Seat Belt Problems of Jeep Renegade - part 1

I had a service airbag warning go off days prior which was then followed by my parking brake warning and a constant seatbelt warning chime that happened concurrently. The vehicle had these issues cleared by my mechanic but hasn't been able to be resolved. From what I understand, the seatbelt sensor is faulty and should I have an accident in the near future the airbags will not deploy.

Am writing to formally report multiple serious issues with my 2019 Jeep Renegade (VIN: zacnjabb6kpk85059). I take good care of my vehicle, but it has been experiencing rough shifts, lurching and jerking during acceleration, loud noises from the engine or transmission, hesitation, unexpected power loss, and it frequently displays a warning that the license plate light is off. Recently, the car overheated and required a water pump replacement, and since then it emits a burning hose smell. Additionally, the driver’s seat does not lock properly, and the radio often turns off and on by itself. These ongoing problems not only compromise the safety, reliability, and proper functioning of my vehicle but also create a significant financial burden. I am requesting an immediate inspection and resolution, and I would appreciate guidance on the next steps or the earliest available appointment for service. A prompt response is important, as these issues pose a serious safety risk while driving.

I had a service airbag, service parking brake and the seatbelt light starts flashing. It happens every time I drive the vehicle and I had it looked at by a mechanic and they see no issue with the sensors. They told me to check for any recalls and I don’t see any here.

Took vehicle to litha Jeep in missoula montana. They failed to do the recall and made it worse. Now the un-fasened seat belt alarm keeps alarming even when the seat belt is engaged. They also scratched the riverside passenger door and foot long deep scratch I have no faith they can fix any recall correctly since they didn't even bother to test it.

The right side seat belt connector failed and I was unable to take the seat belt off, which is a safety hazard. I went to a local independent repair garage where 3 mechanics were unable to disconnect the belt from the buckle. In 4/4/2025 I took the car to sullivan Nissan, Plymouth, MA where I bought the car. I was told that I needed a new seat belt buckle and it is not covered under the Jeep warranty. The car has 20, 120 miles on it.

The driver seat belt buckle malfunctioned, the clip will not stay in no matter what. The dealership said the part isn’t available anywhere and is on endless back order without an eta. As well as they are unsure of what parts are needed as there is an electrical part they confused if it’s needed that is also unavailable anywhere. The Jeep/Chrysler company itself has also been no help, it has been 3 weeks. I keep getting told the same thing and to “be patient” and that this is not a safety recall, even though the part isn’t available anywhere. The dealership confirmed its malfunction. My safety/risk factor and ability to drive has now been severely impacted as it is illegal and dangerous to drive without a seatbelt, I have not been offered any help or coverage, and I have a newborn baby! there was no forewarning or symptoms of failure beforehand. This has been sudden and infuriating.

My blind spot warning is inaccurate. This vehicle was purchased March 2024 and is constantly in the shop. It was recalls and a faulty electric system.

I have an active recall on my 2021 Jeep Renegade. I have made numerous attempts to get this vehicle in since recall was made public. Every excuse under the sun from dealerships in the st. Louis area. From we don't do recall work on weekends, to we are only allowed to order so many parts, we have to put you on a waiting list. Or I am out of a car for hours possibly days? I called the corporate number to stellantis and they actually hung up on me. I work lots of hours, I as a paying customer should be catered to. I need this repair done when its convenient for me as I have a job and work a crazy schedule.

On January 8, 2024, while increasing my speed from 25mph to 35mph, my parking brake automatically engaged and brought my car to a stop in the middle of the road. I quickly turned the car off and back on, and because there were no warning lights or obvious issues, continued to drive. After I increased my speed above 35mph, 3 warning lights were on the dash: service airbag system, service auto park brake, and start/stop unavailable. I took my vehicle to a local dealership where they diagnosed the issue as a faulty seatbelt sensor. They replaced the seatbelt buckle on January 9, 2024. On April 16, 2024, these issues began to occur again. However, this time, the car did not register that my seatbelt was fastened and the warning light to put on my seatbelt came on along with the service airbag system, service auto park brake, and start/stop unavailable warning lights. On April 18, 2024, as I was driving up an incline, the traction control warning light came on intermittently, along with the sound system unavailable light. These issues did not contribute to a crash or injury, but the car is under a year old and has had multiple issues that cannot easily be diagnosed. My car is currently at a local dealership being inspected.

Airbag light just showed up on my dash, it won't go away with the reset.

The passenger safety belt latch comes undone for no reason. This happens frequently. We always check to make sure it is properly fastened with the clicking sound. While driving, the buckle comes unlatched causing a safety issue.

On July 21, 2023, I was vigorously hit in the rear by someone. According to the police report, this person's airbags deployed. Unfortunately, my airbag, although hit extremely hard, did not. I was injured pretty bad and had to get treatment for over a year. I am still not completely healed. I was uneasy about my airbag not deploying and was sent a safety recall notice explaining why it did not. To resolve the issue, the manufacturer is offering free repair of my vehicle. This is not sufficed, and I demand pain and suffering along with medical help. The airbag not deploying during my accident resulted in increased injury. Please help me mediate with the manufacturer.

