I took my Renegade in to Friendship Jeep here in Bristol, TN today and they checked into the annoying vibration. They updated the software and also determined that the rear differential was not in the best shape so they're going to replace the rear diff...and the best thing is that all of this is covered under their LIFETIME powertrain warranty. That covers the engine, transmission, etc. They had to order the parts so it's going to be 2-3 weeks. On the way home the vibration was noticeably less than it was, so the software update helped a lot. The service department at Friendship did a great job for me today. I highly recommend Friendship Jeep!I contacted my local Jeep dealership and set up an appointment to have the technicians look at my Renegade. Hopefully they'll be able to update the firmware and help correct the problem. They're going to look at it on Friday.
Well...I got a call from the Friendship Jeep dealership today and I had to bring my Renegade in so a Jeep technician could inspect the vehicle to make sure that the issue with the differential would not cause further damage to the drivetrain. They told me that he would be at the dealership within 24 to 48 hours and if the vehicle wasn't there to be inspected they could void the warranty. Hopefully they'll just say I can drive and it won't cause further damage...but with the way my day went today, I don't totally expect that to happen. I did get a loaner vehicle, Chrysler 200C, but it's not my Renegade.I took my Renegade in to Friendship Jeep here in Bristol, TN today and they checked into the annoying vibration.

Well...The technician finally showed up late in the afternoon on Thursday. Today I got a call from the Jeep dealership and the warranty company has approved of the replacement of the rear differential and anything else that might need to be replaced. The parts should be here sometime early next week. Hopefully that will fix my Renegade!Well...I got a call from the Friendship Jeep dealership today and I had to bring my Renegade in so a Jeep technician could inspect the vehicle to make sure that the issue with the differential would not cause further damage to the drivetrain.
