AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2024 Alfa Romeo Giulia, 2018-2025 Alfa Romeo Stelvio, 2019-2023 Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, and 2024 Fiat 500E vehicles. A seat belt buckle switch sensor may be improperly connected, preventing the front seat air bag from deploying as intended.

Risk: A front seat air bag that does not deploy as intended can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2020 Jeep Gladiator and Jeep Cherokee, 2019-2020 Ram 1500 Pickup, Ram 2500 Pickup, Ram 3500 Pickup, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler, and Jeep Renegade and 2019 Dodge Challenger vehicles equipped with 8.4" or 12" radio displays. A software error can cause the rearview camera image to remain displayed after the vehicle has been shifted out of reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

Risk: The lingering rearview image can distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.

AIR BAGS

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Jeep Renegade vehicles equipped with the Upland trim package. The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may have been incorrectly calibrated.

Risk: The miscalibrated ORC may incorrectly deploy the air bags during a frontal crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The console back up screen malfunctioning

BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS

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.

SERVICE BRAKES

This is the 2nd time I am repairing the left rear light that controls the signal, brake and parking light. The wires are burnt to the bulb. There is condensation in the light. Not accident related. I note that there is a potential recall but not officially.

SEAT BELTS

Took vehicle to Litha Jeep in Missoula Montana. They failed to do the recall and made it worse. 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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Unconect system replaced once under warranty garblled screen goes black after 10 min. Backup camera does not work. No longer under warranty should be recalled many compliments on line 58000 miles

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The screen has lines in it and I can’t see my back up camera

ENGINE

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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
