Does anyone have this? My brand new 111km Jeep Wrangler is squeaking! Sometimes it squeaks alot, sometimes it squeaks little. I drove it around tonight after putting on my JeepsCanada.com decals and it squeaked low creeak.. then when i parked it it got feint and higher pitched eeeek.. Kinda weird.. Like rubbing rubber together or a dead hinge on a door creaks when you open it.

I've seen this on a few other forums happening to brand new, dunno if this is normal or if this is a wear in issue or what it is. Anyone else got this?

Nobody has this issue? I think it might be coming from the joint. Im not sure, i heard wd40 only works temporarily. Im not really sure

Seriously? I my clutch gets squeaky right after warm up, after about an hour or so of driving it goes away so Im thinking it's caused by shrinkage and expandage.

Zac,

I'm not sure what it could be. I know you said after warm up but is it only from cold or does continue after extended driving? Given that it's only got 111kms, I can only assume it needs to break in a bit but I still find it odd.
Have you brought it to the service manager's attention yet?
Let me know.

I havnt said anything yet, its not a huge deal just a little annoying. When i first get in its fine. But when i turn on the heat for the feet and defrost setting itll start squeaking a bit after. After extended driving it stops. If i dont turn on the heat it dosnt happen. It very odd.. im assuming it wont happen during the summer. Something is being effected by the temperature difference.

Right now it has over 500kms on it now, when we drove upto Midland on the weekend it didn't squeak the whole way up. Like i said, from a cold start only, and a few minutes after turning on the heat it squeeaks for a while.

Either way, let me know what transpires via PM.
If need be we will investigate but I suggest letting your dealer know and check it out while we still have cold temps in order to reproduce the issue. If not we would have to wait till next fall/winter.

I guess, but I don't really want to bring it in and they say well.. it could be.. and rap off a whole list of stuff it's obveiously not. I've read alot of people bringing in there trucks and they replaced entire slave and master cylinders in the clutch system and getting nothing out of it. And i can't really live without my truck, i gotta goto work!

I could always post a video on youtube and send you the link so you can hear it. You can't hear it outside of the vehicle, so it's not super bad, but I will put a video together tonight and post it so you can see it tomorrow for sure. Windsor is kinda far for me to drive out to hehe :-)

I have create the squeaky clutch video! Enjoy!

(511kms on the vehicle, it did this before i even started it from cold. I didn't drive it, just checked it and filmed it)


It's weird, but it's squeaks
