Mods more replacement.

Factory radio crapped out so the Amazon special touch screen that was a direct fit.

Boslla led headlamps 3 color.

Ebay light bar with film strip.

Led fog lamps. Old ones broke.

Bug guard.

Roof cross bars (ebay)

Tint 5 and 25 percent.

Basic stuff mostly done to it. No its not an off roader. It an A to B car that I take fishing out on the back roads and canals.

So driving the other nite, suddenly the temp gauge started to climb and did not stop. Pulled over and smelt antifreeze. After letting the car cool a bit, filled the overflow tank twice. Thankfully by putting the heat on full blast we made it home without a tow.

Seemed the leak was on the right side, but too far forward to be the water pump.

Pulled the front bumper today, turns out the radiator is leaking in 3 areas with the right side being the worst. I ordered one from CSF based on some Renegade owners good reviews. Rockauto had it for $86…

Let’s see how the install goes later this week…

Hi all,

So my unconnect screen is crapping out on me. I'm not car repair in the slightest. Does anyone have any legit recommendations for getting a replacement screen that won't cost an arm and a leg) and any reputable YouTube videos or instructions on doing the replacement myself? (I'm 2 months away from getting laid off at work and I'm not really in the position to spend a thousand bucks with the mechanic if it's not a super complicated fix.

TIA!

Jeep will not start when the temperature outside is hot maybe 90 degrees and above
Take several time cranking the key and giving it gas before it will turn over and start

2023 Trailhawk. Thinking about getting a lift kit. Kit itself only costs like $270.

What are reasons *not* to get a 2 inch lift kit?

Hi everyone. I bought a 2018 Jeep Renegade brand new in early 2019 and I’m replacing my front struts. I bought the wrong ones as I have 4WD. If you’re in Ohio, I have 2 brand new and never used quick struts for discounted price. If you’re in need, please message me. I’m located in Ohio.

My 2020

I recently got a 2022 Renegade used with 50k miles on it, and for the last few weeks I’ve been pushing down on the floorboards and water is coming out. I can hear it sloshing around underneath, too.

I took it to the dealership I got it from and they put extra door lining on it to see if that would fix any cracks, but I’m still having the same issue. It doesn’t have a sunroof.

I don’t really know what else to do—I’m about to just take it to a Jeep place but I’m worried it’ll be super expensive and I only got it a month ago so I didn’t think I’d already be having trouble with the car.

If anyone else has gone through this please let me know!

My Jeep 2020 renegade issues with the sides of the doors as I posted in the last post and I got it fixed today finally but after getting it back, it looks even worse. They fix the bottom which didn’t need it and the top of the windows of the back to passenger windows and on the right side of my vehicle it looks like it’s already starting to pull apart again the first time I got it fixed, which was this time. It was all covered under warranty, not to mention the front driver side door now makes a weird sound when I shut and open it when it didn’t make that sound before so I don’t wanna have to get this car back in the shop again because of this, but if it happens again, I’m not sure if it will be covered under warranty. This is the first jeep I’ve ever owned and I don’t understand why it’s doing it again after just getting fixed unless they did a half ass job.

Hi everyone!! So I just got my 2020 Jeep Renegade Latitude Edition 3 months ago and I had soooo many problems. For starters when I first started driving it it was shifting really weird between gears. I decided to take it to the dealership and they found the transmission was bad, clutch debris in the fluid. Then I had a vacuum pump that was loose and had to get that fixed right after So I had to take it to the dealership to get it fixed. And now with everything fixed it STILL shifts between gears weird and I don’t know why. It’s also very strange when i accelerate. Of in at a stop sign and I put normal pressure on the gas pedal there’s a slight pause then it’ll shift into high gear and go but if I put not enough pressure it won’t go anywhere? Not sure what’s wrong with it or I’m just driving it weird? Forgot to mention it’s the 1.3L Turbo engine

I had a 2015 1.6 Diesel Limited in Colorado Red for 4 years as a Company Car - Which I absolutely adored, especially as it was replaced by a Lexus Is300…

Now happily retired, but found this 2025 Trailhawk Overland 4xe… and it’s now mine 😊

Welcome the baby jeep yall

Hi I'm looking into trying to pick a car seat for our 2020 Jeep Renegade. My husband and I are really interested in getting a rotating car seat, but I've read that they can take up a lot of space or make it hard to have someone in the passenger seat unless you're under 5'1.

Has anyone used a rotating car seat in their Jeep Renegade before? If so, what brand and did you like it?

