2019 Jeep Renegade Electrical System Problems

This is the 2nd time I am repairing the left rear light that controls the signal, brake and parking light. The wires are burnt to the bulb. There is condensation in the light. Not accident related. I note that there is a potential recall but not officially.

The display screen for the back up camera, heating/cooling, radio, and all other settings has stopped functioning. The screen comes on, but with flashing static lines in the screen instead of the proper display. This makes it very hard to reverse at night, and downright dangerous... the screen can't be turned off, so when you put the engine in reverse, the screen automatically comes on and can't be turned off. But the bright flashing static display it shows make it hard to use mirrors to see to back up. Other factors make the screen not working inconvenient, but this point makes the malfunction an actual danger.

Unconect system replaced once under warranty garblled screen goes black after 10 min. Backup camera does not work. No longer under warranty should be recalled many compliments on line 58000 miles

Infotainment Console system crashes and has definite Failure which causes driver to lose visibility of climate controls and other safety features like backup camera settings and controls, this issue is reported amongst a widespread amount of Jeep renegade 2019 owners and after inspection dealer is only recommending 100% replacement at cost of driver. This is a national risk issue.

The screen has lines in it and I can’t see my back up camera

The screen has completely glitched out. It is unusable and I have researched and found this to be a very common issue. These are not old vehicles and this should be covered under a recall.

The original Uconnect head unit is phasing in and out. Sometimes 1/3 of it will be completely black, other times all of it. I have seen hundreds of online forums that this is a reoccurring issue. This is a safety hazard due to the fact the back up camera is inoperative at this state.

UConnect console has gone out making the rearview camera inoperable. With the requirement of rearview camera but a defective unit to display the rearview camera, jeep is essentially not providing rear view cameras. This is a widespread issue with the Jeep UConnect system

2019 Jeep Renegade Uconnect screen started displaying vertical lines on the screen and eventually goes black. Cannot use any of the screen controls or use the backup camera. I have seen owners of various year models on Reddit experiencing the same issues with no recourse from Jeep since they are out of warranty. Our only option is to buy an aftermarket head unit or pay Jeep over $1200 to replace it with something that will fail again

The backup up camera screen stops working when the car is warm. The screen divides into three columns. As it warms up the columns fail. They become electronically distorted beyond recognition and eventually go black. This backup camera screen is also the touch screen that controls lots of functions of the vehicle. Defroster, climate controlls, radio, hands free phone usage, car settings for lights, horns, and much more. The car is available for inspection upon request. There is a large blind spot behind the vehicle when backing up. We only buy a car if it has a backup camera. We do not ever want to back over a child. The camera and viewing screen must work to help prevent this. On this vehicle it does not work. Unacceptable. We called the dealership. They are familiar with the problem. It happens to many jeeps they said. They quoted us $1050 dollars to fix it. I went online and found that many people that had paid to have this repaired at the dealership, had the screens fail again soon after the repair. We have not had it repaired yet. Because we don't have confidence that Jeep has a viable solution yet. It has not been inspected by anyone yet. The problem starts to appear as a separation of the screen into three columns. One by one, those columns begin to fail. They fail rather quickly. As the vehicle gets warmer, the screen fails faster. Often the screen doesn't work at all when you first turn the car on. There have not been any warning signs or lights warning us of a failure. The failure started around August 2024. The vehicle had only 24500 miles.

The screen to my radio is malfunctioning. Not only does this take away my back up camera, it also leaves me so I can not access features of my vehicle: clock, heated seat, heated steering wheel, and other system functions - due to the screen glitching/turning black my MPH has changed to KM/H and I am unable to change it back

Without warning, the Jeep will flash a number of error messages and the engine will immediately shut off. The Jeep can be stopped, placed in park, and it starts right back up as though nothing is wrong. This has happened a few times, usually without incident. However, a few days ago, it occurred while driving 70MPH down the interstate, forcing me to cross several lanes after the vehicle shut itself off, without power, in order to pull to a stop and restart the vehicle. This could have led to a serious collision at high speeds. Error messages that flash up include: high coolant temp, 4WD needs serviced, engine service light, etc. But as soon as vehicle is restarted, none of these error messages reoccur.

Radio has black screen and nothing works on display screen

Touch screen control has gone black and isn't accessible. The back up camera is no longer working. This vehicle has a lot of blind spots without a rearview camera. All setting have also switched to Canadian metrics-milage, tire pressure, speedometer etc. The seat belts also don't always lock in. Some times they lock in other times you have to punch in the button to try and get the locking mechanism to engage.

