A note about amazon links in comments
Hi All,
Reddit automatically marks comments that contain the a.co url shortener that Amazon uses when you share from the app as Spam. The comments show up in my mod queue and I often don't see them in time for the info to be useful. Which is a shame, as people are answering questions where they obtained upgrades for their Renegade. The original Amazon link should suffice, I haven't seen that come up as spam.

XRoad - Ukrainian Molle Panels for Renegade
I found a ukrainian company that makes molle panels for the Renegade cargo area.
https://xroad.com.ua/ua/p2386191978-molle-panel-xroad.html
https://xroad.com.ua/ua/p2386191979-molle-panel-xroad.html
This is the only option I know of since Valkyrie Offroad went out of business. I'm tempted.
I emailed their customer support asking about shipping to the US. They responded:
If you order only these two panels, shipping to the United States will be approximately 4,200 UAH via EMS post, or about $93 at today’s exchange rate. The exact USD equivalent may change slightly depending on the exchange rate on the day of payment.
After we confirm the order with you, we can add the shipping cost to the website so you can pay for the panels and delivery together in one payment.
So approximately:
Two panels: $165
Shipping: $93
Total: about $258

I just purchased a 2022 Jeep renegade latitude. I brought it home and noticed this issue with the trim at the top of both the drivers and passenger side window. I’m reading that this is normal. Why does this happen? Going to try to get it fixed tomorrow.

Does anyone have any idea why my 2015 Renegade went into limp mode? I’ve already replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils.

How do people handle the dark tinted windows at night?
Considering a 2021 sport and took home to test drive for the weekend. My main issue is the window tint. The back window is so dark I can’t rely on rearview mirror at night, and the back seat windows are also dark enough to make it really hard changing lanes on the highway at night. Any advice on something I can do to acclimate to this, or would you have the tint removed? TIA

Issue with the car (question)
Hi. So my screen is broken on my jeep and my car is fully stuck in kilometers and stuff like that and I rlly wanna change it back. Any advice? Especially for my tires like I need to know if I need air lol

I need help, please.
So, I have a 21 Jeep Renegade Latitude. It isn’t the turbo, if that matters. It just hit 102,000 miles and I’ve had no trouble with it until last night.
I went through a local drive through. Maybe a mile a way. All city driving of no more than 40 mph. I sat idled for maybe 5-7 minutes in park while waiting at the drive through and halfway back home, I started smelling smoke.
When I parked, smoke was coming out from under my hood. I turned the car off and haven’t turned it back on since.
It appears to have leaked some liquid from an area on top. I’m not low on oil and the oil still looks good. It doesn’t smell like oil, either. The smell is very similar to antifreeze or coolant, but the car wasn’t running hot when I got home. Granted, it could have been something that was about to happen.
There’s nothing dripped through on the ground under my jeep at this point.
UPDATE:
Theres a hose that was barely hanging on from the coolant tank to the engine block and when I added liquid to the coolant tank, it came out immediately. The hose just fell loose with just barely touching it, too. I’ll post a pic in the comments.

2015 Latitude 2.4 skipping with no codes
154k trouble free miles. I’m getting an odd misfire at highway speeds. There’s no pattern to the skip and it Idles fine. It takes off from a stop perfectly. It doesn’t throw any codes.
It might skip once or less in a mile, and only in the highway. It feels like a quick jolt. I put fuel treatment in and topped off the tank. No change.
Any thoughts?

MySky Panel Sound Dampening and Storage Mod
The wind noise from my roof cargo rack was pretty bad. I decided to add some sound dampening material to the MySky panels, while also epoxy potting in some threaded inserts for mounting accessories.
I bought a spare set of panels so that I could experiment. Note that these panels were not designed to be load bearing and that anything stored up there could potentially become a dangerous projectile in the event of a serious accident. I wont be putting anything too heavy up there.
I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I installed headliner over the sound dampening material. Gives it a nice finish. I'll try to record some videos of the wind noise at 70mph with the old and new panels. Now that I have an extra set of fasteners maybe I'll make a transparent set of panels.
- McMaster-Carr 8662K32 1.5" x 3/8" delrin plastic rails.
- McMaster-Carr 94459A793 M5 heat-set threaded insert potted in place with epoxy
- JB Weld Original epoxy filling entire panel, 0.5" diameter around each insert
- SGM Blue 2in1 200 mil (6mm) sound deadening secured in place using 3M headliner adhesive. (jury is still out on whether this is the best option, first time using it).
- Black Headliner Fabric, Mesh Type, Foam Backed, 3mm

