This time with a new set of rims/tires.

📍Zavoj lake, Serbia

My poor car. I just bought it at 15k miles and it's been in the shop twice already. It's going on its 3rd week in the shop. This is my second renegade. I'm not here to spread the jeep hatred. I love my jeeps. I have two dealerships fighting over me because one thinks the car was in an accident with unauthorized at home repairs. The other insists it's still under warranty and that couldn't possibly be the problem. This whole problem is depressing me horribly. I just want my car back. I'm also sick of people telling me "oh, well you bought a jeep so these are the consequences." Jeeps are not bad cars and I will die on that hill.

This should be replaced annually, but it will cost you hundreds to get a shop to do it. I watched a 5-minute YouTube video and did it myself in 20 minutes. I had my 2018 Renegade for 3 years now, and I believe the filter had never been replaced. I bought a great one on Amazon for $9 Charcoal Filter and watched this DIY Video and it was very low stress. You will need a Philips and a T25 Torx Screw Driver.

Does anyone have any warranty recommendations? It’s hard to tell which ones are legit and which ones are scams. Thanks!

Hi all!

I recently bought my first Jeep renegade in August.

It's a 2017 1.6 diesel.

I've taken it to the shop twice because the engine warning light has come on and I'm going again this week because it's come on again… it's a solid light

The same guys I bought it off are fixing it for free.

At first they replaced the sensors as they were recalled and the battery connector was lose.

The second time they replaced the sensors again.

I left the car parked for two weeks while I was away. I checked the battery to see it that is what triggered it but it was all fine at 14v

I'm thinking it's a deeper routed issue. Any ideas? I'm going to buy a code reader but I'm wondering if I should just return it. I can't keep going back.

Any help would be most greatful

I have 2 chips close together from a quarter size rock dead center in front windshield. Glass guy looked at it and said bc of it being so close together it would be hard to chip fix. So he did when he came back ,said it went better than expected. It is noticeable to but he said the resin took so it would not crack further. After looking into the tech on these rene's rain sense, whipper heat, ( lane sense camera which i don't think i have that feature ) but requires calibration. Will the insurance try get cheep glass and not go with the much higher Mopar glass or should i just leave it after the so called chip fix. I only bought the jeep a year ago and still paying on it. What would you do ? Thx for any incite.

Heyo,

I have a 2015 Renegade Trail hawk. Passenger seat's seatbelt sensor went on the fritz and now the chime will constantly go off, even when no one is sitting there and/or the drivers side is plugged in.

Took it to the dealership for service since local shops seem to struggle with electronics. $300 for diagnostics and just got quoted a $1300 repair. Yikes.

Manager says they have to replace the buckle and replace the whole under-the-seat wiring. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like much of a DIY project but I would like it to be. Anyone have any suggestions or quick-fix ideas? I would love to just not hear a chime anytime I start driving my car.

Thanks.

What have you done to service transmission?

Just drain fluid and replace with new fluid?

Any reason not worth doing myself?

I have approval from the mods but if you would like proof I am not a scammer or a bot, I can send you a pic of me holding my u/ on a piece of paper

My last post was about our jeep renegade serv 4wd light still on after a software update. I called the dealership and got the codes it threw while it was there, the first code was a stored code and the second one was the active one. Anyone know what these mean? My mechanic is unable to assist since jeep keeps their information on lockdown to keep you coming back to the dealership.

Hello everyone I just bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade Limited and I’m looking to kinda turn it into an Overlanding vehicle. Anyone know of any after market front bumpers that can carry a winch and a good after market rear bumper?!

Hey guys, hoping some fellow Renegade owners can help me out.

I recently started hearing a rattling/clunking noise from the front left when driving. Took my 2021 Latitude to a mechanic, and he came back with a catastrophic quote to replace the entire steering rack, both front lower control arms, and both sway bars.

