2018 JEEP RENEGADE Complaints

The radio screen is glitching and only showing about 1/4 of the screen this inhibits me from seeing the back up camera or GPS on the screen. This is a safety concern.

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

Radio screen had lines going up and down, goes black while driving, car play disconnects, backup camera won’t work with lines going across screen or screen being black,

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.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while attempting to reverse out of the driveway at approximately 5 MPH, the rear-view camera failed to properly operate. The contact stated that the screen was blue and then turned black. The contact stated afterward only half of the screen was displaying an image. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired because the vehicle was not under recall. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,500.

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.

The touch screen has been an issue It does not come on. It his controls the heated steering wheel and cannot be shut off which then over eats and makes it impossible to touch. The screen controls the heated seats and the heat in general.

My touchscreen stopped working and is showing black lines and will go completely black

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for regular maintenance, and while the vehicle was being serviced, the contact was notified of a manufacturer recall related to a possible oil consumption failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle should be returned after driving for 1,500 miles for a consumption test. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to the oil consumption test. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The contact stated that he was informed by the dealer that the engine had been replaced; however, after retrieving the vehicle the oil consumption failure persisted. The contact returned the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that there was no documentation that the engine had been replaced. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and was repaired again under recall however, after returning the vehicle for service, the contact was informed that the engine was 2-quarts low on engine oil and there was no leak found. The contact was concerned that the engine might need to be replaced and the repair might be out of pocket. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 41,000.

My Jeep has incredibly high oil consumption. I am putting a quart of oil in every two weeks even after an oil change. My car also stalls intermittently, it has even turned completely off on the freeway. The electrical in my car goes in and out and my display for my radio is completely blacked out.
