Hi guys. Question concerning a vibration in my '14 Rubicon. My wife was in an accident this past week and had no real damage physically, but now there is a vibration that is happening while sitting idle. Just wondering if anyone has ever had a similar issue. It only happens when sitting still that I can notice. Gets a lil worse when I shift into gear. I've brought it to my local dealer, but not much help there. Thanks

The Combustioner is loose.

Who was at fault in the accident?

If the answer is your wife, you are screwed (figuratively).

If not, get in touch with the responsible party's carrier.

Just do what my husband did when he could never figure out a rattle in his 2013 Rubicon....




trade it in for a specially ordered 2015 Hard Rock Rubicon. And because your wife is at fault in the accident, you could easily guilt her into this option.

the Rubicon crowd doesnt have the Goatee. just us lowly "sport" folk that had to customize their junk.

I already told him when he was figuring out all the options he wanted for his order he better get all the bells and whistles he wants now cause I will not be on board with him trading it in again in a few years if diesel option ever hits the U.S.

Maybe this is why you can't save for a down payment. New cars will eat you up.

She rear-ended someone so ofcourse she was at fault. No damage to the steel bumper beings this thing is built like a tank on the outside. She says the impact was only at about 15-20 mph. Just a vibration while sitting idle. None while accelerating that I can tell.
