Problems with 2018 Jeep Renegade ENGINE

On average, the 2018 Jeep Renegade starts to “feel” problems with the ENGINE and its various aspects after 11 972 miles.

Recently reported ENGINE problems on 2018 Jeep Renegade

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.

Incident 1 2/11/20 5pm i had left my office after work and was pulling into a turn lane at an intersection on a city street; car stalled in drive. i put it into park, put my foot on the brake and pushed the start button; and it started. no issues on the 20 miles home. incident 2 2/13/20 7am i had just left my house and had turned left to exit my neighborhood when the card stalled in drive. i put it park and pushed the start button, nothing happened. i took my foot off of the brake and then reapplied my foot to the brake and pushed the button. sounded like the card was trying to start. waited a few more seconds and tried it again, it started. no issues on the 20 miles to work.

Car powers off when driving. it has happened 3 times this week. it shuts off so you can't give it any gas and says on the screen 'place vehicle in p and hit the start button' this happened 3 times this morning and the dealer said it might be oil consumption and i'm now doing a test for that which they said they might have to replace the engine.

The vehicle burns oil causing the vehicle to shutdown without warning. we have the vehicle services regularly, but it burns so much oil we're having issues before it's due for routine oil change. my son was about 30 miles away from home when his vehicle stalled without warning. he also mentioned that at times it would sputter during acceleration. we purchased this vehicle new and currently it has 29,000 miles. we had the vehicle towed under warranty to the dealership and they kept it for over a week before they were able to look at it. i inquired about getting a loaner vehicle since we were down a vehicle and the dealer said all their loaners were out and they will only allow us to have the loaner for 5 days total. so, they said they would contact us when they had a loaner available. we never heard back from them, so my husband called them back 8 days later to inquire about a loaner again, and at that time they said the vehicle was ready; all it needed was oil. so, when we went to pick-up the vehicle they're charging us $189 and this vehicle is still on warranty. the warranty on the jeep is fraudulent and the dealerships are devious.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep renegade. the contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the vehicle lost motive power. an unknown warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to the miracle chrysler dodge jeep dealer (615-206-4869, located at 1290 nashville pike, gallatin, tn 37066) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was almost out of oil. the vehicle was kept at the dealer's for about a week and no other failure was diagnosed. the technician performed an oil consumption test. the contact was concerned that the issue was not resolved. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

While letting off the gas to slow down to either a stop or around a curve; the car idles all the way down and dies, the dashboard flashes a message saying 'vehicle must be in park to switch gears'. when i place the vehicle in park it then tells me to push the brake and the start button; when i do the car 'whines' and acts like it's having a hard time starting back up; when it does finally turn over it idles high until i put the car in gear making it jump.

Vehicle stalls while in motion with no warning. happened at least 4 times within the last month.

Had an oil change around 2 months before the issue occured. when pulling out of my drive way the jeep stopped and shut off. upon inspection i was low on oil. after adding 3 quarts of oil i found where other people online had similar issues with specifically the 2018 jeep renegade 2.4 liter motor consuming copious amounts of oil. others had they're renegades stop while driving down the highway but lucky i was lucky enough to be in my driveway. i have always had an oil change on time and through jeep as well. i also don't understand how they passed and emissions test while the motor burns that much oil.

Twice now car has just stalled/shut off without warning. engine light at that time suddenly shows "low engine oil pressure". taken to dealer twice and oil level low-->oil change done and problem resolved for ~ 3k miles. first time happened around 4-5k miles after oil change, 2nd time happened around 4k after oil change. oil consumption test at 1k after last oil change shows engine is burning at least 1/2 quart of oil. dealership states jeep is stating this is within normal and that i should get oil changed/topped off every 3k miles. this is dangerous and unacceptable that oil consumption is so high that my engine randomly stalls because of low engine oil.

Car is excessively burning oil. it randomly shuts off going down the road. it has almost caused accidents.

Twice in the last week, my 2018 jeep renegade with around 17,500 miles has stalled after moderately hard braking. in both cases the vehicle had a difficult time restarting. in the last case, the stalling occurred during busy rush hour city traffic and we sat for about minute with traffic passing us while we attempted to restart the vehicle. my girlfriend, a new driver, was driving during this instance and i am concerned for our safety now. *dt*jb

Car stalled in traffic with no prior warnings. the car would not start back up.

