[@Stay-vigilant]

My wife loves her 2016 trailhawk. Bought it used in 2019 with 10k miles. Recent snowstorm in the pacific northwest and the Renegade didn't miss a beat. Geolandar ATs help make wet and snow driving easy. I don't care if they call it a fiat 500, this fiat isn't the one stuck on the side of the road. Only issue so far is the adjustment gears for the headlights stripped. Replaced stripped gears for $5.

[@cashcreators]

I have a 2023 and just got back from a trip where I put over 2000 miles on it with ZERO issues! I'm impressed. (This is my 4th Jeep BTW! The other 2 were Cherokees and one was a Patriot)

I bought a 2019 jeep renegade with only 16’239 miles on it in 2021. I have had no problems with my jeep at all it’s a great car and it runs perfectly. I take very good care of my vehicles and would recommend this vehicle to anyone that wants a comfortable great ride. Car maintenance is the key to a good running car. I use only full synthetic oil in my jeep. Love ❤️ my jeep.

[@gregreil3080]

My wife drives a 2016 Renegade Trailhawk, we have had no issue at 80037 miles. Maintenance is 5000 oil change, full synthetic, 50000 new coil pack and plugs, each oil change I rotate the tires. Great little Jeep and she love it!

[@Nate_Gray]

I have the 2016 jeep renegade with the same engine as the TH. I've had nothing but problems. Have you checked your rotors yet? Mine fell apart in the first year.

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

We own a 2018 Renegade with the 2.4l 9spd and haven't had any issues besides a intermittent slow loading Uconnect but that is just a small quirk beside that it has given us 3 years of trouble free and loyal service. I am a fanatic about maintenance and keep my vehicles in tip top shape, Our 2.4 only consumes half a quart of oil per 5000 miles which is my scheduled intervals and even though there is a Recall for oil consumption it wasn't because of the rings like you mentioned but the way the MultiAir was programmed to stay open during deceleration the update is done free of charge and remedies the issue from what I hear, I opted out of the recall because I felt a half quart was acceptable over 5000 miles. We are really loving the Renegade now with higher fuel prices and even with $4 plus fuel costs it still better than filling either my 1999 Dodge Dakota with a 22 gallon fuel tank or our 2004 Dodge Ram with a 32 gallon tank. We take the Jeep everywhere unless we need one of the trucks. Best $18k we've ever spent and I bought it new MSRP was $27k got a offer to buy it for $24k from our local dealer when I was there to get our annual vehicle inspection done.

[@Sammy10100]

I've had my jeep renegade since 2015 59,000 so far no problems. And same set of breaks but I its also a manual transmission.

[@efone3553]

I have a 2015 jeep renegade trailhawk. Over 80,000 miles on it and I just paid it off. I consider my jeep a good reliable vehicle overall. I have had three problems with it over the last 6 years all fixed by the warranty, the engine temp sensor went out and caused my 4 wheel drive to go out. A window seal on my passenger door started to leak in air and whistle and that had to be replaced and my radiator fan was getting noisy and had to be replaced. every one of these issues was covered by the warranty and was only a minor inconvenience. Ongoing issues I have are minor like the oil burn and the somewhat klunky transmission. I have just started to notice and odd thump coming from the wheel well and I think that may be cv shaft but I do go offroading and have taken some hard hits so I dont blame the jeep if it is starting to have issues. I just hope it is not too expensive to replace.

[@lalopalep]

My 2015 started lagging between 1st and 2nd gear at low speeds, does yours do this also?

[@FatalForrest]

There is a firmware update for the ECM that helps with oil burn and clunky trans. Call your dealer and check to see if there are any updates available for your VIN. Also at 80k miles it’s a good idea to go ahead and replace the ignition coils and spark plugs. Around this time you’ll notice a marked reduction in fuel economy and then you’ll eventually lead to a misfire and CEL. You can replace coils and plugs for about $150 from NAPA or your local parts store.

[@FatalForrest]

@@lalopalep get a Pedal Commander

[@fivepetsihave]

@@FatalForrest I just did the same thing at 86000 because the car decided not to start one day. Replaced the battery and plugs. Did not think about the coils though . I will do that also.

[@premierdeal]

oil burn and clunky transmission is 'minor'?!!

