The comfort level and features were excellent in my Renegade Trailhawk, but going through a buy-back now because of reliability issues. Add on that the engine will cut power at inopportune times, like pulling out with cross traffic coming, the very small gas tank, way worse than advertised gas mileage, the 9 speed transmission paired with a 4-cylinder engine, and a few other small items, and I can't get rid of this vehicle fast enough.

So far I love the way the vehicle looks and drives for the most part. The ride is a bit rough, but when buying the trailhawk version I knew that would be the case. The gas mileage not bad Highway is 25-26 city is 18-20. The vehicle gets me where I need to go on the highway and takes me off the road well as well.

After buying this car new it started having technical problems within 3 months. I have had the sunroof fixed twice, the computer system replaced, ac bracket fixed and back in again for another computer issue. They sent the videos I took to the manufacturer and no one knows what's wrong. The dealership says they won't replace it but I can trade it in (which means I lose a year of payments made on the loan) I'll drive it until warranty goes out then by a different SUV (not a jeep) Save yourself the trouble and buy something else!!!

Bought the 2016 new and had nothing but problems with the computer system beginning with the first oil change. Every time I had the oil changed all of the sensors would malfunction. I would have to go back to the dealer get a loaner and they would keep the car for a few days and then tell me it needed some type of an update to the computer system. When the vehicle reached 15000 miles I asked the dealer to explain what would happen after the warranty expired and they suggested that I trade it in before that happened. It was their professional opinion that there was not a problem with the vehicle as long as they could fix it regardless of the number of times is occurred and if it happened after the warranty expired I would be completely responsible for the cost. I was a little confused as to how changing the oil created an issue with the computer system on the vehicle but since it happened every single time it must be some internal control Jeep has to require updates every 5000 miles. No so bad while it is under warranty but they advised me the updates were quite costly outside of the warranty. They would, however, make me a great deal on a new Jeep if I was interested. Well I took their advice but would never buy another Jeep product. Traded it in the next day on a Nissan Rogue.
Very Disappointed

I bought the 2016 Renegade looking for a decent size, but small, SUV that could be driven if it snowed. The first week or so was ok, even though the power was horrible. I have never been in a car that has an engine that vibrates as much as this one. You could literally cut a whole in the hood and put a intruding air intake and they would think it had a mini hemi in it. The 2nd week I had it the entertainment center would reset my stations and setting every time I turned off the car, then it would reset the backup camera settings and remove the guide lines. After a few weeks going back and forth to the dealer, they resolved it. The traction control is horrible. Just hope you never pull out in traffic and have any wheel slip or your going to be toast, because the engine practically shuts down and no matter how hard you press that gas peddle, it does NOTHING. Not a good thing when something is coming at you fast and waiting for you to get out of the way. I also do not like how the car will get stuck in certain revving levels and rev up real high for no reason and then eventually go back down without any intervention from you. I DO NOT recommend this car for ANYONE. And the resell value is DESPICABLE. You pay 30k for a fully loaded trailhawk and less that one year and 20k miles it is work about 20k. A very good sign that after someone owns one, they are not wanting another. Dropping 10k or more in 1 year tells me this car really sucks and now I am stuck with it, unless I am willing to throw 10k down the drain.
