    What were the symptoms that called for the replacement?

    It just kinda died on me going about 45mph. Notices came up on the dash about "service transmission" and I limped it into a grocery store - loss of power but it never actually stalled or anything. By the time I got out of the store and for the next day or so it was pretty much back to feeling normal. On the way to the dealer the service light actually went away but they decided it needed a new transmission. Now, it's really jerky in reverse and I should probably have that looked at.

    2016. Coming up on my 1 year in June! Mileage is 6,500. My only issue with my renny is that my A/C control knob lights are faulty and sometimes don't turn on. Anyone else have this problem?

    '15 Latitude, year and a half with 25,000 miles. Nothing major repaired so far. Two clunks that went away when technicians looked at it, and the proximity module for entry/lock faulted but there's no fix for it yet -- a reset has got it back working for now.

    Have had all the computer updates done as they came out when I was in for oil changes every 5,000 miles.

    We're getting a hesitation. Wife didn't notice it but I found it extremely unsettling to get essentially no throttle response and then when I pushed harder for it to almost want to jackrabbit-off.

    We're also seeing it pull to the side a bit. Anyone had their alignment fixed under warranty?

    I doubt they will do an alignment under warranty, considered normal wear. They might do it as a courtesy if you have a good dealer and low miles. My Latitude needed an alignment at about 25,000 and I had to pay for it.

    12month/12k mileage on the alignment warranty.

    @TrailHawk16 tpms resets on its own unless there's a problem. Like the tire people breaking a sensor for example. Reset is just set to pressure and drive.

    Wife has a 16 Trailhawk bought 6/16 after 14,300 miles we've seen the dealership 4 times. First was update for the beats audio system which they ended up bricking the radio (300 miles on vehicle) waited 3 weeks for replacement radio, at this time we noticed the rumbling noise coming from the rear that many on forums have observed and on next trip to dealer reported (dealer verified the noise). Second trip was to install new radio which ended up not having the navigation activated nor could they activate so another radio was ordered. Third trip was to install the 2nd replacement radio which ended up working. Fourth trip (14,000 miles) was due to the car throwing service electronic parking break and airbag error, dealer replaced the seat belt buckle on both ends. After a year of going back and forth on a "fix" for the rear end noise the dealer finally let us know that the official fix from Chrysler was a new rear diff, that took an extra week for it to arrive and get installed. When the dealer called back they informed us that the noise was still present and that they had also replaced the driveshaft as the boot was torn (already?). Currently we are waiting for a representative from Chrysler/Jeep to come drive the vehicle and give let us know the next steps. Might just have to give up on this one and try to envoke lemon law. Other than that the renegade has worked flawlessly.

    It's crazy to me that so many people are having issues with their Renegades, I have a '15 Trailhawk with 14k on it, plenty of it off-road, and absolutely no issues.

    '15 north commando green, 50k kilometres. No issues, but a couple recalls like the hitch bolts. Time for new front pads this week.

    You doing the pads yourself, or having a mechanic do them?

    Myself for sure, my local parts store had to order the pads, installing later this week. Should go smooth.

    Just an update, my 2015 Trailhawk has 22k on it now... Hard off-roading, commuting, highway... I maintain it, but I drive mine like a rented mule and still no issues.

    2015 Latitude 9 speed, no major problems. Had the radio replaced but it turned out to be speakers. Today - 50,000 miles.

    Only about 2,000 kms on my Daughters new-to-her '17 Limited with 22,000 km on it now.....and performing flawlessly. And the oil level has not moved even a mm yet.....check 5 mins after she parks it in the garage...for consistency
