Reported Dec 10, 2024 · 2,135 vehicles affected · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

Risk: The incorrect reverse lights may have reduced visibility, and not alert pedestrians and other drivers that the vehicle is backing up, increasing the risk of a crash.

Air Bags · reported Nov 2, 2026
My 2022 Jeep Renegade continues to experience an intermittent front-passenger seat-belt warning and audible chime even when an adult passenger is properly seated and the seat belt is securely fastened. The warning activates and deactivates unpredictably. I have also experienced intermittent "Service Airbag" warnings. The vehicle was subject to FCA Safety Recall 82B (NHTSA Recall 24V-510), involving front seat-belt buckle switch electrical connections. Capital Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in [XXX], reportedly completed the recall repair in XXX, including work on the front seat-belt buckle switch…
Electrical System · reported 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 prevent airbags from deploying in a crash, risking serious injury or death. I have now been without my…
Engine · reported Sep 4, 2026
Engine oil leak. My mechanic found an engine oil leak that is very substantial. I have spoken to several other Jeep renegade owners who have stated that theirs is also leaking. These need to be checked out by an authorized deal ASAP due to the danger of fire. I smell burning all the while I am driving it and constantly adding oil. Mine is a 2022 model Jeep renegade and I have owned it since 2024. I need to have this repaired or Ill need to get rid of it. I think the dealership I bought it from knew there was a problem but neglected to inform me as I would not have bought it.
Electrical System · reported Aug 13, 2026
There is something wrong with this jeep. I keep getting collision messages four-wheel-drive pops on and off on its own and randomly states that it needs to be serviced. The Jeep is hard to accelerate randomly on highway speeds going over 45. The Jeep also drives like a boat despite your front end or back in issues, new tires, etc.. The oil light comes on even when all light is changed it goes in limp mode, which is dangerous the vehicle keeps requiring software updates. It’s not a very good model to be driving and it’s unsafe on a highway and it’s very expensive just to even be looked at…
Engine · reported Jul 21, 2026
While having my car serviced my mechanic informed me that I have an oil leak (and told me time to get rid of it). He did some searching and found that there is a safety-related issue and to take it to a dealer for repair. I have only had this jeep barely over two years. I have been smelling the car hot while driving it or after turning it off. Even my daughter has commented on it. There has only been one dash light come on but I don't remember what it was. My mechanic is keeping an eye on it. The car also stalls out seeming to want to quit while driving it and it will surge (kinda jump ahead)…