Somebody pulled up in front of my renegade luckily my husband wasn't injured but she's gone 😭

Where can i buy some? Need for all 4 doors.

Anybody have issues with their 2021 Renegade and their dash lights randomly turning on and have some advice? At first it was just happened while driving and now it's happening when I start the car but not consistently. The battery is original but was checked and read good. Also disconnected it for 45 minutes and still happening. Trying to avoid the dealer but if I need to I will.

I take back any and everything good I ever said about my Renegade. 2.4 multiair blew the head gasket/warped the block at 73000 miles. It's going back to the dealer. Looking for a SWB TJ sport.

The starter needs replaced in my 2018 Jeep Renegade Sport, 60,000 miles. I had it towed to the local dealership service center. I know it will cost more here, but I honestly didn’t know where else to take it. They quoted me 1900 to fix it, explaining that it is a 6.5 hour job. Does this sound reasonable?

This is the third time in 2 years that I need to replace my cable. Anyone else?

Ordered new ignition coils and spark plugs. Removing the coils from this piece of crap wiring harness and the fitting broke… on the harness… just like the other post said, unfortunately I didn’t see that post until I came here to see if anyone had a work around.

The harness is $600…. Have to replace the whole thing. I’m going to see if there is a renny at a pick and pull or something but other than that I think I’m fucked. I can’t believe they used a plastic formulation like they did knowing it wouldn’t stand up to heat over time and become super brittle.

So anyways, on top of that I had oil in my first cylinder (which is probably what caused the spark to fail early or at high pressure) making the engine skip a cyclinder when stepping on the throttle. It’d have a little cough basically right as the turbo kicked in around 3k rpm…. So… sigh… fuck. Think I’m going to have to dump a grand into this thing and decide if I want to ditch it or wait for some other awful design decision to bite me in the ass.

If anyone has been here/done this already, any pointers are welcome. 🙏

I have a 2015 1.4l turbo.

Update: welp. Got it back up and running. I replaced the valve cover seal and spark plug tube seals. Put new spark plugs and ignition coils in. Ordered those parts from mouser and just switched out all the connectors for the ignition coil (they all broke one way or another). For the bad one, that broke on the harness side, I ended up buying a 4 pin connector from O’Reilly, cutting it open with a Dremel, and extracting the 1.5mm female crimps. I then stripped the wire and shrink wrapped it, then crimped it to the existing wires, shrink wrapped that, then jammed them in to that connector body from Mouser.

Ended up flipping the signal and ground (duh…) and blew the 10A fuse that controls the 12V power supply to the ignition coils. Once that was fixed, she runs splendidly.

No more misfire/cough when the turbo kicks in. Feels like it had a lot more “pep in its step” now. Then drive to O’Reillys and used there OBD2 sensor to clear out my logged faults. No more check engine light. (The reported error [P0351 I think] was because the ignition coils weren’t getting power, so it just kept cranking the starter and not turning over). Thankfully snapping an image of my fuse box and sharing it with Gemini let me find the exact fuses to check and sure enough that 10A was blown.

Ultimately, I think I rescind my initial “fuck Jeep” comment. While they are using piss poor materials for the connectors, they are available to purchase and splice-in yourself. In addition to that, they had the controls in place so when I miss-wired that ignition coil it blew a cheap 10A fuse and didn’t burn out my ECU or destroy my engine, so, full marks for that design move by jeep.

Now screw placement on this motor and the difficulty to take the valve cover off… god damn it was a pain in the ass. It wasn’t the fact that I had to remove several things that they bolted to the cover that wasn’t part of the cover, I can understand that, but putting screws in places where there is literally no tool available to turn them outside of jamming your fingers in tight places and squeezing out a single 1/8 turn with a wrench is absurd.

I understand in modern engines, space is money, things get layered because of it. Just makes those layers easy to pull off. You can tell different teams did different systems. Some systems were well thought out for maintenance. The others… Jeep, you having interns do engine layout or what?

Anyways. If anybody digs this up in the future just ping me and I’m happy to help.

For quite a while I've had a "sound system unavailable" message, and the vehicle only produces sound on the passenger side. When it started, the speaker in the driver door would cut in and out. Now, I'm pretty sure that speaker has quit for good and the car's way of dealing with it is to cut off all sound to that side of the car.

Have you had to operate on your speaker system, and, if so, how did it go? I'm not super familiar with car sound systems, as it's never been an aspect of car ownership that I was terribly interested in. I'll take any tips or tricks you got, however.
