Jeep Gladiator Catalytic Rattle? IMG_8738



This is Rattling when it warms up. Is this my cat? What is the best fix. I have an appointment with the dealer on April 4th they will look at it. I think they should replace it under warranty.
Thanks for everyones resonse.

I don't have a rattle necessarily but from a stop with light acceleration right at around 4ish mph there's a vibration for a moment that sounds like it's the exhaust. Just noticed a couple days ago. Not sure if it's normal or not

Perhaps it is a heat shield that's rattling vs the cat?

The heat shield is wrapped tightly around it. So it’s not the heat shield.

It sounds like it could be some of the "stuffing" has broken loose, which would be a warranty replacement. I wouldn't toss out the possibility of it being the heat shield though, even if it is tightly wrapped it just takes one little piece to make a heck of a racket.

I get the same thing-- in the garage right after I've started and put in reverse, not as much in P... haven't had the dealership check it out yet, but I'm going to.
