"dar marcha atrás" has always the same meaning, to go back, to put the reverse, to back up, to shift the rear gear.
I don't know what "renege" is. Coches: - El coche se encontró con un obstáculo, así que dió marcha atrás y tomó otro camino Social El gobierno quiso implantar las reformas, pero al convocarse con éxito una gran huelga, dió marcha atrás y no las implantó personal - No quero aceptar ese puesto, gano menos dinero, es una marcha atrás en mi carrera It has also a sexual meaning, but I would not explain it here. Guess it  Saludos
