Mine started doing this a day off the lot. They replaced the pedal assembly and it went away. That was at about 100 miles. Today at 1800 miles it started doing it again. I'm hoping it goes away. If not, pedal assembly #3 is in my future. At least I have @JeepCares and the dealer should provide a loaner vehicle to my understanding.
Hi Cameljoe121 and UCnight,A little update on my issue. As in my case first thing they did was replace the pedal assembly which had no effect. I have had this issue for a year I bought my in March 2018. What was the cause in the creaking clutch was the factory did not lubricate a couple of parts in total I have had it in 9 times for almost a combined time of 30 days. After about the 5th time the second dealership I took it to identified that part of the slave cylinder what causing the creak in the parking lot one of the techs popped it off and applied grease and the sound was gone and did not return since but I had been driving it with no lube for almost 7 months so I believe damage was done to the clutch so there was no noise but the pedal would be rock hard one moment and the next go right to the floor with no pressure it was so light. This made the drive like crap and shift like crap next they dropped the transmission and found the pivot point on the fork was also dry with no lube which they then greased in the dealerships mind all was fixed but the clutch would still drive like crap most of the time the others it would operate and shift flawlessly which made me more pissed because it should be driving that way since I bought it. I took it back the dealer drove it for 4 miles and did nothing else which they claimed the did more trouble shooting but I could see on the unconnect tracking the just went the 4 miles and parked it never taking it in the service bay to do anymore troubleshooting 4 miles wonāt even get the engine warm after I called them out for lying to me they took it personal and refused to find any more issues they arranged a week test drive where a tech was supposed to drive it home and to work for a week which was their idea but they said the tech who could probably kick my ass very easy didnāt feel comfortable driving it home where I could track it and find where he lives. I guess they never heard off google or the internet anyway the service manager drove it for a couple of days for about 10 mins on the highway which to my knowledge the manager was not a mechanic and they refused to acknowledge any issues. The entire time I have been working with Jeep wave on this finally after complaining enough Jeep agreed to replace the clutch components before that happened the service manager said he would gladly replace the clutch if Jeep approved it. So Jeep sent me an email say the dealership refused to replace the clutch because they canāt find the problem even know Jeep was paying for the parts and labor. The dealership wanted me to take it to a 3rd dealer to have them diagnose it and if they found anything they would agree to do the repair but at this point Jeep says they canāt force them to do the repair and I know why they wonāt they are purposefully trying to make it as difficult as they can because I called them out for lying I told Jeep I am not going to keep running around because they are a bunch of little girls for being caught lying. So it looks like the original dealer may do the repair I will know tomorrow. So the purpose of all this long winded post is have them pull the slave cylinder and see if it was lubed or not. If they missed two parts that I know of who knows how many other keeps they missed as well. Iāll post an update as this progresses hopefully this helps somewhat and I wish you good luck.