The vehicle loses fuel pressure and burns oil when there is no present oil leak. the vehicle shuts off while in drive causing the wheel to lock.

Vehicle purchased brand new was making left, low oil light came on, and vehicle wanted to stall. i called in to dealer to discuss since i was already bringing it in for a passive entry light on dash warning light. they said bring it in right away. my next oil change was over 1000 miles away from being due & they said it was down 2 quarts. i drove 250 miles until my next appointment for the other repair problem 2 weeks later and there was less than 1/2 notch left of oil on the dipstick. the engine was given a fresh oil change and now must be checked every 500 miles to determine if it's an engine consumption case. my other 2 oil changes were free to use within 1 year so in order to not loose them my oil changes were performed well before they were due.

My jeep renagade has 2950 miles and had no oil i had to put oil it it to get it to the garage to is what was going on, so they decided to do a change and i have to drive it another 700 miles and take it back to them to see if it's used any oil, i've never before had a new vehicle that ran out of oil or that i had to add oil to before the first change, i very unsatisfied with the way things are being handled

My renegade first gave me 'issues' before the first oil change due date. just 2 months after purchasing the vehicle brand new, it shut down while driving back from my beach vacation. i was driving 70 mph on interstate 65 and it just completely shut off. i had to coast from the flow of traffic onto the side of the interstate. my 8 year old son was also with me during this first of several dangerous encounters. it took me about 6 or 7 attempts at restarting my car and getting back in traffic before i finally made it safely home that day. each of those attempts first resulted in the car shutting off and me coasting to the side of the interstate to avoid an accident. every time my car is close to an oil change, within about 300-500 miles, it experiences the above scenario. it has taken several months to finally find the pattern and realize the problem. the problem is that the engine is burning an excessive amount of oil, running the car low on oil, and then the safety feature shuts off the car completely. this happens without any type of warning; no lights or any type of signal. this summer, i had to complete an oil consumption test on my vehicle. this consisted of me driving to the dealership every 1,000 miles for them to check my oil, chart how much it used, and fill it back up with oil. the distance from my house to the dealership is 35 miles; quickest route being a 46 minute drive. i had to repeat this process 5 total times. at the end of the 5,000 miles i was told by my service technician (allan) that i missed the cut off for receiving a new engine by about quart of oil. he also expressed that his personal opinion may be different, but that the standard/guidelines was what he had to go by for diagnosing the results.

Was driving my car started to sputter and it is stalling out when i come to a stop. also shaking and making noise when i drive it.

At 19700 miles i was driving home (50 miles) in the middle of a busy road my engine stalled and then completely stopped in the middle of the road. causing the vehicle behind me to slam on their brakes to avoid from hitting me. i was not far from home and was able to get it to start up after putting it in park. i went less then 3 miles and the engine stalled again in the middle of a busy highway. right before it stalled the drive light flashed a few times before cutting off. i put it in park put my hazard lights on and was able to get it started again and safely parked it. took it to the dealer who had wonderful service department but i was a little upset when told it was probably a fluke. that there was nothing they could do after they could not get the vehicle to duplicate what it had previously done. i know this is probably standard but i'm sincerely concerned for my safety and what i can do if this happens again without the dealer being able to duplicate it. *tr

I was making a right onto a road and i lost all power to the drive train and had to make a sudden right turn into a subdivision that was to my immediate right. i could still steer; which was how i pulled myself off the road into the subdivision immediately after making the turn onto the road. i checked the oil level when i came to a stop inside the subdivision. it read that the oil level was slightly above the recommended level on the dipstick. i was on my way to have the oil change done. the car was due for an oil change at the time. i was taking it in for the oil change 100 miles before the due date. a week earlier and the day before the car displayed a low oil pressure indicator on the display. those were the first times in my life i've seen that message. i contacted the parts department of the troncalli jeep dodge dealership i had bought the vehicle from later that day. i asked why the engine stopped and the man i spoke to said probably had something to do with how the engine was made. in which the engine could stall if the oil level is half a quart over or under the minimum or maximum level. that was the 1st instance of my vehicle stalling.

Car stalls when driving or coming to a stop. no 'check-engine' or 'check-oil' light or any other indication engine stall or failure. told by dealer that this will occur when the oil is low. stated this has been seen more often with this model and engine and that the engine is burning more oil than it should be.

