2017 Renegade Trailhawk....do not bother.

Bought a used 2017 Renegade Trailhawk with 20000 miles on it in 2018. I have taken 5-6 road trips. At 22000 check engine light started going and off. All light notifications came on at times. 53000 miles 4x4 not available. 65000 miles left rear lights went out. It was not the bulbs or the assembly still trying to figure that one out. Sound system has always had problems. Fortunately I will soon be rid of it.

Problem after problem. I had to take it in every 6-8 weeks due to issue after issue including the battery, the engine, the cooling fan and so much more.

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.

Very nice City driver with the off road capability

It's a nice baby Jeep, The Trailhawk is set up for off road driving so in city driving with bad road it's great. Just do rust to get it, shop around and make sure you get all the options you want. I test drove a few Trailhawks and the one I got didn't have a trail hitch with I didn't find out till I got home because I thought it had the trail package like all the others I test drove. Also didn't have the MySky which really makes it a cool car if you get it. I should had waited and checked things out better. But it is a cool car.

Worst car I have ever purchased

It’s one thing after the next. 42000 miles and has been in the shop several times. It seriously has a problem monthly. This month my window locks don’t work and the heated seats, back defrost and steering wheel heat come on automatically when I start it. When you pull out and make a sharp Turn it literally almost stops. My taillight went out last month not the bulb the entire system. 350$. Bought this new and have regretted it ever since. Don’t buy.
