Best Jeep I have ever owned.

2017 Jeep Renegade Limited 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
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.

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

I've had my 2017 trailhawk in the dealership for warranty work nearly 30 times now. Had a transmission replacement at 1,500 miles, 8 software updates for the TCM, 2 TCM replacements, wiring harness replacement, valve body replacement, and 2 new sets of cooling fans. The transmission is still not right and begins slipping so bad that it goes into limp mode, at which point I only have 5th gear. Hopefully I can get an arbitration and a buy back.

I bought the Jeep Renegade used with only 22,000 miles on it. I realized I made a big mistake purchasing this suv, after a month of having it. The issues were not starting up when it was cold old side. I would have to wait then press the auto start on keys to get car to start. The ignition coil went bad and needed to be replaced after 6 months. Had to also change all the spark plugs too. The tire pressure light came on after 9 months. It’s just been one thing after another. I would not recommend this small suv to anyone.

The transmission on these cars is complete garbage, acceleration is non-existent, the clunky transmission is constantly jerking between gears, technology is completely obsolete compared to other 2017 base-level trims. Multiple trips to dealer to address transmission clunkiness and their excuse is always that these cars have an “adaptive transmission” that learns how you drive, so if you gun it to merge onto an interstate once, the car will assume you always drive that way. Good try, Jeep. The car looks cool, but performance is shoddy at best.

DON'T DO IT! I owned my Renegade for a year- commuting to and from work - a couple short road trips - nothing crazy. I don't race or take this car off road. Then the clutch gave out - with less than 11000 miles on it. I had bought the car with several warranties on it - only to learn that the clutch isn't covered at all under any of them. Also after shopping around to get the work done I learned that its such a poorly made part that no other shop will touch it since they can't guarantee the work. so now I'm being grossly over charged for the work with no other option. - I wouldn't recommend getting this car or working with the people that sell them