One month ago my car stalled as i accelerated to no one into traffic. the engine light was on and i was directed to put the car in park, put on the brake and restart. on 8/25/19 the car stalled as i waited for the light to change.

Takata recall i was driving home and low oil pressure light came on then went out so when i got home i checked the oil it was empty no oil on dipstick then checked again then it showed full of oil did this 3 times doesnt leak and doesn't smell like its burning or losing power

Jeep renegade 2018, at 12 thousand plus miles, just started using oil. i brought this jeep brand new, took it in for the regular scheduled oil changes, then all of sudden the oil pressure light came on the jeep just shut off. i waited a second or so and it started back up. i went back home my husband checked the oil and it was empty. we add a 4 plus quarts of the correct oil. i called the dealership, for an appointment. it took 4 plus days to get an appointment. before my appointment the oil light came on again. we check the oil and again it barely got any in it. we add just enough to get to the appointment. now they say i have to drive it 1000 miles for a compression test. they know it's the motor!. i don't understand why i have to be put at risk of breaking down to prove there is something wrong. with all the technology the new cars have why can't they see the issue's on the computer?

Purchased vehicle in march, went to have first oil change done and there was a problem with the oil consumption. the dealership had me come in every 1000 miles and after the 3rd time the dealership said the problem wasn't getting better and they would need to replace my engine. so at 3000 miles i had to get my engine replacement. the day i picked my vehicle up from the service shop while driving doing 40 mph the car seized up on me and i had to make my way to safety and restart the vehicle. i informed my case manager and was told if it happened again take it into the shop. month later on my way home with the kids in the jeep doing 50 mph the vehicle seized up again and i had to pull off to safety and restart the vehicle. i took the jeep in to the dealership that same day. 4 days later the dealership said they fixed it and i could come pick it. on sunday, july 21st i was heading out of town on the highway doing 70 mph and the vehicle seized up on me. went from 70 mph to 44 mph which almost caused an accident. there was 7 lanes of traffic and construction going on which made it hard to get off to the side. after that it took me 15 minutes to get back on the hwy and work my way across 7 lines of traffic. once i made it to the right lane i heard a thump and my vehicle would not excel faster than 30 mph. i finally made it off the hwy and while sitting at the light the vehicle seized up again and i had to restart it 3 times to make it through the light.

Eninge between 2 oil changes has used 9 quarts of oil, has a high consumption of oil. has 9300 miles, this second time i've noticed the engine completely out of oil was 4000 miles after oil change.

I purchased a 2018 jeep renegade at the end of july 2018, it had worked well until the end of june 2019. i was on a road trip from south carolina to colorado and i was on the road for a week with no issues, but on june 28th as i was driving on i-70 through kansas at about 80 mph when my engine began to stall out. at first it was dropping about 10 - 15 mph, but then it was quickly dropping 30 - 40 mph. i was able to make it into the right most lane, but a check engine light and service transmission light appeared on my dashboard while my engine stalled out completely. i had to restart my car a few times, but after a few restarts the notifications disappeared. every time the engine stalled out, i would lose the use of my gas and brake pedals. the electronics were still working, but driving was non-responsive. i was able to safely nurse my car into the nearest city and eventually get towed to the nearest jeep dealership. the dealership was able to look at the jeep the next day (june 29th) and did some computer diagnostics and told me that the jeep was good to go. i made it about 180 miles and had just gotten back onto i-70 in colorado when the issue returned. engine stalled out, dropped speed to zero mph and pedals became unresponsive. i had to wait several hours to be towed to aurora, co to a jeep dealership (larry h miller jeep). my jeep was with larry h miller from june 29th to july 3rd. they told me that they drove it several hundred miles, despite my odometer not matching their information, and told me that there was no issue with my jeep. i made it 10 miles from the dealer before the stalling issue returned. this almost caused a crash on a congested narrow highway in denver, co. when i called the dealer, they told me they couldn't help and to see another dealer. i was towed to a third dealer, who was also not able to find any issue.

Vehicle stalled on a hill without warning. towed to dealership and was told it had 1 quart of oil at 979 miles. at 700 miles when checked it was in normal range

First, speaker keeps going in and out then 12v port was dead. screen shot off a few times. hands free access stopped working a few times. now for the 3rd time (3 different stall outs), the car is shutting off on its own while driving. this last time, it acted like it was in another shift other than drive and when i put it in park it ran rough then just died. came back on like nothing happened after shutting off and restarting.