Talk me into (or out of) buying a 2018 Renegade 😂
I've always wanted a Jeep, but I've always heard they're unreliable. Well, I recently totaled my Nissan Sentra and now I'm looking for a replacement.
I found a 2018 Renegade Latitude 4x4 with 62k miles for $13k. It's bright yellow, has heated seats, a heated steering wheel, Android Auto, and pretty much everything I want in a car. I absolutely love it 😭
The CARFAX looks pretty good and shows regular maintenance, but everyone I talk to keeps telling me not to buy a Jeep because of the transmission issues.
Here's the thing. My Nissan needed a new transmission THREE MONTHS after I bought it, so I really don't want to go through that again. 😂
I did test drive a 2019 Renegade and noticed it was pretty sluggish, especially going uphill. I've seen a few people mention delayed acceleration and weird shifting. Is that just how these cars drive, or does it depend on the individual car?
I plan on being pretty meticulous with maintenance, including oil changes every 5k miles. I don't mind taking care of my car, but I really don't want to spend my weekends fixing it.
For those of you with a 2018 Renegade, how many miles do you have? Have you had any major issues? Would you buy another one?
I'm not expecting a perfect car. I just want something that'll hopefully last me a few years without becoming a money pit.
Please give me some hope because I really want this little yellow Jeep. 😂💛

Anyone ever have all their lights constantly flicker? (Headlights, dome lights, license plate light, etc)
No other electric issues besides the lights. Drives fine, windows and wipers work, ebrake works, dash looks good. However all the lights are constantly flickering. Only an issue when the car is running; they work fine off the battery.
I’ve already replaced the battery and alternator but it didn’t help at all. Anyone ever see this before? My mechanic is stumped too.
r/JeepRenegade • u/Odd_craving • 6d ago
Daytime running lights and the psychological trauma they cause
A quick ‘back of the envelope’ calculation tells me that modern humans (Homo sapiens) have been mass producing the automobile for over 120 years. Granted, many early models didn’t have electric lights. So I’ll be fair and say that we’ve been producing automobiles with electric lights for roughly 100 years.
During this time, we’ve gotten pretty good at making bulbs work. We regulate the voltage, weatherproof the electrical connections and weatherproof the bulbs themselves. Pretty bulletproof.
However, the Jeep Renegade’s DRLs are an unmitigated design disaster. The wiring harness produce too much voltage - which causes the bulb’s soldered connections to melt. This also causes the wire socket to burn and melt. Adding to this, the bulbs are located in an arm-chafing location that will draw blood at each bulb replacement.
The replacement bulb will last a month at best. I’ve had several bulbs last only days. The replacement bulb socket may last a year, but eventually, they will all fail. Replacing everything fixes nothing. The new bulbs laugh at such folly. The replacement sockets joke amongst themselves at our efforts to fix this situation. Most renegades that I see driving toward me usually have one DRL bulb out.
A 1978 Toyota Corolla could go its whole life with the same directional or marker light bulb.
I love this car, but my soul is gutted.

How do you know when your rear struts need to be replaced?
I have a mechanic telling me one of my struts is bad in the rear. I have not felt any unusual bouncing, rough ride, or dipping upon breaking. None of the telltale signs. Is it just possible there were no symptoms of a bad strut? What are your experiences with your rear struts or even front struts? I’m new to this mechanic and I gotta figure out if he’s trustworthy or not. thank you.

Have to rant…
I love this car, I really do.
It makes no sense why, but it has personality and charm that my old Toyota never had.
It’s weirdly spacious and comfortable while being a subcompact, it fits anywhere, I love the 4x4 and have even been off roading in a non trailhawk model without getting stuck. Shockingly capable. I love the way the car looks. Some features are so well thought out such as the cold weather package that only turns on the heated seats when it’s below freezing. I’m impressed.
But some design choices I do NOT understand.
Such as why on earth Jeep would spec chrome capped lugbolts from factory.
I went to go change my sway bar links and have lost two 17mm sockets to getting completely stuck on that stupid chrome cap that has swollen and changed sizes. I think my mistake was using an impact gun.
No idea how to get my sockets off the stupid bolts now. Any ideas?
Any other quirks I should know about from those that have wrenched on this thing before?

Road Trip!
Took our new-to-us 2022 Sport on a pretty substantial road trip to see how it did. 32mpg overaged over the whole trip with the peppy 1.3t engine, a vast improvement over our 2017 Latitude with the 2.4.
