Wish I can get a brand new 392(issues)

[mini2nut]

Your doing exactly what I would do. Take it to another Jeep dealer for diagnosis.

Keep us posted on the new dealership diagnosis.

I was just talking about the 392 in general. That it comes lifted from factory

Weird sound. I would think the backing plate would make a higher pitch if rubbing. Has anyone checked the front axle for proper level of lube? sounds like something is not lubed.

Do you have ANY mods? Lift, wheels, tires, tazer, etc? Anything which did not come factory on the Jeep?

This has been answered a few times in the posts. No, it is a bone stock 392

Ok so I took my 392 to the dealer. It was pulling HARD right. With a squeak in the rear right wheel. Rotational at very low speeds. It’s a 2022 with 1000 miles on it. They started by taking all my wheels off and checking brakes and shaving them to make sure the surface was clean. Was not that. they checked my alignment and the alignment specs are totally fine. Jeep still pulls hard right and has the squeak. They said they now have to call jeep tech support tomorrow morning as they can’t find the issue. I asked them if I should get ready to lawyer up to claim this jeep is a lemon. Any thoughts from you all? 85 k dollar fucking vehicle. With problems after ONE month

Working at a tire shop in my much younger years, all tires have a natural "pull" to them that is not always noticed right away. Have you tried cross rotating the front tires to see if the pull remains or goes the other way? If it goes the other way, you may have a defective tire. Just my 2 cents.

But no, seriously. Do you have any mods or anything? Just want to make sure. Please confirm?

Maybe a bad wheel bearing. If they did indeed do all of what was described in the service paperwork, there is probably nothing wrong with the brakes. However they didn't try to bleed the brakes (in case there is air trapped in the lines).

If it didn't make the sound on the lift and only does it under vehicle load it's another reason to look at the bearings.

Atleast you got to drive it for 2 weeks. Mine is at the dealership since 3+ weeks. Check out my thread in the last post.

No loaner provided to me either, when i insisted last week (after Jeep was with them for 3 weeks), they said they will have a pink wrangler (loaner) that i may pick up on Saturday. I politely said, no thanks

im worried hearing about all these issues on the 392....should i trade this thing in while I can?

 

[garyji]

YES!! Trade it in immediately. You shouldn't be driving a vehicle you don't know how to let the air out of the tires.

I'd give the other dealer a chance first.

Not sure if you'll get a fair price if you trade it. Maybe try the open market or one of the auctions that someone here already suggested. You might be able to make a profit.

Just FYI - I asked the dealer for a quote on the trade-in value where my Jeep is in for warranty repair.
2022, non XR 392, 300 Miles, used for 9-10 days - He quoted me 8.5 K below what I had paid.
Add:
+~4K VA tax
+900 (Ceramic Coating)
+ 3 year extended warranty for a total of 6/60K coverage.

If I were to accept this trade in value for a TRX (which will be marked up by the dealer) I am already losing 15-16K . If i consider the 300 miles i drove it, that's ~$52 per mile + Gas.

I am probably going to keep it, abuse it, then push it down a cliff when it breaks again.

i got a dealer willing to offer me 81k on a trade for a Cadillac cts 4 v blackwing. My loan balance is 86,200k . So a loss of 5,200k
