 quarts of oil for less than 1000 miles of driving.

My car shutdowns while running unexpectedly. It has happened more than once while I’m in the middle of the street it’s scary . Also I keep putting oil constantly way before the due date it’s consuming lots of oil .

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle unintendedly lost motive power and stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer and was diagnosed, and it was determined that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

My Jeep renegade is supposed to have an oil change every 3000-5000 miles. I have been having to change its oil around 1500 miles for over a year. The Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership refuses to replace my motor. They have only offered to do an oil consumption test.

Was on a busy highway and without warning, car started driving rough and engine light noted to be flashing. Just made it to side of road before engine lost power. Notified by dealership the next day that there was an internal failure of the engine and a new engine was needed. 88,000 miles and regular maintenance performed at a service station. Defective fuel pump was also replaced at 66,000 miles. Jeep is stating these are normal breakdowns in the 2018 Jeep Renegade. Even though there is known problems with the make, model and year of car.

The check engine light comes on. The code reads P219A. Which means there's an air to fuel ratio off. It sounds like it's gonna stall.

June of 2021 I received an oil consumption recall notice, immediately brought the vehicle into Flagler Chrysler Dodge. Mileage, 20,400. They told me to bring it back in 1000-2000 miles which I did at 22,001 miles, they said it was fine and closed the recall. Shortly thereafter as I was driving my vehicle it would hesitate and by the time I could get it to the dealership within 2 days, I work 2 jobs, it died in the middle of the road. Got it started, brought back to dealership begging them to check the oil explaining the circumstances. The service manager at the time refused to have my oil checked unless I agreed to do an $86.00 oil change. Told him several times I had one with my certified mechanic at 4000 miles prior but still refused, told me I would have to make an appointment and come back to...

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the check engine light had initially appeared on the instrument panel as the dynamic steering torque service, Service ESC system, Service HiIl-Start and the Traction Control warning lights would all appeared on the instrument panel. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, a hissing sound would emit from the brake pedal as the pedal became firm and difficult to depress. In addition, the contact also stated that the steering wheel was loose while both idle and when steered. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was made to have it serviced. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The contact’s sister owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while the vehicle was idling at a stop, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact’s sister was able to restart the vehicle after approximately 5 minutes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where an oil change was performed; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that on a separate occasion while her sister was driving at approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle abruptly jerked and stalled. The contact’s sister was able to restart the vehicle. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact’s sister to bring the vehicle back to the dealer however, the contact’s sister declined to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact then stated that the...

when going in reverse the camera on the screen is either blank with the words at the bottom or have a distorted video. When in idle fans will constantly run when fluids are good, engine will do a rough idle, shut off! but will start back up

This car constantly burns oil the engine shuts off when it is low on oil. I get an oil change and within a week or 2 depending on how much I drive there is no oil. There is no warning of low oil and the car shuts off you have to make a hard turn trying to get on the highway turning out of your driveway it’s very dangerous. Jeep claims the recall was fixed before I bought the car but it constantly does this. There is a class action lawsuit and an extended warranty but only for customers who car is 100,000 miles or less. I bought this car when it had 88,000 miles on it. What about those who are not covered what should we do? This car is dangerous and very expensive. It’s no fair to consumers who pay upwards of 10,000 for a car and stuck...

My car shut down and will not restart in High altitudes. This has been on ongoing issue since I purchased it in 2019. The car will sputter and feel like it has no power, then die. When I go to restart, it will not start. We have almost been hit by traffic several times because of this issue. Seems to only happen in high altitude. We live in the mountains, so we climb elevation quite a bit.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade Latitude. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The engine consumed 2 quarts of engine oil per 750 miles driven. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered, and while coming to a complete stop at a traffic light, the vehicle shut off. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where oil was added to the vehicle; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

After driving this vehicle for 50,000 miles, the car began to stop in the middle of the road, causing a hazard to the driver and the other people driving on the road. Trying to get it started again took some time and the driver was in the way of moving vehicles, but unable to get the car started. When I took it in to the dealership I bought it from, they said the issue was oil consumption and that there was a recall on the motor. I got no notice of this recall and could have been involved in a serious accident because my car continued to stop randomly with no notice of a low oil light coming on or any such warning light.

