“The car engine shuts down unexpectedly while driving. Bought the car from autonation 3 months ago. I noticed the oil low pressure just started to come with the shutdown. This is very dangerous if driving on the highway. This model needs to be recalled because I found hundreds of similar situations online.”
NHTSA complaint #11399900, filed 2021-03, 2 miles“My Jeep stalls out when I'm trying to accelerate while making a left hand turn. This has happened a number of times and causes a dangerous situation. It could potentially cause an accident!”
NHTSA complaint #11166294, filed 2019-01, 10,000 miles“Jeep only has 40,000 miles on it and one day driving home on the interstate, the car killed while driving without warning and almost caused me to crash. The car behind me had to swerve to avoid rear ending me as well. Had it sent to a mechanic and he said that the fuel pump failed. Car is only at 40,000 miles and is only 3 years old. Cost to repair it is $800. I looked up cases and apparently this is a known issue with Jeep Renegade fuel pumps and other years 2017 and up have been recalled but why hasn't mine? …”
NHTSA complaint #11253384, filed 2019-09, 40,000 miles“When driving the car and entering the on ramp to the freeway the car lost the ability to accelerate. It appeared the gas peddle was inactive and the car was in neutral. It notified me with a light electronic stability control then the car suddenly went back into gear. I was concerned but was lead to believe this was part of the design. Suddenly without warning and for no reason at 25k miles the battery suddenly died. All lights came on in the car. It had no power and would not turn on. The dealership said the battery just failed . …”
NHTSA complaint #11364129, filed 2020-10, 25,000 miles“I was on my way to work and stopped at a red light in town on a busy street, when the light turned green I started to accelerate and my vehicle started shaking and started to slow at the same time. I tried to push on the gas pedal but it did nothing. I then noticed on my dash screen it said to shift into park to stop. I was barely able to get over to the side of the road when my vehicle had just stopped. I tried restarting my vehicle after turning my hazard lights on and the engine just kept turning, so I pressed the stop button as the engine would not start. …”
