Engine / equipment

Jeep Renegade (petrol, diesel and 4xe)

Period mentioned

2014 onwards

Symptoms

The early 1.4 MultiAir turbo; oil dilution on the direct-injection petrols even at low mileage; a ZF 9-speed (4x4) that shifts badly from 4th to 5th; cracking door seals, wind noise and Uconnect faults; on diesels, typical high-mileage wear.

Possible cause described

Recalls (KBA): rear centre buckle (6/10/2014–21/1/2015), towbar (25/8/2014–25/6/2016), a 9-speed gearbox connection that could shift to neutral (2014–2015), an incorrectly updated airbag module (13/3/2018–6/4/2019) and curtain-airbag connectors (2020–2021).

Check for the garage

Check every campaign by VIN; check the oil level (dilution); test the automatic shifts.
