Infotainment system is highly defective even after replacement. The screen goes black, shows white lines and you're left unable to use your backup camera! After doing research this problem stems all the way back to 2016 renegades with the same system.
Dashboard screen is out. I am unable to use the back up camera feature nor any Dashboard feature.
I was in an head on colisin and neither of my front airbags deployed

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.

Oil leak from faulty gasket in 2020 jeep renegade trailhawks. First appeared August 11th.
Backup Camera/Radio/UConnect screen is glitching to where I can no longer see the backup camera when in reverse, and can no longer see what is playing on the radio. This started happening less than 3 months ago, when the heat started ramping up. Backup camera is a safety mechanism, and while using the rear view mirrors is fine, the backup camera should work without fail.
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.
Radio needed replacement, transmission was replaced under lease contract, Rack & Pinion replaced, Steering & Suspension R/F Axle replacement needs to be done, part is on back order until September 2025-This is very dangerous. There should be recalls on the above is the part is on back order there are many issues with this these parts. This car has too many issues its only a 2020.
The uconnect screen is black, therefore I can use backup camera and see anything on the screen.
The forward screen which displays the backup camera has failed. It sound it’s like it is a common issue but unfortunately changing just the screen is unavailable so the entire unit must be changed for over $1000.
