2017 Jeep Renegade consumer reviews

Well balanced designed to take you on rough drives without confort sacrifice. Excellent driving position that makes a pleasure to drive. Giving you full control and a sense of security when driving on slippery roads. I drove It over the Rockies and the Sierras enjoin the beauty of those places.

Read some of the negative reviews thinking we may have gotten lucky with ours. We still own our 2017 Trailhawk that my wife uses for commuting to work. Bought it used from Hertz with 24K miles late 2018. Of course we bought an extended warranty. Sure enough, the right front brake caliper froze. Had the whole front braking system replaced under warranty and never had another problem with the brakes. Only other problem we had was an occasional transmission hesitation that only seems to happen when I’m driving it. Happened about twice a year. My wife never experienced it because she drives like an “Old lady.” Oh, cigarette lighter fuse burnt out one time while using an air compressor. It was a royal PITA to replace because it’s hidden deep under the DS dashboard. You’ll have to remove the knee panel to get to it with very little space. We have the smaller screen infotainment system. Very basic but works ok. Backup camera is small and barely useful, but works. Engine noise can get loud from a four cylinder Tigershark. Other than those issues, this Trailhawk is a blast to drive. The Tigershark is a beast and enough to get this tiny AWD out of any spots where most of its direct competitors would get stuck. I didn’t like its AWD at first until I realized that the “Fresh” tires Hertz installed before we picked it up were cheap asian made all season touring tires that were slippery on any road surface. After replacing them with proper tires, this tiny SUV can go anywhere though i still wouldn't dare bring it to where the "Real" Jeeps can go. I've taken ours through gravel, sand, mud, some rocks, and snow. Hasn't failed me yet. Knock on wood. We've driven it from FL to NJ without any problems. It's tight inside as expected. The engine pulled our heavy load easily. We've also been blessed to own a Tigershark engine that doesn't burn excessive oil. Yes, they do exist. The ride can get jiggly from the short wheelbase. Handling is good with good tires, but treacherous with bad, cheap tires. One note on the realtime AWD system in normal mode. There is a slight lag transferring power to the rear wheels. Similar to most realtime AWD systems in the market at this price level. Our Honda Pilot with VTM4 torque vectoring AWD system doesn't have this issue as a comparison. Follow a good maintenance schedule with this little beauty and they can last a long time.

I Really like this car I bought it used and have driven it for a good couple of months Car works great love the jeep style on the outside and inside you'll never forget what your driving! Two complaint's are that the car rumbles quite bad and my cars transmission likes to have hiccups but everything else about the car is great.

85000 miles on it and the only issue has been a starter problem, it’s going bad and I will replace soon. The moulding at the front of the removable roof panels started to separate. Other than that it has been an awesome vehicle and I feel like the 2.4 has plenty of power.

This is the worst car I’ve ever owned. Ever time I turn around it’s in the shop. I have brought the jeep in the shop every 2000 miles to get it all checked because he’s using a lot of oil and nobody wants to do anything thing about it. I would never ever I want another Jeep again. I will not. Recommend this a car to anyone.

The only thing I think they should improve is the noise while driving on the road the noise reduction. Add a little more comfort inside

I got my Renegade (TrailHawk) new, I now have 66,000 miles on her. She has been a very good to me. I've had a Jeep since 1984 this one has been one of the best. If I keep it around 55-60 I avg. around 30mpg. The MPG drops (26-28mpg) little when I pull little trailer that have. My dog did some damage to her, the parts were little high.

Good vehicle drives smooth easy to handle great in the snow not great on gas enjoy this jeep RENAGADE is OK with me would recommend it to anyone thinking of trading for 2023 model soon

Transmission on my new still under warranty vehicle had to be replaced. I was given a refurbished transmission even though my new car is still under warranty. Worst reliable vehicle and worst service I have ever experienced. So regretful I ever bought a Jeep! NEVER AGAIN!

Comfortable, low maintenance, and great driving on the snow which is a must feature where I live. I love the sporty style of this car.
