2018 Jeep Renegade

Since I’ve owned the car. When we go above 70 on highways with cruise control and a/c on the car will randomly turn off and the speedometer will say I am going 0 miles an hour. This has happened 5 times, everytime we go on vacation. And everytime the dealership states they can not mimic the symptoms. So it never gets fixed. Read about a power trans chip that’s faulty. Should be my vehicle included in that problem.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The primary components that failed in my 2018 Jeep Renegade, equipped with a 2.4L engine, include the electrical system and the fuel pump assembly. The vehicle has randomly reset its electrical equipment by morning and has turned off while driving, which stiffened the steering wheel without warning. These components should be available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and the safety of others were put at significant risk numerous times. The vehicle has randomly turned off while driving, causing the steering wheel to stiffen without any warning. This sudden loss of power and control in traffic is extremely dangerous and could easily lead to accidents. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by both a dealer and an independent service center. The dealers identified issues with the electrical system resetting and the engine turning off unexpectedly, but solutions have been inconsistent. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Yes, the vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer and the dealership. The manufacturer has been notified of these issues, and the dealership performed diagnostic tests, but the problem persists despite their interventions. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, there were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failures. The electrical system would reset by morning without any prior indication, and the vehicle would turn off while driving with no warning signs. These issues have occurred intermittently since I purchased the vehicle, putting me in dangerous situations multiple times.

My 2018 Jeep renegade touchscreen began delaminating and is causing the touchscreen to malfunction, hitting many buttons and eventually just shutting off completely while driving. I live in Florida and the summer temperatures range from the 90s-mid hundreds and it is not safe to drive a vehicle where the electrical systems are erratic and shut off and then turn on again on their own.

• The fuel pump failed. Yes it's available for inspection • I was driving on a very busy road going about 55mph and the car stalled. I was able to coast to the shoulder of the road to avoid being rear-ended. This put my life at risk along with the other drivers if I was not able to safely get to the side of the road. • I am not able to reproduce the issue as my vehicle will not start after the incident. It has not been confirmed yet by another party as it just happened this morning. • It has not been inspected yet. • There were not warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the vehicle dying. I was driving this morning (6/4/2024), going up a slight incline going about 55mph and the fuel pump stopped working and my engine cut off off in the middle of traffic.

the screen in the center console has been in the process of delaminating and has recently become un-usable. If turned on, the effect of delamination (separation of the glue between the LCD and digitizer) results in pushed buttons, unintentional phone calls, and unwanted setting changes. This is disruptive while driving and unsafe since the center console controls a number of functions inside the car.
