2021 JEEP RENEGADE Unknown Or Other Problems

Head unit for the radio has gone blank. Soft and battery reset did not restore function. Unable to use back up camera.

I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2021 Jeep Renegade. In cold weather, the driver’s door will not latch shut and can open by itself while driving. The door may appear closed but fails to remain secured, creating a significant safety risk. An authorized Jeep dealership inspected the vehicle and confirmed moisture intrusion affecting the latch and release cable. They recommended replacement with updated components. This failure aligns with Stellantis Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 75567, which addresses latch issues. I have opened a case with Stellantis (case #95335285) and have repeatedly sought resolution. However, I have been unable to obtain help or speak with a case manager, leaving the issue unresolved. No repair has been performed yet. Since a door that does not remain closed is a serious safety risk, I am requesting NHTSA’s assistance in reviewing this safety concern. Thank you for your attention.

I drive the 2021 Jeep Renegade SUV and out of the blue my touchscreen just went out. The radio still works but the screen stopped working for no reason. This is huge outage endangers the public when backing up because I can't see anything on the screen when reversing. That's where the backup camera shows people or objects that might be behind my vehicle. I can't control features like the AC, Heat, GPS and other features associated with the touchscreen. This is dangerous outage that should be recalled and fixed by the manufacturer.

Sunroof got stuck open and when inspected at a body shop it was found to have several broken parts inside the mechanism. Sunroof was rarely used and was not handled roughly ever. No warning was given that the sunroof was broken or needing attention until it completely malfunctioned. It is apparent this has been an expensive and recurring problem with Jeep Renegades for others as well.

Uconnect system/radio screen visually not working appropriately. Gets glitchy lines and will go black. Flip upside down. And blurr together. Screen will respond to touch even when not visually able to see anything. This will happen at random even when using back up cameras which is dangerous will go completely black when trying to use screen in any way. No damage to screen. Car is 2021 should not be having issues with screen already this is a safety hazard especially because using backup camera screen goes completely black.

The screen for the control panel is going out. I have researched online and at least 100 other people are having the same issue. This screen plays a big part in the safety features available on the vehicle. I believe that Jeep should look further into this issue. If it were one or two vehicles, yes, that's isolated. The fact remains s that is an issue that begins at the factory.

All of my warning/service lights came on, my car wouldn’t accelerate, one of the warning lights said it had to be in stop to brake and start, my dash won’t light up which shows my fuel levels, other info. My car stopped in traffic completely, I had you out my four ways on, hit the start/stop button. It was so scary!

The radios in these jeep not fair mine start glitching then went out last year can’t afford to fix it there are a lot complaints about radio screens not fair then ur warranty expired cost thousands to fix can’t use nothing camera heated seats nothing this is a problem need to be recalled immediately very unsatisfied with Jeep horrible truck just not fair

The radio screen is not working properly it fuzzes up I can't use my backup camera it's a well-known issue on the jeep forum and many other forums. Perfect helps me control a lot of my safety features in which I can't get into because it's not working properly my car is not even 3 years old yet and as far as I've seen other

Air Conditioning Failed Dangerous driving conditions due to overheated Driver in hot weather. Spent over $200 at Briggs Firestone to inspect AC does not work. With mileage at 46,000 miles, they told me to take back to dealer, which is John L Sullivan. I took it back to John L Sullivan, they did not want to help, they wanted my money.

Vehicle stalls at random times. Dealership service center unable to duplicate problem. Vehicle was first brought in for repairs before 2 years or 24,000 miles but computer wasn’t giving a code. Took vehicle for repairs on February 28 and picked it up on March 2. I received a phone call prior to picking up my vehicle from the service advisor. He informed me that now Chrysler is aware of this issue and is trying to come up with a solution to repair it. I called the owner of the dealership and asked if he could get me a replacement vehicle and he said he has nothing to do with the lemon law. It’s between Chrysler and myself. I am being forced to drive an unsafe vehicle that just stalls at random times. The owner said that my vehicle is the only vehicle sold from his dealership that has this issue...

When vehicle is in Auto Drive it stalls. When foot is taken of the brake pedal, vehicle does not automatically start. All lights and accessories are on and work but vehicle will not start. It takes several attempts to start vehicle. This happens when stopped at a light, a stop sign, sitting in traffic and most recently backing up. Dealer service center unable to find problem. This started after driving the vehicle for 11 months. Most recently it stalled four times in 24 hours.

Sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving. No apparent cause (e.g. no reason to suspect a rock or other debris hitting the glass)

On Saturday, April 30th our brand new 2021 Jeep Renegade's front passenger window spontaneously exploded. The window inexplicably exploded before we even made our first car payment and we have captured the event on our garage's Wyze camera. Luckily no one was injured but an event like this could have killed someone. Jim Marsh Dealership claimed to have never seen this before, despite there being numerous claims online of consumers reporting exploding windows and sunroofs. We are still getting the run around from Jim Marsh Jeep and Jeep Wave. Both parties have been far more concerned with who has to pay the towing charge rather than show any concern or regard for our safety or the safety of other consumers. There either needs to be a warning label on all tempered glass windows, some sort of protective film needs to be placed over all tempered glass windows, or every consumer...

ON SUNDAY 1/17/21, MY DAUGHTER'S HUSBAND LEASED A CAR FROM THE DEALER LISTED ABOVE. HE LEASED A 2021 FULLY LOADED JEEP RENEGADE AFTER ONLY TWO DAYS OF HAVING THE CAR, WE GOT THE WARNING ON THE DASH THAT SAID "STEREO SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE". THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED ALL SAFETY FEATURES TO TURN OFF AS WELL AS THE SPECIAL KENWOOD SOUND SYSTEM THAT WE PAID EXTRA FOR AS A PART OF THE LUXURY GROUP ADD ON. MY HUSBAND LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE HIMSELF AND IT STATED THAT IT HAD BEEN GOING ON IN THIS CAR SINCE THE 2018 MODEL. THE NEXT TIME HE GOT INTO THE CAR, IT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF DAILY. FINALLY AFTER A WEEK OF OWNING THE CAR WE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT BUT DUE TO THE WEEKEND, MONDAY MORNING WE CALL THE DEALER AND GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR TUESDAY MORNING....
