Trailer hitch--- out of sight price! $1200 plus if dealer installed. traction control can be turned off. if you dont you loose power in a tight turn entering a highway. ( I never liked it on other cars but i could turn it off) ride is good. fairly quite. and a lot of fun to drive. arm rest are poorly position ( door side is to far out, console is not confortable.) and it got noisy ??? its not a car that I can sit back and relax ( electric power steering) oil change $52.95 at dealer. stupid! I do it my self for $22 or go to muffler man for $25.

Bought it because of size and price It has air, cruise and standard radio Having bought many vehicles since the 60s I expected the usual recalls etc. I havent had one with our 2017 Renegade Sport. We got the 2 wheel drive with manual 6 speed We average 35 mpg combined . In long relatively flat areas like Kansas , Florida I've gotten 40mpg .The only issue was a leaking air-conditioning hose. We travel quite a bit usually camping and the car fits us perfectly with enough cargo room for our equipment. The seats are comfortable enough for long drives without backaches or bottom getting numb. : ). As of 2/19/2021 We have over 46,000 miles on it .No issues with high oil consumption.

The 2017 Renegade has many problems. From the shutting down when driving to electrical problems making you unsure if you're going to make it to your destination without breaking down and sluggish taking off from a stop and harsh shifting from gear to gear. Chrysler has been taken to court for these problems in 2015 and apparently they didn't learn from the experience...this model is just as bad. Even after the recall fuel module replacement it still is sluggish and now the fuel mileage is worse.

Best Jeep I have ever owned.

I recently got rid of my terrible Patriot and upgraded to the 2.4 L Jeep Renegade Limited. The interior is incredible! Gray leather seats, with orange and brown accents. Leather wrapped heated steering wheel, heated seats, an AC outlet in the back seat,... I do ride share and literally everyone who gets in my car compliments the interior. I was surprised how fast it can take off compared to my patriot and the loaner 2018 Jeep Compass I had. There’s a bit of a delay when you push the gas petal but It will throw you back in your seat once it takes off. Gas mileage isn’t very great, but anyone who owns a Jeep knows that Jeeps are not known for their great gas mileage. All in all, this is my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned and I’m so happy to have purchased this car. It’s at about 50k miles right and not a single problem or sign of an issue that I can see. Keeping my fingers crossed. My patriot was a nightmare.

If it is broke, you can't drive it

Very stylish looking car. Trailhawk claims to be "Trail Ready". With two ply polyester sidewall tires it is not ready for rocky trails. In 50K miles we have had coils go out on two cylinders. The resulting stuttering is very dangerous in cross traffic. The dealership misdiagnosed the issue as motor mounts because the engine light did not activate. Apparently mechanics can no longer diagnose if the computer does not give them the code. No engine light warning, no code. We were able to get most of the $1400 for motor mounts refunded.
