Used 2015 Jeep Renegade Consumer Reviews
It's like a Jeep...car....hybrid.
We already have a '11 Jeep Liberty so I am evaluating this Jeep with that in mind. The first thing we noticed is that we FIT in the car! The outside definitely makes you think that a 6'0" person would have their head at the ceiling - not so! Jeep really made this vehicle appeal to all demographics including those blessed with height. The power on button takes some getting used to (remember that you have to press it again with the brake in to start the car if you use the remote start! great security feature but I definitely was lost for a minute when I first used it). The turn radius is FANTASTIC for a Jeep. Or a car really! The feel is that of a car - you don't realize you are going as fast as you are until you look at the dash. That could be the reason my husband set up a warning when I hit 80mph...oops. I love being able to customize the dash with what I want to see. The gauges are switched from the usual (MPH on the right and RPM on the left rather than the reverse) so that does take some getting used to. Also, being taller, the dash is not the most visible line of sight when your hands are on the steering wheel. Therefore, we have the MPH showing as the main portion of the customized dash. Love love love the Bluetooth feature. We did not get the navigation option in the car so we just sync our phones and the speakers (loud and full sound!) let you know what is coming up. I also use the crap out of the backup camera because I am the worst person with backing up. My husband is fantastic at driving and backs into our driveway every time he comes home so he only uses it to see how close he can get to our other Jeep...ugh. The only downfall of this would be the rear seating - it's cramped for an adult person especially with the cup holder seat down. Think airplane seats. But, when we have kids, it will be perfect for them. I'm a happy camper with this one!

Not Happy!!
At 125 miles, car started jerking and sputtering. Took back to dealer who did software update for transmission. One week later, loud squealing brakes. Dealer said they're fine, common with a new car. Four months later, while re-fueling, the entire capless tank housing came out with the gas nozzle at the pump! Dealer replaced part. Brakes still squaling loudly with no fix!!! Really regretful. A month after that, fuel filler door fell off. Pillar was defective and had to be replaced. Sun visor snapped off. Now, another recall issued. Brakes squeak embarrasingly loud with no fix.

kept us safe and was very fun to drive
I had own my first Renegade trailhawk for almost 7 months and loved her! The renegade was amazing in snowdrifts and bad snowy roads I always felt like I had control. She was totaled one morning a few weeks ago when a young lady turn left crossing two lanes into mine. I was not able to stop in time Tboning the other car around 40/45 miles a hour. My insurance agency said he has not seen one in a accident yet however this jeep got 5 stars in his eyes. My 9 year old nephew who was in the back seat and myself walked away. I did have a bruised knee from the lower leg airbag but we walked away the jeep did its job and kept us safe. I did have a few problems with her the locks would not lock or unlock however this was a quick fix and the dealership. I now am having issues with my new jeep same as the first one. This may be a once in a lifetime problem however the cap to the battery cables came off getting caught in the fan burning the fan motor. this is being replaced as we speak. Also I have notice when I back up the brakes squeak they are also looking into this on my new jeep I have had less than two weeks. My dealership has been amazing and have quickly fixed any problems I have come across which is not many. Needless to say I loved my Renegade trailhawk so much that when I had a clean start to get any other car I choose to have another renegade. She kept me safe and was fun to play with in the snow.

Surprised
New model, new problems, just purchased rain guards for windows, hopefully this will stop water coming in, door locks quit working at 2800 miles, computer module needed reset, front brakes need replaced with bolts to be added, always had Wranglers and never had issues, question if this was a smart purchase but dealership (Scheidemantle Motors) have been great. Keeping fingers crossed.
