My 03 Sport needed a water pump at less than 2K miles. Squeal was not constant either. I was sure it was the belt, wrong, new pump cured it. Frank Sawin
believe it or not ....that's what my wife said...LOL but if was water pump...it would squeel during idle too, wouldn't it??
Jeff, The squeal was there at idle too, but much harder to hear. Soon as I brought up the rpms it got loud. I was stunned that the water pump would quit on a brand new Jeep, did not seem to phase the dealer and it was warranty work. Doesn't say much for quality, but I still love the Jeep. Frank Sawin
Your wife may be correct, I'll be waiting to hear...
I had my brake booster go with only 700km's on her. Lucky for me I was in a traffic jam and was barely moving!
They said I still had manual brakes...but for the life of me I couldn't stop without using the emergency brake. The RPM's would drift up by just pressing the brake peddle. Warrantee covered a new brake booster...
Growing pains I guess
Mine did the same but occasionally it did it at idle, the dealer replace the powersteering pump, belt tensioner, idler pulley, viscous fan assembly and then finally the water pump which cured it. Luckily it was all done under warranty. At least everything on the front of the engine is now new with the exception of the alternator :)

well ...I got it back from the dealer.... no Mr. Service Manager it's not due to MUD in the brakes, we already took them apart blew the crap outta them and put them back to find the squeel still there.....he was nice enough to grease the CV joint like I asked though, that's where I think it's coming from.... it hasn't squeeled YET... I'll update if any changes.... Thanks for all the replies! Jeff
On no, could it be that the wife was right?
