2019 Jeep Renegade complaints

The left taillight system is defective. The 5 electrical prongs have one in the middle that is missing. Hence, I had to buy another. The new one doesnt stay connected in the casing. Tape wont hold it. The piece is also defective as the two connectors dont fit together.

Weather strip repair on all four doors windows over 8 time on my vehicle n not getting the proper fixing service on it.. I get water leaks into the vehicle and loud wind noise. I had ask several time did they take off the panel n look n see how far my window are going up and causing damage to the weather strips.. I had Google this issue n told them about the window regulator not being adjusted right for the window to stop at the correct spot… I got a body’s shop estimate how much it would cost me to fix my car.. and it a manufacturer issue from what the body shop say it will need new windows regulator and weatherstrip n panel n trim around the window due to a poorly placement on the car.. due to the service department Technician didn’t know how to put them on.. strives of pratville al service my car 7 times and premier of Troy al service my car 1 time

When vehicle is started ALL warning lights come on and stay on. 4WD does not work when this happens. Parking brake occasionally will not release when this happens. Unsure if hill start assist or other drive train issues will work when this problem occurs. Occasionally the alarms will not go off and the lights will not come on, when this happens 4WD will engage. This vehicle has been in the shop many times for this issue.

Sometimes when I put the car in drive after I've reversed, the rear camera stays on while I'm driving forward.

My car is dying after running for awhile. I’ve had a multipoint inspection done, and everything was in order so I’m not sure what’s wrong. It just cuts off while I’m driving, and no engine lights are on. If I try to start it again, it usually turns back on, but it makes me do it several times some times.

Both front tires had improper wear on the outside tread. The tires were worn down to the steel belts.

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.

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

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.

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.

The vehicle was not drivable. The insurance company deemed the vehicle as a total loss. The vehicle was first towed to the local dealer and then towed to the second location at copart.

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.

The contact leased a 2019 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stopped inadvertently with the “service automatic throttle control" message displayed on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer on three separate occasions where several tests were performed however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Jeep Renegade Latitude. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 25-30 mph, there was another vehicle coming in the opposite direction onto a steep curve on the road. The contact steered right to avoid hitting the other vehicle and ended up hitting a tree that was on the road, then hit two other trees nearby. The air bags did not deploy. The contact and passenger did not sustain injuries and no medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed back to the contact's parent's residence. The front frame, tie rod, and the radiator was damaged. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.

I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER OF CHRYSLER OWNING 4 INCLUDING INCLUDING 2 CARS IN THE LAST 20 MONTHS AND ON 1/4/2020 FILED MY FIRST WARRANTY CLAIM THAT WAS DENIED BY CHRYSLER. THE PROBLEM WAS THE DRIVERS SEAT THAT ADJUSTS MANUALLY IS STUCK AND WILL NOT ADJUST. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THAT BECAUSE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS SOMETHING WAS PLACED UNDER THE SEAT CAUSING IT TO GET STUCK, IT IS NOT COVERED AND WANTS $900 TO FIX IT. MY PROBLEM IS THAT EVERYONE PUTS STUFF UNDER THEIR FRONT SEATS AND MYSELF AND EVERYONE I KNOW HAS HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE VERY FACT THAT SOMETHING PLACE UNDER A SEAT CAUSED THE SEAT TO GET STUCK IS ON ITS FACE AS A QUESTION OF FACT A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING. THAT CHRYSLER WOULD TREAT ME, A LONGTIME CUSTOMER MAKING HIS FIRST WARRANTY CLAIM THIS WAY BY REFUSING TO STAND BY ITS PRODUCTS AND FIX THIS SIMPLE PROBLEM CAUSES ME TO WANT TO WARN ANYONE THINKING OF BUYING A CHRYSLER OF CHRYSLER'S REFUSAL TO STAND BY ITS PRODUCTS FOR THIS SIMPLEST AND MOST OBVIOUS DESIGN OR OTHER FAILURE OF CHRYSLER WIN MAKING A CAR.

