2018 Jeep Renegade problems
The Jeep Renegade is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Stellantis under their Jeep marque. It was first shown to the public in March 2014 at the Geneva Motor Show and production started in late August of that year. The Renegade was the smallest vehicle currently marketed by Jeep, until the arrival of the Avenger. It slots between the Avenger and the Compass. It is based on the FCA Small Wide 4×4 platform which is also shared with other FCA models, including from Fiat and Alfa Romeo brands.
The Renegade came standard with front-wheel drive, with optional four-wheel drive systems Active Drive I and Active Drive Low, both of which are paired with Jeep's Selec-Terrain System.
Overview
The Renegade is the first Jeep product to be produced exclusively outside of North America and has been sold in the North American, European, Brazilian, South African, Australian, Japanese and Chinese markets. The vehicle is built in Melfi, Italy with the designation BU/520, alongside the related Fiat 500X; Goiana, Brazil with the designation B1 (alongside Jeep Compass and Fiat Toro); and in Guangzhou, China codenamed BQ.
Standard Renegade models come with front-wheel drive, with four-wheel drive available on Sport, Latitude and Limited trims. In the US, the lineup consists of Sport, Latitude and Limited trims, all of which come with a choice of front- and four-wheel drive, as well as the Trailhawk trim, which is 4WD only.
The Renegade has an available My Sky dual-panel removable roof. The My Sky can be either retracted like a standard sunroof or removed completely for a more open-air experience, similar to that of the Jeep Wrangler.

Common 2018 Jeep Renegade problems
The 2018 Jeep Renegade has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. One of the most widespread issues is excessive oil consumption, which has been reported within the first 25,000 miles. This problem is due to piston ring issues that allow too much oil into the cylinders. Rebuilding the engine can fix this issue, but it can cost nearly $1,500. In some cases, the entire engine has been replaced, costing over $3,500.
Another problem that has been reported by 2018 Renegade owners is battery overheating, which can be dangerous as it can lead to explosions. The alternator is the most common source of the problem, and the charging cable on the alternator should be checked to ensure it is secure. If it is secure, then it is likely that the alternator core is the problem, which will need to be replaced for over $500.
The stereo system freezing is another issue that has been reported by some Renegade models within the first 5,000 miles. This problem can be improved with software updates for the touchscreen, which most dealerships will install as part of regular service for free. However, some dealerships may charge around $50 for the update.
The 2018 Jeep Renegade has two recalls. The first recall is for the voltage regulator, which can cause the engine to stall, and the second is for the fuel pump. Jeep will replace the voltage regulator and fuel pump on affected models for free.
While the 2018 Jeep Renegade has these common problems, it is still a reliable vehicle overall. One owner reported having no problems other than a nail in a tire, which is not uncommon for any vehicle. The Renegade is also known for its dependability and ability to handle long drives and snowy conditions. However, as with any vehicle, regular maintenance is essential to ensure its longevity.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-05-15
- VIN: ZACCJBBB7JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Radio display screen stopped working. Black screen. Back-up camera rendered unusable. Upon further research, this appears to be a common and expensive issue for Jeep Renegades that should be looked into by Jeep.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-15
- VIN: ZACCJABB5JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: My screen is not visible. Which doesnt allow me to use camera to reverse or backup with visibly seeing what behind through screen, which causes to be a hazard. Replacing will cause me tons of money that i dont have. Which mechanic stated there has been many jeeps that has had same problem.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-13
- VIN: ZACCJABB2JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: Radio has backup that went black. Cost is $1,200-$2,000 to get the radio fix. The map feature doesn’t work. Backup feature doesn’t work. I can’t adjust radio stations. I live in rural TN and need my radio to work for my protection. I live on social security. That would be my whole month paycheck. It should be covered.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-01
- VIN: ZACCJBAB2JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: The screen in the car has completely blacked out on me. Once in a blue moon it might come on but within 5 minutes it has lines running down the screen and eventually goes black. This leaves me without navigation leaving me to have to resort looking at my phone which is a much smaller screen. But the biggest thing is this leaves me without my backup camera. I have looked throughly online with so many other renegade owners having the same issue with no other resolution from dealerships other then complete replacement of the unit. Again I've seen 100s of forums or reddit post about this exact issue with 100s more people chiming in saying they have this exact issue.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-05
- VIN: ZACCJBCBXJP
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Screen began to slowly go black. It started with 1/4 of it black and is now at 3/4 black. Touch still works, but I am blindly touching without being able to see what I’m selecting. This affects the back up camera as well. Soon it will be completely blacked out and I will not have access to system options, back up camera, and other settings I can only access through the screen! This is a safety issue and secondly a major inconvenience. Dealership replacements are quoted to be $1,700+!!!
