Fun for just driving around. Bought it brand new and had some electronic issues early on that come and go. This little Jeep gets pushed around in the snow pretty bad and does poorly in the dirt at best. Put biggest agressive tires I could and have the slight lift inclueded in the Trailhawk but doesn't really make a difference. I've owned Jeeps all my life. Minimal capabilities but my son loves it for cruising around town.

Other shoppers should know the price on the car and how good of a car it is.

Horrible SUV

This Jeep is horrible. Had it for 8 months and have taken it to the dealer five times. First time was for the driver seat belt making a clicking noise. To find out the bolt holding the seat belt to the B pillar wasn't tight enough and I could hear the crush washer clicking. The next issue was the airbag and traction control lights came on and didn't clear tell the dealer ship. The PMC was updated and thats all Jeep knew about to do. The third time the window regulator cable went out on the passenger window and the window wouldn't close. A month later there was a rattling noise in the same door to find out that the door bracket busted. And finally a stress crack in the windshield with only 8500 miles on the jeep. I wouldn't recommend this Jeep to anyone. Too many little things happening in less than 10,000 miles. Traded this in got a different car. Cant imagine what would happen in the long term specially reading the engine blew out and transmission failed reviews.

Electrical adventure

We purchased a 2016 75th Anniversary Edition Jeep Renegade. We loved the look of this Jeep. It wasn't your traditional looking Jeep but we aren't into the normal traditional looking vehicles. This is definitely something different. NOW THE ISSUES: This Jeep has been an electrical nightmare! It's been back to the shop at least 7 times for a tire pressure sensor to have repaired. It runs about 50 miles after the repair then the service light for the sensor comes back on. The service people at Jeep can't seem to resolve the issue. The problem still exists without any resolution. It's also been in for repair because the brain in the radio went out. They fixed that issue to have to return it back to the shop a few weeks later because the 4×4 electrical switch failed. You could not switch into four wheel drive. Lastly the fan motor on the radiator went out and also fried the fan sensor. When I tell you that I miss my Kia' s that I had for over four years and that they have never been in the shop, you know it's serious, especially coming from a family of a Chrysler workers. PLEASE STOP WITH THE CHEAP MEXICO AND CHINESE PARTS! THAT IS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, I'M SURE! ALONG WITH QUANTITY OVER QUALITY!
