2018 Jeep Renegade Fuel System Problems

Car died due to being out of fuel but gauge still read 1/4 tank. Mechanic said fuel float failure.

See attached document for complaint.

I was turning into a residenr parking lot and the engine stopped running as I was turning. Fortunately no car was oncming and there was no accident in my case. Could not get my vehicle started. It had to be towed to the local Jeep dealer where they determined the fuel pump failed with just 61k mileage. I was told that the recall was for just vehicles using E85 fuel . But have discussed with other owners of standard fueled vehicles who had similar issues with their vehicles. I hope this is looked into for future safety issues to be resolved.

• 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.

Driving and my jeep lost power and cut off without any warning. Had jeep towed to tri city Kia in Eden, NC. My jeep was checked and my fuel pump has failed. There is a recall for this but my jeep does not fall in this recall. Can someone please advise me on what to do? I do not have any paperwork.

From date of purchase, fuel pump has been bad. It turns off when it’s hot outside. Has happened 30+ times in the almost 4 years I’ve owned it. Brought to mechanic numerous times and they wouldn’t find the problem. Now that I’m aware of the issue and there was a recall on Jeep renegade 2018 but is not pulling up under my vin

Driving on June 13, 2022 in Nebraska during excessive heat (105 degrees), engine stalled on the interstate and check engine light came on. Towed to a dealership, who said I probably had bad gas (I think the code was for fuel trim low in bank 1). They reset code, I filled up with high octane fuel and continued, only to have it happen again 50 miles down the road, this time with no check engine light. Towed back to dealership. They tried to replicate the problem over the next two days by driving it well over 125 miles. However, temperatures were in the low to mid 80s on those two days. I am having the car hauled home to my local dealership to figure out the issue. I suspect that it is the fuel pump over heating and failing.

When applying brake fuel pump continues to race motor

I I AM DRIVING MY CAR AND AT FIRST WHEN IT HIT ONE LINE OF GAS WITH NO LIGHT ON IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF AND NOT RESTART UNTIL I ADDED MORE GAS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING CAUSE THERE WAS NOT CODES IN THE SYSTEM AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN. SO I WAS SENT HOME. IT HAS HAPPEN NOW AT LEAST FOUR MORE TIMES SINCE. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS LAST WEEK AND THIS TIME I HAD TWO LINES OF GAS IN THE CAR. I HAD IT IN FOR EXPECTATION TODAY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AGAIN. THE PRECEDED TO TELL ME THE SAME THING. TAKE IT HOME BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I SHOULD CALL A TOW TRUCK NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. BUT THE CAR SHUTS OFF ANYTIME. THE LAST TIME IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY WITH A TWO YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT. THE CAR IS ACTING LIKE IT RAN OUT OF GAS BUT IT IS GETTING WORST AND IS PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER AND CAN'T GET JELP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WRONG.
