Buying a used 2018 Jeep Renegade? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 442 owner complaints on file

Both recalls point the same direction: an engine computer defect and a fuel pump flaw that can each stall the engine. The complaint record is by far the heaviest of these Renegade years — 442 unverified NHTSA filings, with 189 on the engine, 131 electrical and 90 on the fuel/propulsion system, plus 16 crashes, eight fires and 13 injuries reported. Stalling and powertrain behavior, rather than safety-equipment defects, dominate what owners describe.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Confirm both stalling recalls — engine computer and fuel pump — were completed by VIN
3. Ask the seller directly whether the vehicle has ever stalled or lost power while driving
4. Have the engine and fuel system scanned for stored codes and review service history
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
