anyone ever had to replace one of the window control buttons in the door handle? if so, where did you find it and how easy was it to replace?

The motor mounts on my 2017 Deserthawk were bad, so I replace them with the Anchor mounts I've seen folks use - part number 300377

However, I'm still getting a clunking sound when I shift from Park to Drive or Park to Reverse and sometimes even when driving at low speeds. For example, if I'm in traffic doing 15mph, let off the throttle to coast for a second or two, then apply the throttle again quickly, I get a clunk.

I'm wondering if the lower torque strut is making contact where I've circled in green.

If the rubber is too soft, then it could be allowing the center portion of the shaft (where the bolt passes through) to make contact with the inside of the mount frame as the engine moves front and back. Just a theory, but it seems possible.

I recorded the movement: https://youtu.be/Ne-zHDB0Oq8

As I said, I noticed the movement when I was replacing my axles, so the first part of the video is when the front end is still raised and the wheels are off the ground. Then I lowered the vehicle back to the ground and tried it again. Then I had my partner sit inside, apply the brake, put the vehicle in gear, and give it some gas.

So, are these Anchor mounts just garbage? Or is this amount of movement normal?

I don’t have a jeep but I read on google that the 2017 fiat 500x (my car) and jeep renegades are closely alike? So would it be bad to put ducks in my dash or would I get hate for it

I'm on a continued quest to figure out why my '17 2.4l feels so terribly slow and sluggish. I know that the transmission is just super slow in general. I'm starting to wonder, though, if the car shouldn't actually be picking such low RPMs to spend most of its time in. We're talking low 1k's, like 1200 staying under 2000 even when I'm pressing the gas trying to get it to downshift. I have to press the pedal really far to get the transmission to respond.

Never any codes or anything to diagnose. But sometimes I have the feeling that it's struggling to take in enough air. The engine air filter is new.

Any ideas where I could go with this? I'm getting pretty frustrated.

Hey everyone! I have 2021 latitude! Wanted to see if these suvs still last after 100,000 miles?

I purchased my 2022 Renegade Limited yesterday, and so far i love it. Unfortunately I’ve encountered one issue. The driver side rear brake light seems to go in and out, so far it’s happened twice. It will go out while driving, the turn signal and brake light alerts come on, as well as the forward collision alert. The light seems to come back on after a reset. I have a week to exchange and/or get it checked out, however their in network repair shops charge a $100 deductible for their diagnostic. I ordered some replacement bulbs, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions before I take it to the shop.

A few months ago my battery light turned on, on the car's dashboard and my voltage slowly started dropping from 14v to as low as 10v upon starting & it would fluctuate. I've had the battery, alternator, & starter tested 3 times from 3 different places and one mechanic suspected it was the alternator.

Well instead of shelling out that $500 right away I took a closer look myself and cleaned the corrosion off of my battery posts, and after that the voltage went back up and the battery light turned off.

The car was fine from May up until now and the battery light is back on. I've also noticed the ground terminal is very rusted but I've had the battery & alternator re-tested at O'Reilly's and everything came back as good once again.

Does this sound like a connection issue? Should I just get new battery terminals or does this sound like an alternator issue to any of you? I'm scratching my head with what to do.

Hello I’m new to the group and to jeeps! I just got my first jeep and it’s been dying if it sits even for an hour . I’ve had it for 2 weeks and it was fine and then it just wouldn’t start without a jump. The battery and alternator were read and are in good condition (battery is new too). Ive called around to shops local to me and it’s a month or longer wait to even get it checked out. Unsure what the problem could be, any suggestions? Tyia!

Just bought a used 2023 Renegade. There's nothing that covers the trunk space to shield it from prying eyes. Trying to find a cargo cover that'll fit. Can anyone point me to something they use?

I have a 2016 Jeep renegade. I just got in like most people know it has like a funnel shaped style leading to the ignition button so I had a Batman cover the kind that you twist and it opens up and of course it wouldn’t fit right but

I got some tape And kept wrapping it around the inside of the cover until it was pretty thick that way it was high enough to reach the plastic and it’s stuck I think I might replace it with gorilla glue brand but other than that it holds fine.