During the last several months my car has been unexpectedly stalling. It has happened under several circumstances. It happened while driving, sitting at a stop light and even shortly after I started it. I have seen online that this is a widespread problem with this Jeep engine and there are dozens if not hundreds of similar instances posted online about this sudden unexpected stall. No recall has ever been issued and it is an extremely dangerous problem to have your car unexpectedly stop while driving in traffic or worse driving on a busy freeway. My car has had a recall for excessive oil consumption, and this was supposedly fixed by the dealership. The dealership and online complaints seem to tie this problem to these unexpectedly low oil levels being linked to the stalling. The dealership said to watch my oil consumption carefully and to make sure I have regular oil...

I was made aware that my car has a recall alert. It is a W20 recall, the PCM needs reprogrammed. I contacted Krebs Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM and was told the first available appointment is on May 31, 2023. I requested a loaner car that I could use until the recall problem was resolved. I stated my car stalled twice on a major highway and that I was currently pulled over in a parking lot. My request for a loaner car was denied as was my request to be towed the 2.4 miles to Krebs Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM without charge. I was informed that the reason behind these denials was that my car is “drivable.” Driving this car as is puts me and the rest of the drivers on the road in extreme jeopardy, possibly even of a life threatening situation.

Every 2 days I'm adding a cord of oil to my engine. It started off. I would have to add a quart or two in between my oil changes and this thing is running unbelievably bad. Everything's failing on it now. It's leaking oil out of somewhere from the block. The manifolds leaking has been since day one and a thing runs so hot. It's unreal, it doesn't accelerate and then it tries to accelerate by itself. It bucks it decelerates and jumps gears

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The shift indicator warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the shift to park message was displayed. The contact restarted the vehicle, and the failure was self-corrected. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

oil levels keep dropping and need more oil changes then it should. or need to add extra oil in between appts.

It consumes oil fast. I just had an old change 1845 miles ago. My oil light came on check and it ts empty not a drop on the stick. Not the 1at time it's happened. No oil leak. Only 58000 miles

Our vehicle for the 2nd time since we got it has had this same issue. The first issue was withing the first 6 months and thankfully not as severe as the most recent incident which occurred this past Saturday January 21 2023. We were driving on the high way when out of now where the service engine light came on and we lost all power in the middle of the highway, no warnings no nothing. It was me my husband and my kids and we could have been killed. We get our oil changed regularly on schedule have never missed one and the oil was low. This happened like I said prior and the same situation we took it to the dealer, they did a system upgrade so they said and this is the first time we had an issue since. This is not okay and I don't feel safe...

I have a 2018 Jeep Renegade that I purchased about a year ago. I was alerted of a safety recall (W80) via text message by the dealership I bought the car from. The made me aware of an oil consumption problem. Meanwhile, I had been experiencing issues with the car where it would flash a low oil message on the dashboard screen and then stalled in the middle of the road. To allow for time to get the car serviced, I was adding oil to the engine and checking it frequently and adding more oil as needed. This issue began before I was alerted of the recall and I had made an appointment to take the car in for service. I took the car to my closest certified Jeep servicing center. They told me that they would have to do an oil change (at my expense) and that I would...

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. There were no warning lights illuminated. While driving at approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle was stopped but the engine continued running. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who performed an oil change and fuel injection service. The contact was informed to drive the vehicle and bring it back to the dealer. Upon returning to the local dealer, the contact was informed that the vehicle had failed the test and that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,334.

I was coming up to a red light with a car stopped ahead of me and trying to brake but my brakes did not effectively slow my car so I rear ended the car in front of me going about 10mph or 15mph and his car had zero damage but my car would not turn off (push to start was not working) and my engine burst into flames and the whole front of my car burned.

Before the first oil change was due on my vehicle, the engine stalled. I took it to the nearest mechanic shop where I learned that all of the oil had been burned. I later learned that these models are notorious for this issue. My engine has stalled on me more times than I can count. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge the oil consumption problem after their 1500-1700 miles driven "tests". I have requested several times that they check oil levels between 2000-4000 miles driven as that is where the problem lies. They have ignored all requests. After sending emails to CEO's of mother companies and daughter companies, they are finally going to replace the long block on my engine. I have been fighting these issues for many years to no avail. They refuse to provide a loaner vehicle while this is being done. My car has stopped on me while driving....

Vehicle suddenly powers down with no warning lights. This happened in traffic. Upon pulling over, turning off and restarting the vehicle, it was fine. It happened again a half hour later. Dealership could not identify the problem. Car was fine for more than a week, then happened again. It seems to be a common problem per internet search for this model.

I have been experiencing higher then normal oil consumption issues, I am having to add 1-1.5 quarts of oil every 1000 miles, my vehicle has stalled out while driving on multiple occasions, due oil levels being to low, the oil level light never comes on prior to the car stalling, it only comes on after the car has already stalled out.
