I have a 08 Renegade with over 6000KM on it with now problems, and a 09 Rengade with over 2500 miles on it now with
no problems either, but just ordered the new tapered wheel bearings and got lots of spare parts from Joyner before they closed the doors.
I must have one of the 'originals', purchased January, 2008 from the factory in Tempe. I have just over 2600 km, all basically trouble-free! Replaced wheel bearing (loose lugnuts), upgraded driveshaft to CV's last week, Turbo installed August, 2009. Always carry a full load (me, wife, dog) and can go anywhere.........mostly desert trails and sand dune riding.
Knock on wood.....
