Engine continuously leaks oil. Oil is all over under carriage. This has been a recurring problem that the dealer has tried to fix. Oil is all over our garage floor. If we do not monitor the oil level it could run out of oil. This vehicle is one year old and has had one recall and five attempts to fix an oil leak.

I have a 2023 Renegade 4x4. There are several current operating issues and a few which cause an extreme safety hazard: Service forward collision warning light is on Says brake lights out Says left turn signal is out Parking light out Driver seatbelt light Passenger seatbelt light Push to start button - stop/start unavailable Parking brake Airbag light Car turned off when foot idle and parking brake activated Car jolts when foot is taken off of accelerator pedal at 45+mph Car enters into forward collision prevention mode with there is not a vehicle in front. If the vehicle believes the seatbelts are not worn and there are issues with the airbag sensors then there is an extreme safety issue in the event of a collision.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2023 Jeep Renegade verdict →