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)

MY RADIO/SCREEN RANDOMLY TURNS OFF FOR NO REASON. THIS STARTED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE IN AUG 2019

SUPPOSEDLY SOME RODENTS OR SOMETHING CHEWED THE WIRES IN THE JEEP AND THE EVAP, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE SOY USED IN THE WIRING. THIS RESULTED IN THE FUEL GAUGED INDICATING IT WAS EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK AND MADE IT FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NOT SURE OF HOW DANGEROUS OR HAZARDOUS THIS MAY HAVE BEEN BUT IT WAS ALARMING AND THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT, EVEN THOUGH THEY USED THE SOY WIRES.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY STREET THAT HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MPH I WAS ON MY WAY TO DROP MY CHILD OFF TO SCHOOL.THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND I GOT REALLY SCARED SO I HIT THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING THEY LOCKED. I TRIED AGAIN AND THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THEY DID NOT WORK. I WAS SO SCARED I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO I COULD'NT STOP THE CAR IT TURNED BACK ON BY ITSELF AND THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. SECOND TIME THE CAR MALFUNCTION MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO PICK UP A PIZZA AND WE PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND SO DID THE GPS SCREEN. IT CAME BACK ON RIGHT AWAY AND NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. THIRD OCCASION THAT I WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND IT MALFUNCTION WE GOT IN THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND TURNED THE CAR ON AS HE PUT IT DRIVE AS WE WERE LEAVING THE FRONT OF THE CAR LIKE THE WHEELS MADE A POPPING SOUND AND THE ENGINE GOT REALLY LOUD. THE ENGINE NOISE ONLY LASTED ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND WENT AWAY. MY HUSBAND DID TELL THE DEALER WERE WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND ALSO JEEP/CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. THERE IS A LIQUED COMING OUT OF THE BRAKES OR CALIPER THAT ITS YELLOW, THAT IS NOT SAVE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AS WELL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OR IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD US THE CAR MENTIONED TO MY HUSBAND THAT THE CAR IDLES AND THAT CAR DOES NOT DO THAT. ALSO WE WERE TOLD THAT

VEHICLE HAS 5700 MILES ON IT, THE RADIATOR RUPTURED A SEEM LEAK, THEN A LEAK IN THE AUXILIARY RADIATOR AND NOW BECAUSE IT OVERHEATED ONCE (FOR LESS THAN A MILE) THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

REMOTE SERVICES WOULDN'T WORK RADIO HAD TO BE REPLACED & NOW HEATED SEATS STAY ON BUT NOW MY STOP N GO DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. CAR IS IN SHOP ALL THE TIME WITH NO REAL RESOLUTION - I AM ONLY TRADING PROBLEMS.CAR HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT OR FROM A STOP FRONT WINDSHIELD MAJOR BLIND SPOT. 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!

ON OCT 23RD 2019 MY CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF IT WOULD STAY IN ACCESSORY MODE THEN EVERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED IT FROM ON AUG 6 A WEEK LATER THEY SAID IT WAS A AIR BAG MODULE PROBLEM. A WEEK LATER THEY SAID THEY WERE HAVING A PROBLEM LOCATING THE PART. NOW IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND I STILL DONT HAVE A CAR.*DT*JB*DT*JB

2019 JEEP RENEGADE LATITUDE PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN APRIL 2019. BURING OIL ISSUES: (FIRST STARTED ON 8/27) - 4600 MILES IN. LOW PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO ADD 3 QUARTS OF OIL SAE 0-20. DIDN'T CONTACT DEALER THOUGHT THEY JUST MISS CALCULATED THE QUARTS OF OIL AND ADDED IT MYSELF. (8/31) -4698 MILES IN. GOT THE FIRST OIL CHANGE (A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER I ADDED 3 QUARTS) JUST TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS A FULL 5.5 QUARTS STARTING FRESH). (10/22) -6980 MILES IN. (ONLY 2000+ MILES INTO NEW OIL CHANGE) NOW THE "OIL CHANGE REQUIRED" LIGHT IS ON, BEING LOW ON OIL. I HAVE A SERVICE DATE SCHEDULED WITH THE JEEP DEALER FOR 11/2/2019. I'M NOT TOPPING IT OFF THE OIL ON PURPOSE OUT SO THEY CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THE WAY IT IS AND IT'S RECORDED. ALSO BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM (THEIR ARE MAY). SEEMS THE 2.4L ENGINE IS BURNING THROUGH OIL (AVERAGING 1 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES). THIS IS DANGEROUS AND TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE STALLS IN MID-DRIVE AND GETS KILLED. SOME PEOPLE EXPERIENCE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL UNTIL IT'S HAPPENING. I'M SURE THE DEALER WILL COME UP WITH MANY EXCUSES ON 11/2 SO I'M BEING PRO-ACTIVE WITH REPORTING MY ISSUES. I'M JUST SURPRISED WITH ALL ON-GOING REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS I READ ONLINE THE 2.4L ENGINES EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION IS NOT ALREADY A MAJOR PRIORY RECALL FOR THE JEEP RENEGADE. SAFETY NEEDS TO COME

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 2000 MILES AND THE BRAKES ARE MAKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.
