2018 Jeep Renegade Fuel system Problems

“When operating the vehicle, especially on turns, the car will cut out and not accelerate when they accelerator is pushed down. It'll leave a lag and then suddenly engage and take off quickly. It's like a studder but has left me trying to turn across traffic and sit in the same spot, paused and not able to move with oncoming traffic headed for me.”

“Car frequently states oil pressure low despite constant oil changes. Car idles when turning a corner and completely shuts off. Dashboard flashes messages that vehicle must be in park , steering wheel locks up and tells me to push the brake and start button ... I had to do this three times. Very dangerous! Car shut off in 5 p.m. Orlando traffic! Has happened three times in two months.”

“Driving with my child in the vehicle and the car engine cutoff. Luckily I was not in traffic and was able to get the vehicle stopped. Message in dash was something about needing to shift to park. Placed vehicle in park, engine restarted and sputtered for a moment, then continued as normal. Only happened once. Dealership said it was likely due to low oil level (approximately 2500 miles since oil change).”

“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.”

“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.”
