ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The display screen for the back up camera, heating/cooling, radio, and all other settings has stopped functioning. The screen comes on, but with flashing static lines in the screen instead of the proper display. This makes it very hard to reverse at night, and downright dangerous... the screen can't be turned off, so when you put the engine in reverse, the screen automatically comes on and can't be turned off. But the bright flashing static display it shows make it hard to use mirrors to see to back up. Other factors make the screen not working inconvenient, but this point makes the malfunction an actual danger.

The original Uconnect head unit is phasing in and out. Sometimes 1/3 of it will be completely black, other times all of it. I have seen hundreds of online forums that this is a reoccurring issue. This is a safety hazard due to the fact the back up camera is inoperative at this state.

2019 Jeep Renegade Uconnect screen started displaying vertical lines on the screen and eventually goes black. Cannot use any of the screen controls or use the backup camera. I have seen owners of various year models on Reddit experiencing the same issues with no recourse from Jeep since they are out of warranty. Our only option is to buy an aftermarket head unit or pay Jeep over $1200 to replace it with something that will fail again

The console back up screen malfunctioning
Sep 08, 2025
The radio screen is black and the back up camera is contacted with the screen. I would think that would be a safety issue. I have tried all of the resets. I took to a dealership yesterday and it will cost over $1600.

My display screen started messing up and now it's completely black. It comes and goes from messing up to going black. I read that a lot of jeeps display screens are doing this and they're charging $1700- $2200 to fix it. Too many people jeeps are doing this around the world, it has to be a recall issue.
Feb 12, 2025
The display for the backup camera is only showing a partial screen preventing full view of the rear of the vehicle when in reverse. The rear camera is a safety feature to prevent backing incidents protecting human and property damage. After research , this appears to be a common issue with the 2018 and 2019 Jeep Renegades. The problem started approximately six months ago August 2024 and I have not had it looked at by the dealership.

On 11/28/2024 my 2029 Jeep Renegade Multi Air Actuator failed we had just finished our drive when it failed. It spit oil everywhere and melted spark plug caps and cracked the value covers. We waited 4 months to get the part as it was on back order with thousands and we are still waiting on the value covers to this day. I PAY PAYMENTS monthly on a car I cannot drive and waiting on the parts because they are back ordered. I have spent thousands of dollars on parts and would hope thus would be a recall. If we were actively driving when it failed my family and I. Could have been badly injured.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 38,000.

My vehicle is experiencing the same exact engine issue that a technical bulletin has been issued for. The bulletin is for affected vehicle manufactured after 2021 which would qualify for warranty reimbursement. My vehicle is a 2019 with 54k miles on it. The problem started at appx 48k miles 4 months ago. The Bulletin number is TSB 09-006-23 (Low oil Pressure) When the check engine light turns on the car will drive normal then at times the jeep will not go over 3300 RPMs causing a lack of power to accelerate. I have experienced situations where I cannot accelerate while driving or accelerate from a stop while trying to merge on to a highway. The bulletin is issued for a large repair. Please review this failure of parts to trace back to the appropriate years affected. This could result in a vehicle crash.

2019 Jeep Renegade 4WD 65,000+ Miles at the time of repair, the Renegade was initially brought into the dealership for shaking and rattling noise from the front-end engine area. The dealership service inspection found the fan blade cracked and missing pieces and the fan was unbalanced, and recommended replacing the cooling fan assembly. Once they replaced the coolant fan motor and removed the front fascia, they found trans cooler lines leaking at the cooler joint and recommended replacing the cooler and lines. After all the parts arrived and with an oil change, the total invoice was over $3,000. The component that failed/malfunctioned is the cooling fan assembly. The vehicle in its damaged state was said not to cool and cause engine damage. The dealership confirmed the problem. The dealership inspected the vehicle. There were no warning lamps, messages, or any notifications of the problem it was brought into the dealership due to the sound/vibration of the engine. This fan issue is similar to the recall on all 2015-2017 Jeep Renegades that was issued after a lawsuit was dismissed because Fiat Chrysler (FCA US) offered to replace the cooling fans for free or reimburse Renegade customers for engine cooling fan repairs.

