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.
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)
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!
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.
I have noticed oil compsumption, ignition coils problems on my 2017 jeep renegade. Both are pretty easy to deal with. Overall I think is a great vehicle.
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.
I have a 2018 manual with Fiat turbo 1.3 , I have 35,000 miles and drive it like I stole it, Amsoil European oil every 5000, I live in rural area w/ bad roads , this vehicle is awesome in any weather!
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.
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 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.
I have a 2016 Jeep renegade 75th anniversary edition with the 2.4l and 9 speed automatic. Only issue I have had is the driver side rear brake light had a burnt ground wire and quit working. I made a new ground for it and it works like new again.
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.
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.
@@darinstruble Nice, you will enjoy it in snow. Very capable, even in 2wd form. Just make sure you have good all-season tires with plenty of treadlife left.
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.
Oil consumption issue is being fixed with a recall...motor mounts were redesigned and fixed by 2017 model, radiator fan issues was fixed by late 2016 and was recalled & fixed for free...so what exactly haven't they improved?

So far I have 60,000 on my 2017 and love it main problem I had was the engine cooling fan went but nothing to make me not like it like he said every car has there problems.
2016 here with 152,000+ miles on it. One air sensor went out, that's it so far. I'm scared to change to anything else because this one is so problem free.
great video, I have had the radio problem, injector problem (replaced), oil consumption problem, Stabilizer arm replaced. W/in 3 years. The radio update, except for the GPS update can be downloaded, but the radio doesn't recognize the files from the FCA/Mopar site, no matter what they say. Thanks for the great video!
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.
I had a 2017 renegade and had nothing but trouble they ended up putting in 7 radiators and two engines my car recently had another bunch of problems. I end up, trading it in and getting rid of it would not recommend even though I did absolutely love it.
What about the my sky roof... I'm able to take them off using the Jeep key but whenever you're in the car and you want to use the vent feature or to open it the motor makes noise but nothing happens... I just got my 2017 jeep renegade few days ago, I'm just doing a quick search there isn't much on how to fix it other than people saying you got to clean the track or fix a fuse but my motor is working and the track is clean and it still won't go back or vent
I drive a 2015 modle and after it needed a new transmission at 40k then Reprogrammed 6 times witch has killed fuel mileage iam done still don't shift right it would go though about 4 quarts of oil between oil changes (evey 3k) I switched to 5w30 that stoped the oil burning. But iam done trading it off this summer!! Good Reddens!!
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 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.
I thought my wifes old 2011 Subaru Outback had the market cornered on oil consumption and piston ring issues, guess not. I like the Jeep Renegade. But seeing all these issues, I will look elsewhere. Thank you for putting out these video 1A Auto team !
If it’s not too late, don’t let this video deter you. My fiancé bought her renegade in 2015 brand new and with proper maintenance through 7 years and 80k miles, I’ve never had to replace or fix anything outside of the normal maintenance. And does great in snow when I only own a 600hp mustang and a sportsbike I get to take it😂
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.
I have 2017 jeep rene and it is so much fun to drive it does shift quickly when driving slow that's something to get used to but other than that its a great vehicle.
No more than any other car though, wouldn't you say? I've had great service from my 5 year old UK Trailhawk. You yanks love to hate on the Renegade - we love it over hear. Easily the biggest seller for Jeep.
I instantly fell in love with this vehicle. I was convinced I was going to buy one. It's a beautiful vehicle. *Then I heard about the transmission issues....* Why haven't you solved this Jeep?
@@GrayGray72Gamez guess again, it's a rebadged fiat 500 4x4. Fiat stands for " FIX IT AGAIN TONY". If you really want one you should lease it, if not go look at a Toyta or Hondas...
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.
What about the metal pipes that go between the firewall and connects to the heater cord that leak coolant? The labor time is only supposed to be .5 labor however you have to completely remove the entire dash to gain access to it.
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
I had 78k miles on the 2.4l and mine decided to catch fire out of nowhere. There has never been any other issues before that point. Engine was running great before this incident.
I have what seems like an automatic transmission problem with the 2015 Jeep renegade I just purchased. 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?
