NHTSA lists 2 safety recalls and 21 owner complaints for the 2023 Jeep Renegade. Most complaints involve electrical system (11) and forward collision avoidance (5). The EPA rates it 24–26 mpg combined, and NHTSA gives it 4 stars overall.
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Jeep Renegade vehicles. The incorrect bumper reverse light assembly may have been installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
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.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“Vehicle intermittently drops engine power. Dealership found 35 stored fault codes and vehicle has repeatedly blown the F03 fuse causing a no start condition. This has happened repeatedly making this vehicle a severe collision hazard. Dealership, Southern Dodge Chrysler Jeep Fiat, Norfolk Virginia has not found the root cause after 400.00 dollars in diagnostic fee's. Manufacturer Stallantis opened a case number then closed the case number due to the dealership not able to duplicate issue in the service bay.”
“When driving we can be a football field distance away from any moving vehicle and then forward collision safety feature activates. This has happened several times and could have ended badly if someone was behind us in traffic.”
“While driving, the auto stop/start light illuminated, the airbag light illuminated and the auto parking brake illuminated. The seat belt sign also lit up and would continuously chime even through the seatbelt was plugged in. All the indications would intermittently come on and off.”
