2017 Jeep Renegade Sport 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
5 of 13 people found this review helpful
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)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful
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.

I bought a 2017 Renegade Desertawk. The Deserthawk isn't on the Jeep menu with Edmunds. So I am reviewing the Trailhawk mostly the same but the Deserthawk has a few more features. I prefered. The rene will crawl rocks, take you to town, cruise the highway, work, riding desert sand dunes or getting dirty in mud. I sold my Rubicon it was not comfortable enough and the confort features were missing. That's the true rugged. In the rene I have it all. I can rock crawl on weekends to the beats premium sound. it rides nice. Turning is tight. Take off the roof panels enjoy the sun. I have the touch screen for navigation, media, everything. Lots of room in cargo area in back. Back seats fold down makes for great interior space. This for me replaced the wonderful Jeep Liberty. Fewer downsides, gas mileage isn't great. I'm getting on average 17 to the gallon. The engine is peppy. I don't feel low power but when I hard accelerate it sucks gas. Stay off the pedal more and fuel consumption about 20. It's heavy and my tires are on the larger side adds weight. We love Jeeps because of the incredible range to build our own design. The real gem is affordable fun!! These are catching on sort went unnoticed. I suspect costs could go up on used. There are rene clubs on facebook for support and share. Jeep is a culture with cool people of all ages. The Jeep brand is a social community.

She's still the one

I posted a positive review when my car was just over 1 year old. She's now at 50K miles in 2-1/2 years of driving. I still look forward to getting into my Renegade every day. Yesterday, I stowed 2 push mowers in the hatch area with no issue (rear seats down, of course). I've had only one issue so far. I noticed about 6 months ago that I was starting to hear some front end noise over bumps, nothing too intrusive, just a little extra thumping. I got the car up on a lift and discovered that I had some play in my stabilizer links. Picked up 2 new ones for $60 and installed them myself. Voila, problem gone. I've done about 10 oil changes to date and replaced all four original tires this past winter for a very reasonable price since I have the 16" alloy wheels and 16" tires happen to be rather inexpensive these days. All in all, I couldn't be happier, especially for the price I paid. This little turbo four motor is a hoot and the clutch is still holding up great on my Jeepie. It's really a shame they stopped offering the manual trans. That was the best version of the Renegade - top shelf motor and tranny. Even my dealer service guy told me I did a nice job choosing the 1.4T, he says they rarely have problems with that engine.

Can’t wait to get rid of my renegade

Can’t wait to get rid of my renegade. I have a 2017 jeep renegade limited. About a month after I purchased it I got a recall and it took nine months for the part to come in. I’ve had to bring in the car at least four times during the three-year warranty After it was out of warranty there were burnt coils that had to be replaced. And a few other things I had to bring it in for. The acceleration is terrible. And whenever I brake, the car shakes a little. And when I brought it in they said the car was fine. I’m going to try and trade it in at the Honda dealer next week. This car was the biggest mistake I have ever made when purchasing a car.

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.

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

The vehicle is mostly good, it handles well, shifts beautifully, and is comfortable. However, right around 30k, the drivers side speaker went out - apparently a common electronic issue - and oil changes are difficult DIY and near impossible from quick change places because of filter location and the European components. Still enjoy it, but the Fiat/Jeep blend didn't land smoothly
Am I going to make it?

Please don't buy one, I got a lemon. Just lucky it hasn't shut down on me completely yet. Had every dash light come on that can come on. Couldn't take it out of park, couldn't shut it off. The service engine light came on,as well as service parking brake, hill climb assist and traction control. I love the look and drive, that being said I need something reliable living out in the country. Not recommended.

At the time of purchase the sales guy told me this Jeep was GREAT on gas because i drive 50 plus miles a day i need something good on gas! This can’t be further from the truth!! Not only do i have to fill up twice a week, my family and I took our first road trip 950 miles and we had to stop and fill up at least 24 times!!! I can’t even begin to tell you how much time we wasted doing this. Per the specs on this car we are supposed to get a out 32 miles a gallon, we were lucky to even get 18 (and we just had a system upgrade because it was shifting hard). I am truly sadden that i am stuck with this thing

My Jeep Renegade Limited Edition i 4x4 is in my opinion,a great vehicle to enjoy all year round. Excellent in snow and muddy roads, very nimble in traffic -easy to park My Renegade is equipped with a 2.4 engine matted with a 9 speed automatic transmission, fuel mileage could be better in town driving Better fuel mileage on the Highway... very peppy engine though. My Renegade also has the removable roof panels -great for enjoying the summer sunshine. I've enjoyed the Jeep ever since I bought it 2 years ago (May 13 2022) ,it has never once let me down ... always reliable.
