2022 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed Oct 22, 2026


The Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Tampa, Florida dealership fraudulently marked my safety recall as completed in 2024, despite never performing the repair. I have driven this vehicle for two years believing my major airbag safety recall was addressed, when it was not. The Vancampen Motors Inc - Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Ram in Williamsport PA physically confirmed the recall connector was still installed, and I photographed it with the mechanic. The mechanic explained that this defect could…

2020 JEEP RENEGADE

-Timing Chain. Yes it is available for inspection. 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 through oil changes, transmissions flushes, and general upkeep. A Timing Chain is supposed to last the lifetime of a vehicle. Not 50,000 miles. Instant loss of engine power and…

2019 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed Oct 17, 2026


My Screen went out on my Jeep renegade a few years after I bought it new. I brought it up to Mopar and they did nothing. I do not have a backup camera due to this. Not having a backup camera maker driving more difficult. I have read 1,000's of people with same issue.

2016 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed Oct 13, 2026


While driving on the freeway at approximately 65 mph with my family in the vehicle, including my fiancée, my [XXX] son, and my fiancée’s mother, the engine suddenly began making a grinding noise that lasted approximately 10 seconds. The engine then began knocking, and the vehicle abruptly shut off, leaving me unable to continue driving. I was forced to maneuver toward the nearest available safe location, but there was no immediately safe place to pull over. I narrowly avoided being hit by…

2015 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed Oct 12, 2026


My 2015 Jeep Renegade dropped into neutral at highway speeds. While Jeep claims the VIN is not covered under safety recall S55, the vehicle is suffering from the exact physical safety defect described in that recall, and that the alternative W84 customer program has left your car completely unsafe to drive. I found the dealership receipt for W84 and it says incomplete. I have to rent a car so I can go to work until this is fixed. Please add my VIN to safety recall S55. Thank you

2017 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed Oct 12, 2026


This vehicle suffers from a severe, documented manufacturing defect where the engine silently and rapidly consumes motor oil without leaving any puddles on the ground. The vehicle recently consumed all of its oil down to a completely dry dipstick between routine service intervals, presenting a critical engine-stalling hazard while driving at highway speeds. Sudden engine stalling on a major highway creates an immediate risk of a severe rear-end collision and compromises power steering and…

2016 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed Sep 23, 2026


There is an emissions recall on this Jeep; it is currently at the dealership for the repairs. In order to reach the part that must be replaced in order to complete the recall, there is a bolt that is sheared off. The dealership is telling us that we have to pay $3,800 in order to replace the head, because of the bolt being sheared off. This bolt must be removed in order to complete the recall but they are refusing to do this repair at no cost. They cannot do the recall work without removing…
