Problems with 2017 Jeep Renegade FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

On average, the 2017 Jeep Renegade starts to “feel” problems with the FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM and its various aspects after 24 108 miles.

Recently reported FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM problems on 2017 Jeep Renegade

Transmission keeps skipping every 30mph increment. now my car out of nowhere shuts off. it's happened now 3 times in a matter of a week. i will be driving and it doesn't let me accelerate and it asks me to put the car in park and turn it back on. when i try turning it back on it takes 3 times before i can start it back up.

Sputtering, hard starting, bad gas mileage, low or bad acceleration, misfires, just bad running

Loss of power when driving for a few seconds.took it to the shop 3 times the 3 times came back the same.

Vehicle turned off after stopping at a stop sign and then depressing the gas pedal to begin moving again. had to shift vehicle to park and attempt to start several times before it started.

Ever since the beginning of november 2019, my renegade has been stalling when i am in the middle of driving. it started out to be a couple of times but it now does it every time i turn it on and drive. it has stalled on me when i have been in the middle of busy roads and has almost caused accidents. i notice that it will stall if i am turning a corner or if i have just started it up and driving off within the first few minutes. i know there are a lot of complaints by other 2017 renegade owners but i have the deserthawk edition and i haven't seen anything for my model. i take very good care of it and it is only a couple of years old. the stalling problem that i am having seems to only be getting worse.

According to the dealer i must check my oil every 1k miles to check the oil level. this is about the 3rd time my car has stopped in the middle of traffic. when i call the dealer all they say is did you check your oil. the last time this happened was on sun, nov 3, 2019. why are companies allowed to sell products they are fully aware have defects, to turn around and make it the consumers responsibility.

Car loses power while driving . this has happened 5 times withing 48 hours. one incident i was driving 60 mph on highway and the car lost power and i almost got rear ended by a truck. also oil pressure light came on twice for a second while turning corners and then went off. i had my oil changed and is not over miles. i am not sure if these two issues are linked,

The vehicle loses power while driving. slows down as the gas peddle is depressed then abruptly begins to speed back up. the transmission also jerks sometimes while increasing or decreasing speed. while driving on the highway.

While driving on 8/30/19 my vehicle stalled twice and made a weird electrical sound when trying to start again . both times i was stopped at a stop sign on the street getting ready to turn

Vehicle at first was not turning on then the following day on my way to work it stalled in the highway i was pressing the gas but it just wouldn't accelerate. it was extremely dangerous could have cause an accident. just on side note i just bought this car from a used car dealership about 2 months ago

Engine was running and gas pedals was pressed to the floor but the car did not accelerate and the rpm did not increase. pull to the side of the highway and exit; was able to accelerate at low speeds on city streets only. problem was intermittent.

Fuel guage meter showing wrong level. my gas is full even though the digital meter showing 1/2.

Oil pump recall

Fuel pump module: issues addressed by recall remain unresolved. was told by dealer that there was a part available, then had our appointment cancelled because they had run out. driving the car with this issue is dangerous as the car tends to stall when accelerating onto a highway or when making a turn. we have barely avoided accidents on several occasions due to stalling, including one with a semi-truck. engine: hard idle when cold. engine rattles loudly. power train: when car is accelerated to 30 mph range, it "hiccups" or jerks when accelerator is pressed. we have taken the car in for this issue numerous times, but every time we are told that the "computer isn't picking anything up" and problem remains unresolved.

Traveling at 75 mph on highway 25 in new mexico, the began decelerating despite my foot pushing the gas pedal. service engine kight illuminated. vehicle had to be towed to jeep dealership sierra blanca motors in ruidoso nm. luckily i had cell service to contact aaa. fuel pump is being replaced now for the second time in 21,000 miles. dealer told me there is no way to reconfigure it so that won't happen again. im afraid now to drive it. i have to drive to desolate locations with no cell service for my job. i was in motion on a highway when this latest incident occurred. thevfirst incident i was also in motion on a highway near santa fe. fuel pump was replaced then at 5,000 miles on the car.