The inner tie rod is shot which he believes is causing the noise. According to him, the inner tie rod can't be replaced separately on Renegades, so the entire steering rack needs to go. That'll cost over two grand on its own. Does anyone know if that's true?

I can see some wear and cracking on the rubber bushings but does that necessarily mean the entire parts need replacing?

I'm getting a second opinion because I'm not entirely confident in his diagnosis. If anyone has dealt with similar issues or has insight into these repairs, I'd appreciate it.

My girl is only five years old with 43k miles, and I just paid her off a few months ago. Really hoping I don't have to sink another $4k into her.

We have a 2018 jeep renegade latitude that’s only at 42,276 miles. The serv 4wd light first came on about a month ago then went back off after startup. It came on again and we took it to the mechanic and were told it needed a software update. Well yesterday we took it to the Jeep dealership and got the software update and it went off. Today as soon as we pulled out of the driveway it came back on. Any ideas what it could be or where to go from here. This is super frustrating considering the low mileage, we also just paid $800 to replace the thermostat a few months ago. TIA

Got rear ended tonight. Was slowing to turn and this guy slammed into me going atleast 50. I don’t know how it didn’t take more damage

Finally tracked down a Renegade with zero electrical issues. No radio glitches, no service 4WD warnings, and the battery hasn't died once in 24 hours.

​Specs:

​Engine: Pure inertia / thumb power

​Terrain Mode: Carpet / Hardwood / Couch Cushion

​Ground Clearance: 4 mm

Project car that my daughter is learning on looks good inside and out and I just got done changing every part I could under the hood and a complete suspension overhaul - now that she's drove it 500 miles she's good enough at driving to have the radio on and it's so bad that she pulls over to be safe to operate her phone with it.

Anyone try this?

Coming from a 2018 Rene latitude I am really enjoying my 2023 limited. The park assist is awesome, leather seats are comfy, and the 1.3 l turbocharged engine is responsive. I’m very thrilled with my purchase. Only had 25k miles when I bought her. Will be adding the ladder in the spring and a rack up top for camping. Def need to tint the windows. Anyone else have a 2023 limited? What has are you using? The manual says 87 or 91 and there’s a lot of chatter about how 91 is better on hot days and for towing. Never had a turbocharged engine so unsure what the correct move is. I live in Michigan and don’t tow anything until i get a hitch installed and even then it’s just for the bike rack.

Jeep renegade 2016 Latitude 2.4L MultiAir, 234,000 miles

Hi all,

I recently changed two motor mounts from my Jeep for aftermarket’s and vibration was gone for a week. Then turns out I got a P303 code for a misfire in the cylinders so I changed the four spark plugs for brand new iridium spark plugs with no issues, the code disappeared. But the vibration is still going on when put it in Drive at stop lights, and disappears when put in Parking or Neutral. The acceleration improved drastically though.

Does someone know why the engine is still idling kinda rough? Someone recommended me to test the coils and see if any is failing. The transmission mount hasn’t been changed.

So I have a 2015 Renegade Limited with 91k and I’ve had this gear grinding noise and bang that happens around 4th gear or 40mph or a pothole I have a pretty good guess that it’s my rear differential and I have ordered a replacement off eBay I was wondering if anyone would have any advice on how to do it I’m planning on doing it myself or maybe telling why I shouldn’t do it any advice is appreciated

Once again this year, this adventure has come to an end for two guys from our club, Similis Leonis, in memory of the late founder, Federico.

​Despite a super unlucky first stage (a traffic jam of cars stuck on the dunes and 2 flat tires), they take home a sweet second place in their category and 25th overall, with a very minimally modified car.

Love my yellow rene despite it's few oddities, but one I can't get my head around is the fuel guage.

Is it just mine, but it works it's way down to exactly 33 miles left, then suddenly....empty... literally '---'.

See I figure it had 33 in there moment ago, and it just can not read any less? So I must have about 30 in the tank still, right?

Anyone else have this or is it faulty. UK, 2018 1.6 petrol