Issue with brakes wearing and warping down after 10,000 miles after new brakes and rotors are replaced.
Nov 08, 2023
37000 miles, 4 sets of rotors, 4 sets of brake pads, the current set has only 1000 miles on it and rotors are already warped and cut marks on them, in less than 5 months. Jeep service mechanics have said off the record this is a known problem with these jeeps but they are pushing all the costs off to consumers to keep fixing it, and it took a lot for any of them to finally admit it’s a known problem with the front dusk brakes on Jeep renegades.

If you have my jeep renegade in drive and you open a door it activates the emergency brake. My husband was in a wreck in the lowes parking lot. He hadn’t shut his door right and so he opened the driver door slightly which activated the emergency brake which in turn caused him to slam into a parked car. I don’t see how this is a safety feature at all.

Now the un-fasened seat belt alarm keeps alarming even when the seat belt is engaged.They also scratched the riverside passenger door and foot long deep scratch I have no faith they can fix any recall correctly since they didn't even bother to test it

THE REAR SEAT BELTS RECOGNIZE SOMEONE IS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN THE BACK SEAT. THE SEAT BELTS HAVE TO BE FASTENED AT ALL TIMES (WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT). IF ONE PERSON IS IN THE BACK SEAT BUCKED, THE OTHER SPOTS WILL CONTINUOUSLY "DING" UNTIL THE SEAT BELTS ARE FASTENED. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FROM 1 WEEK AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED (AUG 2018)

Both front tires had improper wear on the outside tread. The tires were worn down to the steel belts.
Jul 29, 2022
Owned my vehicle a little over 2 years and when walking past my car one day noticed a shimmery glare on my driver side from tire. Upon further inspection realized that the shimmer was coming from the belts that were already making an appearance. Immediately took my car to a service provider who tried to get me to spend over $300 to get a possible $75 warranty credit. I walked out and just ordered 2 tires from another manufacturer. When my mechanic put my new tires on said he found ZERO reason that these tires should be doing what they are. i have never had such a horribly manufactured tire in all my years of owning cars. Complete junk and going to cause an accident if someone doesn't do something about it. 215/60R17 is my size
May 16, 2022
4 months after my first incident with my front 2 tires, here i am again dealing with the exact same issue with the 2 rear tires. What angers me even more about this instance is that the mechanic who replaced my front 2 tires looked in January when they replaced and said that my rear 2 seemed to be ok an unaffected by whatever was going on and maybe it was just a fluke. Something needs to be done or this issue is going to cause an accident. I was lucky that someone saw the exposed belts with mine and let me know otherwise I could have possibly had a blowout and had no idea.

P1DB7 Check engine light code. Almost every other new Jeep seems to have this issue and just reading about it online the problem is so bad one person had a brand new car and on the drive home from Jeep dealer got a check engine light but that’s only because it was new under warranty.

I have a 2019 jeep renegade. I have had issues with the vehicle not wanting to shift when it is cold and after it has been driven long periods of time. I have had the vehicle in several times an they keep saying there is nothing wrong. When I first got the vehicle before the first oil change they had to put a quart of oil in the vehicle. That has not happened until now. I went to go to Cleveland last week and I checked the oil and had to put a quart of oil in it before I went. I had 15500 miles on it and did not have to change the oil until 20000. When I told them that they said that they were allowed 1 quart of oil between oil changes. I did not buy a brand-new vehicle to have to check the oil every 3000 miles. If I want to do that I would of kept my chevy trailblazer that I did not have to put a quart into just a ½ quart that cost 2 – 3 dollars a quart not 10. That was why I got rid of the other vehicle.

Screen has bubbling starting to appear on it, ghost touch is activating every button on the screen. Doesn’t stop when restarted and causes for navigation system to be hindered.

