CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Jeep Renegade has a very large volume of complaints for such a new model, especially compared to other SUVs in the same class.
Most Jeep Renegade complaints are for various problems with interior accessories & electrical systems, as well as squealing brakes, transmission (rough shifting) and engine problems.
Problem 3 of 12: About 5-6 months after purchase, the passenger side fog light went out. I asked the local quickie lube place to replace the bulb. They informed me that the whole front bumper has to be removed in order to do so, and that I should check with the dealership. I called the dealership, and they informed me that this is a maintenance item and is not covered on any warranty. I was puzzled, but I don’t really NEED fog lights, so why lose more work-time over it.
Problem 5 of 12: now 8-9 months after purchase, the driver’s side fog light went out too. Why even bother calling? Nothing is really covered under their "lifetime warranty".
We were looking to replace the fog light bulbs and when my husband was trying to put the new bulb in it wouldn't fit. I looked through the front cover of the fog light and could see that the housing was melted. Took the car to the dealer and they replaced the housing.
I know it's not a major thing but since I've only had the car two months (11/5/15) I was surprised. I was embarrassed too when it was pointed out to me. And, this is 1 of 3 complaints that I have concerning the car.
