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.
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.
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.
The windshield is plagued by millions of dense specks that significantly impair visibility, especially when a light source is shone at it. This presents a significant safety hazard while driving, as it makes it difficult to see the road and the traffic clearly. So far the component hasn-??t been inspected, but making a quick search on the internet revealed that there is plenty on unsolved situations like this one with similar vehicles.
Windshield wiper fluid leaking and is now leaking throughout the car.. it is leaking around the electrical wires in the front drivers side of the car under the carpet. Audio light on in car and also a lot of electrical problems on drivers side door
So I've had my 2018 Jeep Renegade for about approximately 9 months and about 2 months ago my radio started turning off and on by itself and this happens when driving and sometimes right when I turn the car on. And at the same time the windshield wipers sprayer that clean the windows stoped working and the bottle of windshield wiper fluid is filled and there's no rust or erosion on the hole where it sprays from.
Windsheild cracks very easily I live in Arizona all automobiles on the highway will have pebbles or small debris hit the windsheild. In the first week, I can tell by the sound but the smallest rock cracked my sheild. I took it in to hope the warranty would cover. They told me use my insurance and file a claim on the way home anther small rock hit my windsheild and I have anther crack. Ive owned many vehicles in Arizona never hacve I have never seen a winshiled break so easily and if I get a claim submitted weekly my rates will go up... eveytime I go for a carwash there is several Jeep Renegades there getting there rock chips replaced or fixed.. im very disappointed there is not a recall or there not trying to fix the problem if I search online there is several people who. Complain on blogs. But Jeep refuses to admit theres an issue.
Purchased vehicle new from dealer stock in patchogue, NY, with trailhawk trim. Had it a little over a month, and have less than 1000 miles on it. Within the 1st week the windshield cracked and dealer refused to replace it even though it had a wave in it at eye level. Have seen other complaints about this online. At same time, we noticed a problem with climate control and dealer couldn't get us in to look at it for about a month. What happens is after the car is shut off and temp is left at say 72 in all zones, often when you restart the vehicle later or the next day it is no longer set to 72 and may be blasting superhot air at 90 or jump to low ac or anything in between. Its a completely random temperature having nothing to do with outside air temp. Also, doesn't happen with every restart. This car has the auto climate control feature too, but the issue happens whether we leave it on auto or manual. We also checked to make sure no one was knocking into the control with legs or handbags etc. Dealer service manager says this is "just how Jeep manufactured it", and "the Jeep engineers deliberately want the temperature to be random because its not a priority". this is my third Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicle, and the problem has not happened in either of the other two, so that it sounds to me like just a dealer being lazy and not wanting to fix the problem. I also called Jeep customer care and got little help so far. However, it is clear to me no engineer would ever design a car to be so deliberately inconvenient and potentially dangerous where you have to spend the first few moments in your car fiddling with digital temperature controls. Ever car I have ever driven stores your last temperature and resumes that temperature when you return. Did I mention we are extremely dissatisfied with this vehicle as a result and have already told many friends to avoid Jeep. Terrible.
I have stalled about 6 times while in motion on city street. Usually shortly after leaving. At 3,500 miles, turned the corner, stalled again. Not a drop of oil in it with no leaking, no smoke, no check oil or engine lights. Dealer said this is "normal". has stalled since while in motion, with enough oil in the engine.
Bought new 2018 Jeep Renegade. Traveling from panama city Florida to a new duty station at ft. Bliss (el paso Texas). At around 400 miles on the vehicle odometer, windshield started cracking. At around 1400 miles on vehicle odometer, transmission and engine failed 5 separate times while trying to get to a safe place to pull over. We were traveling West on interstate 10, posted speed limit 80 mph, approximately 4 foot of shoulder some areas, zero feet where guard rails were.
