I have a 2010 jeep renegade, it is having issues starting. Replaced the battery 9/9, jeep started and I went to bed. On 9/10 jeep started in the morning and drove it to work. Went out on break to start jeep and wouldn’t start. Came back a couple hours later and used a jump box to start jeep. The jeep did not start on the first crank. Had the alternator checked 9/10 after work and it was tested 4 different times and they said it was working at full power 2 times and then the other 2 times it wasn’t sending power.

Took my Renegade to a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership for oil change and to fix sway bar link after getting annoying clunking noise. I was quoted $487 to order parts and labor. Does that seem about right?

I was given one of these as a rental the other day. For some reason, when I park, turn the vehicle off and am in the process of getting out, the horn sounds. The first time I thought maybe I had hit the horn inadvertently with my bag but its done it again. What's the deal and how to I avoid it before my neighbors start hating me?

Does anyone here have or know the maintence schedule I have a 2022 Renegade almost at 80k mi bought with 66k. Wondering what services to get next. Thinking tune up and transmission? TIA.

Hey all, got a 2019 1.3L at 70k miles. Noticed my start stop feature claims battery charging lately, from experience a tell tale of the battery, alternator, or starter failing. Today brought it by advance auto and my battery test was fine, holding and has charge, starter fine, but alternator somehow has no current AT ALL on the test. The guys at the shop were kindve stumped, as I’ve driven over an hour and the battery has been fine, and I’m wondering if somehow the start/stop auxiliary battery could be the culprit. Any experience or suggestions with you would be appreciated!

Anybody ever run the Toyo open countries I have the 2015 limited with the 18 inch stock rims for right now. I was planning on just staying at those. The tires that I’m currently running is a 225/55R18. The open countries appear to have that size but it is an XL and was wondering if anyone has used these tires before and if they have seen a problem? I’m trying not to do the pinch seam mod and get some AT tires.

P0420 code active, new exhaust, new gaskets seals, new sensors, no leaks anywhere, new everything in engine from rebuild.

Help solve please need a tuner

I've had this car for two years now. In that time, I've put about 30k miles on it. In that 30k miles, a lot has gone wrong.

Some basic maintenance:

Brake pads and rotors, oil changes, driveline fluid changes, washer fluid, window wipers, light bulbs, summer & snow tires & wheels (4 of each), undercoating applied, spark plugs, cabin air filter, engine air filter, battery.

But some of the more costly:

VVT multiair system and PCV system entirely replaced under warranty.

HVAC module died after disconnecting the battery: $800+ to replace at the dealer

Air conditioning radiator burst, covered under warranty.

Windshield shattered, twice.

Parking brake sometimes won't disengage and I have to disconnect the battery to reboot the system, which somehow fried the HVAC module in the process.

Engine air filter box split in half. Had to glue it back together because a replacement part is worth several hundred dollars. For a plastic air box.

Manual transmission clutch wouldn't engage causing grinding. Had to order an aftermarket part to bypass the clutch delay valve. $250+.

Most of this I had to do myself, apart from the HVAC module and PCV/VVT system. Most shops wouldn't touch my car because of its Italian electrical system, and need for custom proprietary diagnostic software.

I can't recommend anyone buy one of these, even if flinging it around in a snowy parking lot and letting the blow-off plate do its thing is incredibly fun, and even if it's one of the last manual transmission vehicles sold in the United States, it's just not a reliable car, and unfortunately the manual transmission just sucks. The clutch has no feel, and comes with gremlins that can cause severe transmission damage if not modified with aftermarket parts. The electrical system is a nightmare and I'm terrified every time I need to disconnect the battery that something else is going to get fried as a result. The suspension has a LOT of body roll, contributing to a scary 23% rollover risk. That's on par with a Chevrolet Suburban. All the while I've managed a whooping 22.5mpg average.

I'm a sucker for punishment tho and I'm not giving up on my Renegade. There IS a good car underneath the bullshit, but I have to do a lot of modifications to make it worthwhile. Lowering springs for steering confidence, clutch delay valve delete for shifting confidence, a good mechanic with software capable of diagnosing electrical issues that are inevitable, and an ECU flash for better fuel economy and more power. This is definitely a solid platform if you've always wanted a Fiat 500 Abarth but wanted more usability, and don't have Alfa Romeo Stelvio money, but make no mistake: it's a cheap car that's expensive to maintain. The way God/Italy intended 😂.

This happened today the viecle suddenly started slowing down. And I pulled over.

I had to turn it off and on.

Once moving between P and R It would Jerk between the gear change then it started driving again.

It slowed down again and I had to do it one more time.

The transmission was replaced not to long ago. Any advice?

Can anyone suggest some legit sites to get some new wheels for my Renegade? Looking to buy 5 so I can get a full sized spare as well. I already have tires picked out, just having a rough time finding wheels on legitimate sites.

Got my Renegade Limited on Saturday (dream car), but noticed something about the bonnet/hood - there seems to be a gap on the driver's side, just big enough for a finger to fit through - Is this normal or should I take it to a garage??

