I can't say my "rattle" would have forced me to loose money and trade it in. If anything that dealer would be replacing everything possible. I have always had GREAT experiences at Feeny Jeep in Elgin, IL. On my third jeep from them!!

More so, it was the fact that my 2 month old Jeep got violated and already had paint work done. I have a bit of a problem with that. It would have just bothered me over the course of the life that I owned the Jeep. Hard to explain since it's probably just some form of OCD, but either way, I'm pretty darn happy with my little CUV and will return to the Jeep world in the form of a TJ once I'm back from a deployment.

I had a squeak and weird rattlely noise yesterday while wheeling. I'm going to under and check all bolts. I wasn't there until recently.

I even switch to 4 high on the fly and it still does it. I should be heading to the dealer soon since I haven't had an oil change yet but my light hasn't come on yet. Thanks for any help.
Good luck man. Mine is making simliar sound and is worse depending on drive to sit time, started 10k miles and has gotten worse. in dealer now as of today 6 times, they cant figure out what is wrong with it. Chrysler requested i take to new tech this time around, stated if new not fixed they will see what they can do for me. Please let me know if you get yours identified, sounds exactly like what i have.