[@ppopovich2847]

I have nearly 80K miles of spirited driving on my 2017 Renegade 1.4t with 6-Speed manual trans. Runs great, surprisingly agile and peppy, a hoot to drive, and no problems yet. Still on orig clutch and it shifts great. I love the 6th gear for hwy cruising. Averages over 26 mpg in mixed driving on 89 octane gas. My only minor issue was noisy stabilizer links at around 40K miles, which was a cheap and easy replacement.

[@richthepilot9906]

Nice to know Jeep has known about this for five years now and looks like they haven't made any improvements. I "liked" this little 4x4 but Jeep / Fiat (a car company I like) needs to step up to the plate. Thanks for the valuable info.

[@jacobwhitehurst5367]

I have a 2017 and it would use oil as you said. I switched to 5w-20 oil and it has not used any since the switch. I am going to look into that consumption test though just to get ahead of it. I read awhile back that it was due to some little o ring seal and the push rods i think. But nonetheless some seal of some kind. The CV shaft issue you said with the clunking, I get that sometimes. If I’m on my game and paying attention I can get it to not do it but I definitely am replacing those soon so thank you.

Sunroof has an issue. I had to replace it twice already. Coolant temp goes very high recently. It has many issues but this vehicle with turbo engine, manual transmission and skyroof is awesome. It accelerates like a motorcycle.

[@TopHatGent]

i had one, a 2016 no dealership couldn't pick it up without cracking the plastic under the doors. the thermostat and driver door lock mech went bad. it burned a lot of oil and now it is a class action lawsuit. causes early engine wear. the lag when you hit the gas after coasting a little is down right dangerous. i almost got into an accident or two and was one of the main reason after three years i traded it in with 40k miles, you would hit the pedal...nothing, would have to floor it to get it to react.

[@Natethegreat200c]

It’s called laggy transmissions. Toyota’s are like that Honda and more.

[@Nate_Gray]

@@Natethegreat200c no. It's a problem with the traction control as well. Because if you accelerate while your wheel is turned (such as when you make a hard fight or left) it trips the traction control sensor and bleeds your power. Not a lot of fun when you are trying to turn into a busy street.

[@journeysofjensen]

I have a renegade and I love it for the most part. Not the story behind why I have it and pay for it, but it’s a nice car. I have the 2015 Renegade. The only issue I have is the gas cap service light engine issue and that can be easily fixed from what I’ve heard.

I always thought the radio was rebooting or maybe a low voltage on start up. I experienced the OTA update which turned everything into Italian😅. I noticed the door material comes off easily in this hot weather. Also use to get errors like thermostat bad but the original code that ce up has banished but showed air intake temp was bad. Has never showed up again. Despite the therm being bad, apparently, 70,000 miles later still going and never overheated

Yes. Once the temps hit cold in late fall it goes on and off. The engine isn't heating up fast enough. No kidding, it is 23 outside. Since weather went to 50s the light went off. I suspect the air temp intake sensor. When my issue began the code read it was air intake, then the 28 code constantly came on. Fog light housing melt after a few years. Weird light surging.

When I start moving, it seems to have some sort of hesitation when switching from 1st to 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear. Is this a trans issue? Someone online said it is a common issue and can actually be fixed with a simple computer update by Jeep. someone else said it might be the spark plugs. Any ideas?

[@elbajoceleste]

My 2015 had the same issue. They did a update on it and it worked for a week but the slipping of gears started again. Luckily we still have warranty on the transmission. We took it in and they replaced the trans valve and so far everything looks good now.

I have a 2016 Renegade, 2.4 cylinder. transmission vibration when car running on steady speed. For example, when car running about 50 miles per hour, transmission always on gear 8, so as you step on gas the transmission starts to vibration. In this case I have to use manual to drop a gear to 7. At gear 7 car is running smoothly. Push back to auto transmission, gear go up to 8 again. Dealer refused to fix this problem because no wrong code from car computer.

If you are going down hill, with a tail wind, you should be in a lower gear for engine braking. Thats the reason why it won't shift to 8 or 9th.

When it gets cooler out I get the thermostat issue code 33 31??? Basically it isn't heating up fast enough, so says the computer. Come spring the code disappears. When this first happened I zoned it and got the air intake sensor code. At the deep that code didn't show but the other did. Maybe the AIR sensor is the culprit sending bad akr temp so computer thinks it isn't heating up fast enough in cold weather vs hot.