Touch screen control has gone black and isn't accessible. The back up camera is no longer working. This vehicle has a lot of blind spots without a rearview camera. All setting have also switched to canadian metrics-milage, tire pressure, speedometer etc. The seat belts also don't always lock in. Some times they lock in other times you have to punch in the button to try and get the locking mechanism to engage.

I have taken the car in since first oil change with an electrical issue. It still has not been resolved. The abs light, air bag, start stop and seat belt lights and sounds would go off. Potentially causing a whole host of issues. There is still no fix and this will be for fourth time I have taken it the dealer.

The driver side seat belt failed immediately after first impact to concrete barrier on front driver side the vehicle was then forced back across the highway where it hit the concrete barrier on the right side of the vehicle and was then forced back across the highway where the vehicle came to a stop but only after the vehicle hit the first concrete barrier for a second time there was only one wheel/tire left on the Jeep the other 3 were broke completely off of the Jeep as well as both axles being broke and finally this vehicle comes with a total of seven airbags and after all this not even one of them deployed and as a result my wife was seriously injured there was a police report which reflects my wife was declared not at fault. The vehicle was then towed to crash champions in nampa idaho where they figured that there was over $18,000 in damages our insurance company declared it a total loss so when it came time to pay the claim our insurance company was valuing the vehicle way less than it was actually worth and then they said we did not have medical on the policy then they called up Chrysler finance and tried to get them to accept a payout without my knowledge well that didn't work for them then they told Chrysler that I wanted to retain the vehicle which was a lie all I wanted was for someone to come by and inspect the vehicle then they could've done whatever they wanted to with it I've called the numbers in my owners manual opened up a complaint followed up with them for over a year and they never got back to me also I've been back to the dealership 5 times now and finally met the new manager and informed him of the situation and it's very hurtful inside to know that you've been ignored well here we are a little over 18 months now since the crash and the Jeep is still sitting in my driveway what else can I say,OH yeah I'm pissed.

I bought my Jeep at the end of 2016. Within a year the back seat passenger side seatbelt would not latch. Now I’m 2022 the middle seatbelt also won’t latch. I have a five year old. I discovered this when attempting to move her to a booster seat. There is only one working seatbelt in the back. After reading forums this is a common problem with the limited Jeep Renegade. Children are at risk.

Dashboard lights suddenly start blinking, from seatbelt, airbag, check engine… then the d starts flashing and the car loses power (goes like in neutral), forcing me to pull over, when I can. This happens while driving, this happens often. Have visited a dealership twice, “no trouble found”. Danger to self and others.

Seatbelts did not stop me from hitting the dashboard/steering wheel when car hit us from behind.

The contact owned a 2020 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped on the expressway for roadway construction, another vehicle rear-ended the rear driver's side. The contact's head and face struck the steering wheel, causing a nosebleed. The vehicle spun and collided with two to three other occupied vehicles; however, the contact did not know if anyone was injured. The air bags did not deploy, and the seat belts failed to restrain the contact and her two minor children, seated in the rear passenger's and driver's side seats. The contact's child, who was sitting in the rear passenger's seat, was thrown into the trunk upon impact. The doors failed to unlock until the fire department arrived.

My seat warning light comes on. Took it to dutch miller Jeep in south charleston, wv. I was informed that the seat built switch was defective. After checking the internet it seems this is a common occurrence on Jeep vehicles. This is expensive to repair and is a safety hazard per the repair technician.

My 2016 Jeep Renegade was involved in an accident October 4th, vehicle totaled but no airbags deployed even though the Renegade was on and there was a passenger (buckled in) in the vehicle. Had fca run their �investigation� though they will not share the results of which with me even though I've asked. Their response �your request for our inspection report is proprietary, paid for by us, belongs to us, and therefore, unavailable for distribution. If you disagree with our handling, you certainly have the right to hire your owner inspector, at your expense, to examine the vehicle . We have closed the file regarding this matter. � both my insurance adjuster and body shop (who asked for the investigation) stated that based on the impact (crushed rear and driver side) should have set off the airbags though they didn't and the passenger was injured, why won't they share the report?.

Have had vehicle since 2018. For 2 years, I have had 3 cylinder misfires (with the last one about to happen at any moment) and my vehicle has stalled while driving (once on the freeway) about 8 times. I had to pull over each time to a complete stop. The vehicle stating "vehicle cannot change gears until stopped. " once I turned off the engine, it takes about five minutes to restart the engine. The cylinder misfires always begin with aggressive jerking while vehicle is in motion. Lasting a few months, leading to aggressive shaking once misfired. On occasion, while vehicle is stopped, seat belt will also not buckle and in the last two years seat belt has also come unbuckled twice while vehicle is in motion.
