HAS ANYONE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEIR JEEP JUST STALLING? AND HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT WHAT CAUSED IT? 2018 REGENADE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. 8 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT BRAND NEW. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH ATLANTA AND IT JUST SHUT OFF. IT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. I DROVE SOMEPLACE RIGHT OFF THE EXIT AND LET IT SIT FOR AN HOUR AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS FINE. STILL HAD ABOUT 300 MILES UNTIL THE RECOMMENDED CHANGE. I DROVE THE REMAINING 5 HOURS HOME WITHOUT ISSUE. TONIGHT I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IT STARTED SPUTTERING. I TRIED MOVING FORWARD AND NOTHING. TRIED TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON. NOTHING. MY RADIO AND AC WERE BOTH STILL ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE ROAD (THANKFULLY FOR A SMALL DECLINE) AND PUSHED THE OFF BUTTON AGAIN. WHEN I TRIED TURNING IT BACK ON EVERYTHING WAS LOCKED UP. COULDN'T PUSH THE BREAK PEDDLE DOWN AND THE DRIVE LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON THE SHIFTER. I LET IT SIT ANOTHER 30 SECONDS AND IT TURNED BACK ON FINE. I HAVE OVER 2000 MILES BEFORE THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE AND A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. ALSO NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED BUT MY HUSBAND'S KEY FOB WILL RANDOMLY NOT WORK. TODAY HE GOT IN MY CAR WITH HIS KEYS AND IT WOULDN'T START UNTIL HE PRESSED THE FOB TO THE START BUTTON THEN A LIGHT CAME ON SAYING LOW OIL PRESSURE AND IT QUICKLY WENT AWAY. THAT LIGHT DID NOT COME ON BEFORE OR AFTER THAT INCIDENT.

WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL 55 MPH AT AN APPROXIMATE ALTITUDE OF 5500FT ON HWY 80 WEST IN WYOMING, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST ALL POWER, ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND DASHBOARD MESSAGE SAID SHIFT TO PARK. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL. I PROCEEDED TO PARK THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE HWY AND SHIFTED TO PARK. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO. I DECIDED TO TURN THE ENGINE ON, WHICH IT DID, SHIFTED TO DRIVE, AND DROVE TO THE NEAREST HWY EXIT. I DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS, BASE ON OTHER OWNERS REPORT'S THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY A FAILURE IN THE ENGINE FUEL PUMP AND/OR VOLTAGE REGULATOR WHICH IT MAKES SENSE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND RECALL THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

ENGINE CONSUMES OIL. THERE IS ZERO REASON FOR A 2018 MODEL VEHICLE TO CONSUME ENGINE OIL. DEALERSHIP HAS TALKED WITH ME ABOUT THIS AT EVERY OIL CHANGE AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO CONSUME OIL. BULL CRAP!!! RECALL THIS AND FIX THE PROBLEM FCA. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND COMPLAINTS.

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).