My car begin sputtering, stalling when i pressed on the gas as if it was not getting enough gas, my indicator lights on the panel of the car would just start to go crazy causing the seatbelt sign to begin to ding and ding and ding, even though i had my seat belt on. i took the car to be looked at and was told that there is a recall on the vehicle that i should look up. i did and there were three recalls involving my vehicle, two of which related directly to the problems i was having. i contacted chrysler who said my vin number was not included in the recall. i asked how that is possible when exactly what i am experiencing is exactly what they listed. she told me to take the car back to the dealership have them check it out and if they determined that this was the problem then they would not to call and tell them that. i immediately contacted the dealer and spoke with service who explained why should they have to contact chrysler when it's not their problem. i said sir, i am only following instructions. he then went on to explain to me that well they could look at the car but it would cost me $230 to do a diagnostic. i asked why i would have to for that and he said "he has to pay his people". i made an appoint and took the car. when they called they worded everything in a manner that would remove me from the recall, however they then put "fuel injection" at the bottom. i inquired about this and was told that i am supposed to get my fuel injection cleaned 2 per year. i informed them i never heard of such a thing. he also told me it would close to $500 to get my seatbelf fixed "that is not even broken" and never did anything about the indicator lights. i was told that they needed to put my car "back together" which i also did not understand because i thought a diagnostic did not require that. now my engine light is also on and nobody will return my calls.

I took the vechicle for the recall for a replacement on the fuel pump module and i was told they didn't have it and that i would get a call for the replacement. i still have not received a call and now i cannot renew my vehicle registration. i have called them multiple times and i just get the run around. i am now going to ha e to pay late fees and i my tags will be expired. this vehicle is my principal car for transportation to get to work. who is going to be responsible for this now.

My jeep stalls and has trouble starting dies alot wont keep up to speed jerks back up camera glitches alot i was driving to my kids school and on the freeway driving places.

I have noticed that when i have to take hard turns with my jeep renegade 2017 4 wheel drive sport edition that my low oil pressure light will come on and the engine will either stall or flutter like it's going to stall. this can be dangerous if it stalls while i am making a turn in traffic

Whille driving the vehicle on a city street and making a right turn and descending a small hill the vehicle "service engine light" illuminates, chimes and the vehicle transmission locks into a random gear (typically 3 or 5th gear) and remains in this gear. it happens over half of the time and results in a very unsafe driving condition as the vehicle is unable to accelerate properly or maintain adequate speed depending on the gear in which it is stuck. the vehicle has to dodge traffic and pull over in a safe place where the vehicle can be shut off and restarted, which in most cases will reset the transmission and allow it to function closer to normal. fca in conjunction with the dealer have been attempting to remedy this extremely dangerous situation for 6 months. they have replaced the transmission control module, the transmission, the evap canister and the fuel pump. fca and the dealer are stating this is "normal" function and that the turn or the hill must be extreme operation. this is happening at a slow speed turn of 10-15 mph. i have video recordings which have been shared with fca and the dealer and i would gladly share with nhtsa. as a former vp at a tier one automotive supplier, i can assure you this is not extreme operation and is a significant safety issue which the manufacturer is unwilling to rectify. if the manufacturer is unable to identify the root cause of what could potentially be a software related safety defect it could result in additional jeep renegades operating unsafely on public roadways. please advise where i can send all the video evidence.

When vehicle is stationary idle engine jerks. when vehicle is moving and accelerating the jerking is persistent.

In motion upon decel/accel at a stop sign and then to proceed, the engine dies. you have to put car in park and re-crank, then try to proceed. no low oil indicator lights came on for any warning that my engine was low on oil or that my engine would do an automatic shutdown to save the engine. i was 2000 miles over my recommended oil change (i own this mistake) and was told the oil was found to low and that this particular engine was made to shut down to save it from burning up. however, no warnings, no indicator lights, just a shutoff of the power to vehicle upon slowing to stop and/or re-accelerate. trouble to think i would get in an accident because i did not know my oil was too low and should be looked at. so, major deal.... i had the oil changed and the dealer told me it was the type of 2.4 lt engine that was using in this particular jeep model. i get that, but no indicator light is troublesome. took it on monday the 11th to jeep dealer in cartersville, ga.

