Anyone else's 3 wk old 2015 Unlimited Willy's have a really annoying squeaking sound?
Had it 3 weeks not and last week I noticed there was a slight squeaking sound happening ever so often while driving... I assumed it was the soft top rig, so shrugged it off - it's a jeep, there's going to be noises... but after removing the top completely this weekend and still having it making the sound and the fact that it's frequency has increased to almost all the time now if you are going above 30mph - I have had enough...
Any thoughts? something I might be able to take care of without loosing a day or two at the dealership?
Thanks on advance guys...

I just posted about this exact same issue. I just picked up my 2015 JKUR last night and it's making the same noise you're describing. My happens between 30-40 MPH. Let me know what the dealer says to you if you end up taking it in.

My '15 JKU makes all kinds of cool noises. The first time I took it off road it make some metallic clicking and grinding noises. I narrowed it down and removed the rear brake caliper and rotor as soon as I got off the trail to discover a random nut floating around inside. It doesn't go to anything, was just in there floating around. I get a noise like the one you describe as well, mine happens earlier though, around 10 mph and either stops or gets too high in frequency to hear once you hit 20 or 30 mph. It is worse when starting off going up hill. Next time I have a chance to get to the dealership I'm going to point it out to them.

For what it's worth, I had the same sound on my 07 JK sport. It ended up being a small rock being stuck behind one of the rear rotors. Eventually I started to hear the sound when applying the brakes as well, which is what helped me know where to look.
