So my '23 JLU 2.0L makes what sounds like a cyclic clunk when applying gas at or below 20 MPH.

If it does it at faster speeds I can't hear it. I live in rural Ohio so I get a good 10 minutes of 20-30 on a quite town road. The second I take my foot off the gas it stops. The sound is clearly not in time with the rotation, but it is timed. I want to say more often when cold, but don't quote me.

I took it in to the dealer a year ago, they kept it 3 days, even called Chrysler (Stellantis) who said the sound is normal. I found that suspicious, but not much I could do.

The Jeep drives great, accelerates fine, gets good mpg, so nothing "seems" wrong. No warning lights. I've sort of gotten used to it, but not enough to ignore it.

Thoughts, ideas?

Maybe post some recordings of the sound to reduce speculation

Automatic or manual?
Automatic. I plan to get an audio, but Friday I hit a brick wall (flu?) and have been down since then.
