VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WHEN DRIVING, GOING LESS THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR. SYSTEM DOES NOT SHUT DOWN. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A BATTERY OR ELECTRICAL ISSUE. HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN A MONTH. PULLED OVER INTO PARK & HAD TO RESTART THE CAR. LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. MECHANIC REFERRED ME TO DEALERSHIP AS THEY COULD ONLY DETERMINE A LOW OIL CONSUMPTION/ PRESSURE. TERRIBLE KNOCKING SOUND IN FRONT AS WELL. VERY CONCERNED AS OTHER JEEPS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT MY 2017 RENEGADE LATITUDE IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING, OFTEN AFTER MAKING TURNS, AND IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH RESIDENTIAL STREETS AT SLOWER SPEEDS, AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S NORMAL AND A "FEATURE" OF THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE IF OIL LEVELS GET TOO LOW. WE REGULARLY CHANGE THE OIL EVERY 3,000 - 4,000 MILES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO OIL LEAKS DETECTED.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A 2 LANE CITY ROAD GOING UP A MOUNTAIN IN TUCSON. UPON REACHING THE ALTITUDE OF ABOUT 4000 FEET, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL OUT. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP, BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL, GAS, ETC. AS THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. AT THIS POINT, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF WAITING, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. WE CONTINUED OUR ASCENT UP THE MOUNTAIN, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER. AT THIS POINT, WE CANCELLED OUR PLANS AND WENT BACK DOWN. THERE WERE NO ISSUES GOING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN OR AFTERWARDS. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, WE TRIED IT AGAIN, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT THIS TIME STARTING AT AROUND 3500 FT.