About a week after buying the car, the back windows will roll down when they want(not all the time) a couple years into having the car, Turned car on one day, and the gas gauge would not properly tell me how much was in it. A few weeks later the main digital radio/ back up camera glitched out and now will not work at all. And then randomly the air bag light came on and stays on all the time not sure why. Seen problems like these in older versions of my Jeep and wondering if others have same issues.

The left taillight system is defective. The 5 electrical prongs have one in the middle that is missing. Hence, I had to buy another. The new one doesnt stay connected in the casing. Tape wont hold it. The piece is also defective as the two connectors dont fit together.

SUPPOSEDLY SOME RODENTS OR SOMETHING CHEWED THE WIRES IN THE JEEP AND THE EVAP, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE SOY USED IN THE WIRING. THIS RESULTED IN THE FUEL GAUGED INDICATING IT WAS EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK AND MADE IT FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NOT SURE OF HOW DANGEROUS OR HAZARDOUS THIS MAY HAVE BEEN BUT IT WAS ALARMING AND THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT, EVEN THOUGH THEY USED THE SOY WIRES.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A BUSY STREET THAT HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MPH I WAS ON MY WAY TO DROP MY CHILD OFF TO SCHOOL.THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND I GOT REALLY SCARED SO I HIT THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING THEY LOCKED. I TRIED AGAIN AND THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THEY DID NOT WORK. I WAS SO SCARED I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO I COULD'NT STOP THE CAR IT TURNED BACK ON BY ITSELF AND THE BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. SECOND TIME THE CAR MALFUNCTION MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO PICK UP A PIZZA AND WE PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND SO DID THE GPS SCREEN. IT CAME BACK ON RIGHT AWAY AND NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED THAT NIGHT. THIRD OCCASION THAT I WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND IT MALFUNCTION WE GOT IN THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND TURNED THE CAR ON AS HE PUT IT DRIVE AS WE WERE LEAVING THE FRONT OF THE CAR LIKE THE WHEELS MADE A POPPING SOUND AND THE ENGINE GOT REALLY LOUD. THE ENGINE NOISE ONLY LASTED ABOUT TWO MINUTES AND WENT AWAY. MY HUSBAND DID TELL THE DEALER WERE WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND ALSO JEEP/CHRYSLER IS AWARE THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING. THERE IS A LIQUED COMING OUT OF THE BRAKES OR CALIPER THAT ITS YELLOW, THAT IS NOT SAVE AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AS WELL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, IT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OR IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD US THE CAR MENTIONED TO MY HUSBAND THAT THE CAR IDLES AND THAT CAR DOES NOT DO THAT. ALSO WE WERE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO DETECT ANY OBJECTS NEAR IT AND MAKE A BEEPING NOISE WHICH DOES NOT HAPPEN AT ALL.THEN WE TOOK IT TO THREE DEALERS TWO OF THEM WHO DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND ONE OF THEM DID FIND THE ISSUES WE HAVE STATED. THEY TOLD US THAT THE WARANTY DOES NOT COVER THE ISSUES. MY HUSBAND SPOKE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE.

MY CAR WENT COMPLETELY LIMP ALL THE WARNINGS LIGHTS ON MY DASH CAME ON BUT MY CAR WAS DISABLED UNTIL I TURNED CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED IT . I TOOK IT TO A JEEP PLACE AND THEY SAID IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A NEW GAS PEDAL AND SENSOR ALSO A CANASTER AND GAS PRESSURE SENSOR . WHICH THEY TOLD ME THE COST WOULD BE 1500 WITH COVID 19 GOING ON I'VE BEEN OUT OF WORK AND I CAN'T AFFORD THAT BUT WITH A BRAND NEW CAR I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR

ON OCT 23RD 2019 MY CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF IT WOULD STAY IN ACCESSORY MODE THEN EVERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED IT FROM ON AUG 6 A WEEK LATER THEY SAID IT WAS A AIR BAG MODULE PROBLEM. A WEEK LATER THEY SAID THEY WERE HAVING A PROBLEM LOCATING THE PART. NOW IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND I STILL DONT HAVE A CAR.*DT*JB*DT*JB
