2022 JEEP RENEGADE Electrical System Problems

Since May 2024, my 2022 Jeep Renegade Sport has developed serious safety-related issues involving the fuel/propulsion system, power train, and electrical systems. Specific incidents include: Strong fuel vapor odor detected both inside and outside the vehicle, even when parked, raising inhalation and ignition hazard concerns. Initial diagnosis of leaking transmission fluid under the vehicle (later reclassified as engine oil), with ongoing erratic shifting, severe throttle lag, and violent shaking at highway speeds. Electrical system failures including odometer flashing, GPS malfunctions, and false collision warning system alerts. The vehicle has been inspected multiple times by an authorized dealership. No lasting repairs were made, and the manufacturer (FCA US LLC / Stellantis) denied multiple repurchase or replacement requests, despite safety concerns. Safety risks include potential inhalation of toxic vapors, engine or transmission failure while driving, and reduced control during expressway driving. These conditions have left the vehicle unsafe and inoperable. I have...

The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that upon coming to a complete stop, the engine STOP/START system failed to activate, with the message "STOP/START” not charging displayed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the intelligent battery sensor. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that he also owns a 2023 Jeep Renegade that had experienced the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 7,000.

My 2022 Jeep Renegade VIN TAG: [XXX] has had another issue pop up, I’m still having the vehicle shutdown and other issues. But recently I lost my headlights on now 3 different occasions starting on [XXX]. Now about a week ago I lost both front Daytime Running Lights both Front Marker Lights and both Front Signal Lights ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I was told by BAY Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Panama City, FL it happens but when I called my dealership back in Connecticut Papa’s Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram they told me I might lose a light or 2 but now ALL 6 at the Same Time and Definitely NOT LED’s with these extremely low hours on it. They thought it might be a voltage surge or something like that, I was told to take it into them and have a diagnostic done and also have the lights...

I have taken the car in since first oil change with an electrical issue. It still has not been resolved. The abs light, air bag, start stop and seat belt lights and sounds would go off. Potentially causing a whole host of issues. There is still no fix and this will be for fourth time I have taken it the dealer.

Sensors randomly come on dash such as seatbelt that beeps even with the seatbelt on. Or the parking break light in which there has been a couple cases where it made the car turn off while rolling and engages parking break all on its on. It is ridiculous something needs to happen to get this issue fixed

First NO WARNINGS Signs of Any Kind were shown at time of 1st & 3rd issues, 1st under hard acceleration or deceleration and sometimes while in turns under acceleration & deceleration you get a Large Bang from underneath the vehicle and it’s not only the sound but feels like the vehicle gets hit but it’s not. 2nd thing I observed dashboard lights suddenly starting to blink and these included warnings for seatbelts, forward collision warning but nothing was there, airbags, 4wheel drive lights and issues, and the engine trouble lights on dashboard along with it turning off and not restarting. 3rd thing that has happened 3 times 2 times on regular roads and once entering the highway while at the top of the Rte-15 South Ramp in CT after driving the vehicle at about 60mph-65mph the vehicle shuts down like when stopped at a light but your now entering a...

When traveling down the road immediately after starting the Jeep the engine coolant hot indicator light comes on and the car engine shuts down and the steering wheel locks. The engine coolant is not hot since the car was just started. To fix issue at that moment I had to bring car to a complete stop in the middle of the road ( very dangerous ) and wait a few seconds and then try to restart the car. This problem has happened several times over the past two years. The dealership has examined the car and can not find any answers on how to fix the problem. I found there are thousands of other owner complaints on line about this issue with the Jeep Compass model. I want to add my complaint to the pile of complaints already registered with Chrysler Jeep. This issue could get someone killed on a...

First, this vehicle is burning 1 quart of oil every 750 miles. Being unaware, when driving, engine shudder and tried to fail, making me unable to accelerate through an intersection. When trying to accelerate, the vehicles RPMs extend above 4 if I don’t accelerate at an extremely slow pace. I can not get up to speed quickly when going on to a freeway. The vehicle collision warning continues to malfunction. Had it fixed again recently. Gas is burning faster than it should be because of the high RPMs and engine working so hard. I have 2 children, and got this vehicle brand new so I’d have reliable transportation. After the first month, I no longer felt safe driving it. Dealership keeps telling me everything is normal. These are not normal issues for a car. It’s a lemon.

I purchased the vehicle at 15 miles and about 2 months after purchase while driving, the front collision warning light came on and there was no reason why the light came on. I took it to the draler and was told it will take some time to find out the problems, needed to leave my car and would not providr a loaner or rental. 6 days go, the seatbelt sign, emergency brake, parking break, airbag, and automatic break light all turn on when I start the vehicle. However yesterday as I was driving, all the lights turned on. The seatbelt sound also turns on even though I am wearing my seatbelt. Im afraid the brakes will stop working or the airbag will detonate. I pulled over to turn off the car and start it with hopes the lights turn off. Sometimes it works and others it does not.

My vehicle, Jeep Renegade only has 5,526 miles on it and I purchased it brand new on June 11th 2022. On Monday, October 10th 2022 at approximately 1325 hours, I was driving the vehicle in the left lane on the Grand Central Parkway, a major highway in NYC, when the vehicle shut down on its own in moderate traffic. Every instrument light (Dummy Light) went on however the car did not turn off. I tried to turn the vehicle off but it wouldn’t! I feared for my life as other cars barely avoided me!! I waited in the left lane for 3-5 minutes then the vehicle was able to slowly move but without power steering and all the instrument lights still on. I eventually got the vehicle off the highway to safety! The vehicle was towed to Town and Country Jeep in Levittown NY where I purchased the vehicle. The...