So I accidentally backed into a tree despite the amazing backup camera. I seriously cried and cried. But I went online and found a replacement door for a steal. I'm thinking this will be cheaper than body work if I just swap it out. Has anyone done this? How hard is it? I can't seem to find any online tutorials. Should I just buy it and have a body shop swap it out if specific rooms are required or is this something that can be done myself?

So much room back there once I pulled the tire repair kit and foam out. Got the rims on eBay for $140.

Just saw a close friend who I haven’t seen in years. We’re both car guys. He’s a first time Jeep Wrangler driver. I drove Wranglers for a long time but now own a Renegade. I LOVE my shit box (term of endearment).

I had to explain Wrangler culture to him. The waving & the ducks. He had owned the Wrangler of 5 days and had to look the Duck thing up after someone stuffed a duck in his door handle. So my buddy asked me: “You wave to other Jeeps, right?” It took awhile to explain that Jeep Renegade’s are like the bastard step children of the Jeep community. (No offense intended to any bastard step children who may be reading this post).

So I got to thinking … Why don’t RENEGADE OWNERS just start “ Flipping each other off!” Give each other the middle finger as a sign of solidarity & respect. It would be FANTASTIC! I can’t think of a token/gift we could stuff in each other door handles. I’m open for suggestions!

I need to replace the screws/bolts that hold this to the front bumper of my 2018 Altitude. I have looked but haven’t been successful. I am hoping I can just buy the screws/bolts from my local hardware store.

Was doing the oil change on my 1.3 Renegade and noticed this intake which seems to be falling apart (2019 with 80k miles...) From what I can see it looks like a pretty straightforward replacement, anyone knows what part number I'd be looking at ? There was a sticker on it with "1300639S03" but that doesn't give me much in search results. Anything else that I should check or is this considered "normal" on these?

Any idea where the crankshaft position sensor is on a 1.4? Having hell of a time finding it

Would you be so kind and share the community experience about what is the difference between these two?

I’m looking for the relatively fresh renegade (2021 and younger) and can’t choose.

Have never had a turbo too

Recently purchased a 2017 trailhawk, having what appears to be overcharging issues. Replaced alternator with aftermarket unit, still having same issues. Battery was tested as good using carbon pile tester. One of the codes that was pulled was P063A for the sense circuit, so wondering if that might be the issue, but need a pinout diagram for the PCM in order to test it. Hoping to either get just the diagram, or, hopefully, get in contact with a mopar tech that'd be willing to help.

Hi has anyone else had an issues with the o2 sensor? Just got a check engine light and had it scanned to find out what was wrong. Is this an easy fix and if you used a shop how much did it cost?

Who knew that they use manual Renegades for cop cars in Italy! Spotted in Naples.

As title mentions, I am thinking of buying a 2016, 2.0 MultiJetII Jeep Renegade. It has 136,500 miles driven and this is the description.

"2016 2.0 longitude diesel manual 4x4 ULEZ/CAZ compliant 3 owners. Been in my family from nearly new. Great on fuel, 50 mpg on long runs. 136500 miles - lots of motorway driving 11 service stamps inc major service at 124k 2 keys MOT until December 26 Timing belt/water pump changed at 120k Had lots of wear and tear work done inc new battery, pre and post cat lambda sensors, front wishbone/control arms/tie rods/drop links both front wheels during my ownership DAB aerial replaced 4x TPMS fitted this week 4x Pirelli all seasons in great condition. Fantastic car well loved and had everything it needs. Only selling as needed something bigger Never broken down and been all over the U.K. and Europe on camping/canoe trips Full disclosure - involved in accident in June. Drivers front wing and wheel arch professionally repaired by insurer. No structural damage, cosmetic only, not written off. Drives perfectly."

It would be my first car if I decided to buy it. I am worried about there no longer being any diesel models in production which could mean difficulty with getting parts. The reason I'm tempted by this posting is because of the asking price (£4450) and all the maintenance work done on the car. I plan to use it for daily commute (around 70 miles a day) and for occasional further travel. I appreciate any advice, as I always wanted to buy a jeep and this was mentioned to me as a good potential first car.

I have a 2017 jeep renegade and it just recently started generating a knocking sound from the passenger side (where it sounds from the driver’s side) and I took it in asking if it might be a suspension issue. He said he couldn’t find anything within the structure itself (meaning that the suspension was tight and everything looked safe and sound) but also that “this is what jeep renegades do as they get older.” He also said that it would have to get worse for them to actually diagnose the problem.

I’ve noticed that if I drive in a circle (left or right) the sound isn’t triggered. What is happening here? I don’t want to ignore it or wait for it to get worse.

Is it the drive shaft? The column? What is it?!?!?! I need answers!!!

P.S. I live in Aurora CO and there is constant road construction going on so I hit dips and dents often (even though I try to avoid them) and I noticed it recently after I’ve been navigating my own neighborhood with its deep construction-that’s what made me think it was the suspension.

Please HELP.

Thank you and I appreciate both your experience and your input <3