Concerned about jeep's inability to address this problem. have safety concerns when pulling trailer . jeep recommended using e85 fuel which is not available in my area. vehicle unable to perform as represented.

The vehicle has shut off on 3 different occasions while driving in the city. the vehicle engine stops and the car has to be guided off the street if safe. at least once the vehicle stopped while driving and had to be shut off and then restarted. this has happened three times, twice before the recall. it was taken to the dealership and they diagnosed a "software" problem. it has happened again since finding out about the recall after the original "fix". the vehicle is at the dealership currently but there is no recall part yet for this problem.

It feels like my car is running out of gas while idling and when apply gas, i have a half a tank of gas.

About a week ago my jeep renegade started stalling in the middle of driving on the road, it also struggles a little to start back up after said stalling. i am very concerned about this safety issue since i have a 4 year old child and she was present in the vehicle on two occasions when the stalling happen. it is absolutely a hazard to be on the road with this type of problem..life threatening!

Car suddenly accelerates or decelerates in all driving conditions. city and highway driving situations

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. the contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 18v731000 (fuel system, gasoline). the contact stated that the manufacturer failed to provide the part to receive an appointment from an authorized dealer within a reasonable time frame. the contact stated that there was a loss of fuel pressure, the vehicle failed to accelerate, and the vehicle jerked abnormally when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the vehicle would not exceed 40 mph. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the dealer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 16,000. vin tool confirms parts not available. *tt consumer stated accelerating car started lunging forward and loses power. vehicle has problems shifting and catching speed. *jb

I have a 2017 jeep renegade. there is a massive recall on them due to the car shutting off due to fuel pump and oil sensor issues. i have had the vehicle shut off on me in intersections and on the highway and is very unsafe to drive. i contacted chrystler and they said that they are not fixing this recall until after the 1st quarter is over due to part and funding issues. they refuse to help me with this issue. i cannot drive this vehicle due to unsafe conditions.

I purchased my car back in may of 2018 and have noticed inconsistencies with my fuel consumption as well as a strange kicking feeling when driving at times. i received a notice in the mail in december shortly after going in for some maintenance which detailed the underlying issue. it said that the current fuel pump module on this car is prone to cavitation and that the spontaneous loss of fuel may result in a "sudden loss of motive power, which may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning." i called the number provided on the notice and was again informed that there are no parts available currently to remedy this issue. the call center rep also indicated that the issue was made public in october. when i asked if there was any timeframe for how long it might take for the needed part to materialize, i was told that there was "none at this time." i am very disappointed that the manufacturer would produce cars with such a glaring problem then not offer any specific remedies or solutions for the people driving them. they recognize the part has to be replaced but this is obviously not a priority for them as they have not provided a solution for months now. the only solution i have been offered was to be reimbursed for select damage to the vehicle that may occur after the fact. i believe that is blatant irresponsibility on the part of the manufacturer and would like this part made available as soon as possible as i am now in a position that i can no longer reliably travel in the vehicle i'm continuing to pay for. i hope you will see my complaint and respond at your earliest convenience. i realize i'm just an average consumer but i feel like manufacturers have to be held liable for incidents along these lines. i can't help but feel like i'm driving a ticking time bomb with no evidence to the contrary.

Fuel pump recall: may cause car to stall and result in a crash. every time i turn my car on, it is overly loud and when i'm driving you can hear guzzlingn noises. no inspection was offered on my car. my car was bought at a jeep dealership 2 days prior to this recall which was over 2 months ago. reached out to the fca and they got me in contact with dealerships who did not have the parts readily available and could not give me an eta. i insisted that i have two small children and i did not feel comfortable driving around a vehicle that could at any time cause a crash because of a defected part. i was told it was a one in a million chance that this could happen, which obviously is not the case if a recall was issued. i was told i would receive a call back from the dealership on monday and had to call back two days later because i had not heard back. i made an appointment to go in, and when i went in the sales manager told me that the fca hadn't released the part for a recall that's over two months old and their hands were tied until the part comes in. i was told that if i traded in the car i was looking at a huge negative equity i would be paying for a car i had, again, bought two months prior. i was not advised on the buy back option, but just told i would have to take my chances until the part came in.

