2. Laramie CC 4x4 non-etorque
3. June 2018 build
4. 8900 miles
5. Problems
Mech - Groaning brakes (wet weather), and squealing brakes at various speeds. Touchy gas pedal - short lag or initially non-responsive when switching from Park or Drive or Reverse, makes it seem that Im abruptly launching from a stop every time, like a newly minted 16 yr old driver. Intermittent clunk from drivers front when turning and going over a pavement joint at low speed.
Interior - various rattles from dash area, close-sounding road noise (like an open window) when cars pass at low or high speed (possible noise reduction system malfunction or lack of door insulation?). Doors also seem to rattle a bit when pushed (not slammed) shut. Suspect sunroof not sealing adequately, as cabin feels very humid after rains. HK 19 speaker system is unable to get very loud at all. Im 48 so Im not blasting anything techno or dynamic, but sometimes you just want to crank some Clapton and it seems it cant get very loud, tried different sources, same songs, no difference. Heard similar issues with the Rebel Alpine system, so thinking its a Uconnect issue in general.
Overall, Im happy with the truck. I havent approached the dealer about any of the issues bc of (pick one): self doubt, no time to spend sitting in the waiting room, possible frustration at getting no actual help from dealer, feeling lucky I dont have larger problems.
