A recall waiting to happen

Rory Airhart, 03/29/2018

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

Completely shuts off while freeway driving. Three times. Once I was told it was a simple computer reset that was needed. Three months later, they could not find an issue. 3rd time, about three weeks later I was told it needed a software upgrade. But I contacted corporate and turns out it needed several updates. But I suspect it’s sonething much more major. And based on NHTSA website, my …

A real gem of a deal

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

My sincere advice: Get the manual 2wd. Seriously, this is the lightest, fastest, simplest, most reliable, & most fun-to-drive iteration of this vehicle. I know, you need awd to get thru rain and snow. No, actually you don't. Wake up and stop watching Subaru commercials. I saw 3 cars in the ditch during our snowstorm last Sat. & they were all awd/4wd vehicles. Are you a real …

Compact, but roomy and reliable

The gas mileage is great for an SUV, it's compact enough that I can literally park in compact parking spots but it's still roomy enough for me to …

RUN FROM THE TRAILHAWK

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

I owned my Trainlhawk three weeks before it went to the service department for the first time. The heated seats came on by themselves without a warning light. They re-programmed the car. Three days later the navigation system would not work, so they ordered a new one. One week later, while pulling up to a red light, the car would not accelerate when the light changed. The Jeep had …
