Fuel pump on other Renegade years
No other Renegade model year has enough reports of fuel pump for a sheet of its own. See every Renegade year.
What this problem usually is
A lot of fuel pump complaints are tied to a recall. Owners describe a car that stalled or wouldn't start, sometimes at highway speed, and many mention that a recall covers it and the part isn't available yet. Others paid for the pump themselves before a recall existed, or on a car the recall didn't include.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the fuel pump (29 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the fuel and propulsion cover the 2017 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
In certain operating conditions such as high power demand in conjunction with high altitude and/or high ambient temperatures, a manufacturing error in the fuel pump assembly may result in a loss of fuel pressure.
These vehicles may be equipped with a cracked oil pump housing/balance shaft module (BSM), which can cause the oil pump to fail and the engine to stall.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 29 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
