The passenger safety belt latch comes undone for no reason. This happens frequently. We always check to make sure it is properly fastened with the clicking sound. While driving, the buckle comes unlatched causing a safety issue. I have taken my Jeep to the Jeep Dealer and they stated there are no recalls on this particular ID and that both safety belt systems will have to be replaced for $700. This is a safety hazard due to a defective safety belt system.

Car stalled in the middle of the busy road with no warning when accelerating from a right turn between 12-24 mph and a "low oil pressure sensor" light displayed and disappeared for 3 seconds. Received oil change that day and Valvoline did not mention any concerns about oil level. The next day, my car had been driving for 10+ min and struggled to accelerate out of light, specifically in range of 30-45 mph and the RPMs shot up to 3000. Car kept running but struggled to down shift. Terrified of this happening on my daily interstate and state roads drive, especially in winter!!! Taking to dealership service department to hopefully get this huge safety issue fixed.

Related to recall V54, Engine Cooling Fan abruptly stopped working causing the vehicle to overheat and having to have costly dealer repairs. I was told that my VIN # was not included in the the recall but did experience the exact Issue listed in recall. Replaced Fan not knowing about this recall only to still have engine computer issues now with vehicle related to overheating. Currently at a dealership with a month waiting time to repair.

This car is a lemon and the entire car should be a recall. Shortly after having it I had to replace the tires , brakes , suspension. Then just a couple months ago I had a sediment in the coolant that is very rare and the only time the mechanic experienced that was on recall cars where (not sure if I am saying this correctly) dust is left when they cast the engine in production. And it takes years for it to build up and destroy your car. Now it’s at jeep in Dade city Fl and they said the engine is bad … after spending $950 on the sediment issue. Another $980 a couple weeks ago for battery , spark plugs , computer software update etc. now they want another $700 just to open my engine up and see what’s wrong. I am done. So as of now I have no car. Jeep only offered me $2k to buy it from me. And I still owe $12k. And I put about $3k into it in the last 5 months. This should be illegal to sell a lemon like this and leave a consumer like me more than $12k out. And from my research. Many others have the same complaint. Something legally should be done about this.

THE MYSKY FEATURE ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ALONG WITH OTHERS VEHICLE HAS BROKE AND NOT WORKING. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR ALOT OF US IS THE BRACKETS THAT SLIDE THE ROOF OPEN AND CLOSE ARE BREAKING VERY EASILY. THERE ARE MANY JEEP RENEGADE USERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO SAID THE SAME THAT THEY FIX ALOT OF THESE ISSUES AND ARE NOT COVERED. THIS CAN ALSO BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS AN ESCAPE FROM A VEHICLE IF THE DOORS BECOME UNABLE TO OPEN.
