Beware the Renegade Rumble! (Check Before You Buy a Used Jeep Renegade)

They are very good, although they depreciate quickly. That should make them a fine choice on the used market.

definitely have one checked out by an independent mechanic, not the place you're buying one from

The Jeep Renegade burn oil.

I skipped the A/C check, because mine doesn't have it. But I got it brand new out the door for 13k so I'm not complaining.

I can turn mine on 2015 renegade. And shift it to drive and drive off it rumbles. Should I worry

Hahahaha renegade rumble

"Remodeling the oil pan on a boulder" is not something I ever expected to hear from a rather professional review type video, but it's definitely effective :D

The cooling fan issue is a recall and will be replaced. I usually go a quart of oil low once a month.

Some Renegades with the 2.4L multi-air engine consume oil. So much so, numerous class-action lawsuits have been filed against Fiat/Chrysler. The vehicle can stall without warning due to low or no oil in the engine. FCA has issued a TSB claiming a certain amount of oil consumption is normal for this engine. They also recommend owners carry extra oil with them at all times...buyer beware

Paid 20k for NEW! Nobody farts in it.

Fix it again, tony

nice vid but please lose the background music next time. or at least lower its volume.

Don't waste your money on this piece of a junk of a car ...must admit I fell in love with the vehicle on sight ...it's the first expensive vehicle I've owned this far... Everything about this vehicle is so fragile .... Had to deal with occurring seat belt error messages , burnt out fans and more !!!! My 2 small KiA pecanto will put work this any day .... Worst vehicle ever !!!!!!

Only rumble I had is from my MySky. The panel was loose from inside the roof. But it was something I did and it was covered under warranty. I had no other issues. I’m almost at 30,000 miles.

These cars are awful. So many electrical issues and quite frankly labor-intensive everything on this car. Such a terrible design to work on. Also very popular for intermittent issues of stalling and dead dash. Hard to pinpoint since it happens randomly and doesn’t happen again for a while!

I like the shape of the jeep, shame the engine is useless. It would be great if had a Toyota, Suzuki or Honda engine 😁.

4 wheel drive fiat 500.. junky car

Endless money pit

My 2016 was alway is in wrong gear around 35-40mph. When i did notice the issue I would switch to manual to find the right gear or just give a bit more throttle to get to a different gear.
The wrong gear syndrome has actually lessened significantly as our Jeep gets older and has been very reliable. This is our daily driver and we still love it. The Jeep is peppy in town and likes to be driven with a heavier foot.

I've had 2 Renegades. A 2018 1.6 diesel Longitude and currently have a 2020 1.0 turbo petrol Limited. Absolutely love them.

So, how did the dealers under warranty fix the "rumble"? If it's a common problem it should have a common fix, no?

Renegade rumble 😂. Check the clutch and flywheel first if you have the 1.4 manual, otherwise you’ll get stuck with a bill for $3800 like I did 😂😭

My girlfriend's was a rental before and it had this weird banging under the car while riding. I look under it and her front end sway bar link was loose. You're right about idiots going too hard off road

I decided to not buy a Renegade; the transmission lagged between 1st and 2nd gear. Very annoying.

Check oil regularly

It's much easier to just buy a Toyota.

I currently own a 2.0 turbo diesel 9 speed auto Renegade 2019. It’s still in warranty. I’ve been noticing the gearbox rumble around 50 - 60 kph. Have you got any tips about how should I proceed to take care of this issue? What causes it? What are the long term consequences? Thank you!

Piles of junk made by fiat they fall apart

It's a Fiat... Based on the 500 platform... The transmission is bad, recalled and there is no good replacement as I understand it... Not a good " Jeep". Don't buy it, you can get a much better vehicle for the money.

Luv my Lil jeep renegade but can suggest... stay away from 2015 and 2016 model's!!! They have the most issues and also faulty engine mounts!! Jeep will not recall the engine mounts or take any responsibility for the cost yet they fully admit they are faulty/not safe at all 🤦!!! Lots of recalls on the early year renegades as well like issues with the fan and so on!!
You also don't need a expensive trailhawk to go off-road!! I have a 4x4 latitude model that has been through everything including several feet of water... it's a champ and does fine!! Being a free lance photographer at times I go places where there are no roads and/ or getting caught in some bad weather.... my little Jeep does just fine!!! I did upgraded tires tho to nobby off road ones!! Stock tires where down right awful off road!!!

Be aware that only the Trailhawk model comes with a spare tire.

There are a couple of reasons for a rumble, I've had both. First was a pretty simple fix, but dealer charged a lot more than they should have. It's on the 2015 TH, it's the snorkel coming from the air filter box, if that's loose or disintegrated it will cause a rumble at certain RPM's. The other one was caused by bad front CV axles, but that took the dealer A LONG TIME to figure out, and I had a wobble that was the early indicator, and then a rumble on acceleration. It's a $1000 repair.

I know this is an older video but I wanna add that the radiator fan had a recall so if it wasn't replaced just take it to a dealer and they will replace it for free. Have had my jeep renegade for 6 years now and has had no major issues

Are you kidding me, this thing is an absolute abortion of a vehicle. Anyone who buys this thing will be extremely disappointed with how many issues these things will have.

You have been warned, they are complete junk

Trash. I was happy until 66,000 miles. Routine maintenance and oil changes. Still died. It is cute car. But never again Jeep Chrysler Dodge Fiat... I have been burnt to many times! Never own any of these vehicles more than a year or two then trade ASAP!!!

The Renegade Rumble does not exists

I bought my car -4 I didn’t dare try the ac

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
Repent of your sins and be saved!! JESUS died for our sins, so that we could have eternal life! JESUS CHRIST is our Lord and Savior!

Yeah I really want a Fiat Panda in disguise

Just took my TH offroading near kanab, UT made it out to several slot canyons and an old ghost town with out any issue. Driving thru a Sandy wash on the way to peekaboo slot canyon was no issue and neither was getting out to buckskin gulch and wire pass. This little jeep can go almost anywhere with a little knowledge and some good all terrain tires. I recommend replacing the stock tires with the Cooper Discover AT3. H honestly that's the only thing you need to change.

so its best to not buy this car... OMG

All 2015 and 2016 have bad motor mounts. They redesigned them for 2017 and newer. The shaking was so bad I replaced them and it feels great now. There is also a design flaw behind the plastic piece you remove to change the passenger taillight. The metal behind there that’s at a 45 degree angle flexes and causes a thunk sound when going through dips and etc. there is a guy who figured out how to make it go away and it worked great. The newer models seem to have fixed this problem also bc the metal piece now runs straight across instead of at an angle

this is really just a FIAT 🤣🤣 Fix It Again Tony, pice of shit 💩

this is really just a FIAT 🤣🤣 Fix It Again Tony, pice of shit 💩

I heard this is basically a Fiat Panda. Is this true?

So basically check it for the same thing you would any used vehicle... check

Both transmission and catalytic converter went bad on my jeep renegade 😢