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 2017 Jeep Renegade and I'm hearing a sloshing sound when accelerating (seems to come from under the dash in front of the driver). I've heard it might be a clogged AD Drain line. I've been trying to locate it but can not. I would appreciate any advice, pics, videos if you have any. Thanks! I'm also having trouble when fueling up, the nozzle keeps shutting off. Help/thoughts?
I hear a noise when accelerating in 5th gear at low rpms between 1,000-1,500 can be related to a bad front CV shaft ? Or could be engine lugging sound? Now when Im about to accelerate I down shift mannualy to prevent lugging
I love my Fiat Jeep 2021! I believe people who Browbeat there cars have Problems with every car! Treat it nice! “”Lol””this car is so solid & is Extremely smooth on the roads & highways…nice heavy,quiet,Smooth riding car with comfortable seats…Many great colors to choose, lots of room for such a tiny little Square bug!
My 2018 Renegade is getting that P2122 code, that refers to the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Apparently it is common these cars and is a pain to pinpoint and fix the issue.
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.
I have 2 2021 Renegades with the 1.3 turbo engines. We live in Texas, and everything is 75 and cruise control (both have adaptive cruise). They will not go into 8th or 9th gear going downhill with a 40mph tail wind. Have had TCM and PCM updates. You are the pros... Any ideas? 2 Dealers say this is common and deal with it.
man, I was hoping it would say they have issues with the lights. My fog lights and other lights keep shorting out and the dealer wants a lot of money to check for electrical issues. I've replaced one headlight wireharness myself but not sure why the fog lights keep blowing.
I bought a 2016 trail hawk in 2018 with 17K miles had a lot of problems that was covered under warranty: A/C, radiator fan 2X, radiator leak (leaked in warranty) I found after replacing fan out of warranty! power seat, wiper fluid hose issue, & now at 77K miles the only issue is the door panel & headliner fabric is separating! Due to low quality of adhesive Jeep uses & high humidity where I live! Voice recognition leaves a lot to be desired! Will I buy another..????
Re: oil consumption. My 2015 Renegade: I went to the dealer and they reprogrammed the 2.4 liter engine computer. No more 1 quart per 1000 miles. How did that stop the usage? Very interesting.
I got 2016, bought with 16,000 mi. Now 42,000 mi. Luckily all the problems happened under warranty,: radiator fan, A/C, windshield washer hose, driver's seat control & door handle came off. Had a temporary loss of engine power once, 1 minor issue is I can't leave the back wiper on rain sensing mode. Will I buy another...? We'll see how it holds up!
@@pingpongballz5998 yep & I needed to replace the dealership installed radiator fan recently as they only had a 2 year warranty & now I see multiple seepage of coolant on radiator the dealership missed! I'm I buying another Renegade? NO!
2018 - 2.0 Multijet, 5 Jears with continuous Problems. The last 5 years I drove more time with the "check engine" warning on, than with it off. Every 1,5 years the car asks for a new battery (start-stop and headlight assistant stop working, settings in the menue get lost, air condition switches off by itself and many other issues come up). Checking the Battery in the garage, the tester says, that the battery is ok, but the car does not accept it anymore. Coupling rods had to be replaced 6 times already because they are made from cheap plastic (increadible for an offroad car). Meanwhile I invested over 9.400EUR for all kinds of repairs. Yes, I use the car offroad for hunting and other tasks, working outdoors. I bought this car, because I thought that it was made for this kind of use, but actually it is not. This car is the most unreliable and prone to failure, I had in over 40 years. The power train is totally subterrestrial, 170HP but there is absolutely no torque, it feels like a 55HP VW Jetta from the 80s. If you love car trouble, buy a Jeep Renegade 2.0 Multijet.
Thank you. How about the rpm suddenly stays at high value when you slow down and takes some time to let you able run proper. Stepping the gas does nothing, just rpm goes up. Looks like the automatic transmission does not move to lower gear when needed. Can you advice? It only got 25K in the clock.
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.
They lost a class action lawsuit over the oil consumption issue. They will extend the powertrain warranty, recalibrate the idle and trans shifting points through software updates. if that doesn't work, they'll replace the long block. A tremendous job, that the vehicle will probably never be the same.
No, not all all. The 1.4T version is rock reliable. Might still have the CV shaft issue & there were some electronics gremlins in '15 & '16.. Also, stabilizer links can go early, but new replacements are relatively cheap.
