NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Electrical issues lead the complaint picture for the 2023 Jeep Renegade, with owners most often describing battery failures, some reporting the need for multiple replacements within a short ownership period, along with moisture intrusion into door components affecting entry. Forward collision avoidance draws the second-highest complaint volume, with owners consistently describing the system triggering false alerts at significant distances from other vehicles, or flagging cars in parallel turn lanes as hazards during wide turns. Seat belt complaints round out the top three reported systems, though the narratives in this set don't point to a single dominant symptom there. With only 20 total complaints on file, no single pattern is overwhelming, but the false-trigger behavior from the forward collision system and the recurring battery concerns are the clearest threads running through multiple reports.