My wife has had her renegade for about 6 months now. we purchased it brand new. a couple weeks after we got it she was driving down the road in town and it started sputtering and shut off under a red light at a busy intersection and about got hit. after a couple minutes it finally started back and was able to get it off the road. once off the road she let it sit and started it back up and attempted to drive home but it cut off again. we left it over night at the sheriff's dept and got it the next day and drove it to the dealership. we told them what was happening and they kept it for about a week and said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. so after driving it for another couple of days it started messing up again. so yet again we took it back to the dealership and they kept it for about a week and said they fixed it. now after a couple of months its doing the same thing as before and about caused her to get hit. it's back at the dealership so hopefully they will figure it out. but after reading all of the reports from other people i don't have much faith in that. hopefully jeep will swallow their pride and recall the vehicles before someone gets killed.

I can be driving and the engine will just cut out. will start again but stops every few minutes. this happened also when i purchased it in october 2018. the dealership had it for two weeks and said there was nothing wrong with it. it finally just stopped stalling on it's own but now it has returned!

Vehicle stalled while pulling out into traffic, another time it didn't start after a few tries vehicle started. stalled a second and third time but i noticed the oil indicator light came on for a tenth of a second then went out. returned home and checked the oil level. (vehicle was just in for a 1000 mile courtesy check by the dealer vehicle had 2660 miles on odometer) service manager said everything is ok and we left. odometer has 2975 miles when this shutting off occurred. when dip stick was read it was reading the very tip of the stick. i added 3 qts. of manufactures recommended oil and took the vehicle to the dealer to read the codes and ask why i was out of oil with no oil indicator light on. safety concern is this engine per the service manager is programmed to shut off in the event of a low oil pressure. the issue i have is that you do not get any warning that you have low oil pressure until the engine shuts off and then you really don't know why.

Car only has 4000 miles ( still like new). once incident i had was trying to make a turn i slowed down then when attempting to accelerate the car wouldnt go . i had to pull over and completely turn off the vehicle. has happen 3 times in less than one week. ive made several attempts to contact dealer and service dept, but no call backs.

Sputtering or hesitation when driving.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 jeep renegade. the contact stated that the vehicle lost power randomly while driving on the highway. the vehicle was taken to three different dealers, but no failure was found. bettenhausen chrysler dodge jeep ram (8355 w 159th st, tinley park, il 60477, (708) 532-2665) initially stated that the vehicle would be ready to pick up earlier in the week; however, they still had the vehicle. the diagnosis specifics were unknown. the contact called the manufacturer and was informed that there were no recalls. the contact was informed to call nhtsa to file a complaint. the contact also stated that the service engine indicator illuminated between trips to the dealers. the vehicle was still under warranty. the failure mileage was unknown.

My stalled 3 times in 2 weeks. twice i was slowing to take a turn-this happened a week apart in the same exact turn. twice i was driving about 20 mph. this happened on 4-21-19, 4-27-19 and 4-30-19. i have approx 5200 miles. i called chrysler and they said there were no recalls, that i probably do not need an oil change (she checked on this information). when the light goes on or 7-8,000 miles i should schedule one. no dash indicator lights come on. each time i am able to guide my car out of traffic. i shut off radio, wipers and all electrical and after i hit to restart it sounds like it is really trying, but it eventually does start. i stalled this morning (5-1-19) and i was almost rear ended as it was so sudden. the car behind me had to swerve. i put on my hazards. i called chrysler corporate because my dad hears something about the 2.4l engine being recalled. chrsyler corporate told me to bring it to the dealer and either way should be covered (warranty or added to recall). the dealer had no record of recalls and said i needed an oil change. that is ridiculous that needing an oil change could be such a dangerous thing. i find that hard to believe. i have had this jeep since oct 2018. i am very scared now. i commute to boston in the tunnels and on the tobin bridge during busy rush hour. so disappointed these dangerous problems are happening - and so soon after purchasing. my customer care # from my call into chrysler (fca - fiat chrysler automobiles), which they closed even though it wasn't resolved, is 57585393. called them 4-30-19 also, sometimes when i turn my wheel to take a sharp turn a bell dings one. it has happened about 6 times since owning.

