Beautiful car but after six months turbo went up

Bought my (white) 2016 Renegade Sport, manual 6 speed, w/ the black torn flag decals that stands for all fallen soldiers w/ all the trimmings beautiful carfrom Carmax 2nd Owner super clean 2 yrs. Ago My boyfriend whom was on my insurance full coverage thank the lord, high-droplanned into a pole and it was a tiny little dent in my hood completely drivable. I drove it for about 2 months before I claimed it and they totalled it out. I couldn't believe it! But I want to state one other BIG issue is that My Turbo went up after 6 months. Yes, I did get better gas mileage, but it also could have harmed my engine. Therefore, I'm thinking that may have been another reason why they totaled it out. It was a nice Payday. I got all my money back because of the inflation. When I bought it. We hadn't gone into such a recession... If I was to do it again I would not have bought another. Expensive parts It was always reliable.I will give it that , but after the Turbo went up and then I heard that others had the same exact problem.I looked into it I'm hoping that there's a recall on this.Because it was a big issue not just with me With others I know that also have the same car.

‘15 latitude and wife’s ‘16 75th year edition!!

I’ve had my ‘15 latitude, for a year. T-bones a car, last week, and they crumple like a beer can… In other words: had my wife get a ‘16 75th edition TODAY!! Yes, ramen diet, for a few years, + her “special edition” doesn’t have heated seats, or a heated wheel 😖 My latitude does!! I wouldn’t look at different 💯

Just Okay

This vehicle is decent but nothing special. It’s good for snow and winter conditions. Interior is too snug for taller people and the ride is rough. Styling is very well done but gas mileage is just okay. It’s a sturdy vehicle because it weighs 3200 pounds which might account for the okay mileage and mediocre performance.

Love a jeep!

Interior is absolutely beautiful. Still a big enough vehicle that it doesn’t feel like a regular sized car but not a huge suv. Still a gas guzzler though.

First car I ever bought without even a test drive

This vehicle does everything I want it to, and more.! So far I am more than pleased with it. Nice looking, nice option package, comfortable ride for a smaller vehicle.. Nice ride.!

Great Car, I like it

The car is what I was looking for. Its my favorite color and its a upgrade from what I used to own. I wanted something bigger and the Jeep is definitely something I was looking for. The interior is great, the outer interior looks nice too.

Jeep Purchase

Plenty of leg room and wider seats. The interior is great looking. I appreciate all the upgrades that were made to the vehicle. Looking forward to the 4 wheel drive.

Renegade Trailhawk 4X4

Very nice and quiet to drive, gas mileage was as advertised which is excellent, I have no reason to use the 4X4 yet due to no wintery conditions, but hey had to try the seat heaters and yes they work great. This model Renegade "Trailhawk" 4X4 is fully loaded, interior is super clean and looks far better then most SUV's. Nice center control center all touch screen, very strong media player, hand's free phone calling, even has ability to show text messages someone sends while driving. heated mirrors, Full size spare tire hidden in cargo area, auto lights , fog lights, many interior lights , 2 plugs that 110 volt to run things like a computer or phone charger and yes usb ports as well! So much more!!!!!