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-01
- VIN: ZACCJABBXJP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: in less than 50,000 miles my screen/radio unit that controls many features of the vehicle including heat/ac, rear camera view and radio/navigation tools, has stopped working completely. I'm seeing so many people having the same exact issue. Jeep would not help me with this issue without me paying a huge service fee to even confirm that it is broken.
VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-24
- VIN: ZACCJABBXJP
- Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: The rear windshield wiper hose is known to leak in these due to a poor design choice. The entire contents of the windshield washer fluid reservoir empties into the passenger compartment (typically into the rear passenger floorboard). Not only is the fluid being near the passengers a concern, but the reservoir drains completely in a matter of hours. In a snowy environment, you are now unable to clear salt spray crust from the windshield, greatly reducing visibility. I had my mechanic verify this today, and there are countless reports online of people having this issue. The dealer will "fix" it, but they replace things with the same substandard parts that are prone to failure. The dealer needs to have a more permanent fix that uses an actual hose, rather than a plastic carrier that breaks easily.
POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-11
- VIN: ZACCJBDBXJP
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: UNKNOWN Running lights and blinkers. Continually replace bulbs and either burn out black or just stop working. Possible wiring /electrical issues? Dashboard computer works at random. Ongoing for about a year. Last 3 months the dashboard lightning bolt light flashes along with the service engine light. it will lose power to move forward while in motion and at times loses steering power as well. Speed doesn't seem to matter. Can be going 65 mph or 25 mph and happens at random. Usually flashing bolt light disappears after vehicle is turned off and restarted but service engine light remains on for a few days but then disappears after that. Vehicle has been brought in to be repaired and diagnosed several times at different locations but since the warning lights on the dash disappear, the scan device doesn't detect an issue. Ongoing malfunction is potentially dangerous and very frightening despite how fast the vehicle is moving. Not sure how to move forward with resolution when nobody seems to find what is wrong with it? Money continually spent on trying to diagnose without resolution is frustrating and not knowing details puts others at risk as well. No active RECALLS and have not found or any prior RECALLS that would explain. Light issues are inconvenient but mentioned in the chance they are a component of the source of bigger issues that may include electrical , powertrain, etc.... *Dashboard warning lights along with loss of driving power has happened on multiple different occasions. in ADDITIONAL DETAILS BELOW I will record most current episode.
POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-15
- VIN: ZACCJABB4JP
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I bough this car in February with no knowledge of the prior lawsuit on these cars randomly stalling. The past month- my car has stalled multiple times, in the middle of the road and I lose all control. It is such a safety hazard because people will literally almost hit me. I have to hurry up and turn on the flashers and pull over and restart and try again. There is no warnings for this and once it stalls- the steering wheel locks as well! I thought it was bad gas but after doing all kinds of research , there was 2 previous recalls on this car for the same issue! If it was fixed, why is it still doing this? Now I’m in a contract for this car and can’t afford to take a hit to my credit but it literally scares me to drive it! Check engine light initially came on but since has disappeared. I have recorded my car doing this and honestly have just let it sit because I cannot afford a mechanical bill right now.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-01
- VIN: ZACCJBCB7JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: The rear view camera was glitchy for a few years until finally becoming completely disabled due to the car play system malfunctioning. I have blind spots on each side of the back of my car that do not allow me to check for oncoming traffic when backing out. This also includes looking out for pedestrians. It has come to my attention that this may be a manufacturing issue as multiple clients have complained about similar issues.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-01
- VIN: ZACCJBBB4JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The screen of the radio is going black, showing lines. Cannot view what is one the screen
SUSPENSION,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-29
- VIN: ZACCJBBB7JP
- Components: SUSPENSION,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
- Summary: Engine stall. The first time it happened I was going about 35 mph down the street and the car quit accelerating. Engine still running all the lights on did not notice any warning lights. Coasted into a parking lot. Turned off car and restarted and drove 1/2 block home. Read online to start car in auxiliary mode three or five times. Did that and did not have a problem. About 3 or so weeks later, it happened on the highway and almost caused a wreck. Very scary! I got to the side of the road 3 times. Restarted and barely would start driving and it would happen again. Had car towed to dealership and started claim with Jeep. They can not duplicate the problem and find no codes. Other issues: passenger car entry warning, head module? Or display will call people randomly, change radio stations and the reverse camera will come on while I'm driving, needs new struts ( only drive highway and in town ), uneven tire wear, auto windshield wipers does not work. Slow to shift out of first gear and jolts car when it shifts. Been at dealership for 3 weeks +

ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-07
- VIN: ZACCJABB7JP
