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.
By the love of all that is holy, in whatever you believe in, if you are reading this - AVOID THIS CAR LIKE A PLAGUE! So among ALL the problems this car has this is just one of them.
Not exactly sure what causes this problem, but I've noticed after extended use during a road trip that the Bluetooth connection on the radio just stops working to play music. It will show the device connected and take phone calls but refuses to play music. I could see the music playing on my phone but the radio will not play it. I turned the radio on and off and on again - still a problem. I turned off the car and left the vehicle to get back in and reconnect and the problem still continues. The only thing I found that helps is to "reset" the radio by unplugging the battery and replugging it back its like giving it a hard reset.
I have had so many issues with the Uconnect system, ever since purchasing the vehicle. At least twice a week, it will not allow me to control the volume or change the radio station. If I have my phone or Ipod on Bluetooth, it will tell me there are no Bluetooth media devices available. If I plug one of them in through the USB ports, it will play them for half of a song, then turn off and say to plug a media device in.
The UConnect System which is the radio, phone, back up, navigation was not working. It would not even turn on or off - just a blank screen. The compass on the dashboard display would not work either. (The software was already updated from the previous recall in September.) Turned car off and on a few times and it still would not come on. Came back on later in the day. This happened on 11/7/15. No other issues until 11/11/15 and it happened again. Dealership appointment has been made.
