Where to start. When selling dealer delivered the Jeep we noticed a heavy vibration during idle. We were told that was normal, it was a Jeep, they do that. We didn't know any better. It kept getting worse to the point that the sound inside the Jeep was deafening. First time in for repairs - one week in the shop - software updates, nothing else, can't reproduce the problem (it happened every time the vehicle was running). Problem still existed. Second time in the shop, motor mounts are bad and need replaced - dealer never orders parts, we take our vehicle back after five more days. We are told if we want to return to that dealer we need to agree to pay for $400 in maintenance. Third time in the shop, a different dealer, four more days - motor mounts replaced, intake hose replaced intake housing replaced, won't know until this weekend if that resolves it. New dealer says other dealer was quoting for 32k mile maintenance, we're 10k away from that, no reason for them to require that (beware of shady Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep service shops). Other issues - brakes squeaking loudly after 15k miles (dealer - that's normal, no action taken). Cruise control is off by 1-11 MPH regardless of road/incline (dealer - can't reproduce, no action taken - we provided pictures to show the issue, they still denied it's happening (both dealers)). Excessive rattling of every plastic part inside the Jeep (dealer - blank stare). Transmission - don't get me started. Worst transmission I've ever dealt with (dealer - that's normal, we'll apply a software fix). No change no matter how many times they've tried to update the software. Strange sounds, hard shifting, weird mid shift pauses that almost cause us to be rear-ended.... Loud whistling in cabin while driving (dealer - bad door seals - replaced). Loud rattling from MySky panel (dealer - can't reproduce, no action taken). Gas Mileage - we took a 2600 mile trip with 90% highways and flat terrain never driving more than 5MPH over the speed limit. Our MPG at the end of the trip was 20.5. It's rated at 27 for the highway. With it's 12 gallon tank and 20MPH - if you enjoy stopping every 200 miles this is the vehicle for you (dealer - that's normal, no action taken). If we could go back in time we'd run away from this vehicle and we suggest others do the same. Not only is our local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep service shop full of a bunch of arrogant jerks but none of the service shops we've come across seem to know how to fix these things. Both shops have said there is no way the motor mounts should be bad this soon (given the vibration they've been bad since the beginning). Chryster corp is involved but refusing to do anything so we're stuck with the lemon that falls apart if we go over a pebble in the road. Don't waste your time with these.

2016 Renegade plagued with electrical issues. Jeep Corp is not interested in discussing the matters. Dealer service is their answer....dealer service isn't presenting a clear objective diagnosis. Tail light harness issue is the latest problem. All over the you find the same harness issue. It like Jeep doesn't know anything about it! Jeep corp just wants to not get involved even though it is a Safety hazard. I am fed up with dealing with corps that put CS on the front line as their defensive line backer. No more Jeep/Fiat purchases for me! Fed up Renegade

I have zero issues with my Renegade and I love it. I orded the sunroof and the 6-speed maunal when I bought mine in 2016. I had a small sensor issue the first few months but that was easy to fix and was 100% covered. I drive about 80 miles a day to work alone and I have almost 68,000 miles on my Renegade now. I've never put brakes on it, I've only put tires on it once so far and it goes like a TANK in the winter with 4X4. Not to mention I am currently getting 32.9 MPG with it. Stick and sunroof are by far my favorite things in it. It drives great and I have no issues with hooking up my IPhone to the Bluetooth and doing the navigation that way since I couldn't get the Navigation package with it and stick (dumb) - but I make it work.

Great, Fun Jeep You Won't Regret Getting

The Jeep renegade is often looked down upon by reviewers such as consumer reports for it's reliability and milage and practicality, but the reality when owning the car is a different expirience. Often times, consumer reports looks at things that are irrelevant in the general sense of owning a car. While studies they take show poor performance, the average user will find it to be very soothing and smooth. I have the manual transmission and it is absolutely wonderful. It shifts amazingly and is fun to drive. The interior is stylish and practical and the seats have nice bolsters and support. While you can get the Bose speaker sound system, the 6 speaker optional system has great sound quality. The software is simple and easy to use and quick. My overall verdict is that it is a great car for snow, comfort, and overall driving.

If you are looking for a compact SUV with a unique look and lots of options, then the Renegade is for you. I love the way it drives and it's lots of fun. The my on roof is a great feature too.
