2018 JEEP RENEGADE

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Jeep Renegade 4X2 flex fuel/E85 vehicles equipped with a 2.4L engine. 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.

Risk: A loss of fuel pressure can cause a stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Unknown. Bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade, brand new and about 4-5 months ago, the screen started glitching. Sometimes, it only shows 1/3 of the screen, and there is a constant beeping as the screen switches between apps and stations. In other words, the screen is faulty, and it sometimes affects the reading of the digital speedometer. My car has only about 84k miles. I understand many others are experiencing similar issues with their 2018 Jeep Renegade.

Stereo Head Unit screen went black. It started "glitchy" with streaks but eventually went black. No use of the rear back up camera or any functions on the head unit... climate control, radio, setting, etc. I have seen online that this is common and I do not think it is right for a consumer to spend well over a 1000 to replace it. This is not a "wear" part. Disapointed in the quality of components in my Renegade.

Radio screen has completely gone out. The inability to use the backup camera causes safety concerns.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The information screen, which displays the backup camera and everything else that the car does, from radio to climate control, glitches and then goes black. From what I’ve seen on the internet, this is a widespread problem and, since it deals with the backup camera, is directly safety related.

Just had the engine replaced for the oil consumption done in 2022. They did not replace the motor mounts at that point. But now they are saying those are leaking and my fuel pump has also gone out.

My Skylight has never worked properly since we bought my 2018 jeep renegade . It worked very slowly closing in the beginning so they lubricanted it and it worked for maybe a year before it started not fully opening before closing then fully opening and not closing .. Again I was told a lubrication issue But when I confronted that they just done the lubricant last year, they now say the only fix is to totally replace the entire skylight at ungodly cost to me not them.. That’s ridiculous.. I have read so many other owners that are having the same issue and the fact that they have found that there are parts to repair this problem but no one want to do so being the dealership just want to replace the entire skylight after they charge you ungodly cost to tell you they can’t fix it just replace it.. What will it take for Jeep to step up and do these repairs for its owners .. I love my jeep Renegade and hate to have a skylight I paid more to have not work .. I’ve owned my Renegade since June 2019 a gift from my husband. But knowing we paid for something we can’t use without added expenses that they can’t guarantee and want guarantee because they are replacing the entire skylight with another skylight that has the same problem .. I get it.. But we are just asking for Jeep to make repairs to the problem that they are well aware of for years now so we who own and love our Renegade can completely enjoy all the features we paid for..

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that after his daughter had driven the vehicle, parked, and powered off, 7 hours later, the interior passenger side panel of the door was engulfed in flames, which had by that time blackened the glass. The driver's boyfriend witnessed the flames originating from the glove compartment and attempted to extinguish the fire by hand, which failed but resulted in him sustaining injury to his right hand. The boyfriend was eventually able to extinguish the flames by disconnecting the battery. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard but had yet to be deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A fire report was not filed. A police report was not filed, but injuries were reported. The driver's boyfriend later transported himself to an area hospital and was treated for minor burns to his right hand. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was informed that the manufacturer intended to send an investigator to inspect the vehicle at the tow yard. The contact was later informed that a manufacturing defect was not deemed the cause of the fire and that he would receive no further assistance. The failure mileage was 47,000.

POWER TRAIN

I was driving in traffic and it was bumper to bumper. I had to keep going into first, move a little then stop for several miles. Coming out of the [XXX], heading up the hill, I started to smell burning, the clutch then pinned to the floor and I was stuck in first gear, and the vehicle shut off, not overheating warning, nothing. I was able to start the vehicle after a few moments and then got it t the shoulder, had it towed and I was told the clutch pressure plate was fractured and a whole new transmission would need installed if the flywheel isn't damaged. It wont be serviced until March 28th or 29th and then I will know if a $2500 dollar fix turns into a $5000.00 dollar fix. 54 thousand miles on this and it drove fine in traffic like this before and had no issues with it shifting or anything until this day. They say there is a recall on the Renegade specifically NHTSA20V-124 involving renegades with 6 speed manual transmissions. I couldn't get any help from Chrysler, the recall information center but this information is out on the web. Next is lemon law attorney. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SEAT BELTS

The driver seat belt buckle malfunctioned, the clip will not stay in no matter what. The dealership said the part isn’t available anywhere and is on endless back order without an ETA. As well as they are unsure of what parts are needed as there is an electrical part they confused if it’s needed that is also unavailable anywhere. The jeep/chrysler company itself has also been no help, it has been 3 weeks. I keep getting told the same thing and to “be patient” and that this is not a safety recall, even though the part isn’t available anywhere. The dealership confirmed its malfunction. My safety/risk factor and ability to drive has now been severely impacted as It is illegal and dangerous to drive without a seatbelt, I have not been offered any help or coverage, and I have a newborn baby! There was no forewarning or symptoms of failure beforehand. This has been sudden and infuriating.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with the check engine warning illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the contact’s home. An independent mechanic came to the contact’s home, where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 131,000.

