On occasion when I decelerate my2014 CRD with my foot of the throttle I can hear a whistling sound. It appears to be coming from the front end and stops as soon as I put my foot back on the throttle. Only happens randomly hence is difficult to duplicate for the service manger. Should I be worried?......
Haven't noticed a decrease in power but you have to consider I traded a Nissan patrol with the 2.8L motor for the jeep.....way more powerful than the patrol
I should have said, rather than down on power, does the car feel lazy ?
It felt like the boost would not come on as strong as it did before, it felt like a flatspot or turbo lag.
Had car at the dealers yesterday...whistle was an issue with power steering....a new part???? has been ordered...issue probably related to the fact that I drove the car for about 200kms after pick up with only a drop of power steering fluid...they missed this during the pre-delivery check as the power steering fluid container was all but empty when I checked it the next day
I have the same noise as matt. I have written about it on this forum on a couple of occasions and found that several others are experiencing it. I really don't think that it's got anything to do with the power steering (but I'd be really interested to hear from Dreamer if this "new part" fixes it). My power steering reservoir has never been empty/low.
I have told my dealer about the whistle on 2 different occasions and even took them for a test drive and reproduced the sound. they tried to say that it was my roof racks, which is complete rubbish as I had only just fitted the racks and the whistle has been there since the day I go the vehicle. They didn't want to know anything further about it.
I really think that it's a drive train issue - maybe a prop shaft - as the whistle sounds to my like it's originating from the drivers side front wheel area.
The good news is that it doesn't seem to affect anything in terms of the cars performance or drivability ... it's just annoying.
For reference, I have a 2014 Laredo CRD ... awesome vehicle, it can even whistle!
Doesn't inspire you with confidence when you get any servicing done with that particular dealer...we're not talking rocket science here...just checking fluid levels
You guys are misunderstanding exactly what the predelivery inspection actually is. Do you really think it comprises checking the car?
Noooo. You would be wrong.
The predelivery check is in fact the dealership checking they have all your money.
Just an update on my whistle sound. It is when I'm at highway speeds and i take my foot of the accelerator and the car is in 8th/overdrive. If i flick it into neutral/back to 7 or accelerate it goes away instantly. Obviously something to do with the tranny? any ideas?
I've got a 3.6 V6 with just 1600 km on the clock and on occasions have heard a whistle sound but only when travelling at about 50 - 55 km/h. It disappears when I apply the brakes - mine doesn't sound like the transmission though. It's only occurring rarely so not really annoying at this point.
Old post I know but only just joined site and going thru a few pages...
I had a whistle that was bearly audible inside cabin on 3.6petrol.
I took it over to closest service centre morooka.
As soon as mechanic herd noise he said water pump.
replaced under warranty, they ordered on a friday and i had it fitted on Wednesday, been quiet since.
I had the same whistle when under back pressure downhill. Had the dealer blow out the air intake and found a couple of leaves lodged in the intake. The whistle has never returned in 10,000 k.
