Ok, this is not your Honda CRV. I've had 4 CRV's and 2 Accords in 35 years. They were boringly dependable and just that. When i first saw pics of the Renegade I knew it was a matter of time. I am a firm believer of poaching good ideas who needs to reinvent the wheel so to speak. I love my new (3 weeks) Renegade TH. I knew it would be different than the CRV, it is not a vehicle for someone with a glass butt. Here are my takes on some ways to make it so much better. Replace that driver seat, copy the Buick Regal seat why don't you, this is a sure weekly visit to the chiropractor. That rear view camera needs to be cleaned up, copy what the CRV does, clear, wider and closer angles so practical. Also, put a women in on the interior design section, no places to put coins. There is easily a couple spots up front for this. And some storage nooks in the back into the sidewalls and a cable net to secure stuff, you left the hooks for it but no net and on a $31000 car just do it. Love the full spare tire. The navigation needs a lot of work. Why does the road map show both sides of the highway choked with traffic when only one side is busy? Why did my iPhone disconnect from the bluetooth within a week? Why is only one fog light on at a time? All the chatter about the lack of pickup in speed honestly if you need to go 0-60 in 4.3 seconds buy a Porsche, this is a Jeep dumb head. The seat fix is the first thing Jeep needs to do, the rest should be on the front burner.

When we purchased this Renegade in May we were ecstatic. Then the problems began, the moment we drove it off the lot. A coil burnt up in the motor before we could get a mile down the road. It took them a month to repair the coil because Italy kept sending the wrong parts. Then the window seal was broken and we could not figure out what the noise was for the longest time! I took a week for them to repair that. Then the computer has been going hay-wire, telling me that I need to service my four-wheel drive (That has never been turned on), my power steering needed to be service (It didn't even have 5,000 miles on it), my transmission needed to be serviced (we had barely had the car for 5 months, I also drive like a grandma). And last but not least, we locked the car at Wal-mart and it decided it wasn't going to unlock again. Thank God we don't have key less entry or we probably would have had to call a friend to come and pick us up. I'm extremely disappointed in this car considering I've been begging my fiance to get me one since the concept for it came out.

I went for the TrailHawk as it had the 4 wheel drive system I wanted. The lower/other models did not. I can only speak for the Trailhawk and I think it's great. The only complaint is the the transmission on the highway hesitates and shifts gears a second or two too slowly.

Big Mistake

We wanted to buy our daughter a cute but dependable car. We bought a 2015 Jeep Renegade with less than 100 miles. Before it even reached 1000 miles the brakes were squeaking. Finally around 1500 miles we had the front brakes totally replaced. Not more than 2 months later we had to take it back for the back brakes to be totally replace with only 500 additional miles on the car. Now, three months later, we are getting ready to take it back because the electric locks will not work. On all three occasions the service department says, "Yes, we've been seeing a few Renegades with this problem". So much for dependable.

I come from a Jeep family and this is NOT a Jeep - the new Renegade is a flat ouT LEMON! The electrical system is as faulty as it can possibly get. Door locks went out before the first oil change - had to climb in through the trunk to get into my car. At the dealer and he said it will be 2 days before they even look at it. Asked what the issue "could be" and the look the service manager gave me was grim, then he said, "could be anything". I bought a brand new car because I didn't want used car problems. Aside from the electrical sysyem, which in itself will cause u to take a crowbar to the thing, it's noisey, sluggish, slightly uncomfortable, it handles like it's 10ft off the ground instead of 2ft, the turbo kicks in only after you have abused it into the 3,500 rpm range, the uconnect system is faulty, it has HUGE blindspots, and is overall not a good value. Also, the dealerships (bought mine at Nyle Maxwell in Austin Texas) have no - NO idea on how to fix this vehicle. It's like they don't have a clue how to fix the car at all. I swear this vehicle runs on Windows from 2000, and gives you the blue screen of death. In retrospect I should have bought an old beater or a bicycle. At least I would know what the issue is. I will never, ever buy another Jeep or Crystal er product again. Ever. NEVER. They are crooks, selling a faulty product with cool advertising - nothing more. Before you buy one of these pieces of absolute dog crap, look elsewhere. You may think you will be happy in this vehicle, but trust me in less than 60 days you will be at the dealership wondering how you got into this mess and you'll be stuck with a lemon and a fat monthly payment. Overall I'm greatly disppointed and I feel ripped off.
