    I have a 2015 trailhawk. I have had nothing but issues with this POS. I have had it to multiple dealers multiple times and have had no luck fixing my issues. I have terrible knocking sound in front end, sounds like sway bar bushings or motor mounts, check engine light is always on for some new reason, my 4wd now doesn't work which if you guys are right, is because my check engine light is on, the transmission has no idea what gear it should be in and feels like a neutral drop half the time, the rear knocks when backing out or driving over uneven pavement, is has stalled on me while coming off idle and driving slow in traffic, the xm radio decides not to work sometimes and when it does, it has poor reception compared to my other vehicles, uconnect is a joke and if i am on the bluetooth and switch to my phone and shut the car off, as soon as I hang up the car radio goes on, and i'm sure more that I can't even think about right now. This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned some piles of $hit. If you are reading this and thinking of buying a renegade, STAY AWAY!

    Dang, that’s unfortunate to read. There’s always a bad one in the bunch..did the problems start from day one?

    No. I would say after about a year of ownership and 20k miles. Although the trans has been terrible from the beginning. The dealership did a software update about 6 months into owning it and it helped the transmission shift points a good amount but it still feels clunky, doesn't know where it should be and very unresponsive unless your lucky enough to be in a sweet spot.
