Love my Jeep Renegade!

I have owned my Renegade since August 2015 and still love it! It's cute, has a little zip when you need it and is good on gas. My husband is 6ft and he has plenty of room in the front, and he has had to sit in the back once or twice and was fine. I have two boys 9 and 5 and they are plenty comfortable in the back. The overall look of it is what caught my eye and I love that it's a little rugged and cute at the same time. The only downside that I could say is it not coming with a spare tire kit. I had a flat a few months ago and was shocked that there was no spare, jack, wrench or anything! I had to have it towed from my driveway to a local tire shop. The woman there was surprised it didn't come with anything and told me if I would have tried to use the kit that blows it back up it would have messed up the tire pressure sensor and that would have cost $100 or so to fix. I hear that a lot of new cars are not coming equipped with spares anyways. I have not had any problems that everyone else seems to be having. No key fab problems, no transmission problems etc. I have noticed when I reverse out of my driveway in the morning and brake it squeaks once and that's it. Nothing else throughout the day. I have about 6300 miles on it now and overall am very happy with it!!! *Update 8/31/17* I still enjoy my Renegade. I have started running into key getting stuck. All you have to do is turn car back on, put foot on brake, reverse (or move forward) just a bit, put it in park, wait a few seconds and then take foot of brake pedal. Turn car off and key should come out. At least that is what has worked for us in the past. I am at about 31,000 miles and have noticed some rough shifting. Also I live in Northern GA and going up and down the hills/mountains sometimes it doesn't know what to do and will rev like crazy and I will have to put it over to manual.

Bought the car in June 2015 because I liked the style and the salesman raved about all the great features. Problems started after a short time with the locks. Have a difficult time unlocking the car. Sometimes only the driver door unlocks. Sometimes the doors unlock but not the hatch sometimes the hatch unlocks but not all the doors. Had it back to the dealer and the problem is resolved only to occur again. Also when pulling out from a stop sign/light the anti-skid light comes on and the power drops to nothing...very dangerous. As other people have experienced acceleration is terrible. Very dangerous on merging into high speed roads. Also terrible on hills. Hate the car got lousy deal so I am stuck with it. Still the same a year later only I hate it more, specially when I think how much I owe and can't get rid of it. No longer have it, took what I could get which wasn't much given the transmission problems

Pretty much once you get used to the CVT this thing is a cruising beast. I love it! Looks good, rides good, MGP is slightly less then advertised but a solid vehicle. I hope this things lasts forever cause it is a sweet little tank. Trailhawk version is sweet!

Horrible Decision

2015 Jeep Renegade Limited 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

We bought this car 10/8/16. From the beginning to now we have had nothing but issues. I has been in the shop for 3 or more months that we have owned it due to problems. There is a noise coming from the steering column that the dealership has yet to figure out the last 5 times its been in the shop. There is a knocking noise coming from the front end. We have had the gas cap replaced three times. The traction control light comes on and it wont accelerate. The brakes squeak when in reverse. The hill assist light has came on to be services along with three other lights. The lumbar support wont work. I would not buy this vehicle or recommend anyone to even look into it. We have had nothing but issues and are now having to go through Chrysler to get anything done and possibly have them buy back our vehicle. We have owned it 6 months and had it in the shop over 6 times totally over three months with out it.

4WD Jeep you can shift with good MPG

The Jeep Renegade is one of the few 4WD vehicles out there that combine: - Manual Transmission - Good fuel economy - Excellent off road capability - Decent back row room for adults The manual transmission version is paired only with the 1.4 liter turbo charged engine, but I will say this engine offers plenty of power and torque, even with 4 passengers going up mountain roads! Very fun to drive, nimble control, good cornering, strong turbo boost in 2500-4000 RPM range. The gas tank is small but I still drive farther on a tank than I do with my other vehicle which is a Toyota FJ Cruiser AWD with manual transmission. And the small tank of course means that you won't end up paying a huge amount to fill it. Jeep recommends high octane (91 or higher) for the turbo, but lower octane gas can be used.
