My 2020 Jeep Renegade has been burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles or so. Im sure many people do not check it as consistently as i do. Burning oil im sure is hard on the spark plugs, catalitic converters, and the emissions.

Vehicle has an oil leak due to a faulty vacuum pump and gasket which is causing the vehicle to leak an excessive amount throughout the engine and other components. It was seen by a repair shop and they pinpointed the leak. This could cause an engine to stall while driving if not fixed soon which could potentially involve being in a accident to cause injury and or even death. The leak first appeared in August 2025 and can not be driven until fixed. This issue is also happening to my husbands vehicle which is the same as mine.

Engine stalled in much the same way as numerous other owners are describing on this forum. It happened on the freeway at 70mph in cruise control. Engine instantly killed, NO check engine light, dealership ran codes and found no errors. Very dangerous. Can Stellantis please diagnose this and get a recall. I don't trust this car and stopped driving it.

While driving, my radiator cooling fan malfunctioned and a piece broke off. The fan now does not work properly to cool my radiator and the car shakes when I turn on the ac or when I-??m at idle.

- Riverview, FL, USA

Vehicle constantly overheats and the cooling fans go out. I work for a company that has 30 Jeep Renegades ranging from year 2020 to 2023. They all have this issue. Leaking coolant, AC going out, cooling fan needing replacement, not starting, stalling, overheating, etc. I can give all VIN numbers if necessary.

Go to step on gas to accelerate my jeep it will limp backwards on speed then all of a sudden take off like a rocket, jerking everybody in the car like g force, jerking head & necks, also driving down the road car has several times shut completely off, having me to pull vehicle over to side of road, & restarting the car.I I-??ve had radio system shut completely off by itself for no reason. I have had the vehicle in to shop several times, they put on computer system, to recheck and redo computer, they call me to pick it up next day & still jerking like g- force hesitating & taking off like a rocket, took it back three times they said they put power steering fluid in it, well guess what not fixed. I have less than 30k miles on vehicle, & this has been going on since under 11k miles. Now when you stop and put vehicle in park the vehicle jumps forward & backwards, like you slammed your brakes on, several times my car has almost hit my garage door or in a parking garage the wall, or a parked car, the steering is very loose, & touchy, also noise like clunking in the wheel well, my friend said sounds like the springs. the tie rods & wheel bearings have been checked and are fine, now I-??m scared the springs may break & drop the car around the wheels. I don-??t drive far my town, is 5 minutes away so like 20 miles when I go out, I-??m retired so car is just driven to the store or family-??s. Sometimes I-??m scared to drive it. My fiancé that just passed away sept 2023, said the jerking g/force is something to do with the drive train, transmission. the car shutting off is a dangerous thing to happen when your driving down the highway. I feel this 2020 jeep has a lot of dangerous complications. I-??m not sure if someone has gotten seriously hurt yet, but from what I-??ve heard a couple of my friends had same problems & traded in & reading people complaints have same problem, power train should be recalled. this car is a big headache, that I can-??t afford. I feel you need to replace my car

Vehicle randomly stalls out, engine shuts off, while driving. Check engine, service fuel cut-off, parking brake, air bag, ABS, coolant temperature high, service ESC system lights and messages. All of these warnings and messages occurred during the stall out, never before. It's currently in the shop for the third time to figure out the problem and to get it fixed. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership/shop currently working on it.

While driving my 2020 Jeep Renegade it will just shut itself down with no warning. I was on the freeway going 60 mph when the car just shut off causing me to have to pull over on the side of the freeway (which is illegal) and then having to restart the car - this happened 6 times in a matter of 24 hours causing me to have to bring my Jeep to the dealership. I was told that there are more electrical issues that will nee dot be addressed but that the main reason for the shut off weas due to not enough oil in the car even though I just had an oil change and was not due for some time. Why would the car just shut off with no warnings? At least a low oil level light would be better than just shutting down.

