Watch This Before Buying A Jeep Renegade! Common Problems & Issues 2015 - Present

Really informative thank you so much!

Thanks for the vid. I have a 2017 Jeep Renegade (NightEagle) 1.4L petrol turbo engine 170 hbp 6 speed automatic with lot of luxurious. Fantastic car, just love it, BUT, I got parking sensor failures, later cruise control failure, later engine management failure with Auto Start/Stop failure. After more than a 6 months analyses, UConnect upgrade, resets etc, it seemed to be the turbo. Yes if the failure happened, the cruise control shutted off, which is very annoying on long distances, and if engine management yellow/orange light was on, the car had low power, it had to use the 1.4 liter without the turbo. Yes, it was the turbo (90.000 km). It has been replaced and all issues are fixed and it drives fantastic again as it did. At German Autobahn you easily drive up to 180 km/h (I never did the top speed 219 km/h). But turbo replacement is HIGH COSTS! No fun, together with the 90.000 km service thingies 3000 euro. I still love my Jeep Renegade Night Eagle!

I got a 2018 jeep renegade limited 1.6 diesel multijet with 6 speed manual, cars been great so far, really economical, getting 65 mpg easy to work and back 20 miles daily, decent punchy engine too with plenty torque, only issue so far is window scooshers freezing up on the move because its like minus 7 degrees Celsius up here in Scotland, apart from that which is down to the weather its been great so far, 49700 miles on clock at moment but i going to get timing belt done at 62000 miles just for peace of mind, in about a years time 👌👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I know absolutely nothing about cars, but the information you gave was really clear with the visuals - thank you!!

Thanks for this video. I'm thinking of buying a jeep renegade 2017 manual. Would you recommend?

Fiatin dieselmoottorit ovat erittäin lujia. Onko Renegade ja 500X 1.4 multiair bensiini ongelmallinen? Minulla on Fiat Tipo 1.4 T-jet wagon bensiini 120 hv tosi luotettava. Vääntävä moottori ja kiihtyy hyvin. Auto on muutenkin tilava ja melko mukava. Olen ajanut sillä jo noin 6 vuotta ja 115 000 km. Lämmin auto talvella ja käynnistyy hyvin myös -30 asteen pakkasilla.

Having electric issues on my 2018 Jeep renagade latitude 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks! How much distance did your car make before you had to change the timing belt if I may ask?

Hello, nice video thank you, I’m thinking to buy renegade 2015 longitude with 84000 miles petrol, I haven’t tested yet but I always wanted to have this kind of car.. I’m bit scared now of all the issues that you just had

Hi, I'm about to go test drive a 2018 Renegade sport 4x4. I'm a bit nervous. The newer jeep are nothing like the older ones like my Dad had which was a 1989 Jeep Cherokee limited. It took a beating and kept going from my young teenage self. I hear many Jeep owners say they're a bit temperamental. Thus, I am nervous and Leary to buy one. I prefer Japanese made cars but don't have the money to buy a Subaru, Acura, Toyota, or Honda. This jeep currently has 70, 396 miles. The price is a steal. I'll probably try to incorporate the 36 bumper to bumper extended warranty because it is used. How many miles do you have and when did you start having problems? How many miles when it started? I've read as little as 16,000 miles. The CarFax is clean. So that's a good ✅ in the box. I'm not sure what to ask the dealer or what to look for besides the basics. I haven't bought a car since 2012 from CarMax. Any other tips to look out for when purchasing this vehicle? I don't want them to pull a wool over my eyes and fool me. However, I really need a car my 2011 Nissan Versa is having problems with the transmission. I put it in drive and there's a delay and it doesn't go whenever I accelerate and sometimes it rolls backwards when I take my foot off the brake to push the gas and it's scary Plus, it has over 272,000+ miles. It's time to retire ol' Blue and use him as a work care after I repair it.

At the beginning of this review, you said you "have had a few Renegades in the last couple of months..." May I ask, which trim/years have you had?

I have a 2017 Jeep haven't had none of these problems like he's

Would you recommend the 2.0 diesel?

I’m looking at a Jeep renegade 2017 , 112 k miles and from carmax do u guys think it’s a good first car

Mine has the 1.6 diesel rough idle until it warms up have you ever come across this issue?

Extremely stiff ride and due to short wheelbase the car is jumping like crazy on bumpy roads!

Have a 2016 74k miles have had no issues at all out of it

I bought a new 2016 it ended up being piece of crap, it’s made cheaply and fiat was sued for the theirs engine it’s a horrible car. They put a bunch of defective parts in this horrible vehicle and I now hate Jeeps because of this

It’s a “great car” but you had to do a timing belt, gear box rebuild, and it’s had electronic issues…….. screw that. It’s a fiat 500 masked behind a Jeep logo. I’ll stick to both my hondas….. if this was done before it hit 100k miles then that’s ridiculous. Imagine the kind of work it will need when it’s older. These are going to start dropping like flies like all of fiats products in the past. No offense.

These are a NIGHTMARE. CONSTANT electrical issues, engines burn gallons of oil every year and that massive sunroof is a disaster. These should all just be thrown in the trash.
