Hi there new Jeep owner here. I’m have a used 2016 renegade latitude with the 2.4 engine with 28,000 and there is this sound that I here from t he inside cab. It gets a little louder when I accelerate over 40 mph. I’m new to having a truck or suv type car. I came from a Honda Fit. So this sound is new. I attached a clip below. Any help would be great.

What I heard in the video sounds as if it could be a tire problem. If you shift the transmission into manual, does the noise stop?

I have the same loud noise but my 2016 latitude has a vibration with it and my car is 31,000 miles.

I don’t want to promote driving and recording video, but can you take a few more videos for us?

1. During acceleration from a stop.
2. Decelerating without brakes.
3. Decelerating with brakes.

I’m wondering if it could be a wheel bearing. Or perhaps the brakes are grinding if you have no pad material and your wear indicators either failed or you simply didn’t notice. Have you checked your pads?

This is what you don’t want to see 😂 ...

You can see the the 4 little tabs (wear indicators) failed (they should be extended past the metal backing for the pads, but they aren’t). And you can see the right side pad is completely gone and left side pad is all chewed up. I had grinding noise just like yours with this situation.

This was shortly after purchasing a used Camry with 40,000 miles.

Hey there,
I just replaced the pads and rotors( I think I spelled it right, lmao) also I just noticed that the tires aren’t the same brand- drive front and rear passenger are the same as in vs with the other side.

But I’ll go to the school parking lot to get the videos

That’s strange. Sounds like @rsanges might be correct on the tires.

I can assure you it’s a tire issue. I also got two different tire brands (Goodyear on right, Dunlop on left) and I have this same exact noise. Only happened after the different tires were put on. I assume it’s something with the different frequencies of the treads on the road between the tires, something like those “music roads.” It’s either all that or somethings wonky with a single tire.

Omg thank you for wasting my fears I really love my Jeep and different want it to be anything forget than tires. Do you recommend a brand?

The Goodyear ones are nice quality and affordable. The Dunlop ones are from Walmart and are basically the cheapest tire you can get that’s “safe.” I got them from flat replacements where I felt like being a cheapskate. Looking back I’d rather go with Goodyear.

To me it sounds like a wonky tire. That's the technical term. ;)

When I got my Latitude, used, it had Kelly's on the front, Dunlop's on the rear. Yes, the tires were in great shape and had many miles left on them, but the anal retentive part of me couldn't handle seeing the different tread patterns. So it got 4 new shoes and 4 wheel alignment. My Latitude was never noisy, but the new shoes made it much quieter. Are your present tires wearing uneven/odd ?

BUT, it could be a bad hub. If your tires are close to worn out, I'd replace them first, because you'll have to anyways. If you do and the hub is shot (pricey job), well at least you have new tires.
