2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I just bought a 2018 jeep Renegade 4 month ago Carmax, so far 6 times, the engine. Just shuts off, last time my wife going on the freeway. I'm afraid that someone may get killed. Is they anything you can do to help is there a recall. We bought extended warrenty. Or is the car a lemon
