Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Renegade.

Transmission Automatic 9-spd

The 2022 Jeep Renegade is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission and an engine requiring 4.8 quarts of 0W-20 oil, delivering EPA fuel-economy figures of 24/32/27 mpg. Across the model’s 2015–2023 complaint history, this model year registers only 23 owner complaints, placing it just above the 2023 low of 20 and well beneath the 2017 high of 559. While its two recalls and an electrical system topping the complaint list are worth noting, the 2022 model sits among the more reliable entries in the Renegade’s run.

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 2022 Jeep Renegade marks a clear inflection point in the generation’s reliability trajectory, as federal complaint volume collapses to just 23—less than one-third of the 2021 total and the lowest figure since launch. Recall activity remains stable at two campaigns, identical to 2021 and 2023, while Technical Service Bulletins drop to 183, continuing a four-year downward trend. Top complaint categories shift away from the powertrain and engine issues that dominated earlier years, with electrical system concerns now leading (4 reports), though absolute counts remain minimal. The single crash-related complaint and zero fire reports further distinguish 2022 from the higher-risk 2015-2018 period. This year sits at the tail end of the generation’s maturity arc, where early defects have been largely addressed and post-refresh stability has taken hold. For a used buyer, the 2022 Renegade emerges as the most statistically favorable year in the dataset.
