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.

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.

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

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

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.
