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.
slow for left or right turns; 5-10 miles per hour, the traction control light illuminates and there is a total loss of engine power. road conditions were dry, pavement was smooth, no sand, etc. Has happened several times, mostly with left turns, but just happened twice taking right turns. will also occur when at a complete stop, such as a stop sign, then start a normal turn. feel this is very dangerous because of the loss of ability to accelerate through an intersection, etc. have read numerous postings on this issue, but no one has a fix. dealership gives you the old "can't recreate" line. someone is going to be injured!!!!
