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.
Purchased my new 2016 Renegade and immediately noticed that the steering felt very light and loose with not much feedback. I thought that maybe I just wasn't used to it yet so I drove it a couple more days and it just felt really uncomfortable like the steering needed an adjustment to tighten it up some so that you could feel some actual feedback. I've since driven another 2016 Renegade and the steering was fine on it leading me to believe that that may just be an issue with certain Renegades sold. Hopefully this will get addressed later with an update /TSB.