All maintenance done to vehicle at recommended/required timeframes. after my 2nd oil change while driving the car stalled with no indicators on dash on a main road with a speed limit of 45mph, car did not re-start until 2nd or 3rd attempt. this was the 1st time this had happened. about 1 week later while driving downhill turning onto a flat road the car stalled again starting back up on the first try. while driving the same day the car stalled 2 more times. at no point were any indicators lit showing any problem. i brought the vehicle to a jeep dealership and explained the problem, after explaining the time it stalled going down hill he checked the oil and found it empty. the manual states changing the oil when the warning light is lit, once a year or 10,000 miles. i have had the oil changed by professionals in our before 5,000 miles. at the time i brought the vehicle to the dealership and discovered it had no oil i was still under the 5,000 mile range to have the oil replaced. the technician informed me that the oil had probably burned up and changed the oil and filter. months later when pulling out onto a main road the vehicle again stalked with no warning lights on the dash, thankfully the car started on the first attempt as a tractor trailer was coming up behind me. i immediately brought the car back to the jeep dealer and was informed it would be a few hours add i had not scheduled an appointment. after explaining my issue the technician checked my oil finding it empty, about 4,000 miles since last oil change, and stated he would top it off for free to speed up the process. he stated this was a recently discovered issue but nothing yet was being done to fix the issue. i see a recall has been put out and checked my vin which came back as not recalled but i believe my car may have the recall or something else possibly wrong.

My renegade has started loosing fuel pressure making it jerk really hard while driving it's between the 3rd and 4th gear change it feels like the transmission is slipping there is no way in this new of a vehicle it should be doing this it's not in certain climates its in any climate i really love my renegade but this has been disappointing please hurry up and fix this issue

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. while driving various speeds, the engine idled roughly and randomly shut off on two separate occasions. the vehicle was taken to step one automotive (8701 abercorn st, savannah, ga) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump module was faulty. the module was replaced, but the failures continued. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 18v731000 (fuel system), but the parts were not available. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 20,000. vin tool confirms parts not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. the contact stated that nhtsa campaign number: 18v731000 (fuel system) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair. the contact received the recall notification in december of 2018. hill-kelly dodge chrysler jeep ram (6171 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505) stated that the parts were not available. the manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available. the contact had not experienced a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available.

My car has stalled two days in a row at the same spot. in the morning it reflects that i have low oil pressure but then the warning goes away immediately. after work, i was able to drive for a 0.5 miles before it stalled after the same turn. i took it to the dealership and they couldn't do anything because my warning lights aren't going off. they topped my car off with oil even though i just got an oil change 2 months ago. this has never happened before and am regretting my decision of getting a jeep.

Car was running fine until we stopped to get a little more gas at a circle k gas station. we had about a 4th of a tank left and added $10 of 87yr gas in and immediately after we got back on to the road the engine started bucking and lurching like it was trying to die on us. it did that the whole way driving home for 2 more hrs. then the next day (today) it was doing the same thing but now the check engine light came on. we have a pretty good snow storm that hit us today and we wanted to switch the 4wd to snow but the lock light won't come on and it doesn't let you change to snow mode anymore. my husband thought maybe we just got some bad gas and decided to put a bottle of heet in the gas tank to see if it remove any water in the tank but it is still acting just as bad and the check engine light is still on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 jeep renegade. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 18v731000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated the local dealer (roseville automall located at 700 automall dr, roseville, ca 95661, (916) 782-5999) had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure.

