CarComplaints.com Notes: Be warned the previous model year (2015) Jeep Renegade has a large number of complaints reported by owners. Time will tell whether the 2016 Renegade has the same issues.
Premature rotor wear, a rotor should never have deep grooves at 30,000-40,000 miles unless a foreign object has been wedged between the pad and rotor. My truck had less rotor wear at 145,000 miles. This is unacceptable, and shows there is a defect in the manufacturing of these brake pads and rotors.
Had to take Jeep in because its brakes felt like they were catching. First day dealership returned vehicle and said nothing wrong with brakes. Left and went to eat when my husband looked at front brakes and saw multiple DEEP groves in rotors. Returned it same day. They inspected brakes again to find deep groves in rotor and that rotors were below spec to turn and had to replace rotors and pads on front.