POWER TRAIN

After purchasing a new battery due to multiple issues with a drained battery, when trying to jump the new battery the jeep would not take a jump. The lights came on and indicated multiple issues and the steering wheel became immovable. The jeep will not start and each time if left hooked up will drain fully charged battery.

Truck sputter to start or does not start at all. When I put fuel in my car it doesn't start for two days. Mechanic believes it's fuel system but couldn't be sure since there weren't any codes throwing from his diagnostic machine

ENGINE

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine is consuming excessive amount of oil. Specifically, I had an oil change in December 2024 and now in March 2025 I had to add to add 2 quarts and it's just been 3 months and under 1000 miles since the last oil change. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The low oil cause the car to stall sometimes when in a curve and also displays warning on dash to put car in park and restart engine. This is very dangers as we sometimes get stuck in the middle of the road until the car is restarted. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have taken it to the Jeep dealership about 2 years ago for this issue, but they claimed it's normal to have to add oil in between oil changes. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? A warning lamp comes on while driving that says to put the car in park and restart the engine. This issue has been occurring on a daily basis. From my research online, it appears this is a known issue with these engines and should have a recall.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING

The entire radio system begins to get white ghost lines which affects the rear back-up camera and rear safety systems, and it also affects the parking brakes when the vehicle is in park or stopped. The use of the radio system is required to do basic maintenance on the vehicle such as brake changes.

The screen started to glitch out for periods at a time. Now it is just black and nothing works on it now, including the backup camera (safety issue). The seat warmers and steering wheel warmer is on but now there’s no way to turn them off. The amount of people that complain of the same issues online is insane, this needs to be recalled.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

I went to get a light fixed (Driver Side fog light) and the bulb had blown up and completely melted the housing. I searched the internet and it is on the Jeep site as extremely common. I just purchased this car. I can't afford $650 to fix the melted housing. The guy that tried to change it at the shop said it was a complaint he has heard before.

the dash board light comes on and turns off and this drains the battery, tried to start vehicle 2X to revive it and disconnected the display battery cord so the battery doen't turn on the display. Battery has been replaced new but screen is not working. Dealership has done diagnostics and radio replacement recommended

ENGINE

Driving on the highway car was starting to loose speed, lights on dash starting to flash I was able to pull off on the side of the road, car stalled and steering wheel locked up. After several minutes it turned on and drove away fine. This is not the first time this has happened. Did oil consumption test several times and stated I’m in the safe zone. This is a severe safety issue but no recalls for my VIN. I saw lots of cars have this same issue with engine stalling.

POWER TRAIN

My Jeep has stalled while driving 3 times. It has been happening about once each year. The center console no long works. The screen just turned off one day and has never turned back on. Now it will not start. At first the dash turned on with all lights, would not start would not turn off break locked. Then the dash started flashing and the slowly diming until it no longer work. Then the RPM and MPH startes going up and down then the car died off. There is a recall for Jeep renegade that seems to reflect what it happening but the vin search states no recalls. I now only now don't have a car that I'm still paying on but someone could have been hurt. When this initially started I did check for recalls, and as I just did again. I can't get it anywhere to be looked at.

The glue on the screen melts running into the knobs and controls. As well as delaminating on my screen causing ghost clicks.

My 2018 Jeep Renegade was manufactured in 2017..There is a recall on high oil consumption for this car.My car has burned oil since it was bought l every 3 months I bring it in to dealership and it is completely empty. It has stalled right in the middlle of traffic and shut off. As the car has gone up in miles the issue seems to be getting worse. I now run out every two months and there seems to be leading to other issues with the car. I have brought it in to the dealership and called Jeep to no avail. Obviously I have the same issues as the other Jeep renegades with the 2.4 engine and same years l. I do not I understand why a recall on my vin has not been put in l. I have spent alot of.money with all the extra oil and maintenance that's had to be been since the beginning. I feel this car will not last because of this issue through no fault but my own bit from a manufacturing error

The automobile will shut off during driving. On three separate occasions while driving the automobile has lost all drivability. The first occasion I was leaving work (01/02/2025) and as I went to accelerate on to the road from a dead stop, the engine shut off. I had to place the car back in park and depress the brake to start the engine again (by depressing the start engine button). The second occasion happened as I was entering the expressway (01/07/2025). I was turning off the main road onto the onramp of the expressway when the engine shut off again. This time I was accelerating up to around 40 mph when the engine shut off. Luckily, I was able to coast to a stop in the emergency lane. The steering locked up due to the engine shut down so I was not able to restart the car until putting it back in park to start the whole start sequence. The third occasion happened today (01/16/2025) as I was leaving school. I was leaving the parking lot when I went to accelerate from a stop the engine shut off again.

Owned since new, the vehicle has 19000 miles on it and the factory head unit is mostly delaminated. Will randomly go into and change vehicle settings or otherwise self modify stations/input while driving. This can be very dangerous depending on what it does without human input. This is a very common problem, unsure why there is not a recall for this.