- Components: ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Engine is the big problem. When I drive the engine randomly shuts off without any warning. I’ve been on the freeway when it shuts down and I don’t have enough time to get over to safety. And I fear for my life every time it happens. It’s a safety hazard for others around me as well because my car stops without warning and others are going full speed around me. We have taken it do the dealership, service center, auto shops and no one has an answer or solution for us. We took it to the jeep service center and they didn’t know what was going on. Other than that we haven’t taken it to a manufacturer. There were so symptoms or warnings before this was happening.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-10
- VIN: ZACCJABB6JP
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Screen went completely black. Does not work. Backup camera now useless. Cannot use any of the function on the screen because it is all black.
POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-07-08
- VIN: ZACCJBBB9JP
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
- Summary: Since I’ve owned the car. When we go above 70 on highways with cruise control and a/c on the car will randomly turn off and the speedometer will say I am going 0 miles an hour. This has happened 5 times, everytime we go on vacation. And everytime the dealership states they can not mimic the symptoms. So it never gets fixed. Read about a power trans chip that’s faulty. Should be my vehicle included in that problem.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-22
- VIN: ZACCJBCB7JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION
- Summary: The radio head unit (display monitor) has failed. I can not use backup camera, safety and security alerts. This problem is common across all Jeep renegades. No recall has been provided. These units cost $2,000 to replace at the dealer.
POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-20
- VIN: ZACCJBDB8JP
- Components: POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE
- Summary: Engine stalled (lost power) while driving on the interstate during rush hour traffic. I had to pull into emergency lane. This happened 3 times within an hour or so. We almost wrecked the car. Very scary and dangerous situation. I checked and there are no recalls with my VIN number. I’m not sure what to do now
STEERING,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-14
- VIN: ZACCJABB0JP
- Components: STEERING,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The primary components that failed in my 2018 Jeep Renegade, equipped with a 2.4L engine, include the electrical system and the fuel pump assembly. The vehicle has randomly reset its electrical equipment by morning and has turned off while driving, which stiffened the steering wheel without warning. These components should be available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and the safety of others were put at significant risk numerous times. The vehicle has randomly turned off while driving, causing the steering wheel to stiffen without any warning. This sudden loss of power and control in traffic is extremely dangerous and could easily lead to accidents. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the problem has been reproduced and confirmed by both a dealer and an independent service center. The dealers identified issues with the electrical system resetting and the engine turning off unexpectedly, but solutions have been inconsistent. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? Yes, the vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer and the dealership. The manufacturer has been notified of these issues, and the dealership performed diagnostic tests, but the problem persists despite their interventions. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, there were no warning lamps or messages prior to the failures. The electrical system would reset by morning without any prior indication, and the vehicle would turn off while driving with no warning signs. These issues have occurred intermittently since I purchased the vehicle, putting me in dangerous situations multiple times.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-01-01
- VIN: ZACCJBBB3JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: Fan inside stereo has stopped working causing stereo screen to overheat and go black. Screen is hot to touch. No back up camera visible or any other controls. Have taken it into Jeep to be looked at and all the do is confirm the issue. $2000 to replace!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-30
- VIN: ZACCJABB4JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: My 2018 Jeep renegade touchscreen began delaminating and is causing the touchscreen to malfunction, hitting many buttons and eventually just shutting off completely while driving. I live in Florida and the summer temperatures range from the 90s-mid hundreds and it is not safe to drive a vehicle where the electrical systems are erratic and shut off and then turn on again on their own.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-04
- VIN: ZACCJBCBXJP
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: • The fuel pump failed. Yes it's available for inspection • I was driving on a very busy road going about 55mph and the car stalled. I was able to coast to the shoulder of the road to avoid being rear-ended. This put my life at risk along with the other drivers if I was not able to safely get to the side of the road. • I am not able to reproduce the issue as my vehicle will not start after the incident. It has not been confirmed yet by another party as it just happened this morning. • It has not been inspected yet. • There were not warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the vehicle dying. I was driving this morning (6/4/2024), going up a slight incline going about 55mph and the fuel pump stopped working and my engine cut off off in the middle of traffic.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-24
- VIN: ZACCJBCB2JP
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: the screen in the center console has been in the process of delaminating and has recently become un-usable. If turned on, the effect of delamination (separation of the glue between the LCD and digitizer) results in pushed buttons, unintentional phone calls, and unwanted setting changes. This is disruptive while driving and unsafe since the center console controls a number of functions inside the car.

