2017 JEEP RENEGADE Structurebody Problems

Factory settings for rear passenger window provide too much lift to window which place increase stress on weather stripping. Over time, weather stripping can break and compromise the door's electrical system. It also impairs how door closes leading to increased stress on the door pillar which can give way and break. This leads to further risk of compromise of electrical systems as well as body component as it may change the vehicle's dynamics.

THE MYSKY FEATURE ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ALONG WITH OTHERS VEHICLE HAS BROKE AND NOT WORKING. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR ALOT OF US IS THE BRACKETS THAT SLIDE THE ROOF OPEN AND CLOSE ARE BREAKING VERY EASILY. THERE ARE MANY JEEP RENEGADE USERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO SAID THE SAME THAT THEY FIX ALOT OF THESE ISSUES AND ARE NOT COVERED. THIS CAN ALSO BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS AN ESCAPE FROM A VEHICLE IF THE DOORS BECOME UNABLE TO OPEN.

We were in a HEAD ON COLLISION and our airbags never deployed, if they had my daughter and I would have Significantly less bodily injuries and trauma!! -No warning lamps or messages appeared before or after impact -yes vehicle has been inspected by police, insurance reps, auto service center rep, lawyer I was driving our newly purchased (owned less then 30 days with 17882 miles) 2017 Jeep Renegade with my teenage daughter at 4:38pm rain was present traveling straight through an green light intersection I had the right a way when another car traveling towards us attempting to turn left failed to yield for us and hit us head on bouncing off and hitting us again at a high rate of speed. Airbags NEVER deployed

The cable for the hood latch snapped. This is an issue because if the vehicle breaks down at the side of the road or needs a jump start in a lot etc, the hood will not open. This can cause risk of exposure as well as prolonged stay on the shoulder of the road. Mechanic at Autonation reported that he has seen this issue with multiple Jeep Renegades, which is alarming. No lights or indications are made by the vehicle informing owner of the issue.

HOOD OPENS WITHOUT ME OPENING IT. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE PARKWAY BUT IT HAS THE SAFETY SO IT DOESN'T SWING UP. THE SHIFTING SHIFTED SO HARD IT MADE A CLUCKEN NOISE I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WENT. THAT HAPPENED TWICE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 20,000 MILES AND THE TRANS SOUNDS LIKE IT'S STARTING TO GO. I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES.

2017 JEEP RENEGADE WITH REMOVABLE ROOF PANELS. I WAS DRIVING AND THE ROOF PANEL BECAME DETACHED AND FLEW OFF MY JEEP. THE JEEP WAS ON A NORMAL COUNTRY STREET GOING 35-40 MPH. IT SHOT OFF, FLYING BACKWARDS. IT LANDED 50 FEET BEHIND ME, IN A FRONT YARD. IT WAS 5 INCHES STUCK IN THE MUD/YARD OF A HOME. IT WAS JUST THE FRONT PANEL AND NOT THE BACK PANEL. THE BUTTON FOR THE ROOF TO SLIDE NO LONGER WORKS, THE PANEL IS BENT, IT IS CURVED. IT WOULD NOT GO BACK ON AND NO LONGER WORKS THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO OPERATE.
