I have a 2023 gas job Glad. During the winter after start up and a warm up. I get a little clunk sound from the trans as I put it in drive or reverse. I figure because itwas cold out. Today it was warm out ,no clunk after start up. But after I washed the truck and dried it , I started it up and had the clunk. I notice ifI'm at 700 or 600 rpm, no noise. Once warm the truck shifts real smooth . Truck has 7500 k for one year of driving. Thanks all.

I experience something similar. Hasn't bugged me enough to crawl under and to see if it’s u-joints, diff or what.

I'm getting the oil changed in June before I do my 2 month stay at the beach. I'll get it checked then and have the front end tightend up again before I leave. Other than that , no problems with it.

Most do it. Mine did from first week. Drive your JT with ear plugs on, they sound much better that way.

It will continually get worse. Is not normal.
Luckily you have a long time left on your powertrain warranty. As soon as as you get an error code get it to the dealer. D clutch is bad. They are now rebuilding these and not replacing. This is the latest TSB.

I like Jeeps, but I'm really glad I leased this one. Warranty runs out , I'm turning it in at end of lease. Problem is if you bring it to the dealer to get them repaired under warranty, your still with out a truck till they get the parts to fix it. I'll make an apointment when I get back from tge beach next weekend. I have to get the clicking noise tightened up again in the front end, and have them check the trans and universal joints. Nice trucks but built like crap. Well what do you want Fiat owns Jeep. Lol. The trans runs perfect except for the occasional clunk.
