The jeep Renegade with the issue is a 2020 (in serv, in August 2020) -While driving the Timing Chain broke and we lost all engine power and power steering, barely making it to the shoulder of the road without causing an accident. I have meticulously cared for this car…

Mar 28, 2026 · Electrical system · crash reported

Infotainment system is highly defective even after replacement. The screen goes black, shows white lines and you're left unable to use your backup camera! After doing research this problem stems all the way back to 2016 renegades with the same system.

Mar 23, 2026 · Unknown or other

Dashboard screen is out. I am unable to use the back up camera feature nor any Dashboard feature.

Feb 9, 2026 · Air bags · crash reported

I was in an head on colisin and neither of my front airbags deployed

Dec 10, 2025 · Engine

My 2020 Jeep Renegade has been burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles or so. Im sure many people do not check it as consistently as i do. Burning oil im sure is hard on the spark plugs, catalitic converters, and the emissions.
