Certain Jeep Avenger vehicles were equipped with a front camera containing an incorrect hardware level ID, causing an internal error code that keeps the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) permanently inactive. This disables Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) simultaneously, leaving the vehicle without critical active safety features. Stellantis issued a recall to address the faulty camera hardware.

Common Symptoms

  • ADAS warning lights illuminated on dashboard
  • Lane Keep Assist not functioning or unavailable
  • Automatic Emergency Braking system disabled
  • Forward collision warning not activating
  • Error message related to camera or driver assistance system

How to Fix

Contact a Jeep dealer to have the front camera module replaced under the manufacturer recall. The dealer will install a camera with the correct hardware ID and verify that AEB and LKA functions are fully operational. This repair is performed at no cost under the recall campaign.

The Jeep Avenger's 1.2L mild hybrid powertrain experiences frequent Start & Stop system malfunctions. The system may fail to restart the engine properly, cause delayed or sluggish restarts, or stall the engine entirely during stop-and-go driving. The issue is linked to the mild hybrid system's integration with the 48V electrical architecture and MCU software calibration.

Common Symptoms

  • Engine fails to restart after automatic stop at traffic lights
  • Delayed or slow engine restart when releasing brake pedal
  • Random engine stalling while driving at low speeds
  • Start & Stop warning light illuminated on dashboard
  • Jerky transitions between electric assist and engine power

How to Fix

Visit a Jeep dealer for an MCU (Motor Control Unit) software update that recalibrates the Start & Stop system behavior. The dealer will check error logs and reflash the MCU with updated firmware. If the issue persists after the software update, the 48V battery or belt-starter-generator (BSG) may need inspection or replacement.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipRequest an MCU software update at your first dealer visit — many stalling and Start & Stop issues are resolved by a firmware reflash alone.
  • TipIf the Start & Stop system is acting erratically, you can manually disable it each drive by pressing the Start & Stop button on the console until a permanent software fix is applied.
Typical repair cost:$0 - $300

The electric Avenger uses a CCS2 (or Type 2 depending on market) charging port that experiences latch mechanism failures and communication errors with DC fast chargers. The charge port latch can fail to lock or unlock the connector, and the vehicle may reject charging sessions at public DC fast chargers with "Unable to Charge" messages while working fine on home AC Level 2 chargers. The issue is caused by charge port module firmware and latch actuator sensitivity.

This issue also affects: Fiat 500e

Common Symptoms

  • Unable to Charge error message on dashboard
  • Charging connector stuck in port or refuses to lock
  • DC fast charging session failing to initiate
  • Charging starting then stopping within minutes
  • Home Level 2 charging works but public chargers do not

How to Fix

Update the charge port control module firmware at the dealer. Clean the charge port contacts with electronic contact cleaner and inspect for bent or corroded pins. If the latch mechanism is sticking, lubricate the latch with silicone spray (not WD-40). For DC fast charging failures, try a different charger network — the Avenger has known compatibility issues with certain fast charger communication protocols that are resolved via software updates.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $800

The Jeep Avenger uses the Stellantis third-generation uConnect system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Owners report random reboots during driving, black screen freezes, and loss of navigation/audio that require a vehicle restart to resolve. The issue is software-related, particularly affecting early-production 2023 models. The infotainment system also occasionally loses Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity and fails to reconnect without a manual restart of the system.

This issue also affects: Alfa Romeo Giulia, Dodge Hornet, Jeep Grand Wagoneer

Common Symptoms

  • Touchscreen goes black during driving
  • System reboots showing Jeep logo mid-drive
  • Apple CarPlay or Android Auto disconnecting repeatedly
  • Navigation freezing or showing incorrect location
  • Audio cutting out and not recovering
  • Backup camera not displaying when in reverse

How to Fix

Update the uConnect software to the latest version via USB download from the Stellantis update portal or at a dealer. Perform a soft reset by holding the power/volume knob for 10+ seconds. If issues persist after a software update, the dealer can reflash the head unit firmware. In rare cases, the head unit hardware (eMMC storage) may need replacement under warranty. Disable automatic software updates and install updates manually for better stability.

Typical repair cost:$0 - $1,200

Some Jeep Avenger vehicles were fitted with a steering rack that does not conform to manufacturer specifications. The defective rack can cause vague or inconsistent steering feel, pulling to one side, and in severe cases, reduced steering control. Stellantis issued a recall to inspect and replace affected steering racks.

Common Symptoms

  • Steering feels vague or loose at center position
  • Vehicle pulls to one side during straight-line driving
  • Uneven steering response when turning left vs. right
  • Clunking or clicking noise from steering column area
  • Increased steering effort at low speeds

How to Fix

Visit a Jeep dealer for a steering rack inspection under the recall campaign. If the rack is found to be out of specification, it will be replaced at no cost. Do not ignore any changes in steering feel, as the issue can worsen over time.
