while the vehicle was being driven at highway speed, a large piece of roof trim detached from the vehicle and went airborne. The piece measures approximately 6 inches by 42 inches, and is stiff plastic. My jeep renegade has the MySky sunroof option, and this trim is a piece that sit just forward of those panels, filling the gap between the sunroof and the metal of the windshield frame. To be clear, this piece is not part of the sunroof itself, it is supposed to be a permanently attached and…

2017 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed Jun 14, 2026


I am reporting a safety issue with my 2017 Jeep Renegade. Since approximately 2022, my vehicle has repeatedly stalled while I am driving. When this happens, the battery light and multiple warning lights come on across the dashboard. Messages such as Shift to Park appear, the steering becomes very difficult to control, and the brakes become hard to use. This creates a dangerous situation because the vehicle loses power while I am operating it on public roads. After the vehicle stalls, it often…

2018 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed Jun 8, 2026


I am writing to report a severe safety defect regarding my 2018 Jeep Renegade. The vehicle suffers from an extreme internal oil consumption defect, burning 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles. According to certified automotive diagnostics, this is five times the normal operating rate. This rapid oil depletion causes the vehicle to abruptly lose power, stall, and completely shut down while driving in active traffic without warning.

The my sky sunroof on this vehicle will open but not close. It has been a problem since the vehicle was purchased in 2018. It has been in and out of Central Avenue Chrysler Jeep for repairs. There are two cases with Jeep customer care. The sunroof was supposedly repaired in Octover 2024 but it still never operates properly. Now the sunroof is frozen in the open position. Even the dealership cannot get it to close. This is a safety hazard - I don't know if parts will fly off while driving…

2021 JEEP RENEGADE

Filed May 23, 2026


The component that failed, or I think is failing is the forward collision warning thing on my car. If the component actually went off, I could have cause a multiple car crash depended on who was behind me while I was driving. It has been reproduced by multiple drivers based on my research. The vehicle component has been inspected by police, lemon law firms and manufacturers and confirmed that it is an issue. No warning lamps or messages appeared, it came up multiple times randomly while I was…

2021 JEEP RENEGADE

The infotainment/radio system in this 2021 Jeep Renegade has been malfunctioning for nearly two years. The dealership repeatedly states that no replacement parts are available and no repair can currently be performed. The system intermittently fails, freezes, reboots, or goes blank. When this occurs, the rear backup camera becomes unavailable or nonfunctional, creating a significant safety concern while reversing. The failure also makes it impossible to use the vehicle’s navigation system and…