I bought a brand new 2018 jeep renegade. at approximately 2,500 miles the car would shut off on me while driving. no warning lights came on. it shut off twice while driving straight and twice while making left hand turns. after the first time it shut off, it didn't have the pickup it had before and seemed to sputter. i took it to a jeep dealership and they said that i was out of oil. they topped it off and sent me on my way. at 5,500 miles my car shut off on me again while driving. this was very scary. it occurred while making a left hand turn at a large intersection. i thought i was going to get hit. lost all power steering and car took time to restart. again, the car sputtered after that and turned off a couple of more times before i could get back to dealership. my car is now in for an oil consumption test. i have researched this issue and see that there are many other complaints of the same issue. a brand new car should not be shutting off while driving. this is a safety issue. some warning light needs to identify there is a problem. checking the oil every 1,000 miles is unacceptable for a new car. this is very dangerous. will it take lives lost for action to be taken?

Since 21000 miles (first instence) we have had issues with the car shutting off , and losing all power to the gas and break, almost causing a wreck. i was turning left and the engine sputrered, then as the wheel straightened up it completely lousy all gas, and break function as if it was not idling. about every 3-4 weeks after it would stall, but not lose complete control. we started to notice it was using excessive amounts of oil, after acknowledging first couple issues. we are currently having it looked at, as the electrical components would not allow us to start the engine at all, we are currently at 30,000 miles. car is 1.5 years old , problems arose 5 months ago.

My 2018 jeep renegade engine dies spontaneously. check engine light does not come on. it starts back up right away but when placed in gear it dies. the dealership will look at it for a 4th time tomorrow morning 08/14/2019 at 9am. so far the problem has not been resolved. there is a recall list for certain vin number jeep renegade models but my vin isn't on the list. engine shouldn't die or stall on a brand new vehicle with less than 20,000 miles. first time it dies was 5,031 miles, then 13,541 miles, then 19063 miles.

Burning oil stalled while driving vehicle could of been hit

I have a 2018 jeep renegade that i first had this problem with at 5000 miles. took it to dealership, they said they changed oil, and that i had to drive it for 1000 miles, mind you it had been stalling in traffic, if during the 1000 mile test stalling occured to bring it back to service dept. if no stalling occured then i was good. well after 4000+ miles it happened again this time when i was 300 miles away from home, and in very heavy traffic. sticker dealership put on my window was for oil change at 10087 miles, i was at 9600. had car towed by roadside assistance and waited for monday morning to go to dealership. first dealership literally sent me a text telling me i had to pay 135.00 diagnosis labor cost up front, while my car is under warranty, i told them not to touch the car and had it towed to another dealer. they also gave me a very hard time, but finally after 5 hours told me it again was "oil consumption" issue, that they would do oil change, and that i am to take it in to dealership at 1000 miles regardless of issue happening again. oh and they tried charging me 78.25 for oil change, which was quickly changed to 0 by service manager who said i should not be charged anything since my car is under 10000 miles. so what i am supposed to go to dealership every 1000 miles??? i missed a day of work cause of this.this is completely unacceptable and a huge safety issue.

Purchased new on 23 feb 2019. i checked the oil level at 500 miles and it was a half quart low. i asked the service department by email about this and the response was oil is serviced at 3000 miles. i again asked if i need to bring it in to be topped off. i have not received a response. when it gets to a quart low i will go to the service department. should not be using this much oil.

I have had my car for exactly 3 months..... first thing that went wrong was the trunk hydraulic bar broken and fell off after i opened my trunk. and the big issue.. my car randomly shuts off while i'm driving, it started on the turnpike and then continued on the city streets. i finally was a block from the house and i had coast into my driveway.there is no warning when it happens it just shuts off. when i go to turn it back on it revs up real high and then idles low. my car is 3 months..... only has 3800 miles on it... i didn't pay 29k for a brand new car for it to have to be in the shop because something is already wrong with the engine... this does not reflect well on the jeep renegade... *dt*jb

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.

