There are 4 owner-reported fuel system complaints for the 2020 Jeep Renegadein NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
My car system simply failed in the middle the road while driving. I had More than enough gas as well as great battery in the car. My car would not turn over to completely start but will turn on just to have a battery use. During my car stopping in the middle of the street many cars almost rammed into the back of me because i could Not get the car to turn on or move. Following this a tow truck by AAA came to get my car and tow it to Jeep dodge and ram in Greensboro, NC where it was then inspected and stated that it has a fuel pump failure which is heartbreaking because i have Had the car for only 4-4 1/2 years. With amazing maintenance on it
Vehicle had strong smell of fuel after short trip. Investigated, found fuel on harness behind engine. Took vehicle to dealership. Dealer found "diagnose hole in fuel supply tube. Damage caused from contacting and rubbing on engine wire harness. Fuel line bundle will need tom be replaced. VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!." There were no warning lamps, messages, or any other signs of a problem except for the smell of fuel. I do have the fuel bundle that was replaced showing the damage, a pinhole. Pictures attached.
The engine stalled and shut off with no warning lights or anything. The whole car shut off while I was driving. This has done it to me 2 times. First incident I was in the middle of an intersection and it died on me. I had to put the car in neutral and coast to safety. Got it to start back and drive to the dealership and they couldn’t figure out what happened. 2nd time I was merging on a highway from an on ramp and it just shut off with no warning. I had it towed to the dealer. I had oil and I had gas both according to the computer and dash of the vehicle. I was told the dealership that it was probably my fuel level sensor could be bad because the computer registers that I have fuel when I don’t have any. I was told it wasn’t covered under warranty and there was not any recalls at that time. I have read recent articles where many jeeps and dodges around my year model with the same issues and the engine stalling. It’s happening now to me and I am seriously concerned for my safety. This car is 3 years old and shouldn’t be having this issue. I feel like I was sold a lemon and it has caused me to think I will never buy another Chrysler made vehicle.
I was parking in my usual spot, slowly into the parking spot with my foot on the brake 5 mph, suddenly the Jeep accelerated and smashed into the wall of the building at full force. The Jeep bounced back so hard it jerked my head. The Jeep was leaking fluid, and the frame bent with body damaged. It had to be towed to the body shop. I am 100% sure that my foot was NOT on the accelerator. This could have been a fatality if I was on the road with other cars. Please investigate, I feel unsafe.