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
The radio display on mine is constantly switching over to European units. Also the AC stopped working in my 2016 1.4L. I think that's about the only problems I've have with mine
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.
Only issue I've had is the sway bar links. Made of Italian cheese! I've had none of the issues mentioned in this video. 2016 Trailhawk. Diesel of course, no coil packs :p
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.
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?
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.
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😅

I had a 2017 renegade and had nothing but trouble they ended up putting in 7 radiators and two engines my car recently had another bunch of problems. I end up, trading it in and getting rid of it would not recommend even though I did absolutely love it.
What about the my sky roof... I'm able to take them off using the Jeep key but whenever you're in the car and you want to use the vent feature or to open it the motor makes noise but nothing happens... I just got my 2017 jeep renegade few days ago, I'm just doing a quick search there isn't much on how to fix it other than people saying you got to clean the track or fix a fuse but my motor is working and the track is clean and it still won't go back or vent
I drive a 2015 modle and after it needed a new transmission at 40k then Reprogrammed 6 times witch has killed fuel mileage iam done still don't shift right it would go though about 4 quarts of oil between oil changes (evey 3k) I switched to 5w30 that stoped the oil burning. But iam done trading it off this summer!! Good Reddens!!
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.
It’s called laggy transmissions. Toyota’s are like that Honda and more.
@@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.
I thought my wifes old 2011 Subaru Outback had the market cornered on oil consumption and piston ring issues, guess not. I like the Jeep Renegade. But seeing all these issues, I will look elsewhere. Thank you for putting out these video 1A Auto team !
If it’s not too late, don’t let this video deter you. My fiancé bought her renegade in 2015 brand new and with proper maintenance through 7 years and 80k miles, I’ve never had to replace or fix anything outside of the normal maintenance. And does great in snow when I only own a 600hp mustang and a sportsbike I get to take it😂
Good move. I have a renegade it's absolute junk. But then I also think all. Jeeps are
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.
I have 2017 jeep rene and it is so much fun to drive it does shift quickly when driving slow that's something to get used to but other than that its a great vehicle.
This was a decent video but he was obviously being very kind. The problems with this vehicle are very very extensive and common.
No more than any other car though, wouldn't you say? I've had great service from my 5 year old UK Trailhawk. You yanks love to hate on the Renegade - we love it over hear. Easily the biggest seller for Jeep.
I instantly fell in love with this vehicle. I was convinced I was going to buy one. It's a beautiful vehicle.
*Then I heard about the transmission issues....* Why haven't you solved this Jeep?
Because it’s a fca vehicle and fca tends to make pieces of junk
@@GrayGray72Gamez guess again, it's a rebadged fiat 500 4x4. Fiat stands for " FIX IT AGAIN TONY". If you really want one you should lease it, if not go look at a Toyta or Hondas...
Just get a manual, won't have any issues with it then.
@@imcrazyforwar stop trying to drive it like a stick with the slap shifter.
Get it have a 2015 renegade trailhawk with over 77k miles on it and I love it. The transmission is not a serious issue trust me u get used to it
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 know this was months ago but what model / series is your renegade ? i thought all renegades didn't have gas caps thats the only reason i asked.
My 2021 at 11 months old with 970 miles blew the fuel pump relay fuse. They had to locate a new relay. They installed it. It's been ok.
What about the metal pipes that go between the firewall and connects to the heater cord that leak coolant? The labor time is only supposed to be .5 labor however you have to completely remove the entire dash to gain access to it.
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
I had 78k miles on the 2.4l and mine decided to catch fire out of nowhere. There has never been any other issues before that point. Engine was running great before this incident.
2015 trail hawk with 133k on it never had a coil issues, no hose issue does eat oil from
Time to time, and might have that cv joint noise on passenger
Can you do a video on how to replace the coil pack connectors? Mine broke today.
I have what seems like an automatic transmission problem with the 2015 Jeep renegade I just purchased. 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?
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 2017 Jeep Renegade and I'm hearing a sloshing sound when accelerating (seems to come from under the dash in front of the driver). I've heard it might be a clogged AD Drain line. I've been trying to locate it but can not. I would appreciate any advice, pics, videos if you have any. Thanks!
I'm also having trouble when fueling up, the nozzle keeps shutting off. Help/thoughts?