In April 2022, to my surprise the car first stalled on me while I was driving. The -??pressure coolant high-?? was warning light that appeared on the screen when this happened. To start the car, I had to put it in park and then push the ignition button to get it started again. I continued my drive thinking it was a computer error because my coolant level was normal. Where it should be. A few minutes later, it happened again. And I repeated the same process to get it started. Knowing this was a serious issue, as I was driving with my child in the car, I made an appointment with the manufacturer to have it serviced. Three days later, the dealership -??Nothing-??s wrong the car. A terminal on the battery was loose and it-??s ready for pick up.-?? A few weeks later, the intermittent stalling began occurring again. However, it-??s frequency became increasingly worse. It would stall unexpectedly as I am driving on highways, main roads, side streets; while the start/stop option is on and when it is turned off. All dangerous factors. In addition, to the -??pressure coolant high-?? other warning lights came on: -??parking brake alert-??, -??check engine-??, -??battery-??, -??throttle failure-??. Then, the engine failed to come on at start-up. I would have to push the ignition button multiple times for the car to start. I took the car back to the dealership on June 29th, 2022 for the second time. After, I having the vehicle for 3 days they informed me that my car needed -??a new battery and an oil change.-?? I had to plead with them to run more diagnostics on the renegade because this is more than a replacement battery issue. My safety, my family-??s safety, and the safety of other drivers are at risk because I never know when this car will stall on me as I am driving. Unexpectedly, I can get hit from behind by a driver on the highway who is not expecting me to stop out of nowhere. In researching, I-??ve found that has been a known issue since 2015.

Was driving and entering onto a freeway going about 40-50mph. I was able to reach 60 mph on freeway. All of a sudden the thing where car shuts off when stopped at light that came on and then check engine light and then had to slow down however after slowing I was not able to go above 40 mph and had to try to get over to pullover. I let my car sit for a couple hours and when I put it in drive and accelerated my front end was smoking and extremely hot. When I was able to open hood everything was hot opened oil cap as I had a puddle of oil now under my car smoke came pouring out of where you put oil. Not sure if connected but the month prior my car was being fixed for a blower motor and at that time was leaking oil. I had an issue previously on a Chevy Malibu where blower vacuum motor broke and caused broke piece to go into engine fan which then needed engine replacement. It is currently being diagnosed however all they can tell me is that I need a new engine likely and they can-??t get enough compression to diagnose cause. This is dangerous with the amount of oil lost in that short amount of time. It should be noted it was just in for an oil change 2 wks prior to the incident at the jeep dealership where I bought the vehicle.

My 2020 Jeep Renegade would not shut off the evening of 6/22/21. The Jeep Road Service tech tried unhooking the battery but that did not shut it down. He thought that holding the key fob directly over /on the push start button it would shut it down. It did not. He then, at the suggestion of my father removed the 15 amp Fuel fuse and that finally stopped the car. He then towed it to the dealer Paul Bailey Chrysler/Jeep. They noted that the battery cable was loose and I explained that the tow truck person tried the battery at first. They said they reset the RFH ? I believe its located in the computer circuit. They road tested and said they never saw that happen before and I took it home. 6/24/21. So far so good.

The PCV will only work in one direction on the crankshaft/camshaft intake!

- Perry, UT, USA

The PCV-(pressure control valve) works like a diaphragm breathing in and out, which then blocks liquid from entering the air intake and manifold.

- Perry, UT, USA

Camshaft PCV-(pressure control valve) doesn't work properly=(in wrong direction). Asking for a recall. Can cause accident because of low idle and improper vacum in brakes causing them to fail.

On 4 separate occasions, traveling around 45-60 mph, the engine went into what was described as "limp mode" and the speed decreased to 20 mph with the tach reading ~6500 and was not able to attain and maintain safe traveling speeds. The first three occasions were on a rural road, twice in a slight curve and once in a straight away. It felt like the car had been rear-ended and then was not able to achieve highway speeds (which I turn right onto from my road). The fourth occasion was after the transmission was replace and while getting up to speed on the highway. The engine registered the car as being in second gear, while it was physically in drive and was unable to get above 45 mph while revving ~7000. It should also be stated that the loaner vehicle also a 2020 Jeep Renegade had a similar incident resulting in "limp in" and having to be towed back to the dealership.
