Anyone experienced this issue with their Renegades?

LOL!! Every time I drive our Renegade after driving ANY OTHER one of our Jeeps, I always feel like I going to fly into the windshield at the first stop sign - the brakes are that much better. However, I don't know if I've ever been in a situation like this before. :crazyeyes:

Eddie , yep crazy stuff! I noticed the strong brakes, but did not slamn down (wanna try it though :)! Reminds me of popping wheelies on an Axial RC :)

looks more like a weight bias issue rather than a problem with the brakes. I wonder how it was loaded during the test?

It was a hydraulic issue in Spain apparently.

"On Spanish the car site km77.com, González recounts his experience with the brakes in an early-build 1.6-liter, front-wheel drive 2015 Jeep Renegade."

"González writes that he reached out to Fiat Group Spain, and he said the division had technicians inspect the vehicle. They were able to find a malfunction with the brake hydraulics that had caused way too much stopping power to be sent to the front, González reported."

"After testing two other Renegades, González apparently couldn’t replicate the epic nosedive so he was satisfied that he had happened to be driving a broken car. Until last month."
