2018 Jeep Renegade Speed Control & Cruise Problems

I PURCHASED MY 2018 JEEP RENEGADE IN FEB OF 2019. I HAD UNDER 5K MILES ON IT AND TOOK IT ON MY FIRST ROAD TRIP. I MADE IT TO COLORADO AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 12 TIMES. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO 4 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND NO CODES OR ISSUES WERE FOUND. I DEALT WITH FCA WHICH WAS A NIGHTMARE, AND ALL THEY OFFERED WAS A FREE WARRANTY. I LET THEM KNOW I DONT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES. I THEN TOOK MY VEHICLE ON THE FIRST ROAD TRIP THIS WEEKEND TO LUBBOCK AND ONCE AGAIN IT STALLED OUT 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND AGAIN. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUES YET MY VIN DOESN'T FIT THE RECALL LIST. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WANT IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I COULD DIE FROM THIS VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO HELP ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND STARTED TO LOSE ACCELERATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DON JACKSON CHRYSLER JEEP (3950 JONESBORO RD, UNION CITY, GA 30291), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,200.

JEEP STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 75 ON CRUISE CONTROL; WE WERE IN THE PASSING LINE WITH SEMI TRUCKS BEHIND US SO WE HAS NOTHING CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER UNTIL WE COULD SAFELY MOVE THE CAR TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. CAR CONTINUED TO RUN, BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSTIC DID NOT SHOW ANY ISSUES; I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE IT WAS HOT AND BECAUSE I DROVE IT MORE THAN 5 HOURS. JEEP IS STUCK 12 HRS FROM WHERE I LIVE AND THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR.

II BOUGHT A 2018 JEEP RENEGADE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN NOV 2018. IN JAN 2019 THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 7 TIMES SINCE THEN FOR THEM TO FIX IT. THE 7TH TIME THEY HAD IT FOR 90 DAYS AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH JEEP ENGINEERS IN THE U.S. AND ITALY, WHERE IT IS MANUFACTURED, THEY HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FOR ALL THE PARTICULARS. WHAT IS NOT NOTED ARE THE OTHER FIXES THEY TRIED IN PRIOR VISITS, WHICH WAS TO REPLACE THE BUTTONS ON STEERING WHEEL, THE WIRING HARNESS, AND THE ACTUAL CRUISE CONTROL UNIT. SINCE THERE IS AN INTERNAL MEMORY FAULT WITH READING THE SPEED SENSOR, I FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE BOTH REFUSING TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK.

My Renegade fuel pump failed in a very unsafe manner without an engine light at only 42,000 miles, less than half the expected life of that component. I was driving on the highway and without warning I could no longer accelerate and I had plenty of fuel but no engine light came on and I had to glide to the right while cars were speeding around me before I reached 0mph. This is extremely dangerous and I'm finding it's very common in other models that aren't covered under the fuel pump recall for certain jeep renegades. My fuel pump was fixed and they said it was a common issue but I had no recourse to investigate beyond "it's not a recall". If this is happening to other Renegades not covered it will most definitely cause a serious crash as the engine is on but no acceleration.
