Is 564 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2017 and 2026, roughly 60 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2017 has 564 complaints on file, more than the 2016 (429) and more than the 2018 (442). That is the most of the 9 model years of the Jeep Renegade we cover. Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
