I purchased a Renegade 2 months ago and it's the worst purchase I have ever made. It started off on day two when I tried to roll the windows down, but only 3 of the 4 worked. Got that fixed, then I had to have molding replace. The cruise control sucks when going through the mountains. The Uconnect is a joke. It's totally useless when it works. The bluetooth doesn't connect to the phone correctly, so when it connects it says iPhone (13) instead of Jason's Phone. The door jams also hold water so if it rains heavily, rain collects in the door jams and when I open the door, water pours out onto my shoes. Tried trading it in, but it's lost 7000 in value in 2 months.
Worst Vehicle I've Owned

The Jeep Renegade is the worst vehicle I've ever owned. I purchased it new in November 2015 and within 10 months, had to get it serviced for four different major issues. I am extremely disappointed in Jeep for producing such a poor quality vehicle. • March 2016 – A “rock” punctured a hole in the air conditioning unit causing the A/C fluid to leak out. This resulted in an $800 repair that was not covered under warranty. I still find it hard to believe that a rock was able to get into this location, especially with enough force to puncture a hole in the A/C unit. I had never even taken this vehicle off road. I believe the part was either defective or damaged when I purchased it. • April 2016 – The Jeep began making a terrible squealing noise and brought it in for service. I captured an audio file and provided it to the service department. They believed they corrected the issue but the squealing noise continued. I returned the Jeep to the service department yet again. This time, they ended up finding a rock in the rotor area that was causing the issue. • August 2016 – The Jeep’s power locks failed so it was returned to the service department. The power locks were not working from the key fob or from the door panel and had to be manually locked and unlocked. This is a safety hazard! I made yet another appointment with the service department. They downloaded software upgrades and found that a part for the power locks was bad and needed replacement. I was informed a new part would arrive within 3-5 days. (Note: As of 9/21/16, 36 days later, the part still has not arrived!) • August 2016 – While I was calling the service department for a status on the ordered part to fix the Jeep’s power locks, I also reported additional issues, as noted below: (1) The parking brake now automatically sets every time the Jeep is placed into Park. This was not happening prior to the 8/16/16 service and I was not informed about it. (2) The hood will no longer open. Again, this was not happening prior to the 8/16/16 service. (Note: During the 8/16/16 service, an oil change was also performed.) (3) The key gets stuck in the ignition after the car is placed into Park and will not release. In order to get the key removed, the vehicle has to be removed from Park and then forcefully placed back into Park.

I had very high hopes when I bought this car. I had a Liberty that I absolutely loved. I hoped that the Renegade would be a wonderful replacement for the Liberty. Pretty much the only good things I can say about it are the size (it has a great turn radius!) and the gas mileage. Unfortunately, I've already had to have the ignition completely replaced, they've adjusted the transmission more times than I can count and they dealership said they're just waiting for it to be recalled, it rattles as it goes down the road and I just had a tiny fender bender at less than ten miles an hour that completely destroyed the impact bar under the bumper. It didn't crack the bumper, but cracked a tiny grill in the bumper, which I took in to be replaced. When they took off the bumper, the impact bar was barely hanging on by a thread. They thought that I had been in a major accident and couldn't believe that the airbags didn't go off based on how the impact bar looked; I don't think I was even going ten miles an hour. Needless to say, I'm selling this car while it's still under warranty.

SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE HAS NO REVERSE/POOR SHIFTING

I bought my 2015 Jeep Renegade 4x4 brand new around 1K the vehicle started getting a kick when shifting into gear. Kicks when going up hills, has a skip to it when stopping the vehicle. Wheels lock up when coming to a complete stop when you try hitting the gas to move again. when the vehicle warms up and you go to back up I have no reverse/no power sometimes I got stuck in the middle of a road. Keep taking the vehicle to the local Jeep dealer all they do is tell me the computer needed to reset.

The car is not built for longevity!

I loved the car when I first bought it four years ago. The mpg is great and things were smooth for the first year or so. I began to experience issues with the radio where it would just randomly go out and the screen would be black as well as the back up camera not working. Then came the mother of all issues in year 3 of owning the vehicle which was the faulty transmission. The car would jerk forward and come to a halt after I would accelerate from a rolling start. At first the problem was inconsistent then as time went on the issue has become a consistent problem when driving the car. I took the car to the dealership to get the issue repaired. They completed some type of software update and as soon as I drove off the lot the car jerked forward right into traffic. The service center had me waiting for 8 hours to fix this issue that wasn’t even corrected. I have done my research and found that the transmission is faulty and this is a manufacture issue but Jeep did not issue a recall. I advise people to purchase the later model Renegades and not the 2015 model.
