Electrical System - filed 2026-03-28
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.

Complaints are reports filed by owners with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Crash ratings are NHTSA's own 5-Star Safety Ratings results.
