RUN FROM THE TRAILHAWK
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 died and all of the interior functions were still working and I did not feel the Jeep die. Fortunately in rush hour I was not hit from behind. The dealer has now had my Jeep 3 weeks, unable to find out why it died in traffic. Run from this vehicle. This is a systemic problem, with many complaints on the NHTSA website. Jeep corporate has no solution for this vehicle's problems.

This is a Jeep not a wannabee all wheel drive!
This is my third New Jeep and I really like this little one. PROS, I like the skid plates for starters and on my recent road trip from the Colorado Rockies to Ocean Shores Washington I ran over a truckers short wood 4x4 for there truck beds on the freeway at 70 mph. And I could not do anything except hit it and the plates stopped any damage to my jeep, but a few miles down the road I seen at least 3 cars disabled from this large debris. Now I wanted the plates for off road but they had a bonus for everyday driving. The controls and well placed and it is easy to use. On my trip I drove over 12 hours each day and I was very comfortable. CONS, my large copilot dog that did knock my automatic transmission into manual mode many times before she understood that was not good, so it is a bit tight in the front seats if you have a large dog that hog's the front seat keep a eye on the tachometer! Oh and fishing poles that are 6 foot or larger must be centered and ran over the armrest. OTHER THOUGHTS, I bought this for its gas mileage and it is good for a very capable four wheel drive and for its size I feel there is no comparison, because it is a Jeep not a wannabee all wheel drive! There is a difference when you pull off that comfortable road.

One complaint
The falken wildpeak tires are horrible. Wore out at 20,000 miles. I read a review and the person used the word terrifying. True. Other than that it’s a great car,just get one with a decent tire.

Love my Renegade
What a great little SUV. I've taken on trails and rock climbing. The greatest it has performed is winter. I was the only one on my street who could get out of the neighborhood without having to dig through snow.

I bought a lemon
I bought a 2017 jeep Renagade Trailhawk 5 months ago from a jeep,Chrysler, Dodge dealership that had 49,000 miles on it. They gave me a bumper to bumper warranty for 160,000 miles. Within a month I had to have rotors and brake pads replaced after 2 trips back to the dealership and threatening to take it to my mechanic to have the service manager finally say he heard the noises while driving it. I have always taken my cars to a auto shop told them the problem and they figure it out and fix it. This dealership will report it if it doesn't do it to me I can fix it. This week my jeep died on a bridge over the river during rush hour without any warning lights coming on. The jeep would start and all interior lights were on but nothing would happen when I pressed on the accelerator. I Had it towed home to empty my work supplies and 600 lbs of animal feed and then towed to the dealership the next morning where I had purchased it. Both tow truck drivers had tried to start the jeep to get it on their trucks without success. At the dealership the service tech got it started and told me the juggling around from tow truck must have knocked something loose. Since I drive 100-200 miles a day for work as a home health care therapist in very rural areas without cell phone service I insisted that they find out why it happened and fix it. They service dept. charged me $110 for " reprogramming the transmission" which they state is considered routine maintenance not covered by my bumper to bumper warranty. I have also had warning lights come on stating my rear lights were out when they were not. Since doing this research I have found out these are all issues that have been brought to the manufactures attention and no recall has been issued. My fear is the jeep stalling on a 2 lane blacktop on hills or a blind curve and being rear ended causing a accident or being stranded in a rural area without cell service in bad weather. The dealership in Jefferson City mo from whom I purchased the vehicle keeps telling me they can't fix a problem they can't replicate. All I had to do was Google problems with jeep renegade and found out that all of these issues are common problems. I Guess someone has to be killed in a accident because their jeep stalled without warning and a class action suit to get the manufacturer to remedy these issues.