I purchased a 2018 renegade about 3 weeks ago. within a week of that problo began with remote starter that had been added prior to purchase that would unlock all the doors whenever vehicle was started using remote starter. i was extremely frustrated as that vehicle had issues from day one and dealer couldn't fix them. no offer from dealership to allow me to return it. so out of frustration i traded it in for a much higher cost vehicle in hopes the issues would be gone with a brand new vehicle of a higher price and package. not so! from the first day about 2 weeks ago i started experiencing serious problems. everytime i use the remote starter the vehicle shuts off whether i touch the door handle, unlock vehicle with remote, open door or enter vehicle if the first three methods didn't shut it down. in addition the uconnect 4 w/7" display started locking a week ago and would not let me turn it off, change temperature inside vehicle, even locked out the manual controls of heater/ac temps,fan could not be changed, radio stopped playing. no matter what i tried nothing worked. i had to pull over and shut vehicle off and restart. within a mile down the road it locked up again and this time same problems with non repsonsive controls as well as the video display began flickering in lower left hand of screen. i waited till i got to my destination and shut vehicle off. when i came out to leave it was somewhat working again. prior to this issue with uconnect the vehicle had been to dealership twice. first time they claimed they could not replicate 2nd time i was told the remote starter was a known issue since 4/2018 with no known remedy and the radio uconnect system was defective and a new radio was ordered but was backordered with no known date of availability. so i have a very expensive vehicle with just over 1,000 miles with serious and potentially dangerous issues with it.

The car is burning through oil around 1 quart for every thousand miles. when the oil is low the car will stall while driving which is dangerous. the car forces oil changes every 4000 miles roughly or the consumer constantly buying a special type of oil that costs more as well. the car will also not go into gear properly when the oil is low.

I was driving to work on a rural area road, going downhill and was preceding to turn right. i receive a warning that i had low oil pressure and the vehicle stalled. i read others have experienced the vehicle to shutdown completely , but this did not happen to me this time. when you check the oil it is in fact low. the engines oil consumption is ridiculous. your engine may consume over three quarters of the required oil between oil changes. mine was barely touching the dip stick and the vehicle holds 5.5 quarts of oil. the dealership is not helpful as they say it is a common occurrence with the engine and they will just document it if i have trouble later on. this is something that should not be happening to any new vehicle and it's not common for a vehicle to use three quarters of the required oil within an oil change. my vehicle only has 5,249 miles on it and the first oil change. as a consumer we should not be expected to keep check of the oil consumption on a vehicle that is brand new.

This occurred after an accident, damaging the front bumper and grill of the vehicle. the day after the accident, vehicle stalls once while driving. the following day, vehicle drives as if putting in gas while in park, but is still able to drive along with stopping and going while accelerating. now, the vehicle cannot accelerate past 15 mph, and still hold the problems previously mentioned.

On 2 separate occasions, within about 1 week of each other, the engine stalled while making a right turn. my vehicle only had about 7k miles on it at the time. the 2nd time it happened there was a low oil pressure warning that had come on briefly when i started the engine. the engine stalled on a busy road and i was barely able to pull off. i felt very unsafe during the time it took me to restart the engine. that night when i checked the dipstick there was no oil. the next day i got an oil change and haven't had a problem since. the dealership was unable to tell me why there was not enough oil in the engine.

Vehicle was purchased brand new off the showroom floor in july. in december it began stalling at odd times and not wanting to restart. week before christmas the oil change indicator came on. i thought nothing of it and figured i would schedule it as soon as i could after the holidays. the vehicle began stalling shortly after the oil change indicator happened. i thought it was because i did not let the vehicle warm up long enough and it was very cold outside. nope. i was on my way to the gas station and the vehicle stalled in the intersection and refused to restart. i was almost struck several times. it took 5 minutes to restart the vehicle and it was making noises like the engine did not want to turn over and catch. i finally got it out of the road and into the parking lot of the gas station. it sat for a few minutes and then restarted reluctantly. i filled it up with gas and it took several tries to get it to restart. a week later i was coming home from work and it stalled on me leaving the parking lot, i had literally driven 500 feet. when i restarted it, the vehicle check engine light came on and the red "power reduced" light was flashing on the dash. it would not go over 25 mph. i was able to get it to a parking lot a little ways up the road and let it sit for about 20 minutes. it restarted with no problems, the reduce power light was gone, the check engine light was still on, and i was able to drive it at a normal speed the rest of the way home. i started it again the next morning. no issues, check engine light is still on. as of this writing, i have had the vehicle for 6 months and it has 8100 miles on it. i bought it new off the showroom floor. if the reports i keep seeing on here are accurate, i will be trading it in for something else asap.

Engine has knocking sound. ( detonation) when accelerating . constantly. dealership respond was : no issue found. i've been requested diagnostic twice. same respond. even my wife could hear this sound.
