I bought my Jeep used in April 2016 with 6,000 miles on the odometer. I did a ton of research on the car and since I purchased it from a Honda dealership they didn't know much about it. They didn't know how the my sky panels worked or that it even had remote start. I ended up being able to purchase it for the trade in value which (at the time) was over 6K less than purchasing the same one new. I was super excited with my find. Fast forward 8 months (ish) I smelled something burning and smoke was coming from under the hood. I was able to get it to the dealership as it is 2 blocks from my apartment and they said it would take several days to look into the issue. Meanwhile, I had to argue with them to get a rental paid for. The dealership didn't offer loaners but rather a discount on a rental... that seemed like poor service to me since my car was still under the warranty. When I got my jeep back about a week later, I started having issues with the Uconnect system. These have been ongoing since. When it works it's great, but sometimes the screen shuts off by itself or the radio won't change stations or volume. I didn't bother taking it in for these minor issues since the last time was such a headache. The car ran fine for about a year after this, however, I have had it towed 2 times since December! Once because it wouldn't turn over at all (even after trying to jump it) and another time because there is no spare (only a patch kit) and the tire went flat due to misalignment that no one mentioned when I had it in the shop the first go around. I asked them to check everything while it was at the dealership the first time because we were taking it on a 3500 mile road trip over the Christmas break. They told me everything looked great and the car should do just fine on the trip. I also purchased 4 brand new all weather tires right before it was towed to the shop the first time. Because no one bothered to check the alignment (I paid for them to check everything btw...) both rear tires went bald on our trip and the day we got back the rear driver tire blew. I had to get another tow back to the tire place. They told me there must be something wrong with my jeep because the tires I purchased should last me at least 50,000 miles. So, after having the back tires replaced again, I took it to my parents mechanic since I no longer trusted the dealership. By the end of the day, they found the problems. The alignment was WAY off, there were break issues, I need all new struts, and a number of smaller issues. I don't know a ton about vehicles, so this was all explained through my dad who does know quite a bit. It's a long story to explain that my car has just over 45,000 miles and has already had more issues than my 200,000 mile Honda that I traded in for it. I should have kept the Honda.

I purchased a brand new (leftover 2015) Jeep Renegade Trailhawk in late March of 2016. This great little SUV is fantastic, whether I'm using it as a commuter vehicle, taking it off road, or long trips (500 miles or more). Live the ride, zippy performance (Tigershark 2.4L engine), Rock/Mud/Sand/Snow modes. Only in the dealership for oil changes--and I'm at 25K miles. Likely some new tires before winter--that's it!

Just as the same size shoe does not fit every foot, no car can fit all occasions. We really like the Renegade (2015, 30k) over-all, but it's not perfect. We have had absolutely zero issues with the car. The stellar features are the 4wd works great in snow/ice. Had a huge blow out at about 70mph and the auto system made a very controlled stop in the rain. Car felt very competent as the system shifted control to the other tires. We are talking about a 4'" square hole and bent the rim with immediate deflation. No swerving. I felt safe in it. Gas mileage isn't great, but it is a heavy vehicle. 24.1 mpg in 30K. Wish for a different for crisper shifting, although it is fine for everyday driving. I have heard that the computer "learns" your style of driving and adapts to it. Strange as it seems, this seems to be the case. Shifting has improved over time. It IS different, so decide what you expect from a vehicle and how you are going to use it. Most Renegades never see off the road. A very capable suv. Note: differences in models! TH is considerable heavier (skid plates etc) and gets less mpg. Plan to keep for many years.

Purchased this vehicle Sep 2015. No issues so far. It's actually a Latitude with the 2.4L engine, Cold Weather 2 package, upgraded 9-speaker system, passive entry, 2WD. I've had no issues so far. Road noise is higher than I am accustomed to. It's adequate on the highway with a little lag sometimes. I have to keep that in mind if I want to change lanes quickly. Idle's a little rough. Brakes squealed occasionally for about the first 2000 miles then went away. Average mileage has been around 23 mpg. The Uconnect system works well, voice recognition and blue tooth, etc. I've had no electrical, engine or suspension issues thus far (knock on wood). One minor issue is the guidelines in the backup camera disappear sometimes. It's now February 2017 with 28000 miles. Only scheduled maintenance. All good so far

This 2015 Jeep Renegade Latitude is the sweetest new car I have ever owned! It looks great, rides so smooth and I love the European influence from Fiat. The price is so affordable and it's a true 4x4 which I need here in Northeast Ohio. I love the color. The sound system is awesome! This car has plenty of room in the back seat and plenty of room in the hatchback area. The hatchback area deck can be adjusted to several levels which is so flexible. Not only does this Jeep look different, it looks like a SUV, unlike all the crossovers you see on the road. We are getting the weathertech liners and aftermarket seat covers just to keep the interior pristine. I intend to drive this car for a long time! I highly recommend this car if you need a 4x4 that has a comfortable ride and is really quiet with the windows rolled up. You will definitely have other people on the road looking twice when you ride by! Fuel economy is also great!
