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.
renegade vibrates through gas pedal and has a grrrring sound between 29-34 mph while in a non-cruise mode/cruise mode and letting gas pedal disengage slowing down; dealership states is because of the high gearing in the trailhawks but not going to drive it like this for the life of the loan
Update from Aug 20, 2016: as i mentioned in previous posts; my renegade goes back in this wed to once again deal with the grring/vibrating sounds; this is what the service dept stated on the 1st attempt weeks ago.
customer: driving between 30 to 34 mph customer heres grinding and vibration through gas pedal.
dealer: couldnt duplicate abnormal vibration at this time. only think noticed is when cruising at this speed vehicle is usually in higher gear which lugs the engine and causes different driveline tones.
