very reliable, and in snow as wel

This car met my expectations; traveling in foul weather, can connect/ charge phones both Android and iPhone, interface w/ phone is easy and it has an equalizer for great music sounds, plenty of space and has roof rack for skiis. Great in Rain, Snow and off road.

The best car to own and have for a everyday driver

This car is excellent. It does really well on road and off road. The ride is excellent and the fuel economy is great for a small suv. The technology in the car is also impeccable. It’s a great fun small suv to have.

Known to "consume" oil!

I would not recommend this Jeep. Bought one for my wife in 2017, although she loves it. , after only a couple thousand miles, the oil light came on. According to Chrysler, losing 1QT of oil every thousand miles is acceptable!! On a brand new vehicle !! This is a well documented problem. Chrysler is now deciding weather to rebuild or replace the motor My wife has had to take this car in 4 different times so they could do their " oil consumption" tests. In 1,000 miles it was down almost 2 QTs. The Dealership is acting like they are doing US a favor.. I bought my wife the Trail Hawk with all the bells and whistles. Car was$30,000. I have a 2003 Ford Ranger 4X4 at home with 280,000 miles, add no oil between the 5,000 mile oil changes...I am reviewing my states lemon laws.. I will get ride of this for something else!! I work overseas, not going to make my wife deal with this nonsense!!!

My first Jeep

I love this vehicle. I've wanted a SUV for a while but not anything large. This is perfect for my family. It may look small but its nice and roomy and comfortable to sit in.

Worst vehicle I've ever owned

I bought this vehicle brand new. It's up to 30,000 and I haven't owned it for quite 2 years. It's had 2 blown head gaskets, it's overheated due to a leak of antifreeze. It's had 2 control modules replaced and it still starts whenever it feels the need. Jeep is doing little to accommodate my frustrations and it's been in the shop more then any used vehicle I've ever owned. I do not recommend this vehicle at all.

Stay Clear of this vehicle

I haven’t even had this vehicle for 2 years yet and the number of problems I have had are endless. Starting at 11,000 miles, it began not wanting to accelerate past 15 miles per hour after coming to a stop. Then I have had it in and out of the shop for random lights coming on and more transmission problems. It is currently sitting in the shop where Chrysler admitted these vehicles are known to have problems related to delayed acceleration or little to no acceleration. Will they fix the problem, no. The thing that makes me the most upset about them fixing the problem is they know exactly what the problem is at, and what would need to be fixed. Never buying a Jeep again.

Trust me. Get a Subaru instead.

The Jeep Renegade should be renamed as Jeep Lemon. In the two tears I have owned this vehicle (purchased brand new) I have had to pay for countless repairs, front breaks and rotors to name the biggest, all magically not covered by warranty. Gas mileage is trash for the 4x4 and the transmission is jumpy as hell.

Amazing vehicle!!!

This SUV is everything I was looking for-even down to the price tag!!!! I am very happy with it and honestly surprised by the options and overall design of the vehicle! It’s perfect for someone who wants piece of mind in driving in Wisconsin during winter and doesn’t want a large vehicle! I prefer smaller vehicles and there’s a lot more room than what meets the eye!

This is NOT a Jeep

I bought a 2017 jeep renegade latitude it only had 19 miles on it. I could not wait to get out of this vehicle. This is NOT a Jeep it is a FIAT . I don't care how many jeep logo's you put on it! That 9 speed transmission makes me think about rigs shifting into gear, no power, stalls when slowing down, will stop accelerating for no reason, little to no air condition, takes forever to warm up inside, good thing for windows in the summer and heated steering wheel and heated seats for winter. Maybe my model was made on a friday just before clock out or monday after a party weekend, When I took it to the dealer (5 times) they kept saying it was an update in the computer system. I asked them to get me out of it and was told just pay it off and dont drive it over 30k miles!???either way I not happy at all, over rated. Good for new drivers I guess it will keep them from speeding .