The backup up camera screen stops working when the car is warm. The screen divides into three columns. As it warms up the columns fail. They become electronically distorted beyond recognition and eventually go black. This backup camera screen is also the touch screen that controls lots of functions of the vehicle. Defroster, climate controlls, radio, hands free phone usage, car settings for lights, horns, and much more. The car is available for inspection upon request. There is a large blind spot behind the vehicle when backing up. We only buy a car if it has a backup camera. We do not ever want to back over a child. The camera and viewing screen must work to help prevent this. On this vehicle it does not work. Unacceptable. We called the dealership. They are familiar with the problem. It happens to many jeeps they said. They quoted us $1050 dollars to fix it. I went online and found that many people that had paid to have this repaired at the dealership, had the screens fail again soon after the repair. We have not had it repaired yet. Because we don't have confidence that Jeep has a viable solution yet. It has not been inspected by anyone yet. The problem starts to appear as a separation of the screen into three columns. One by one, those columns begin to fail. They fail rather quickly. As the vehicle gets warmer, the screen fails faster. Often the screen doesn't work at all when you first turn the car on. There have not been any warning signs or lights warning us of a failure. The failure started around August 2024. The vehicle had only 24500 miles.

On July 21, 2023, I was vigorously hit in the rear by someone. According to the police report, this person's airbags deployed. Unfortunately, my airbag, although hit extremely hard, did not. I was injured pretty bad and had to get treatment for over a year. I am still not completely healed. I was uneasy about my airbag not deploying and was sent a safety recall notice explaining why it did not. To resolve the issue, the manufacturer is offering free repair of my vehicle. This is not sufficed, and I demand pain and suffering along with medical help. The airbag not deploying during my accident resulted in increased injury. Please help me mediate with the manufacturer.

All setting have also switched to Canadian metrics-milage, tire pressure, speedometer etc. The seat belts also don't always lock in. Some times they lock in other times you have to punch in the button to try and get the locking mechanism to engage.

Without warning, the Jeep will flash a number of error messages and the engine will immediately shut off. The Jeep can be stopped, placed in park, and it starts right back up as though nothing is wrong. This has happened a few times, usually without incident. However, a few days ago, it occurred while driving 70MPH down the interstate, forcing me to cross several lanes after the vehicle shut itself off, without power, in order to pull to a stop and restart the vehicle. This could have led to a serious collision at high speeds. Error messages that flash up include: high coolant temp, 4WD needs serviced, engine service light, etc. But as soon as vehicle is restarted, none of these error messages reoccur.

The vehicle was involved in a crash and no airbags deployed. The front right (passenger) side quarter panel, windshield bumper, headlight, marker light, and turn signal will all need replaced. With no safety restraint system, had the accident taken place at higher speeds, my passenger and myself could have been seriously injured or worse. The transmission, at 54,000, has began to overheat and slip while shifting. The cooling fans only work with the air conditioner on causing the vehicle to overheat. This vehicle has a 194° thermostat and the temperature gauge reads 227° but the actual gauge shows the temperature still in the middle, where it always is. I have replaced the coolant bottle due to it separating at the seam causing a coolant leak. Also, NHTSA show that I have zero pending recalls when I know there is because I never took the vehicle to the dealership because the dealership is permanently closed.

DOORS DON'T STAY IN AN OPEN POSITION WHEN GETTING IN & CONSTANTLY FALL SHUT ON ME & MY BABY WHEN TRYING TO LOAD HIM INTO CAR. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED & THEY DON'T REMOTELY CARE ABOUT MY ISSUES NOR DO THEY SEE THAT ALL MY DEALER VISITS AS UNACCEPTABLE. I DIDN'T BUY A NEW CAR FOR CONSTANT DEALER VISITS & NOW I AM STUCK IN A UNSAFE UNRELIABLE VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER WON'T BUY BACK & THE NEGATIVE EQUITY IS SO BAD ON THIS VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T TRADE OUT OF IT WITHOUT A MAJOR LOSS. I HAVE BEEN IN MANY OTHER JEEP VEHICLES THAT HAVE SOME OR ALL OF THE SAME SOFTWARE ISSUES AS MINE. WORSE BUY EVER!
