2023 Renegade Verona

Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Driver assistance
Filed May 30, 2025

On 3 separate occasions, the emergency collision avoidance system applies the brakes and is causing major problems. One time at highway speed, we approached a bridge overpass and the system slammed on the brakes as we approached the overpass at 65 mph. On a separate occasion we were atyempting to turn left to enter the highway and there were concrete barriers close. The system slammed on the brakes and we were sitting in the middle of the intersection until it finally gave me back throttle control. And then again, in a left curve, a car move to the right turn lane and slowed to turn, and the brakes again applied hard! We were almost rearended by a semi! I need this system turned off, but Freightliner tells me they cannot turn off a safety device! This is not right, or fair. Speed limiters have been able to be disabled for decades! But I can turn this feature off on my Jeep Grand Cherokee, why not on my Renegade? I have been driving for many decades and do not need my vehicle nearly causing rear end collisions from false alarms! Please help! If I try to disable the system, it will not allow me to use cruise control. This is dangerous, and poorly designed system that should be an option to turn off.

The inside door handle for the RV passenger door (not the Freightliner doors on the cab) broke off while trying to exit the RV. This made it impossible to enter or exit this door. This is the only non emergency exit door on the RV, rear of the two front doors on the cab. Currently working with the dealer and Renegade to get a replacement part.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
