2018 renegade trailhawk
owned 3 years now so far and the only thing done is oil changes and tire rotations.been very reliable. initially i was getting around town 22mpg but after about 8 months it has slowly climbed to 24.4mpg and is holding steady. excellent winter vehicle with great traction. happy with lease purchase. lease was up this year and leased a 2021 jeep cherokee. turned in renegade with 32,500 miles. still original brakes and tires the trailhawk model came with 4 free oil and tire rotations which were performed at approx 6,000 mile interval. the only expenses other than lease payment in 3 years were yearly inspections, emissions and gas.

The little Jeep that couldn’t.
I’ve had my Jeep for almost a year now and it seems like I always seem to have a problem with it. About 3 months into me having it I already had 12,000 miles put onto the 26 miles that were on it when I purchased it. I was coming home one night driving at 45 mph and barely seen the deer that jumped in front of me but it gave me enough time to hit my brakes and dropped me down to 20 just in time to only tap the deer. Next thing I know my dash lights up and my car won’t start and there is coolant and other unknown juices spraying my windshield. I got it towed and after 3 months and $6000 later I finally got my car back. Two months later I get a flat because the stock tires were faulty. There is no spare in it so I’m stuck with it on the side of the road and had to get towed. There goes another $500. Then to add to my mess there was work being done on the local highway and the lanes were uneven when I went to change lanes a huge piece of plastic fell out from under my car. I had to drive home with the loud nuisance and weird looks. I couldn’t even pull it off because the other half was bolted on. I loved the Easter eggs and dual-sunroofs and it’s spaciousness but it’s way too expensive for a grocery getter.

Engine replaced @40,000 miles
Engine was consuming oil at an alarming rate. Took it to dealer to confirm diagnosis. This car only has a 36,000 B2B 60,000 Power train warranty. As most cars that stand behind their product, have a 60,000 B2B/100,000 PT warranty. Let that speak for itself. Also, lug nuts were "swelling" says the dealer, who advised me not to pay for them to be replaced at the dealer, to save some money, go to the auto shop and buy 10 lug nuts for cheaper. He also told me this while I was technically still under my B2B warranty, but decided to leave that part out. Untrustworthy. My door speakers also went out at 40,000miles with normal use. I am trading in for a foreign car this week. Thank gawd my cousin is a mechanic and happened to catch the oil consumption problem before my warranty was up. The inside of the car is great, all the bells and whistles. But the parts, engine, and dealership are shady.

Not awful but not the best...
I’ve had several cars and my renegade is one of my favorites due to the 4wd and technology in it, but other than that i can’t wait to get something new. It shifts hard, it’s extremely slow, gas mileage is not the best, AND it’s eat through oil like crazy!! I had my oiled changes and 2 weeks later my car shut off and was bone dry of oil.. same thing has happened several times. Overall i would not recommend this car to anyone
