Hi! I'm Rae and I am the proud mother of dragons...

Wait, wrong forum. I'm the new owner to a 2015 Jeep Renegade Lat in Omaha Orange. It matches my hair, her name is Ginger, and we're best friends. What we share is special. Checking in from Cameron, NC which is a about 10 minutes north of Ft. Bragg.

Meet Ginger.

Welcome fellow North Carolinian! I also own an orange latitude, and I'm in Durham NC. I need to find a good name for mine, LOL. Did you get the 2.4L or 1.4L engine?

 

[Raepunzel]

I have the 2.4, which admittedly, is causing me some concern with the rough idling and general noise.

Welcome from Raleigh! Great color! I've never been a vehicle-namer, but apparently my 5-year-old daughter is, so my Omaha Orange Latitude is "Jolly Jeep".

Mine has the 1.4 which makes a constant ticking noise but that is normal. Mine does not idle rough though. Also, the 1.4L is only available with a manual transmission, so if you want/need an automatic then you are forced to go with the 2.4L engine.

Right, there were plenty 1.4s but ultimately, we wanted automatic. My stick skills suck.

Since the ticking on idle is mostly valve noise, and both the 1.4 and 2.4 have MultiAir valvetrains, I would expect them both to sound similarly diesel-ish. It's a very efficient and advanced valvetrain, but it is not a quiet one.
