2020 Jeep Renegade owner complaints

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

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.

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.

My car system simply failed in the middle the road while driving. I had More than enough gas as well as great battery in the car. My car would not turn over to completely start but will turn on just to have a battery use.

With amazing maintenance on it

The screen began glitching for a week. By the end of the week, the middle of the screen turn back. It is a hazard when reversing as you cannot see pedestrians or how far objects are due to the blackout. Moreover, when using navigation, the road for traffic is not visible so it is a safety hazard. It was review at a Jeep dealership after I took my car in for a recall. My vehicle is ready for inspection and it has not been reviewed by insurance or police.

The Uconnect screen is glitching in and out and only 2/3 of the screen is appearing. Going into the dealer tomorrow.

The U connect system screen does not work , goes in and out and is scrambled . I am unable to use back up camera
