2019 Jeep Renegade — 2.4L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Renegade 2.4L. Covers both the standard and High Output 2.4L.

Engine 2.4LTransmission Automatic 9-spd

Built on the BV platform, the 2019 Jeep Renegade 2.4L pairs a 2.4L engine with an Automatic 9-spd transmission to deliver EPA fuel economy ratings of 22/30/25 mpg. Within the model's 2015-2023 complaint history, this variant recorded 77 total owner complaints and 4 recalls, representing a significant reduction from the 2017 peak of 559 issues while remaining higher than the 2023 low of 20. Although the Electrical System emerges as the top complaint area, the substantial decrease in volume compared to the generation's highest complaint year indicates a model year that occupies a more stabilized position in the vehicle's reliability trajectory.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2019 Jeep Renegade sits at a clear inflection point in the federal record: owner complaints plunged to 77 from 440 in 2018 and the 428–559 range seen from 2015 through 2018, and they stayed low afterward, falling to 62 in 2020 and 20 by 2023. However, recalls did not follow the same downward path, with 2019 tying the generation's high at four recalls—matching 2015 and exceeding the two to three recalls recorded in 2016–2018—before declining to two or three annually from 2020 onward. Technical Service Bulletins also rose to 328 in 2019 from 268 in 2018 and remained near that level in 2020, suggesting dealer service activity stayed elevated even as reported complaints fell. The leading 2019 complaint areas were the electrical system (15), unknown/other (8), engine (8), and air bags (5), with nine crash-related complaints and no fire complaints reported; the data does not specify root causes. Because 2019 combines a steep drop in owner complaints with a comparatively high recall count, it looks like a better-than-average used Renegade year from a complaint perspective, but buyers should verify that all four recalls have been completed before purchasing.
