Window down noise is unbearable

Could have made better use of compartments inside. But most mind blowing is the unbearable noise with winds down. Can’t begin to imagine how one single vehicle was put on the road with this problem. Can NOT fit car seat in backseat. I hate this car.

Car looks great, but WAY too many issues

My car has 17,000 miles on it and I've had issues with it since I bought it. First, repairs are costly and take FOREVER. Parts have to come from Italy because of Fiat, and the car was so new that when I got into a fender bender on the freeway, it took MONTHS to fix my vehicle because parts weren't available. Why would you put a car on the market when you don't have the resources to fix it? Since then, I've had a total collapse in the technology and security system, and I'm currently waiting for a new transmission to be put in because mine is completely shot. Word at the dealership is that I'm not the only one having this issue. I had to call around to multiple Jeep/Chrysler dealerships just to find one that had capacity to look at my car, which had been refusing to start, or REFUSING TO SHUT OFF when I was able to get it to start. This many issues and this much maintenance on a brand new car is just heartbreaking...I wouldn't recommend this purchase.

WORST VEHICLE, DEALER, MANUFACTURER EVER...
JB, 07/14/2016
2016 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

1. First to second gear shifts “hard” 2. General feeling as if the transmission is “drunk” 3. When braking, the transmission downshifts “hard” almost alarmingly so. Is unnerving when going around corners and parking. 4. Reverse is doing something weird. I reverse slowly with foot on brake and the transmission feels like it’s trying to fight the braking, like go faster, almost “pulsing” back. 5. Changing gears often feels like it’s revving too high and transmission suddenly “remembers” to shift, and is uncomfortable (not a smooth ride at all). DON'T GO TO BAXTER IN OMAHA, DON'T BUY THIS VEHICLE. WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. BEEN TO DEALERSHIP OVER 10 TIMES. DEALER PRETENDS LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. PROMISED CHRYSLER REP WOULD COME OUT TO LOOK AT VEHICLE BUT THAT NEVER HAPPENED. CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY WANT ME TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AGAIN (WHY? IS 3RD TIME A CHARM?). (SO THAT THEY DON'T THINK I COPIED THE ABOVE MY INITIALS ARE JB '78. SENT THE ABOVE EMAIL TO RSCHRODER 5/31/16. HOPE YOU LIKE THE REVIEW...)

One of the worst cars I have ever driven

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

They bill this as an SUV and a Jeep - it is more like a Prius. It has absolutely no power, handles poorly and cannot drive on even well-maintained gravel roads. I tried to visit my home in the mountains of NC and have in the past done so using the Toyota Corolla, which at least succeeded at getting to my house. I have to park half a mile away in the renegade as it could not go up the steep incline. I strongly suggest anyone who considers this cars drive it around for a while first.

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?!)
