Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The cable for the hood latch snapped. This is an issue because if the vehicle breaks down at the side of the road or needs a jump start in a lot etc, the hood will not open. This can cause risk of exposure as well as prolonged stay on the shoulder of the road. Mechanic at Autonation reported that he has seen this issue with multiple Jeep Renegades, which is alarming. No lights or indications are made by the vehicle informing owner of the issue.
THE MYSKY FEATURE ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ALONG WITH OTHERS VEHICLE HAS BROKE AND NOT WORKING. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR ALOT OF US IS THE BRACKETS THAT SLIDE THE ROOF OPEN AND CLOSE ARE BREAKING VERY EASILY. THERE ARE MANY JEEP RENEGADE USERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO SAID THE SAME THAT THEY FIX ALOT OF THESE ISSUES AND ARE NOT COVERED. THIS CAN ALSO BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS AN ESCAPE FROM A VEHICLE IF THE DOORS BECOME UNABLE TO OPEN.
2017 JEEP RENEGADE WITH REMOVABLE ROOF PANELS. I WAS DRIVING AND THE ROOF PANEL BECAME DETACHED AND FLEW OFF MY JEEP. THE JEEP WAS ON A NORMAL COUNTRY STREET GOING 35-40 MPH. IT SHOT OFF, FLYING BACKWARDS. IT LANDED 50 FEET BEHIND ME, IN A FRONT YARD. IT WAS 5 INCHES STUCK IN THE MUD/YARD OF A HOME. IT WAS JUST THE FRONT PANEL AND NOT THE BACK PANEL. THE BUTTON FOR THE ROOF TO SLIDE NO LONGER WORKS, THE PANEL IS BENT, IT IS CURVED. IT WOULD NOT GO BACK ON AND NO LONGER WORKS THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO OPERATE.
