2017 Jeep Renegade Sport 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I purchased a 2015 Jeep Renegade sport 1.4; the first new car I have ever, and probably will ever purchase. I purchased this car from Napleton in Elwood City, PA, this is where my terrible experience began. The salesman was not familiar with the vehicle and after expressing how important bluetooth /handsfree abilities were to me, he assured me it was bluetooth capable, even offering to set this feature up for me, I declined at this time as I was capable of doing so myself. It was only after purchasing the car and leaving the dealership that I realized it did not have this amenity. The dealership offered me an inadequate bluetooth adapter and a free detail, during the detail they broke the hood release and did not fix it or even mention it to me. You would understand that i have not and will not return to this dealership. The salesman also did not tell me this car was a turbo, making it a bit more difficult to service, though this was also my fault for lack of research. I recently had to replace the waste-gate hose. This was a scavenger hunt all on its own. Even with the VIN number, photo of the part within the car and part number, the very helpful parts associate at three rivers chrysler was unable to identify the needed part. It was only after a week of communicating with someone overseas and ordering 3 different parts in hopes of one being correct that we discovered which part it was. It was around this time I started having trouble with my vehicle shifting. After having it completely break down on me on the way home from work, I had it towed to three rivers where they told me I required a new clutch at only 58000 miles. As a person who seeks out manual transmission vehicles exclusively I have become very skilled at driving this type of vehicle. My last 3 manual transmission cars were still in operation at 130000+ miles. I purchased these vehicles used and never had to replace a clutch in any of them (Mitsubishi Lancer, Pontiac G5 and Ford Escort). To replace a clutch at 58000 on a vehicle that was purchased new is astounding to me and suggests a manufacturing or material error. After reading numerous reviews, I see that the clutch is an issue in this specific vehicle across the board. I feel slighted having to pay the cost of a new clutch because my car is not within the basic warranty in such a scenario and find it to be unfair as well as poor customer service. Moreso, I was told that since my car is outside of warranty I was responsible for paying for ECU updates. The customer is expected to pay for aftermarket updates to the computer?

2017 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

While the Trailhawk has capability, it's best use is suburban and not for urban or rural living. Engine appears to run hot but according to gages, it is normal. The transmission is noisy and sluggish on shifting and acceleration. Gas milage is only fair. Cargo capacity is very limited. The full size spare tire is a excellent attribute. GPS option and Sirius radio option are recommended. Backup lights are of poor illumination and higher intensity of LED lights throughout the vehicle, including interior,are recommended.

My 2017 renegade only has 65,000 mi on it I have had to dump money in it on multiple repairs now there's a mystery problem with it on top of the fact that my transmission sticks. I made the mistake of not researching this piece of junk before I bought it now I'm stuck with the lemon I'm making payments on and I can't afford to fix it has constant problems avoid this piece of junk at all costs

I was so happy to finally buy my 2017 4x4 Renegade after over a year of saving and a trade in. I only her for 7 months and only drove her 2500 miles but WOW I loved her. All 5 of us were on our way to celebrate my daughters birthday when a truck hit us from the from the front driver sides. All the air bag opened up and minus some cuts and bruises we are all ok. (I noticed the trucks air bags didn't go off?) Looking at the pictures of the accident, I am reminded that if I was in my old car, we would have rolled, flipped and we would have been seriously injured or worse. When I am able to buy another vehicle, I am buying JEEP. So if your looking for comfort, reliability, trust and Safety.. I recommend whole hearty, buy a jeep.it saved our lives.
