The best car I have ever owned

My only complaint about this car is there isn’t much room in the front for keys, and the cup holders are hard to use/reach it’s just very crowded. Other than that the car is AMAZING. Safe and reliable. The gas takes $20 to fill from empty. It’s quiet, rides very smooth and has all the features a girl could want.

Adorable and reliable car

This car is very spacious and runs great. I love the details on the inside and out. It could use more storage spaces through the car.

Well Worth the Money!

I purchased a 2018 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk because my company vehicle is a Jeep Compass and I couldn’t be happier. I owned a Toyota FJ 10 years ago and this Renegade is the closest SUV I could find. It is extremely reliable and is very sporty. It has good power for a 4 banger and can go just about anywhere. I bought a 2 year old car with under 10,000 miles and got a great deal. Someone else took the depreciation. Get a Renegade, it is well with the money!

Shuts down every time before Oil change is due

This vehicle shuts down on you with no indication that an oil change is due .... per dealership, it was designed this way to "save" money supposedly. It has shut down on my husband and I while driving it on a busy road. It is dangerous and can potentially cause a serious accident. The dealership will not do anything to fix it or even acknowledge that it is a safety hazard.

I wanted to love it

I just traded out of mine at 23,000 miles. I absolutely loved this car, but it is not reliable or safe. Body control module went out at 6,000 miles, radio acts up all the time or doesn’t respond, and it burned through 3-5 qts(all its oil) in 2500 miles. It stalled, power steering went out, the engine began sputtering, and this all happened with my 1 year old son in the car. The dealership thought my engine was bad, but they wanted to charge me for another oil change when I had just had one, and they wanted me to drive it another 1000 miles. I already didn’t feel safe in it anymore. I took a small hit trading it in, but I have a car now that I feel safe in. I didn’t want them putting another one of those 2.4 l multi-air engines in it anyway. What would that do me if it went out in another 20,000 miles after it wasn’t under warranty anymore?.. don’t buy this vehicle. From what I’ve researched, the oil burning is common with these. I was so disappointed.

Eleven k miles and I've already replaced two tires

It uses a quart of oil every 1200 miles and Chrysler says that's acceptable. At last oil change it was three and one half quarts short