Great vehicle! I've been driving it without any issues. I made a great choice in buying this vehicle.
-
I'm so glad to hear that you love your car! It sounds like it's the perfect vehicle for handling any type of weather, whether it's snowy or dry outside.
-
I've only had this car for about a week, but so far it's been exactly what I needed. It doesn't feel small at all when driving, despite its size. There's plenty of room for my dog in the backseat, which is great. While the fuel efficiency could be better, I've been doing a lot of local driving, so that could be having an impact.
-
The vehicle is well assembled, everything matches and there are no gaps. The engine, for a four cylinder, is quite peppy and the transmission is smooth. Driving in the mountains from sea level to 7000' is not a problem at all. The interior is well laid-out and, as someone who is 6'5

I've owned this vehicle for 3 years now and it has been incredibly reliable. All I've needed to do is oil changes and tire rotations. When I first got it, I was getting around 22mpg around town, but after about 8 months, it slowly climbed to 24.4mpg and has held steady ever since. It's an excellent winter vehicle with great traction. I'm very happy with my lease purchase. My lease was up this year and I leased a 2021 Jeep Cherokee. When I turned in my Renegade with 32,500 miles, the brakes and tires were still the original ones. The Trailhawk model came with 4 free oil and tire rotations, which were performed at approximately 6,000 mile intervals. The only expenses I've had in 3 years, other than the lease payment, were yearly inspections, emissions, and gas.

Lance Kemmer 2024-11-09
I've had my Jeep for almost a year now, and while I love its Easter eggs, dual-sunroofs, and spaciousness, I've had a few issues with it. About three months after purchasing it, I had already put 12,000 miles on it, which is quite a lot. One night, I had a close call with a deer, but thankfully, I was able to brake in time to avoid a serious accident. Unfortunately, my car wouldn't start after that incident, and I had to get it towed. It took a while and cost quite a bit of money to get it fixed, but I'm glad to have it back. A few months later, I got a flat tire because of faulty stock tires, and I had to get it towed again. It was frustrating, but I'm glad I was able to get it fixed. Lastly, I had a bit of an embarrassing moment when a piece of plastic fell out from under my car while driving on an uneven highway. It was a bit of a nuisance, but I was able to get it fixed. Overall, I still enjoy driving my Jeep, but it can be a bit expensive for a grocery getter.
Nicholas Ruecker 2024-10-16
The car purchased in 2021 has been experiencing issues with sluggishness, a knocking sound when turning off, and has even died on me twice recently. Although the battery has been replaced, it is clear that the issue is not related to the battery. I am confident that a thorough inspection will identify and resolve the underlying issue.
Ulices Bradtke 2024-09-26
I've owned several cars, and while I appreciate the 4WD and technology in my Renegade, I'm ready for something new. Unfortunately, I've experienced some issues with it, such as hard shifting, slow acceleration, and poor gas mileage. Additionally, it seems to consume oil at a high rate. In fact, I had an oil change recently, and two weeks later, my car shut off due to a lack of oil. This has happened multiple times. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this car to others.
Rhett Hill 2024-07-10
Although the front wheel drive may struggle in snowy conditions, the vehicle still manages to achieve an impressive 30 MPG. While the stock tires may not be the best, with 12000 miles on the clock, this vehicle still performs well. I appreciate the opportunity to share my experience and will take this into consideration for future purchases.
Ken Donnelly 2024-04-21
It's a nice truck! The brakes are good, but there is a blind spot. Otherwise, it's a great choice.
