Cheap parts , unreliable service

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

I love almost everything about this vehicle. The few complaints I have are minor. There are no cup holders for the backseat. The two for the front seat are in the center console and mainly in the way. The center console is positioned too far back to be used comfortably. Other than those things; I love my Renegade :)

iPhone the car two years. And it’s been reliable. It’s been in the shop a couple times for electrical issues in regards to the passive entry system. It also was in for the air-conditioner leaking. But other than that it’s a fun little car if you get the manual. I would avoid the automatic as that transmission has a lot of issues. It uses engine from the Fiat Abarth which is a lot of fun and there are a lot of aftermarket parts if you would like to tune in. Cruising around on the highway I get between 37 and 40 mpg.

Very disappointing

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?

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