My car has a recall on it and chyster no longer have the part nor know when they can get it i worryed about my safety and feel if they can't replace it i ethier need another car or they just take this one back the car don't last on gas it's running different and i feel any longer this recall might effect something else

My vehicle stalled while in motion multiple times.. shortly after starting my vehicle and driving down the street or out of a parking lot. the vehicle would stall and the dash would tell me to place vehicle in park but the break pedal would lock up not allowing me to switch from drive to park. each time for no more than 5 mins before finally allowing me to switch gears and restart the vehicle and continue driving.

While driving 80 mph on the interstate the car suddenly stalled. the fuel was over half full and oil was with normal ranges (checked before trip). this is the 5 such instance of this happening between accelerating from a stop lightroom driving on the highway. the first couples times dealership tried to say it was the viscosity of the oil caused it to be lower than the car read it to be. an oil change was done. nothing else. this time the dealership is going to replace the fuel pump.

Takata recall my 2017 jeep renegade seems to do this jerk / stalling thing while driving. especially when the fuel level starts to get low. while running my car has this loud noise coming from the engine. i remember seeing smoke come from the engine and i only had the car for a year if that.

On the highway when transmission wouldn't engage and the jeep started shaking. came to a stop, shifted to manual and it needed high rpm's to get it moving. it finally got moving and had to use manual get it off the highway. was at the dealer a few months earlier dealing with the transmission not engaging. dealer said it was a software issue. dealer now says it's not transmission but engine problems. thankful to be alive.

Takata recall. was driving at 75 mph on cruise control when my jeep slammed on the breaks. it then proceeded to have surges. no lights came on. it completely shut off but was still on. a error came on stating to service transmission. took to a dealership that said it was needing an update with the computer. went 340 more miles the next day and it done the exact same thing. lost all power steering. no warning lights came on. got towed and they told me no codes came up while plugged into the computer. was then told it was the fuel pump and would be a two week wait. was told it's been a very common thing with the 2017 renegades so they're back ordered. i was also told that the dealership the day before bypassed something to send me on my way. called chrysler and they aren't helping at all. and i'm still 480 miles from my home. there should definitely be a recall on them. it will end up getting someone killed.

I'm concerned about recall number 18v-731. the letter we received said a solution would be available by the end of q4 2018. i called our dealership today and confirmed there is no solution yet. this is an extremely dangerous issue. cavitation from a bad fuel pump really doesn't describe what it's like to have your engine stall out on you at interstate speeds in heavy traffic while going uphill. twice. a third time it occurred on a simple city street. we were almost involved in a serious accident the first time it happened. no warning, no check-engine light, no sputtering or less-responsive engine - nothing. just stalled out. the issue is likely to occur in hot summer time and driving up hills. we live in hilly tucson, arizona where it will hit 90deg tomorrow. this is unacceptable and i believe the manufacturer claiming its just a faulty fuel pump is bogus. if it was that simple, why is there no new fuel pump available? why are the fuel pumps on new inventory okay, but they can't produce one good enough to satisfy this recall? after experiencing the issue several times, i think the problem lies in the software, or how the sensor reads the fuel pressure or engine temps. the car didn't heave or sputter before the issue arose - the engine just cut out. i've driven old cars with poor fuel pumps before and they let you know before they die. and they don't come magically back to life once you pull off the road and turn the car off and immediately back on again. software does that - not mechanical failures. i refuse to put my family at risk again this summer, and summer comes fast in southern arizona. please help me look out for my little family. we don't have the money to trade our defective jeep in for another vehicle, and really need this car to work. this is a dangerous issue that i feel is not being properly respected by the manufacturer. thank you -

Car was in motion on a city street heading straight when it came to a complete stop. various messages have been displayed the most previous times saying "to shift vehicle must be stopped" i wasn't trying to shift? no codes ever being shown are the same. all issues cause the car to completely stop. this is extremely dangerous on the roads ofcourse. it's already had an update to the system the dealership said was needed. now back to doing the same thing so it's currently at the dealership again. just hit 20k miles. all oil changes have been made on time as the jeep has all warranties the chysler dodge jeep dealership offered. can contact dealership for more detail. this has been ongoing since january 2018
