2016 Jeep Renegade Latitude 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I had a 2016 jeep renegade. It's a great little run around car but......always seems to be a problem with the remote start. It's had electrical issues since we bought it new. It always gets fixed but now it's no longer under warranty and we have to pay for it. We have 2 friends that also have this car and they've had the same problems!!! Would NOT recommend it.

Flashy but lacking jeep

Although I upgraded for the Trailhawk edition, this jeep is everything you'd expect from a semi-rugged jeep - loud, slow, and basic. Although the technology that comes in the Renegades are great and fun with the beat by dre speakers and the detailing in the electronics - its hard to enjoy because the car rattles - even the dealerships I bought it from says the rattling and overall loudness of the car in idle and in motion is to be "expected when you own a jeep". If you do any traveling in which you need to get on and off the freeway or need to pass on the freeway - this is not your car. It is sluggish and sounds like it is going to explode when you are going over any hill/pass and need to go over 65mph. I have driven this car off-road and it handled good. Not as much clearance in dips and rocks... but it was enjoyable and fun off-roading. I have had this car 2 seasons in the snow and it handles really well. My biggest complaint is that in the 2 years I have owned this vehicle I have taken it in several times for service warnings... not routine maintenance. And every time it isn't just a day to find and fix the problem. Because I just have the basic warranty I will be trading this car in before my warranty is up. I do think it is important to point out that my husband is a jeep guy and we have owned several jeeps - this is the first jeep we have bought and been unsatisfied with. In addition this is the first jeep in which my husband can't change the oil at home because of all the undercarraige and scrape plate removal you have to take off to be able to just do the simple job. (FIAT changes?!)

2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

All of the doors locked and my 4 year old was in the car!!!! The doors would not open. We had to bust the window to get him out. All the lights and blinkers would stop working while driving down the road randomly. The transmission does not switch in and out of gears properly causing you to have no go. It is scary on the highway not being able to get past 45 because the car wont go. I was told by the dealership it was all being caused by the computer. They reprogrammed. A week later my son is stuck in my vehicle. I could go on and on about all the transmission problems. The door locks was the final straw though!!

One of the WORST cars I've ever owned

I had bought this car due to its affordable price point for a new car, but I ended up trading it in within a year of owning it, because it kept dying on me, and was NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. The battery kept dying, and for this being a new car, I would not recommend this car for ANYONE.

Jeep Renegade Latitude

Very happy with my Jeep. There is a lot of attention to detail and driving down the road it is more unique than the average ride. The tail lights are bright and stick out so it is good reassurance on feeling I will not be rear ended. The Latitude is a lot more quiet than I thought it would be. It handles very well and I look forward to driving it this winter. If I had to point out any downfalls it would be that the transmission takes a few seconds too long to go into first. The head rest is also a bit far forward for my liking.