I have replaced the bottom motor mount on my 2016, it was making a loud clunk when I put it in gear.
I hear a noise when accelerating in 5th gear at low rpms between 1,000-1,500 can be related to a bad front CV shaft ? Or could be engine lugging sound? Now when Im about to accelerate I down shift mannualy to prevent lugging
Love how the problems are reviewed on a positive side, not like everyone just winning
I go through over two quarts between oil changes. And the shocks are just awful on this vehicle, I've replaced them twice.
My dad actually has one its a 2016 sport 1.4t and ive driven it in the canyons its a fun car once it gets into boost
I love my Fiat Jeep 2021! I believe people who Browbeat there cars have Problems with every car! Treat it nice! “”Lol””this car is so solid & is Extremely smooth on the roads & highways…nice heavy,quiet,Smooth riding car with comfortable seats…Many great colors to choose, lots of room for such a tiny little Square bug!
My 2018 Renegade is getting that P2122 code, that refers to the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). Apparently it is common these cars and is a pain to pinpoint and fix the issue.
2021 renegade. where is the the oil dip stick ?? is it a turbo or NOT ..... help
I just got a 2017 latitude with 70k miles it’s in amazing condition but I noticed there’s a wierd delay when I accelerate
I have that cv joint issue ya think that's covered in the powertrain warranty
What about the thermostat that is the #1 issue I see as a jeep tech with the 2.4L engines.
That and the BS little motor mounts Jeep used the first 2 years of this car.
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.
How do you fix this issue I have the same problem
Other than wearing thru front tires relatively quickly, no issues.
I have 2 2021 Renegades with the 1.3 turbo engines. We live in Texas, and everything is 75 and cruise control (both have adaptive cruise). They will not go into 8th or 9th gear going downhill with a 40mph tail wind. Have had TCM and PCM updates. You are the pros... Any ideas? 2 Dealers say this is common and deal with it.
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.
man, I was hoping it would say they have issues with the lights. My fog lights and other lights keep shorting out and the dealer wants a lot of money to check for electrical issues. I've replaced one headlight wireharness myself but not sure why the fog lights keep blowing.
I bought a 2016 trail hawk in 2018 with 17K miles had a lot of problems that was covered under warranty: A/C, radiator fan 2X, radiator leak (leaked in warranty) I found after replacing fan out of warranty! power seat, wiper fluid hose issue, & now at 77K miles the only issue is the door panel & headliner fabric is separating! Due to low quality of adhesive Jeep uses & high humidity where I live! Voice recognition leaves a lot to be desired! Will I buy another..????
2015 rennogade 235k still running strong
Does this thing have an oil temp sensor and if it does, where is it located? I'm getting zero readings on the dash.
Re: oil consumption. My 2015 Renegade: I went to the dealer and they reprogrammed the 2.4 liter engine computer. No more 1 quart per 1000 miles. How did that stop the usage? Very interesting.
I had a 2018 TrailHawk and 4000 miles in 5th started slipping bad… traded it in for a Wrangler.
I just bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade. Can I put it into 4wd or snow, sand, mud mode while driving or do I have to be stationary?
How about the 2017 model?
Same thing its the first Generation.
✔
I got 2016, bought with 16,000 mi. Now 42,000 mi. Luckily all the problems happened under warranty,: radiator fan, A/C, windshield washer hose, driver's seat control & door handle came off. Had a temporary loss of engine power once, 1 minor issue is I can't leave the back wiper on rain sensing mode. Will I buy another...? We'll see how it holds up!
That's quite a bit lol
@@pingpongballz5998 yep & I needed to replace the dealership installed radiator fan recently as they only had a 2 year warranty & now I see multiple seepage of coolant on radiator the dealership missed! I'm I buying another Renegade? NO!
2018 - 2.0 Multijet, 5 Jears with continuous Problems.
The last 5 years I drove more time with the "check engine" warning on, than with it off.
Every 1,5 years the car asks for a new battery (start-stop and headlight assistant stop working, settings in the menue get lost, air condition switches off by itself and many other issues come up).
Checking the Battery in the garage, the tester says, that the battery is ok, but the car does not accept it anymore.
Coupling rods had to be replaced 6 times already because they are made from cheap plastic (increadible for an offroad car).
Meanwhile I invested over 9.400EUR for all kinds of repairs.
