I have EXACTLY what you’re describing. Do you have a turbo by chance?Hey all.. I haven't seen this discussed yet and was hoping just to get a few opinions. When I leave the house for work in the morning, my Jeep is parked in the garage. Every morning, I put my foot on the brake, start the car and then shift into drive .. when shifting into drive, it makes a pretty loud thump when it goes into gear and the Jeep jumps forward a bit. Is this normal for everyone else? Just seems a little excessive.
This is my 4th Jeep and I haven't had this before quite this bad.
Edit: 4k miles on my Jeep now, it has made this thump consistently since day 1.
I don’t get it all the time like you and I noticed it doesn’t happen if I really focus on pushing the brake pedal harder. I think it might be the punchiness of the engine compared to my Jk that never did this.
Same as one other reply I noticed if I slow down and really make sure the brake pedal is pressed it doesn’t happen at all. If I rush and the brake pedal maybe isn’t pressed hard enough I get this thud.
