Got my Wrangler JL Sahara new in 2018. Less than a year in started hearing popping from the rear when accelerating from a stop and more so when turning from a stop.
Reported every time I took it in for a routine service appointment. Kept getting the “we cannot reproduce the fault” line.
Finally, just under 36000 miles and two years after first hearing the popping, they took me seriously, drained some fluid from the differential and found metal debris.
Removed the cover and found more metal and the fluid was like thick black mud.
Replaced the Rear Axle Assembly, covered by warranty.
New Rear Axle Assembly, that has less than 100 miles on it, does not pop but is making a sound like metal rubbing together that gets faster with speed, also mostly when accelerating and turning from a stop.
Its back at the dealership where they are pulling the Rear Axle Assembly again!
