I have not seen this issue with any of my searches, nor have I heard about this from my 5 years of being on this forum.
On the way home from work last night, I thought I heard a vehicle next to me that had a obvious exhaust leak. Every time I came to a stop, the sound went away. I accelerated, and the noise got louder. Once I realized it was me, I turned off the radio and heard the sound from right underneath where the seats are.
When I got home, I crawled under the Jeep, and noticed that there was a crack where the passenger down-pipe met the flex pipe. I dropped the Jeep at the dealer this AM and was told that they would take a look. I am also having them take a look at the belt tensioner/idler pulley for the squeal when it is cold outside.
I am still waiting for the dealer to call back...Just wanted to document this in case anyone else runs into the same exhaust problem. The Cleveland winters no-doubt have played a role in the crack, but I do have the unlimited warranty, so we'll see what they have to say about this.
Once I hear back, I give the low-down...