Hi my stepdaughter owns a 2015 Jeep renegade that she purchased two years ago , and the problem she's having is there is a service four-wheel-drive indicator light that comes on , and when you try the traction selector switch or traction control switch for different various road conditions seems to be not working ? When you try to select four-wheel-drive low or four-wheel-drive itself nothing happens , I tried going online to find out on how to replace the switch which there is no information on how the remove it from dashboard or console or even how the diagnose the problem ? But I believe it's the switch that will not engage the solenoid on the transmission or the transfer case to put it in four-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive low , so my question did you ever run into this problem ? And if so how do you replace the traction control transfer switch ? Like I said there is nothing online and there's no diagrams to even be found online to show this it's almost like they are going to force you to take this to the dealer and do not want you to repair itself even if one does have the knowledge and is mechanically inclined such as myself so if you could help me I greatly appreciate thank you or anyone

+Suspicious Citrus We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

The Renegade with the 2.4L MultiAir engine is known for oil consumption issues. When the vehicle gets low on oil (without warning) the vehicle goes into a "limp home" mode. Poorly engineered, designed and built...avoid at all cost.

[@monkeywrangler5200]

@@tgamble1000 that it goes into a limp mode is a blessing and avoiding further damage. All cars expect the owner to monitor the oil and not let it get to that point. The limp mode is saving them.

Anybody had any luck with putting the new lucas thats thinner for modern engines in one of these jeeps to slow the oil cunsumption

Partners Jeep Alarm is constantly going off. How do I disable the alarm before a neighbour falls out with me?

[@Drewbaru1]

I did the radio update myself. Download to flash drive, upload to radio. Radiator fan was covered under warranty and no other problems.

[@luimobilefixes5279]

SMH why would radio need update?

[@OggyGTA]

@@luimobilefixes5279 why not? It's a media player, bluetooth, navigation unit.

My 2018 renegade uses a quart every 1000 miles it has 61000 on it its been that way since I bought it. So except for the filter it gets 2 oil changes every 5000 miles😅

[@imcrazyforwar]

Started using amsoil, and it stopped consuming oil.

[@cercledefeu6443]

there is a recall on oil consumption for those with troubles

[@1AAuto]

+Cercle De Feu Thanks for the feedback!

[@MikeSzJr]

I have a 2018 2.4 that won't start after refueling. I replaced the canister purge valve and it helped for a month (6-8 fill ups) but the issue is back. Usually takes 3-5 tries to finally get it started, it will idle rough for a minute and then drive like normal. Anyone else experienced this?

[@jemelthompson2528]

My 2016 jeep Renegade has had 4 recalls to repair issues...I had to have the engine replaced

[@doomrage4828]

I have 2016 sport model and its not keyless , i changed oil but im having the oil need to change so i tried removing the battery and the gas pedal way but nothing doe anybody knows a new way?

[@summersadie3687]

Do I need to use PREMIUM gas for my 2018 renegade? It has a 1.4 turbo engine.

[@ppopovich2847]

No, you don't need premium, but avoid regular, 87 octane fuel or you will likely lose performance, as knock sensors will trip and the ECU will trim back timing. The 1.4T does run great on mid-grade, 89 octane fuel though.

[@MakeU-Wonder]

What about the heat turning on and never turning off it won’t turn off at all!

[@Crvowner2022]

My fiancé has an issue with his which is vibrating when in drive and someone tried to steal gas from his and now the capless mechanism is broken off of it.

[@theghostamericanpatriot373]

Actually there was a recall for the oil issue. It’s a computer mod upgrade. Oil issues no more!

[@1AAuto]

+The Ghost American patriot Thanks for the feedback!

[@BuffMyRadius]

Out of curiosity, are you seeing similar problems on the 1.4T manual transmission first gen Renegades?

[@1AAuto]

+Stuart Marshall Thanks for checking us out! These are common among most of the first gen models, the 1.4T also has an issue with a high idle and occasional stutter. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@BuffMyRadius]

I get parts here all the time! Thanks for the reply.

[@celiastarot]

How about the volume going up and down when accelerating and braking? It’s weird 😂😂😂

[@mousey3684]

you can fix that in the settings!! it’s a speed setting on your radio. just gotta turn it off.