Yes, I use the car offroad for hunting and other tasks, working outdoors.
I bought this car, because I thought that it was made for this kind of use, but actually it is not.
This car is the most unreliable and prone to failure, I had in over 40 years.
The power train is totally subterrestrial, 170HP but there is absolutely no torque, it feels like a 55HP VW Jetta from the 80s.
If you love car trouble, buy a Jeep Renegade 2.0 Multijet.
Switch to 30w oil, that should solve the oil consumption issue. 20w and low tension piston rings are a lame attempt at increasing gas mileage.
Thanks for you tips. Good day guy.
Don’t forget the fuel pump issue makes it stall and even disable it there is a recall on the fuel pump
You forgot BAD MOTOR MOUNTS AND BAD RADIATOR FAN ... they give out all the time ... I work at a shop, it’s common issue
+Fernando Estrada Thanks for the feedback!
@@1AAuto That's only true for the 2015's & early 2016's...both issues were fixed by Jeep with updated parts. Fan issues were recalled.
Thank you. How about the rpm suddenly stays at high value when you slow down and takes some time to let you able run proper. Stepping the gas does nothing, just rpm goes up. Looks like the automatic transmission does not move to lower gear when needed. Can you advice? It only got 25K in the clock.
Any problems with front end noise....Noise from bumps........JB.
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.
They lost a class action lawsuit over the oil consumption issue. They will extend the powertrain warranty, recalibrate the idle and trans shifting points through software updates. if that doesn't work, they'll replace the long block. A tremendous job, that the vehicle will probably never be the same.
Do all of the symptoms described in the video also apply to the 1.4 L multi air Turbo models?
No, not all all. The 1.4T version is rock reliable. Might still have the CV shaft issue & there were some electronics gremlins in '15 & '16.. Also, stabilizer links can go early, but new replacements are relatively cheap.
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
The radio display on mine is constantly switching over to European units. Also the AC stopped working in my 2016 1.4L. I think that's about the only problems I've have with mine
What’s with the SERVICE PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM light on the 2015 ? Can you just reset this or is there really an issue. Everything is working good..
Disconnect battery cables... wait 15 mins... reconnect cables
You forgot to mention the transmission failure. Etc etc etc....
Because jts not true. Stop listening to Scotty.
Oh yeah. Shift it into 9th and put it on cruise control. See what happens
Drive a manual, have no problems.
@@jeffb8562 I do it all the time - what happens?
I have a jerking problem I bought it brand new 2021 and it just started doing these jerking movements but there's nothing blinking idk what to do?
Seem like minor problems that can be fix by any diy person. Nice
These cars suffer from intermittent turbo boost problem also affecting other issues like start stop and cruise control. Anyone have any idea?
Same here. Did you figure out by now the source of this problem?
Don't forget the engine cooling fan recall :)
You didn't cover the transmission?
there is a recall on oil consumption for those with troubles
+Cercle De Feu Thanks for the feedback!
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.
Only issue I've had is the sway bar links. Made of Italian cheese! I've had none of the issues mentioned in this video. 2016 Trailhawk. Diesel of course, no coil packs :p
Bahahaha
@@ianfrost9118 What's that? You're a sheep? I don't understand.
2015 with 93,000 miles here
I did the radio update myself. Download to flash drive, upload to radio. Radiator fan was covered under warranty and no other problems.
SMH why would radio need update?
@@luimobilefixes5279 why not? It's a media player, bluetooth, navigation unit.

Partners Jeep Alarm is constantly going off. How do I disable the alarm before a neighbour falls out with me?
My jeep renegade want atart at all. At times i hesr a click. Its like everything is in lock down mode. How do i fix this?
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?
Do I need to use PREMIUM gas for my 2018 renegade? It has a 1.4 turbo engine.
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.
Actually there was a recall for the oil issue. It’s a computer mod upgrade. Oil issues no more!
+The Ghost American patriot Thanks for the feedback!
How about the volume going up and down when accelerating and braking? It’s weird 😂😂😂
you can fix that in the settings!! it’s a speed setting on your radio. just gotta turn it off.
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😅
Tx a lot mate!
Started using amsoil, and it stopped consuming oil.
What about the heat turning on and never turning off it won’t turn off at all!
This is going to be my first car
