Worst car I’ve ever owned

First car I have ever financed an is the worst car I’ve ever owned. I’ve owned the car for a year an a half I’ve had it in the dealership more than I’ve owned it. That’s what it feels like. Had a motor put in at 25k miles. The new motor has issues an it stalled while I was driving an cause me to run off road an hit a mail box. Most unreliable vehicle on the road. I’m afraid to even have my two children in this car .

JUST WHAT I WANTED

Burns Too Much Oil

A Different Kind Of Jeep

I purchased it new, and have owned it for 2 years. In an era where all cars look the same, it separates itself from the pack! I love its unique styling, and while it’s a 4 cylinder, it’s quite nimble and handles well. From the outside, it looks quite small, but there’s more than ample room inside, with plenty of leg room. The built in Bluetooth allows me to never hold a phone, listen to music on my iPhone, and the Sirius XM makes sure I don’t have to listen to terrestrial radio! Alleged Jeep purists say it’s the fiat Jeep, so it’s the anti Jeep and I love it!!! And yes, I traded my wrangler in for the renegade, and I’m glad I did!

Very Disappointed in my 2017 Renegade

I did research on this car before I bought it, however, after I buy it I then find out there are oil issues and now stalling issues. This vehicle was a year in January , brand new and has 12,000 miles....I've had it towed twice and they couldnt find the issue. I'm definately persuing my state lemon law for said vehicle.

Great SUV

I think the interior could be better designed but overall, the way the driver seat and steering wheel can be adjusted is VERY THOUGHTFUL. I just prefer the old school bench seating across the front and the drink holders in front of you and the gear shift on the steering wheel. That middle business takes a lot of spreading legroom away.

Has computer issues/glitches

The cruise control doesn’t work all the time. If you go on long trips, it’ll work 85% of the time. The timer on the windshield wiper doesn’t work. There are four settings: 2 work all the time, 1 never works and 1 works some times. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I would not suggest buying at all.

Surprised at how good this vehicle is

I am a returning Jeep owner, having owned a wrangler, some Libertys and a Patriot. Renegade is a new product for me, and I was somewhat reticent to try it, but it is a wonderful experience. The vehicle is roomy, drives like a top and is filled with features I love. The safety features alone have saved me insurance money. I love the 9-speed automatic transmission (a huge improvement over the CVTs I’ve owned). Gas mileage is great (I’m getting 25-30). This thing climbs hills like a mountain goat. And the sunroof is easy to operate, and roof panels can even be taken off completely. The dashboard is easy to manage, and very visible, the driver’s seat is adjustable in ways that really help, and the visibility in the vehicle is superb. Bluetooth connections are great, and the backup camera is clear and very helpful. Engineers and builders are to be commened. I look forward to wearing this thing out.
