Worst Car I've Ever Owned

I've had nothing but problems. I'm at 55,000 miles and it completely died. The first year was spent fighting the start/stop system not functioning correctly. Regardless of your opinion on S/S, the system should work as designed. Because it constantly showed S/S not ready: battery charging, I believe I was having parasitic drain on my main battery. Then, my app started popping messages about powertrain issues. I moved away from the dealership where I bought it, and the nearby dealership was unable to find any issue. I no longer get ANY messages through the app; it seems like the solution was to turn off notifications... Recently, I'm getting an overheat warning within 10 mn of vehicle start up in 30 deg MN weather, after gas ups, on acceleration onto highways. Before I can even pull off the highway, it returns to normal temp. Once, this was accompanied by catastrophic check engine light, start/stop system warning, and significant misfires. Took to dealer, they flashed the PCM. Two days after picking up, same story with the overheating. After a week of random overheats (with continuous fluid top-offs), it refused to restart. All this in 55,000 miles. My first Jeep. Worst car experience. Won't buy another Jeep.

Fun driving vehicle

Comfortable ride, I enjoy the driving experience. Although not the greatest gas mileage, it is fun to drive. I am waiting to drive it in the snow.

Best car I have owned

My favorite vehicle I have owned and I am 62! I have Latitude trim with the Winter warmth package. Have owned for almost a year now and still love it and issues. Actually I wasn’t very impressed with the base sound system so upgraded that at car toys which was well worth it for me. Other than love it it . Averaging 29 mpg mixed.

Can’t wait to get rid of this car. No pickup!!!

No pick up at all, and when you’re low on oil the throttle icon comes on before lol oil icon comes on and you stall while you’re driving. Very dangerous. And it just Maybe my car but my 2020 jeep renegade transmission leaked transmission fluid and I needed a whole new transmission in 2021. I Can’t wait to get rid of this car.
