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.

If it is broke, you can't drive it

Very stylish looking car. Trailhawk claims to be "Trail Ready". With two ply polyester sidewall tires it is not ready for rocky trails. In 50K miles we have had coils go out on two cylinders. The resulting stuttering is very dangerous in cross traffic. The dealership misdiagnosed the issue as motor mounts because the engine light did not activate. Apparently mechanics can no longer diagnose if the computer does not give them the code. No engine light warning, no code. We were able to get most of the $1400 for motor mounts refunded.

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.

The Renegade is a Jeep it rides like a Jeep. It has very little frills but overall it’s cute and worth owning. Buy one and have fun!

Jeep Renegade Worst Auto ever

The rare post from me: I’ve owned 20 plus cars and had at least that many rentals. The Jeep Renegade is by far, no question, hands down, the absolute worst vehicle. From mpg to comfort to transmission to clicky oil sounds when all gauges and dip stick say it’s full. It’s under powered which explains part of the mpg fiasco (I got better mileage in an F250). But the worst, pull your hair out it’s so frustrating, is the Radio/Nav. The console does this weird press the up arrow to go down in the menu - thought that was quirky during the test drive - but the Radio/Nav....If its not getting you lost, it’s playing music from some random station you didn’t pick. And it has this Love/hate relationship with my smart phone: it loves to place random calls when you plug in and hates when you would rather listen to radio while plugged in. Just stay away from this poorly designed, from top to bottom, inside and out, 2017 Trail Rated Jeep Renegade. This is the worst (add expletives) automobile in the universe
