My Latitude is doing the same thing, been to the dealer 3 times and they don't know what it is. They flashed the computer, and did acknowledge they heard and felt it. It's more of a rumbling noise than anything. I can make it stop by putting it in "manual" mode.

The post made by Tony above is in reference to my Jeep. After 3 dealership trips, they are still at a loss as to what is causing the rumbling noise when I let off the gas or coast between 20-40mph.

It sounds like someone downshifted one too many and it almost resembles that rumbling sound. I've tried forcing the 4wd lock on when it makes the noise, I've pushed it into the "manual" mode as well as turning the traction control button off. All of these make the noise stop immediately but it just comes back the next day.

If anyone has any updates that would be fantastic. Chrysler/Jeep is now filing this away as normal.

Ask your dealer to give you a letter saying it is normal. If they wont do it ask why not.

Thank you, I will ask for the letter stating this. If they can prove this is not causing any damage, I'm willing to ignore it. I leased the vehicle so hopefully time is on my side.

If you are complaining about a noise, you might want to post an example.

The driveline in the renegade is not super quiet. There's a difference between not liking something and it being broken.

Without an example, we can't tell if you are complaining about something actually wrong, or just about the way the car is.

If the car isn't actually broken, good luck with the lemon law attempt. There are usually requirements to be met regarding the nature of an issue. Simply not liking the way the vehicle sounds probably doesn't make the cut.

The rumbling noise is heard and felt throughout the Jeep. It happens when you let off the gas or when coasting at the 20-40mph range. It sounds like a manual transmission that downshifted one gear too many. I have the automatic transmission but it allows me to put it into the "manual" mode and when I do that, it stops for a little while.


Jeep called me today and said that after 3 times taking it in, they have no idea what is causing it, and nothing looks damaged. They flashed the computer on the 2nd visit and it helped for about 4 days.


Not sure how to go forward with the issue at the moment.

Why did he post for you?

He's my husband and was trying to help me find answers.
